It’s a heavily travelled route, with plenty of accommodation and dining choices at all stops. Starting at Arusha , explore one or two of the northern parks. Good wildlife- watching combinations include Serengeti National Park and Ngorongoro Crater (with a Lake Natron detour) or Ngorongoro plus Lake Manyara National Park and Tarangire National Park. Alternatively, go trekking in the north on Mt Meru or Mt Kili- manjaro, and do some hiking and cultural interaction around Arusha or in Marangu. Next, head southeast towards the coast. Detour to Lushoto and the Usambara Moun- tains for hiking and a taste of village life. Continue to Dar es Salaam and catch the ferry or plane to Zanzibar. Fly directly from Arusha to Zanzibar, or travel from the Usambaras to Tanga and the Pangani beaches, from where you can take a boat to Zanzibar. Once on Zanzibar, explore Stone Town before relaxing on the beaches along the east coast or in the north. 20 RWANDA Lake Victoria •# #÷ Mwanza Serengeti É National KENYA Park BURUNDI •# Arusha É PLAN YOUR TRIP Gombe #÷ National Park •# É Kigoma É Zanzibar Mahale Mountains National Park #÷ ITINERARIES Katavi #÷ É National Ruaha •# Park National Dar es É Park #÷ Mikumi Salaam •# #÷ Iringa É National É É DEMOCRATIC Kipili •# #÷ Park REPUBLIC OF •# Sumbawanga Kisolanza •# THE CONGO Udzungwa Mafia Mountains Mufindi •# National Park É É Mbeya•# Lake Tanganyika •#Tu k u y u •#Matema ZAMBIA MALAWI One Month The Southern Highlands & Western Tanzania Heading southwest from Dar es Salaam, you’ll quickly fi nd yourself in the scenic Southern Highlands. A good fi rst stop for a night or two en route to the highlands is Mikumi National Park, with its easily spotted wildlife. From Mikumi, it’s a straightforward detour to Udzungwa Mountains National Park, where backpackers and adventure travellers can enjoy several days hiking up the steep, moist, lushly vegetated slopes. Alternatively, continue from Mikumi straight on to Iringa, which makes a relaxing base. Once in Iringa, a two- or three-night detour to Ruaha National Park is easily arranged and well worth the eff ort. From Iringa, it’s a straight shot down the highway to Mbeya, with stops en route at the lovely Kisolanza, just off the main highway, or at scenic Mufi ndi, with its tea plantations. Both merit at least several days for relaxing and exploring. While Mbeya town is not as amenable as Iringa, there is plenty to do in the surrounding area, including hiking around Tukuyu or canoeing, exploring and hiking around Matema, with its picturesque beach. Taking your time, and exploring the various detours en route, it would be easy enough to spend the fi rst three weeks of your itinerary up to this point. With the remaining time, you could return the way you came, with time left over at the end for a short stay on Zanzibar or Mafi a islands. If you’ve kept a brisker pace, omitting detours, you should have time to continue north- west from Mbeya via Sumbawanga to Katavi National Park. This park deserves at least three days, especially in the dry season, when wildlife watching is at its best, although even a day trip in season can be very rewarding. Double back, and down the escarpment to Lake Tanganyika at Kipili for several days relaxing before taking the MV Liemba to Mahale Mountains National Park and the chimpanzees, or on to Kigoma. Kigoma is an ame- nable stop for several days, and Gombe National Park is close by for an overnight. From Kigoma, take the train, bus or fl y back to Dar es Salaam. Alternatively (and with more than one month), continue overland from Kigoma to Mwanza and Lake Victoria, from where you could proceed into the Serengeti and on to Arusha. 21 #– Kilimanjaro É International Airport KENYA RÉ Pare Mountains #÷ Mkomazi PLAN YOUR TRIP É National Park É R Usambara É Mountains •# Lushoto #÷ •# Ta n ga Amani Nature É •# Reserve Pangani ITINERARIES É INDIAN OCEAN Saadani National #÷ Park •#Bagamoyo É •# Dar es Salaam Two Weeks Northeastern Tanzania First week: after several days in Dar es Salaam, including a visit to historical Bagamoyo, travel northwards to explore the Pangani area with its beaches and long history, and to enjoy Tanga, with its amenable ambience and excur- sions. A good detour en route is to Saadani National Park, with its beach and its wildlife. Second week: buses leave Tanga daily for Lushoto and the western Usambaras. Bota- nists and birders can detour en route to Amani Nature Reserve in the Eastern Usam- baras, with its cool forest walks and traditional medicinal display.

  • Selous Game Reserve Tanzania

    Selous Game Reserve Tanzania

    SELOUS GAME RESERVE TANZANIA Selous contains a third of the wildlife estate of Tanzania. Large numbers of elephants, buffaloes, giraffes, hippopotamuses, ungulates and crocodiles live in this immense sanctuary which measures almost 50,000 square kilometres and is relatively undisturbed by humans. The Reserve has a wide variety of vegetation zones, from forests and dense thickets to open wooded grasslands and riverine swamps. COUNTRY Tanzania NAME Selous Game Reserve NATURAL WORLD HERITAGE SITE 1982: Inscribed on the World Heritage List under Natural Criteria ix and x. STATEMENT OF OUTSTANDING UNIVERSAL VALUE The UNESCO World Heritage Committee issued the following Statement of Outstanding Universal Value at the time of inscription: Brief Synthesis The Selous Game Reserve, covering 50,000 square kilometres, is amongst the largest protected areas in Africa and is relatively undisturbed by human impact. The property harbours one of the most significant concentrations of elephant, black rhinoceros, cheetah, giraffe, hippopotamus and crocodile, amongst many other species. The reserve also has an exceptionally high variety of habitats including Miombo woodlands, open grasslands, riverine forests and swamps, making it a valuable laboratory for on-going ecological and biological processes. Criterion (ix): The Selous Game Reserve is one of the largest remaining wilderness areas in Africa, with relatively undisturbed ecological and biological processes, including a diverse range of wildlife with significant predator/prey relationships. The property contains a great diversity of vegetation types, including rocky acacia-clad hills, gallery and ground water forests, swamps and lowland rain forest. The dominant vegetation of the reserve is deciduous Miombo woodlands and the property constitutes a globally important example of this vegetation type.
