Boat safaris can be organised for the morning or afternoon and are included within the cost of your stay in the Selous. Allowing you to see the wildlife from a completely different perspective, the quiet nature of the boat (in comparison to a game driving vehicle) allows you to get closer to the land mammals coming to the water to drink and affording a truly unique experience. The several hundred species of birdlife will follow you as you glide effortlessly and comfortably along the river, with hippos, crocodiles, baboons, buffalos, elephants and even giraffes being regularly spotted.
We recommend at least one afternoon boat safari during a visit to the Selous, allowing you to watch the light of the setting sun reflect on the water in a truly breath-taking show of natural beauty.
