Dar Es Salaam Serena Inn Arrive in Dar Es Salaam, met and transferred to your hotel. Dar Es Salaam Serena Inn | Meals: Breakfast Dar es Salaam's origins have been influenced by a myriad of Sultans, the Germans, and the British. The city started as a fishing village in the mid-19th century, is now Tanzania's largest city, and has become one of East Africa’s most important ports and trading centres. With its great atmosphere, mix of African, Muslim, and South Asian influences, picturesque harbour, beaches, chaotic markets, and historical buildings, it is well worth extending your stay beyond the time between flights.

Siwandu Camp It’s a short flight from Dar es Salaam to Selous Game Reserve – Africa’s largest protected area, spanning 55,000 square kilometres, and swarming with wildlife. Settle into your luxurious accommodation at Siwandu, its spacious octagonal tents nestling into a peaceful palm grove on the shores of Lake Nzerakera. Set deep in the reserve, Siwandu offers a varied menu of experiences. Head out on a walking safari, watching for giraffe, elephant or even lion, track game on a jeep safari or take to the waters of the Rufiji River system on a boat (depending on the season) with an experienced guide. As well as perhaps 70,000 elephant, 120,000 buffalo, 40,000 hippo and 4,000 lions, there’s also the chance of spotting a roaming pack of ‘painted’ African wild dogs. With rarely seen sable antelope and more than 350 bird species, Selous is a treat for wildlife-watchers – and with very few lodges and camps, you’ll have the vast riverine expanses largely to yourself.
