Witness the beauty and power of African wild dogs on a Thornton Safaris wildlife safari.
 

RUAHA, KATAVI & THE SELOUS 

For the wildlife connoisseur, this is where one finds the Big 3 of antelope: sable, roan and kudu. Not to mention some of the finest elephant experiences and a critical refuge for predators, especially the endangered African hunting dog.

We can enjoy dawn game drives winding through Ruaha’s breathtaking siberiana forests, shining yellow in the sunlight and dotted with elephant herds. In Katavi we marvel at the largest groups of hippo on earth, set amidst spectacular palm-studded floodplains. We combine these adventures with the water experiences in Selous, game viewing by boat on the Rufiji River.

Southern Tanzania is an ideal a first time or return safari, combining well with Serengeti and Mahale Mountains for chimp trekking.

From your endless knowledge on our walks in the bush to our surprise visit to the hippos today to the laughs in camp, it’s been amazing.
