social responsability
Many of our group and tailored intineraries take people to the province, so tourist expenditure benefits broader geographic areas, rather than cities alone.
environmental responsibility
Please, be friendly with forest. Don't purchase hard wood furniture manufactured from illegally felled lumber or made from lumber of unknown origin. Hard wood deforestation has scarred vast tracts of Tanzania in recent decades and has caused social, economic and enviromental consequences for local populations and the accelleration of global warming.
Avoid plastic materials and keep your use of plastic bag and packaging to a minimum.
Tanzania does not have the facilities or the capacity to engage in mass recycling, so this means that plastic waste is usually buried. Plastic bag can take hundreds of years to break down. Considering shopping with a cotton carry bag, or re-use a plastic bag.
Do not buy sea shells, coral or animal parts (rinho and elephant tusks/or lion, leopard skin/claws) wich are likely to be obtained illegaly or wich are sold illegaly.

what you will do
From Dar Es Salaam we take the road to Morongoro, the nearest town on the northern border of the park. The protected area of the Selous, located in southern Tanzania, is often ignored by the major tour operators but, with its 54,600 sq km, is one of the largest and most pristine wildlife parks in the world. Beautiful landscapes, few existing structures and a large number of animals including elephants, lions, buffalo, hippos, crocodiles, rhinos and African wild dogs. This reserve represents a unique sanctuary for bird watching as it also houses hundreds of different species of birds.
