Boat Safari in Rufiji River – Selous Game Reserve
boat there are two types of boat safari we offer, afternoon boat trips and full day boat safaris.

The afternoon boat trip usually leaves camp at 3pm and returns at 6pm. It is an ideal trip if you have an afternoon free and would like to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Rufiji River with its many hippos, crocodiles and beautiful bird-life. The sunset can also be stunning from the boat- there is nothing quite like the serenity of the river while the sun dips below the horizon.

Our full day boat safari is quite a unique experience – the Selous is one of the very few game reserves in Africa where you can view game from the water and you have a much higher chance of seeing a larger variety of wildlife inside the Reserve than outside. Because the boat safari is carried out in the Game Reserve, entry fees must be paid.

Usually the boats are shared by guests unless a private trip is requested. We like to tailor our activities to your requirements, so please get in touch if you would like to discuss options.

 Rufiji River is the largest in Tanzania, draining most of the southern part of the country and navigable for about 100 km. It is formed by the convergence of two rivers; Kilombero and Luwegu. Its main tributary is the Great Ruaha River. Rufiji River flows from southwest highlands to eastern part of Tanzania entering the Indian Ocean, opposite Mafia Island. Rufiji River Delta is the natural drainage basin, containing the largest Mangrove forest in the world. It is located about 200 kilometers south of Dar-E-Salaam in the midway between Selous Game Reserve and Mafia Island Marine Park. ; the river acts as main feature in the Selous Game Reserve, which gives opportunity for River Boat safari. The area is rich in marine life that offer a healthy habitation for variety of fish and crustacean, which are supported by the deposition of mud and fresh water from the Rufiji River. Fish found here are: yellow fin, dogtooth tuna Wahoo, kingfish, Dorado, five-fingered jack, and red cod.

Pack for Your Safari

Image
You’ve waited months for your safari to finally come around. And now you have to decide what you must pack for your safari. Decisions, decisions, decisions.   Bohobe Travels   is here to help. Here are a few of our tips: 1. Passport, itinerary, travel insurance docs and eTickets It seems obvious, but we would be remiss if we didn't put this at the top of the list of what you must pack for your safari. 2. Prescription meds Remember to put your prescription medications in your hand luggage (in case your check-in bag goes astray... it happens!)…and make sure you have enough of each type to last your entire safari. 3. Prescription glasses (sunglasses, hat, sunblock et al) If you wear prescription glasses, be sure to pack more than one set (in case you lose one or they get broken). You will be outdoors for much of the time, so be prepared. Pack a hat, sunblock, long sleeves, and lip balm. 4. Camera, video and binoculars Whilst most people will remember to t...

When to see the Great Migration in Africa

Image
When to see the Great Migration in Africa The annual Wildebeest Migration that takes part throughout the Serengeti and Masai Mara ecosystem is one of the most spectacular events on the wildlife calendar. It has been described as “the greatest show on earth”. The migration route can change from year to year as the movements depend on rainfall and grazing. So predicting when to see the Great Migration in Africa can be a tricky science. Fortunately, Bohobe Travels guides on the ground in both Tanzania and Kenya have been documenting the migration dates over the last 10 years. During that period, there have not been many instances when the Great Migration has been in the exact same location during the same dates as the year before, as this is a natural phenomenon of the wilderness and dependent on numerous seasonal factors. This means there is a lot more skill involved in booking an African migration safari than simply replicating the dates of the previous year. Below is a rou...

Top Notch Travel Activities in Tanzania

                 Balloon flights Flights by balloon take off as dawn breaks over the Serengeti, the perfect silence of the early morning plains broken only by the soft roar of the balloon. Far below, wildebeests scatter, looking everywhere but up at the silent visitor that floats over their world. After the thrill of landing , a champagne breakfast awaits, the air becoming warmer as the sun climbs in the sky and curious zebra look up from their grazing at the chink of cutlery in the still warm bush. Diving Scuba diving the coral reefs off Tanzania’s coast at Zanzibar and Mafia Island offer some of the world’s finest scuba diving. Diving is possible all year around, although the Kusi Monsoon (strongest June-Sept) is accompanied by choppy seas and strong currents that make the more exposed reefs inaccessible. There can also be strong winds in December and January. Visibility is best from...
