Boating is a comfortable and relaxing way to enjoy the Tanzanian bush, offering a unique alternative to classic game drives. The Selous Game Reserve is famous for its lakes and for the Rufiji River, all of which can be explored by boat. Other top boating locations include Katavi, Rubondo and Saadani.
One of the best ways to view water birds in their natural habitats is on a boat safari. Expert guides will bring you close to many species of birds that you may not be able to see from land. Boat safaris are also great for big game viewing. Many animals spend the majority of their time close to the waters edge, where they drink and bathe. You may get to see the spectacular sight of a herd of elephants as it crosses a river or lake.
And of course there are the animals that you expect to see in African rivers, such as hippopotami and crocodiles. These two species usually live in close proximity without much interaction, but every now and then you may witness nature’s raw power in a fight between these two great beasts.
