WALKING SAFARIS: (Offered at the Main Camp on the Rufiji River and at the Kisaki Annex Camp). There can be little to
compare with a walk in the bush. The sights and sounds (and smells!) of a walking safari will long live in the memory. The thrill of creeping up to animals and then to "shoot" the animal not with a gun but
with your camera, is a great experience.
On a Walking safari, you are accompanied at all times by an expert tracker or guide.
Walking safaris can be tailored to a persons wish, as distances and temperature are to be considered for each person. Walks do
not cover, as much distance as drives, so one may not see as many animals. But a walking safari takes interest into smaller things, such as birds, bugs, trees, flowers or tracks. Although you may come across bigger
Game as well.

HOT SPRINGS & SELOUS GRAVE: (Offered only from the Kisaki Annex camp as a Full day safari). There are several Hot
Springs or "Maji Moto" as they are called in Kiswaheli, hidden within the Beho Beho Hills and surroundings in the Selous Game Reserve.
Some of these Hot springs are easy to reach by vehicle or by a
small walk into a ravine surrounded by lush vegetation. Hot sulphurous water flows from the rocks, pours down the mountain in little streams forming a series of picturesque pools. A Hot Spring like this one has been
the source of that legendary water which was supposed to have made the warriors of the 1905 "Maji Maji" uprising invulnerable against the bullets of the German colonial troops.
On the way to the Hot
Springs one will pass the Grave of Frederic Courtney Selous, a naturalist, explorer, hunter and soldier, who was killed in 1917, during World War One near the Beho Beho Hills.
Along the entire safari one will be able to watch game as well.
