Dear Travellers,

I am planning my trip to tanzania.. for about 4 weeks I know its a little short in time.. but I am planning to leave end of January cause I can't plan much ahead cause of work!

I need help for Suggested Travel Routes where its possible to use plane from a distance to another better to save time, and where its not Train / Bus / 4x4.. I planned my destinations below, one after each other thinking its the best route to go..

Also any suggested camp sites / lodges will be helpful! - and if its good duration or not

Arrive to Dar es Salaam

Selous Game Reserve - 3 nights

Ruaha National Park- 3 nights

Lake victoria - 2 nights

Serengeti National Park - 5 nights

Usambara / Para Mountains - 4 nights

Zanzibar - 6 nights

Mafia Island - 4 nights

My aim is the wild life.. beaches and culture

Thank you travellers!

Hi there!
As you skip Victoria,i suggest you to take a flight in Dar es Salaam.
In Selous Game Reserve take Selous River Camp.
Simply:Zanzibar,Selous Game Reserve,Ruaha NP,Serengeti NP,Usambara and Mafia island.From Selous to Ruaha you can take 4WD, but from Ruaha to Serengeti take a flight.
Lets talk.
