Selous Safari Options

1. Game Drives
Game drives are the most popular safari option in Selous Game Reserve. Open safari vehicles are driven by an expert guide who spots various wild animals not easily distinguishable. The guide will also give you the names of the colourful birds and other animals that you come across. Rufiji River is also home to the most dangerous animal in Africa, the hippo. These seemingly gentle giants spend much of the day in the water keeping cool and venture onto land at night. These giants are capable of covering huge distances at night in search of food before heading back to the water. During the long daytime game drives in open 4X4 vehicles you can see signs of their activities by their footprints.

2. River Boat Safaris
Boat rides on the vast and extensive Rufiji River system are also common, giving you a glimpse of alligators, crocodiles, water birds and other fauna that are not easily visible on land. A river boat safari usually lasts two and a half hours and the safari boat can take around 20 passengers along with two members of staff. The cruise starts by heading against the current in a westerly direction.

3. Walking Safaris
Rangers from the Tanzania Game Department invariably accompany visitors on these walking safaris, so they are invariably safe. The best time to book a walking safari in the Selous is from June until September when the weather is dry and warm – with animals being draw to the plentiful water around the Rufiji River. Walking safaris are usually based around a campsite and start early morning at 6 am lasting for about 1-2 hours covering no more than a mile or two.

4. Birding Trips
Several varieties of colourful little birds are found in abundance in Selous. If birds are your main passion then the hotter and greener season of October to March is a good time to come with many young hatching at this time. Be aware that from November through to January there is a good chance of rain.

KILIMANJARO TREKKING ROUTES
1. Marangu Route
This is the most popular and easiest route. It moves across the Saddle, a semi-desert zone on high altitude situated between Mawenzi and the Kilimanjaro main summit – Kibo. A place called Horombo Hut here is a regular haunt for climbers who seek to acclimatize themselves or seek rest, or who spend the night in wait so that they can climb the scree to the peak more easier while the ice stays frozen. As the most popular route it is only 39.8 miles to the top. Marangu is the best choice for the first-time climber as it is easiest route and takes six days with the least amount of difficulty. Read More……..
2. Rongai Route
This route is a good alternative to the Marangu route. It is probably the easiest route for the first time climber. It still experiences low traffic yet offers beautiful climbing, taking climbers through rainforest, plantations, bush as well as screes and caves. When timed well, your climb will also show you the sun as it rises from behind the Mawensi peak – a sight unlike any other. Read More………….
3. Machame Route
Known as the “Whisky” route, Machame route is the toughest trekking route, but the scenic beauty and numerous natural wonders on this trekking route allure the experienced climbers to choose it. Verging on 50 km through rainforest, moorland and then alpine desert, this week-long track offers a scenic route to the Machame Camp. The Machame is an excellent track for acclimatization and perfect for the thrill seekers. Read More………..
4. Lemosho Route
For a touch of perfection, nearly unsullied natural beauty, Lemosho route is the ideal trail up Mount Kilimanjaro. It is an alternative access for the now blocked Western Breach route as it approaches from the west. Trekking Kilimanjaro via this route provides you with views of the mountain from a variety of angles, taking you through forests with alpine flowers and along a ridge past a collapsed volcanic crater. It is the more ideal option for the intermediate climbers rather than absolute beginners. Read More………
5. Northern Circuit
The Northern Circuit is a new route up the Kilimanjaro that has overtaken the Machame as the most popular trekking route. It is a low-rising circuitous track circling almost the entirety of the mountain during ascent. However, the scenic and impressive trail offers a glimpse of everything the mountain has to offer, making it well worth the nine days spent trekking. Read More……….
6. Umbwe Route
This is the toughest route to climb the Kilimanjaro – moving through forest track and continuing along the ridged land between the rivers Umbwe and Lonzo. Read More……….

The Actual Trekking
All in all, whichever route you decide on for your trek, expect a memorable experience. On any of the routes, on a clear day you have the opportunity of wonderful views of the East African plains. Remember there are no rush and the slower you go the more chance you have of your body dealing with the altitude. Descending the routes can be equally challenging, especially the first few hours as the route is generally scree so can be very slippery, and it’s very steep, so it’s hard going on the knees and toes.
Best Time to Climb Kilimanjaro
Climbing Mount Kilimanjaro can be done at all times of the year. However, the rainy seasons of late March to mid June; and October to late November should be avoided because they deepen visibility and makes routes slippery. For those who dream of seeing the famous snows of Kilimanjaro, January to March is the only period to be considered. Hiking is also open to children from ten years.

Tips When Preparing to Climb Kilimanjaro
Mt. Kilimanjaro only needs basic fitness in order to climb it. However, the glorious ice caps on the mountain tops have begun to melt at alarming rates. Here are four steps that will successfully get you where you need to go – straight to the top
1. Choice of Tour Operator
For climbing Kilimanjaro, the choice of tour operator is also important, given that climbing can be done without a guide. Different tour operators offer different packages such as airfare, hotel accommodation, travel, equipment, and much more.
2. Booking in Advance
There are a lot of challenges involved. It can be dangerous and expensive to organize and execute a climb. It is plausible to book your trip well enough in advance.
3. Choose the right guide
There are many guides in the Tanzanian region where Kilimanjaro is located. Don’t think that just because someone is in business they are automatically reputable. Cost isn’t exactly a determining factor of reputation either. This is very important because the only way you can climb Kilimanjaro is through an organized trek. We strongly recommend listening to your guide’s advise at all times.
4. Get Yourself Ready Physically and Mentally
It requires confidence, physical and mental readiness for climbing Kilimanjaro. Most failures are due to people physically not being able to acclimatise due to the high altitude. If you’ve some training of hiking or trekking, then it will give you some confidence. You can also have one or two month training prior to climbing it.

GAME HUNTING HOTSPOTS IN NAMIBIA

Kalahari Plains
The Kalahari Plains in south-east Namibia is an area of ancient red dunes scattered with grass and low bush and umbrella-shaped Camelthorn trees. It is one of the most famous places to hunt big game animals, such as lions, hyenas, and a variety of other wildlife that populate the surrounding area. However, hunters sometimes must trek great distances on game walks and game drives led by chief hunter-gatherers of the desert, the San Bushmen (Basarwa).

Klawerberg
Located in the Dordabis Conservancy of the central region of Namibia, Klawerberg proudly presents the hunter 24,000 privately owned acres of magnificent prime game hunting territory. 22 species of African game are sighted in abundance, including the Kudu, Oryx, Zebra, Blesbok, Hartebeest, Springbok, Warthog, Eland and Wildebeest. Numerous smaller game and a wealth of bird life can also be seen.

A lioness killing a Zebra
Etosha National Park
Etosha National Park is one of the prime African plains trophy hunting spots. This extensive national park shelters large herds of Springbok, Plain Zebra, Blue Wildebeest and Oryx. Hyenas, Lions and Elephants are regular visitors and often become a problem when they collide with the humans. The Park also has the black rhino which is considered endangered. A plains game hunter will seldom be offered to shoot one of those problem animals. Hunters that are prepared to arrive on short notice (within 5 days) can experience a big game hunt for a reduced price.

Khomas Hochland Mountains
Situated 40 miles west of the capital, Windhoek, the foothills of beautiful mountainous Khomas Hochland are some of those hunting areas that are home to the largest free roaming Mountain Zebras and Oryx in southern Africa. Fly camps are popularly used in the more remote regions for overnight.
Other Hunting Destinations
Bushmanland Areas
Farm Natalia, Eastern Areas
Caprivi Strip

Hunting Season in Namibia
In General the hunting season in Namibia opens in February and runs through November. The 10 months long period incorporates four seasons. There are no particular months when plains game hunting is necessarily better, but time constraints or personal considerations such as weather, touring, wing shooting, bow hunting or specific seasonal activities might make a certain period of time more desirable to you.
Keep in mind while contemplating about your hunting tour to Namibia, that since the country lies in the Southern hemisphere, seasons are opposite of those in the Northern hemisphere.
In reality our Namibian climate is pleasantly low in humidity, the dry heat being much more tolerable and therefore more conducive to hunting safaris than is the case in most other destinations for hunting in Africa.
