When you're considering Tanzania, you need to bear in mind that there are areas and areas. For example, the buffer zone areas around the game reserves such as the Selous, allow permanent human habitation but this is not allowed inside the Selous itself.

That means that generally speaking the game populations inside the Selous are considerably better than in the buffer zones.

When you see an ad for an area charmingly described as 'nestling against or immediatly next to' etc the Selous and it's cheaper than a hunt inside the Selous, that's the reason....... less money, sure, but also less game for the obvious reason.

Feel free to contact me at shakari3@mweb.co.za if you need further info and/or advice. - I don't believe in any of that hard sell BS and if you just want advice and nothing else, that's exactly what you'll get.

I've also just noticed a mistake on the kuduland.com site which is being corrected as I type. - Booze is included in all our safaris bar one or two. Sorry 'bout that, I've no idea how it happened!

BTW, don't you just love the watermarks on the right hand side of the pages of the kuduland.com site. - Mrs Shakari thought of that and it still puts a smile on my face every time I look at it!!
