Along with its vastness comes the desire by guests to experience parks like Selous, Ruaha, Gombe and Mahale, which are mostly only accessible by air without spending full daylight hours on often very rough road. Such discerning and adventurous attractions have led a few airline companies to make it possible to reach these parks. Visits to key national parks like Ngorongoro and Serengeti, often visited by tourists in large numbers due to its close and convenient proximity to Arusha town, are now being combined with remote parks like Selous and Ruaha to create a perfect combination of what an a genuine, authentic and true African safari experience ought to provide.
