Itinerary and highlights
Nyerere National Park is a newly established Park that is part of what is known as Selous Game Reserve; founded in 2019 and covers over 30,000 square kilometres and is now the largest National Park in Africa.

This tour starts by departing from Zanzibar airport at 07h00, arriving at Selous Mtemere Airstrip at 08h00, received by our safari guide.
Immediately you will start a safari game drive, sightseeing the game in the park, driving through the savannah and along the river and lakes—picnic lunch at lunchtime in a stunning location with a clear park view.
Then you can go ahead with your journey exploring the African bushes before returning to the airstrip at around 16h00 for your scheduled flight back to Zanzibar.
