About this experience
Start your adventure with an early hotel pickup and airport transfer (if selected). At 7:30 AM, fly from Zanzibar to Selous Game Reserve (Nyerere National Park), arriving at Mtemere Airstrip around 8:20 AM.
Meet your guide and enjoy a full-day safari in a custom 4x4 vehicle with panoramic views. Explore savannahs, woodlands, and river areas while spotting elephants, lions, giraffes, zebras, hippos, buffalos, and possibly African wild dogs. Around 12:30–2:00 PM, enjoy a bush lunch before continuing your afternoon game drive. Arrive at your lodge around 5:00–6:00 PM for dinner and an overnight stay.
On Day 2, enjoy breakfast before a 2-hour boat safari on the Rufiji River, home to hippos, crocodiles, and birdlife. Return to Zanzibar on the 10:00 AM flight. If only the 4:00 PM flight is available, enjoy a complimentary walking safari or village tour with lunch included. Hotel transfers in Zanzibar are provided if selected.
