Embark on a once-in-a-lifetime journey from the white beaches of Zanzibar to the raw, untamed wilderness of Selous Game Reserve — Africa’s largest protected wildlife area. This fly-in day safari offers you a front-row seat to one of the most authentic and remote safari experiences in Tanzania, all within a single day.
Selous (now officially known as Nyerere National Park) is renowned for its unspoiled landscapes and dense wildlife population. Home to lions, elephants, giraffes, zebras, wild dogs, crocodiles, hippos, buffaloes, and hundreds of bird species, the park offers an experience that’s less crowded and more intimate than the northern safari circuits. Its rivers, lakes, savannas, and woodlands create the perfect setting for spectacular wildlife encounters.
