What to expect

This two-day, budget-friendly trip from Zanzibar takes you into the heart of Nyerere National Park – AKA the Selous Game Reserve – for an adventure that’s likely to bring you face to face with everything from lions and zebras to elephants and endangered African wild dogs. This area, which has been designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is the largest protected game reserve on the entire African continent, so get ready for wildlife galore.

During your safari trip, you’ll stay at the Africa Safari Selous, a lodge that’s built right by a natural watering hole where lots of native animals come to drink and cool off. So, even when you’re not out on a game drive, there’s still a high likelihood you’ll see some of the locals roaming around in their natural habitats.

Your first day consists of a full-day game drive. Your second day starts with a guided bush walk to observe and learn the secrets of the African bush, followed by a scenic boat safari along the Rufiji River. You might be able to spot hippos, crocodiles and dozens of different bird species. In the afternoon, you'll board your flight back to Zanzibar, after enjoying lunch in the lodge.

Our established in-house oversight includes regular audits, operator performance reviews, and continuous monitoring to ensure compliance with our safety management system
