Travel from Zanzibar to Selous : Land and River Safari Adventure at Twilight
At sunrise, your adventure begins in Zanzibar with a flight to Selous, one of Africa's jewel wildlife reserves. As you descend onto the Mtemere airstrip, you'll be warmly greeted by our driver-guide, who will be delighted to introduce you to the exciting program of your stay.
Discovery by safari vehicle is the preferred approach for observing large game, including iconic predators. What's more, the Selous is famous for its dense population of wild dogs, offering an unprecedented chance to encounter these extraordinary animals.
Your day will be punctuated by rewarding game drives, interspersed with lunch breaks in the heart of nature, until early afternoon. Afterwards, relax at the camp before an exceptional river safari. This aquatic excursion is ideal for watching wildlife hydrate at the water's edge and marvelling at the various species of birds, hippos and crocodiles up close.
Your day ends at the camp, where a moment of relaxation around the fire awaits you, before enjoying dinner under the stars and the sounds of the wilderness for a restful night's sleep.
Dawn in the bush and Safari: Return to Zanzibar at the end of the day
At dawn, wake up to a tea or coffee session before setting off on a guided walk in the heart of the park's bush, a fascinating immersion in the wilderness and the ultimate way to discover the subtleties of African flora and fauna. This walk along the trails offers you a renewed and intimate perspective of the surrounding ecosystem.
After a revitalizing return for breakfast, your adventure continues with a motorized safari through the park's game-filled expanses. You'll explore the fertile territories of Lake Manze, Siwandu, Nzelekela and Tagalala, navigating through savannah, rivers and lakes. Be prepared to encounter a variety of animals, from elephants and giraffes to lions, buffalo, zebras and perhaps even the elusive African wild dog. A picnic lunch awaits you in an idyllic setting, offering panoramic views over the park.
Your journey continues in the afternoon with an exploration of the dense African bush, further enriching your wildlife experience. At the end of the day, you'll be taken back to the airstrip, ready to board your flight back to Zanzibar, your heart filled with the natural wonders you've discovered.
