Travel from Zanzibar to Selous : Between Land and Water, a Twilight Safari
At dawn, your adventure begins in Zanzibar, from where you'll take a light flight to Selous, one of Africa's most prestigious wildlife sanctuaries. On arrival at the Mtemere airstrip, you'll receive a warm welcome from our guide, who will introduce you to the exciting program that awaits you.
A game drive is the perfect way to immerse yourself in the world of large mammals and predators. The Selous is particularly renowned for its dense population of African wild dogs, offering a unique opportunity to observe these exceptional creatures.
Your day will be punctuated by game drives alternating with lunch breaks in the wilderness, allowing you to savor the unique atmosphere of the savannah. After a moment of relaxation at the camp, the afternoon will be devoted to a river safari, a privileged moment to admire the wildlife coming to drink at the water's edge and to marvel at the colonies of birds, as well as hippos and crocodiles.
At the end of the day, the return to camp is an opportunity to relax around a campfire, exchanging impressions and anecdotes, before concluding with dinner under the stars and a night lulled by the soothing sounds of the wilderness.
Dawn in the Bush and Safari: Getaway Until Dusk Before Returning to Zanzibar
Start your day before dawn with an invigorating tea or coffee, followed by a guided walk through the park's bush. This immersive experience is an exceptional opportunity to connect with nature and discover the intricacies of the African ecosystem. The walk offers a unique, up-close perspective of the natural environment, as you traverse the savannah trails.
After an invigorating return to enjoy your breakfast, you'll embark on a safari through some of the park's most wildlife-rich territories. Your exploration will take you through varied landscapes, from open savannah to river and lake shores, including game areas such as Lake Manze, Siwandu, Nzelekela and Tagalala, where you'll have the chance to spot elephants, giraffes, lions, buffalo, zebras, and perhaps even the elusive pack of African wild dogs. A picnic lunch awaits you in picturesque surroundings, offering panoramic views of the park.
Your adventure continues in the afternoon with an exploration of the dense African bush, immersing you even more deeply in the richness of the local wildlife. In the late afternoon, you'll be taken back to the airstrip to catch your flight back to Zanzibar, your heart and mind filled with the natural wonders you've explored.
