Your journey begins early in the morning with pick-up from your hotel at around 4:40 am or 5:00 am, depending on your flight schedule. Our driver will transfer you to the airport for your domestic flight to Selous. The flight takes approximately one hour from Zanzibar.
Upon arrival, you will meet your professional driver-guide who will welcome you and organize the group, as this is a shared safari experience. You will then begin your game drive across the vast wilderness. Selous is one of the largest protected areas in Africa, offering excellent wildlife viewing in a natural and less crowded environment.
During the game drive, you may see lions, elephants, giraffes, zebras, buffaloes, hippos, crocodiles, and many other species. Your guide will provide information about the animals and the ecosystem throughout the day.
Around midday, you will stop at a designated picnic site for lunch. After lunch, the safari continues until approximately 3:00 pm, when you will transfer to the airstrip for your return flight to Zanzibar.
Upon arrival in Zanzibar, our professional driver will be waiting to transfer you safely back to your hotel.
