Zanzibar en Selous/Nyerere National Park

The safari adventure begins today! After an early breakfast, you will be transferred to Zanzibar Airport for a scenic flight to the Selous Game Reserve (now Nyerere National Park) in a sturdy bush plane. Upon arrival, you will be welcomed by your experienced safari guide, who will take you straight into the unspoilt African wilderness. This reserve, one of the largest protected nature reserves in Africa, offers spectacular landscapes of savannah, wetlands and forests, rich in wildlife. Keep your eyes peeled for elephants, lions, giraffes, zebras and even the elusive African wild dog. More than 350 species of birds and reptiles call this impressive ecosystem home. The game drive lasts until the afternoon, after which you will head to Africa Safari Selous for dinner and a relaxing night under the African starry sky.

Start the morning with a guided bush walk led by an experienced ranger, who will introduce you to the smaller wonders of the African bush. Learn to recognise animal tracks, identify native plants and understand the delicate balance of this ecosystem. This immersive experience allows you to connect with nature on a deeper level. In the afternoon, take a boat safari on the Rufiji River, which offers a unique perspective on Selous. Cruise through serene waters where hippos float, crocodiles bask along the banks and elephants come to drink. The river is also a paradise for birdwatchers, with African fish eagles, kingfishers and herons adorning the landscape. As the sun sets, you will return to Africa Safari Selous for a delicious dinner and another night in the heart of nature.

Get ready for another full day of safari adventure in Selous/Nyerere National Park. With varied landscapes and an enormous diversity of wildlife, today’s game drive offers the perfect opportunity to admire the unspoilt beauty of this UNESCO-recognised reserve. See herds of elephants roaming through the bush, lions resting under acacia trees and impalas running across the open plains. Your guide will take you along both popular and hidden trails, ensuring you have an unforgettable day in the wilderness. Stop at a picturesque spot for a bush lunch and enjoy the sights and sounds of African nature. After a day full of discoveries, return to Africa Safari Selous for dinner and a peaceful night surrounded by nature.

After breakfast, you will bid farewell to the African bush and depart for Selous Airstrip for your return flight to Zanzibar. Upon arrival, your driver will take you back to your beach resort, where the next five days will be all about relaxation and enjoyment. Relax by the pool, take long walks along the beach or opt for ocean adventures such as snorkelling, diving or deep-sea fishing. Fancy some cultural discoveries? Then visit Jozani Forest, Stone Town or a spice plantation and discover the rich history and traditions of Zanzibar. These days offer the perfect balance between renewal and exploration, allowing you to fully experience the magic of Zanzibar before your journey comes to an end.
