Day 1: Transfer to Selous & Sunset boat safari
Our professional driver will pick you up in Dar es Salaam, from where you’ll begin your scenic drive to Selous (approximately 3–4 hours), passing coastal towns, villages, and rich landscapes along the way. Upon arrival at your lodge in the afternoon, check in, enjoy lunch, and prepare for a sunset boat safari along the Rufiji River.

With a packed lunch provided, you’ll explore different habitats ranging from open plains and woodland to swamps and rivers. Keep your eyes peeled for elephants, lions, giraffes, zebras, wildebeests, and the elusive African wild dog. Your experienced guide will help track wildlife and share insights into the reserve’s ecosystem. As the day winds down, you’ll return to the camp for dinner and another night in the tranquil bush.
Day 3: Bush Walk & Fly-out to Zanzibar
Start the day with an early morning walking safari led by an armed ranger, offering you the rare opportunity to explore the African bush on foot and learn about animal tracks, plants, and smaller wildlife often missed during drives.
