3-Day Selous Wildlife Safari from Zanzibar with Rufiji River Cruise

• Start your safari at Zanzibar Airport, where you must arrive 60 minutes before your 9:30 am departure.
• Upon arrival at Mtemere Airstrip in Selous Game Reserve at 11:15 am, meet your driver-guide and transfer to the lodge for check-in.
• After lunch, depart for a village tour of Mloka Village and return at around 4 pm.
• Embark on an adventurous and romantic evening sunset boat safari along the Great Rufiji River to spot hippos, crocodiles, and birds, and enjoy the spectacular sundown.

Dinner and overnight at Selous Kinga Lodge on a full-board basis.

• After an early breakfast, depart for a full-day game drive in a 4x4 modified safari vehicle with a professional guide in Selous Game Reserve. Explore the wildlife in the surrounding areas from your seat in an open-roofed vehicle for a comfortable and privileged journey through the wild African bush.

• Look out for some of Africa's favourite large mammals, including elephants, giraffes, lions, buffalo, zebra, and even the rare African wild dog.

• A picnic lunch will be provided at midday. Your guide will choose a location with shade and nearby water, where you may watch animals coming to drink, with a clear view all around so that no predator can approach unseen.

• Before the end of the day, return to the lodge, and spend the rest of the evening at your leisure.

Dinner and overnight at Selous Kinga Lodge.

• Set out on an early morning walking safari in Selous Game Reserve, usually starting at 6:00-6:30 am after early morning tea or coffee, accompanied by an armed ranger. The walk lasts around 2-3 hours.

• Focus on the habitat in which the animals live, as well as insects, trees, and birdlife.

• After breakfast, check out and transfer to Mtemere Airstrip for your scheduled 11:30 am flight back to Zanzibar.
