Day 01
Fly to Selous (Nyerere) National Park for a Full-Day Safari
- Kick-start this beautiful morning with a packed breakfast from your hotel or residence before heading to Zanzibar Airport for a morning flight to Mtemere Airstrip in Selous (Nyerere) National Park. The flight lasts between 50 minutes and 1 hour, depending on the booked flight.
- After the plane lands at Mtemere Airstrip in Selous, you will be welcomed by one of our experienced driver-guides for a briefing before you begin your guided tour, or game drive, through this secluded wilderness area. Spend a full day traversing the sweeping plains in a hatch-top safari vehicle and look forward to common sightings of yellow baboons, greater kudu, lions, Masai giraffes, zebras, Defassa waterbucks, impalas, Cape buffaloes, vervet monkeys, hippos, and wildebeests, among others. You may also occasionally come across African wild dogs, African bush elephants, cheetahs, and sable antelopes, while leopards, spotted hyenas, and black rhinos are found in the park but are rarely encountered during game drives.
- For lunch, find a comfortable picnic site with the help of your driver-guide. Given the experience of our guides, he or she will choose a spot with beautiful scenery and fascinating views of wildlife species in the national park.
- After this rewarding adventure, continue to Mtemere Airstrip for your return flight to Zanzibar Airport. On arrival at the airport, our driver will be waiting to take you back to your hotel within Zanzibar or bid farewell as you embark on your international flight. This marks the end of the day trip to Selous (Nyerere) National Park.
