3 Days Selous Safari with Flights from Zanzibar
3 Days Selous Safari with Flights From Zanzibar is the perfect way to immerse yourself in the wilderness of Tanzania. This adventure takes you to the heart of Nyerere National Park (formerly Selous Game Reserve), one of Africa’s largest and most diverse protected areas. This safari package includes convenient flights from Zanzibar, ensuring you spend more time enjoying the untamed beauty of Selous rather than worrying about lengthy travel logistics.

A Journey to Nyerere National Park
The 3-Day Selous Safari with Flights From Zanzibar begins with a transfer from your hotel in Zanzibar to the airport. Depending on the location of your hotel and the airport's distance, your pick-up time will be arranged accordingly. A scenic flight will bring you to the wild landscapes of Selous, where you will experience a game drive through the vast savannahs, woodlands, and wetlands of the reserve. Here, you’ll have the chance to spot elephants, lions, giraffes, zebras, and over 400 bird species. Your first night will be spent at the renowned Africa Safari Selous, offering comfort amidst the wild.

Exciting Boat Safari and Maasai Visit
On the second day of your 3 Days Selous Safari with Flights From Zanzibar, you’ll explore the famous Rufiji River on a captivating boat safari. This river is a lifeline to the park’s wildlife, and you’ll encounter hippos, crocodiles, and a variety of bird species. After the boat safari, immerse yourself in the rich traditions of the Maasai community by visiting their village. Learn about their culture, way of life, and the vibrant traditions that have remained unchanged for centuries. You’ll once again return to Africa Safari Selous for a restful overnight stay.

Memorable Final Day with Game Drive
Your last day of the 3 Days Selous Safari with Flights From Zanzibar offers a chance to enjoy another game drive in the morning. With every turn, you’ll uncover new wildlife encounters and breathtaking landscapes. As the safari concludes, a flight back to Zanzibar will take you to the comfort of your hotel, bringing an end to your unforgettable adventure in Selous.

Flexible Options for Your Safari
The 3 Days Selous Safari with Flights from Zanzibar is an affordable and convenient option for travelers, with group prices ranging between $750 and $800 per person. This package allows you to share the adventure with other travelers in an open jeep safari, fostering camaraderie and excitement.

If you prefer a more intimate experience, you can opt for a private safari. This includes a private safari car and guide, offering flexibility and exclusivity. While the flights remain shared, the private experience incurs an additional cost for the exclusive car and guide services.
