Safari summary

1 Day Selous Safari from Paje

1 day Selous Safari from Paje is a one-day fly-in fly-out safari from Zanzibar to Nyerere National Park, offering a simple way to add Tanzania wildlife viewing to your beach holiday. The package includes flights, airport transfers, guided game drives, breakfast, lunch, and drinking water, allowing you to travel from Paje to the safari area and return to Zanzibar on the same day.

A 1 day Selous Safari from Paje is especially convenient for travelers who have limited time but still want to see wildlife beyond the beaches of Zanzibar. Instead of spending most of the day on a road transfer, you fly toward the park and dedicate your available time to guided game viewing.

You can choose between a group-joining safari and a private safari. On the group-joining option, you share the safari vehicle and guide with other travelers. On the private option, you have a private safari vehicle and guide for the game drives, while the flight is shared with other passengers.

A Quick Wildlife Adventure from Paje

Your 1 day Selous Safari from Paje connects two very different sides of Tanzania: the relaxing coastline of Zanzibar and the wild landscapes of Nyerere National Park.

The journey begins with an early pickup from your accommodation in Paje. You will then travel to Zanzibar Airport for your flight toward the safari area.

After landing, your guide will meet you with the safari vehicle. Following breakfast, your game drive begins. Spend the morning searching for wildlife, enjoying the scenery, and taking photographs before stopping for lunch.

The afternoon brings another opportunity for wildlife viewing before you return to the airstrip for your flight back to Zanzibar.

Group Joining or Private Safari?

Choosing between group joining and private travel is an important part of planning your 1 day Selous Safari from Paje.

Group Joining

The group-joining option is designed for travelers who are happy to share the safari vehicle and guide with other guests.

It provides a social way to enjoy the game drive and can offer a lower price than a private safari.

Private Safari

The private option gives you a private safari vehicle and guide during the wildlife-viewing activities.

The flight is shared with other passengers, but once you arrive at the safari destination, your vehicle and guide are reserved for your private safari experience.

What to Expect on Your Safari

A 1 day Selous Safari from Paje requires an early start and a full schedule, but the reward is the opportunity to experience a mainland wildlife destination during a Zanzibar holiday.

Expect an early pickup, airport transfer, flight, breakfast, guided game drives, lunch, an afternoon game drive, return flight, and transfer back to Paje.

Wild animals are free to move throughout the park, so sightings vary from day to day. Your guide will search suitable areas and help you identify wildlife during the drive, but no particular animal sighting can be guaranteed.
