1-Day: Selous Game Reserve Safari from Zanzibar

Escape Zanzibar for a day and discover the wild landscapes of Selous Game Reserve—now largely known as Nyerere National Park—on a convenient fly-in safari. Depart Zanzibar early by safari aircraft and fly directly toward the Selous/Nyerere area. Spend the day exploring the wilderness on a game drive, with the possibility of seeing elephants, lions, giraffes, zebras, hippos, crocodiles, buffalo, wild dogs, and diverse birdlife. Return to Zanzibar in the evening, making this an excellent option for travelers who want a mainland Tanzania safari without adding several nights to their holiday.
