What to expect

Selous Game Reserve

Selous Game Reserve is one of Tanzania's key wildlife areas, where large mammals and varied ecosystems come together. Your time here focuses on a full-day game drive that combines wildlife viewing with guided interpretation of the landscapes and animal behavior.

Features

• A scenic flight route on your return flights Zanzibar–Selous–Zanzibar gives you aerial views over the Indian Ocean and Tanzanian landscapes before and after your time in the reserve.

• All park entry and conservation fees are covered for you, so you can move through the reserve checkpoints and game-viewing areas without arranging any permits on the day.

• A bush lunch is included during the break in your game drive, with a vegetarian option available; bottled drinking water throughout the safari helps you stay hydrated in the outdoor conditions.

• Your shared safari with other guests is led by an expert English-speaking guide, with German, Russian, and French available on request, who explains Selous's unique ecosystems and wildlife behavior as you travel.
