Zanzibar to Nyerere NP/Selous GR and your first game drive

After an early breakfast, you will be taken to the airport for a flight in a sturdy bush plane to Nyerere. As soon as you arrive, you will spend a full-day game driving in Nyerere National Park (Selous). It’s one of the largest remaining wilderness areas in Africa. The reserve is crossed by the second biggest river in Tanzania, the Rufiji River, creating a very dynamic ecosystem. Selous is home to over 350 species of birds and reptiles, and about 2,000 plant species. You will also find a wide range of wildlife, including African elephant, hippopotamus, lion, Cape buffalo, Masai giraffe, zebra, crocodile, and everything in between. The vehicle is an open four-wheel-drive safari Jeep, perfectly suited for taking unobstructed pictures. The vehicles are low emission (thus less noise), to take you up-close to the wildlife. At the end of the day, you will check-in at Africa Safari Selous for a good dinner and overnight sleep.
