Zanzibar to Selous/Nyerere National Park

Our driver in Zanzibar will pick you up from your hotel and then drive you to the airport. You'll fly from Zanzibar to Mtemere Airstrip in Nyerere National Park early in the morning. As soon as you arrive in Selous/Nyerere, our guide will pick you up from Mtemere Airstrip, and then you'll start a game drive. Expect to see elephants, lions, leopards, buffalo, giraffes, zebras, and the rare African wild dogs. The park is also home to an incredible number of hippos and crocodiles along the Rufiji River. For bird enthusiasts, the park boasts over 440 recorded bird species, making it one of the best birding spots in East Africa. Unlike busier parks, Nyerere offers more private and uncrowded wildlife viewing. At around 10 am, you will have a short breakfast as you proceed with the game drive until lunchtime. Proceed with afternoon game drive, then head to the lodge for dinner and overnight.
