Jump straight into a thrilling game drive across Selous Game Reserve’s diverse terrain—ranging from riverbanks and open plains to dense woodlands—where you may spot elephants, giraffes, zebras, buffalos, impalas, and potentially lions or leopards. After a hearty lunch and some rest at your lodge or tented camp, your day continues with a magical sunset boat safari on the Rufiji River, offering close encounters with hippos, crocodiles, and vibrant birdlife as the golden light reflects off the water.
