Escape to the wild and remote landscapes of southern Tanzania with this 3-day fly-in safari from Zanzibar to the spectacular Nyerere National Park (formerly Selous Game Reserve). This safari offers a unique combination of classic game drives and an authentic walking safari, giving you a deeper connection with nature. You will enjoy two nights at the beautiful African Safari Selous, surrounded by untouched wilderness.
This fly-in safari is perfect for travelers looking to explore one of Africa’s largest and most unspoiled wildlife reserves without long travel times. A short scenic flight from Zanzibar takes you directly into the heart of Nyerere National Park, where vast landscapes, rivers, and diverse wildlife await.
Unlike the northern parks, Nyerere offers a quieter and more exclusive safari experience with fewer crowds and unique activities such as walking safaris and boat safaris (seasonal). The park is home to elephants, lions, buffaloes, giraffes, hippos, crocodiles, and the rare African wild dogs. The combination of game drives and a guided walking safari makes this itinerary truly special and immersive.
