1-Day Safari to Selous from Zanzibar – Africa’s Wild Side in One Day

ZANZIBAR ➜ SELOUS ➜ ZANZIBAR

Hey! Looking to add something wild and unforgettable to your dream vacation in Zanzibar?
Join us for a 1-day safari to Selous from Zanzibar – one of the most fascinating places in all of Africa.

And this isn’t just any national park. We’re talking about the largest wildlife reserve on the continent, stretching over 48,000 km² – that’s more than the entire Netherlands!

Here you get the chance to immerse yourself in truly wild Tanzania. Selous lies in the heart of the south – lesser known, less visited, but that’s exactly what makes it so raw, natural, and… real.

This is not a safari on paved tracks. You hop into a 4×4 off-road vehicle and venture deep into hidden parts of the reserve, places the typical tourist never reaches.
Every bend tells a new story – of lions stalking through the grass, elephants crossing your path, and landscapes straight out of National Geographic.

Picture it: breakfast in Zanzibar, then a sunrise flight over wild Africa, a safari along the Rufiji River, and a full day exploring the savannah. Then a sunset flight back – just in time for dinner by the ocean.

If a safari is on your bucket list – Selous will check it off in style.
