A Day Trip To Selous Fly From Zanzibar

Depart from either Zanzibar at 8:00 am or Dar es Salaam at 8:20 am aboard a shared charter plane for a one-hour flight to an airstrip within Selous Game Reserve. Upon arrival, embark on a game drive to immerse yourself in the natural wonders the reserve has to offer. Encounter elephants, lions, elands, leopards, cheetahs, giraffes, wild dogs, lesser kudu, hippos, and crocodiles residing in this expansive sanctuary, spanning 50,000 sq. km, largely untouched by human influence. The park features diverse vegetation zones, ranging from dense thickets to open wooded grassland.

Enjoy a picnic lunch in the bush, take a leisure break for an hour, and then resume the game drive to experience the African Savannah safari teeming with wildlife. Witness wild animals following trails to lakes and rivers for water. Continue with game drives until around 4:00 pm, and then board your return flight to Dar es Salaam or Zanzibar. While this is a brief safari, it is a worthwhile experience, especially for those with limited time for such adventures.
