Venture into the heart of Tanzania’s wild beauty on a once-in-a-lifetime day trip to Selous Game Reserve, one of the largest protected wilderness areas in Africa. Often called Tanzania’s hidden gem, Selous spans over 50,000 square kilometers—an area bigger than Switzerland—and is home to a staggering diversity of wildlife, landscapes, and ecosystems.
Departing from either Zanzibar or Dar es Salaam, this guided safari offers a chance to explore a truly untouched part of East Africa, where nature thrives with minimal human interference. With the Rufiji River running through it and a mix of woodland, savannah, wetlands, and riverine forests, Selous is a sanctuary for over 2,000 plant species, 430 bird species, and 60 species of mammals, including:
- Lions, leopards, elephants, buffalos, giraffes
- Hippos, crocodiles, and many more!
Expect a thrilling day of wildlife viewing, photography, and learning from experienced local guides, all in the midst of one of Africa’s last great wildernesses.
