Tour Itinerary
Day 1: Arrival and Transfer to Selous Game Reserve
Your journey begins with your arrival in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania’s bustling capital. Our experienced guides will meet you at the airport and assist you with your transfer to Selous Game Reserve. The adventure truly begins as we travel through the picturesque landscapes, where you will see local villages, lush greenery, and the stunning contrast of the African sky.
Upon arrival at the reserve, you will check into your lodge, which will serve as your base for the next few nights. Imagine cozying up in a luxurious tented accommodation, surrounded by the sounds of nature. After a refreshing meal, you’ll have time to unwind and soak in the serene environment.
In the evening, we will embark on a guided night game drive. This unique experience allows you to witness the nocturnal behaviors of wildlife. Keep your eyes peeled for elusive creatures like leopards, bush babies, and the magnificent African wildcat. The thrill of spotting animals under the starlit sky while learning from our knowledgeable guides is an unforgettable way to start your Selous adventure.
Day 2: Morning Game Drive and Boat Safari
Rise early the next morning for a hearty breakfast, as we prepare for a day filled with exhilarating wildlife encounters. The first part of your day will be dedicated to a morning game drive. Selous is home to an impressive variety of species, including elephants, lions, giraffes, and countless species of birds. Our expert guides will ensure that you have the best chances of spotting these magnificent animals in their natural habitat.
After a morning of excitement, we will return to the lodge for lunch. Rest and recharge, because the adventure continues in the afternoon with a unique boat safari on the Rufiji River. This experience offers a different perspective on wildlife viewing. Glide down the river and observe hippos wallowing in the sun, crocodiles basking on the riverbanks, and a vibrant array of bird species, such as the African fish eagle and kingfishers.
As the sun begins to set, the landscape transforms into a palette of oranges and purples, creating a magical backdrop. You might even have the chance to witness a herd of elephants crossing the river—a moment that will be etched in your memory forever.
Day 3: Walking Safari and Cultural Encounter
On your third day, you will have the opportunity to experience the African wilderness in a whole new way: on foot. After breakfast, we set out on a guided walking safari. This immersive experience allows you to connect with nature intimately. Feel the crunch of leaves beneath your feet, smell the earthy scents of the forest, and listen to the sounds of the bush as our experienced guides share their knowledge of flora and fauna.
Your walking safari may lead you to discover smaller wildlife that often goes unnoticed from a vehicle, such as insects, reptiles, and various plant species. It’s a chance to learn about the intricate ecosystems that thrive in Selous.
In the afternoon, after a delicious lunch, we will visit a local village. Engage with the friendly community, learn about their way of life, and experience their rich culture firsthand. This cultural encounter is a meaningful addition to your safari experience, allowing you to appreciate the harmony between the local people and their environment.
Day 4: Final Game Drive and Departure
On your final day, we will embark on one last game drive to soak in the breathtaking landscapes and wildlife of Selous. This is your last chance to capture stunning photographs and create lasting memories. Don’t forget to ask your guide for tips on how to spot rare species or unique animal behavior.
After the game drive, we will return to the lodge for a leisurely breakfast. Take a moment to reflect on your adventure and enjoy the beauty surrounding you one last time. Later, we will transfer you back to Dar es Salaam for your onward journey, whether it’s a flight back home or to another exciting destination.
