Fly from Zanzibar to Nyerere National Park for a private three-day safari with a full-day game drive, bush walk, Mloka village tour, Rufiji River sunset cruise, Maasai culture visit, lodge stay, meals, and return flight.

“From the start, everything was really well organised. Picked up from hotel, easy flight and straight onto the game drive. Our guide, Martin, was excellent and we saw lots of animals. The safari lodge was lovely. We didn't have any issues with electricity and the A/C worked perfectly. I saw other reviews saying they only had power 50% of the time - so I was apprehensive, but there was no need. The meals are set and no choices given, but if you don't eat a particular dish, the staff go out of their way to find an alternative. We were very well looked after. I loved all the other experiences…”

8.2 Days 1 Night Selous GR Safari with Flights

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 3 reviews · 2 days · from $905

Fly from Zanzibar to Nyerere National Park for a full-day game drive, bush lunch, and overnight Banda Bungalow stay. Guides such as Nassiry and Liberia add wildlife and plant knowledge. An optional two-hour Rufiji River boat safari may replace part of the second day.

“Si j’avais pu donner plus d’étoiles à cette activité je l’aurais fait. Le safari était merveilleux, en petit groupe (4) et avec des guides adorables (Nassiry et Liberia) qui nous ont tout expliqué et montré tout ce qu’ils pouvaient. Un réel plaisir. Le lodge est somptueux et en lisière du parc, tellement près qu’il faut être accompagné d’un Massaï une fois la nuit tombée pour notre sécurité et éviter les animaux. Très bonne surprise cependant, le départ ne se fait pas le matin mais l’après midi après une marche dans la brousse avec découverte des plantes médicinales, traditions, et suivi des traces des animaux ainsi qu’un Safari en bateau !!…”
