Safari

Nyerere (Selous) Safari — 4 Days

Boat safaris on the Rufiji, walking, and hardly another vehicle.

Four days in Africa's largest national park, an easy flight from Dar es Salaam or Zanzibar. The draw is what the northern parks cannot offer: game viewing from a boat, walking safaris, and space.

Highlights

  • Boat safari on the Rufiji River
  • Guided walking safari
  • Wild dogs, if you are lucky
  • Very few other vehicles

Questions about this trip

Can I combine this with Zanzibar?

Easily — it is a short hop between the two, which is why the south pairs so well with the coast.
