Day Trip to Selous National Park from Zanzibar or Dar es salaam

About this experience

Selous is Africa’s largest and oldest game reserve. It is one of its most scenic wildlife destinations; the Selous is utterly beautiful. The beauty of the park is matched by the quality of a safari here; boating, walking and fly camping compliment standard game driving in thriving wildlife areas. This is an outrageously good safari park and an essential component of any southern circuit itinerary. The park has a variety of vegetation zones, ranging from dense thickets to open wooded grassland.
