Tanzania 3 Days Selous Game Reserve Safari
Overview
At the heart of the Selous Game Reserve, Tanzania’s largest river, the Rufiji, forms a complex network of channels, lakes and swamps that create one of the most outstanding ecological systems in East Africa.This river also splits the reserve into two different sections:
The northern Selous covers only around 5% of the reserve’s total area. No hunting is allowed here; this area is dedicated exclusively to photographic safaris. Virtually all of the small exclusive camps which we offer operate in this area.
The southern Selous, south of the Rufiji, is split up into a number of ‘hunting blocks’ – each of which typically covers about 1,000km². Expert Africa doesn’t offer hunting safaris.
Highlights
- Departure with Auric Air return flights from Zanzibar
- Arriving at Selous with afternoon game drive
- Dinner and sleep over at one of the beautiful Selous Lodge/Camps (Selous Kinga Lodge/African Safari Camp)
- Breakfast & Bush Lunch will be served as per itinerary
