3 Day Safari Selous Game Reserve from Dar es Salaam

Our 3 Days Selous Safari from Dar es Salaam is one of the few short tours that one can take by road (or by air) from the capital city of Tanzania, or from the Spice Island of Zanzibar. ‘Tanzania safaris’ sparks thoughts of an African safari in the most famous parks in the northern Tanzania, the likes of Serengeti, Tarangire and Ngorongoro Crater but these parts are just part of the classical safari in Tanzania. Tanzania however has some of the world’s untouched wilderness areas and most of them are in the Southern Tanzania and western parts of Tanzania. one search place is Selous Game Reserve.

Among these virgin African bushes is The Selous Game Reserve which is also the largest game reserve in Africa. This park is easily accessible by road from Dar es Salaam but also by air from Arusha or Serengeti. We can incorporate Selous Game Reserve into a longer itinerary that includes the usual highlights of a Tanzania Safari or offer a package to only Selous.Selous Game Reserve can be included in a longer safari in Southern Tanzania that also includes a visit to Mikumi National Park, Udzungwa Mountains National Park as well as Ruaha National Park.

Selous Safari – Walking Safari Selous

Apart from enjoying normal safari game drives by car, one unique thing about Selous safari is the ability to go for a walking safari in the Selous Game Reserve. Walking Safari in Selous is a unique way to explore the African wilderness on foot sighting the animals at very close range. Safety comes first so in all our Selous Walking safaris you will be accompanied by an armed ranger.

Boat Safari Selous

Boat safari is another very interesting activity that you can do while on safari in the Selous Game Reserve. If you are driving from Dar es Salaam, doing the boat safari in Selous on the first afternoon is usually one interesting way to start your Selous Safari.

Next time you visit Tanzania and you wish to do a Selous Safari, or visit Selous as part of your longer safari in Tanzania, please ask our experts to include a walking safari as well as a boat safari in your Selous safari.

Other safaris that include the Selous Game REserve safari are our 8 day Southern Tanzania Safari including Mikumi, Ruaha and the incredible Selous Game Reserve.
