4 DAYS SAFARI SELOUS GAME RESERVES (NYERERE NATIONAL PARK)
Selous Game Reserve is certainly one of the highlights among Tanzania’s southern national parks. It got a new name recently by the Tanzanian government and is now also known as Nyerere National Park. A highly recommended activity during your trip is the boat safari on the Rufiji River. The river runs through the entire park and it is easy to spot thirsty wildlife that gathers along its shores.
This private safari offers you the flexibility to travel at your own pace, exactly the way you like it. You will have a private safari vehicle and guide. The hotels we selected for you during this 3nights 4days Selous safari are mid-range accommodation. If you prefer more luxury or camping, you can communicate with us.

DAY 2: SELOUS GAME RESERVE / NYERERE NATIONAL PARK
Selous Game Reserve in southern Tanzania is one of the largest game reserves in the world – it is even bigger than Denmark! It has a large number of wildlife such as lions, leopards, hippos, crocodiles, Masai giraffes and many more! With a bit of luck, you can even spot the endangered black rhino or the hard-to-find East African wild dogs. It is a lot quieter here than in the other parks, so you can enjoy a unique and undisturbed safari experience! The Rufiji, that ends in the Indian Ocean, crosses the entire reserve. Around this river there is a swampy area that crocodiles love. The Stiegler Gorge is a special attraction here. This is a gorge 100 meters deep and 100 meters wide. Selous is also one of the few national parks where you can go on a walking safari with an armed ranger. If you prefer this, we can arrange it for you. But also, in the car you can enjoy the landscape to the fullest and spot many animals! You will stay in Hotel at Selous River Camp.
