After a warm welcome at your lodge, take some time to unwind and refresh. Enjoy the breathtaking views and perhaps indulge in a refreshing drink as you listen to the sounds of nature all around you. Your lodge is more than just a place to stay—it’s a gateway to adventure!
As the sun sets, we’ll embark on our very first game drive, a magical experience that unveils the beauty of Selous under the golden hues of dusk. Spot elephants, lions, and a myriad of other wildlife as they come alive during this enchanting time. With the guidance of our experienced rangers, you’ll witness the intricate interactions of animals in their natural habitat, which is nothing short of mesmerizing.
After an exciting evening, we’ll return to the lodge for a delicious dinner, where local flavors meet international cuisine.

With your heart full of adventure, you’ll drift into a peaceful slumber, dreaming of the adventures that await you.
Day two kicks off with an early breakfast to fuel your day of exploration. We’ll head out for a full-day game drive, where the thrill of spotting wildlife continues! Selous is known for its incredible biodiversity, and you’ll have the chance to witness iconic African animals in their natural habitat.
Get ready to see groups of elephants marching gracefully, packs of wild dogs in their playful antics, and the king of the jungle—majestic lions lounging in the sun. Our expert guides will ensure that you don’t miss any of the exhilarating encounters, while sharing fascinating insights about the ecology and conservation efforts in the reserve.
As midday approaches, we’ll pause for a scenic picnic lunch amidst the beauty of nature. Enjoy a delightful meal surrounded by the sounds of chirping birds and rustling leaves—an experience that brings you closer to the heart of the wilderness.
After lunch, we’ll embark on an exciting boat safari along the Rufiji River. This serene adventure offers a different perspective on the wildlife. Watch hippos basking in the sun, crocodiles lounging on riverbanks, and an array of colorful birds flitting about. The boat safari is an excellent opportunity to capture stunning photographs and create lasting memories.
After a full day of adventure, we’ll return to the lodge where you can unwind, perhaps with a refreshing dip in the pool or a peaceful moment on your private balcony. The evening concludes with a sumptuous dinner, where you can share stories and laughter with your fellow travelers.
Day three offers a unique experience away from the vehicle as we embark on a guiding nature walk. Accompanied by experienced rangers, you’ll trek through the bush, learning about flora and fauna, animal tracks, and the delicate balance of the ecosystem. This immersive experience allows you to connect with nature on a deeper level, and you may even spot some smaller wildlife that often goes unnoticed from the vehicle!
In the afternoon, we’ll visit a nearby village to immerse ourselves in the local culture. Meet friendly locals, learn about their traditional ways of life, and experience a warm Tanzanian welcome. This cultural exchange not only enriches your understanding of the region but also supports local communities.
As the sun sets once again, we’ll venture out for an evening game drive. This is a perfect opportunity to spot nocturnal creatures that come alive after dark, with the possibility of seeing leopards on the prowl! The thrill of the hunt in the night adds a layer of excitement to our safari adventure.
Return to the lodge for another delightful dinner. Gather around a cozy campfire, where you can share your favorite safari moments and listen to stories from your guides about their own experiences in the wilderness. Uniting under the stars, you’ll create bonds with your fellow travelers that will last a lifetime.
As our safari draws to a close, we’ll rise early for a final game drive at sunrise. Witness the beauty of the African dawn as the landscape comes alive in a tapestry of colors. This is a wonderful opportunity for last-minute wildlife sightings and an emotional farewell to the breathtaking Selous Game Reserve.
After breakfast, it’s time to bid farewell to the wilderness.
