Are you ready for an unforgettable adventure in the heart of Tanzania? Join us at Safari Multiways as we take you on a thrilling 3-day safari itinerary through the majestic Selous Game Reserve! Nestled in the southern part of Tanzania, Selous is one of the largest game reserves in Africa and a UNESCO World Heritage site. With its breathtaking landscapes, rich biodiversity, and extraordinary wildlife experiences, Selous promises an adventure like no other.

Day 1: Arrival and Game Drive

Morning: Arrival and Welcome

Your journey begins as you arrive in Dar es Salaam, the bustling capital city of Tanzania. Our friendly Safari Multiways team will welcome you with open arms, ready to whisk you away to the enchanting Selous Game Reserve. After a scenic drive through lush landscapes, you’ll arrive at the reserve, where the adventure truly begins.

Afternoon: Orientation and First Game Drive

After checking into your comfortable lodge or tented camp, you will have a brief orientation about the Selous Game Reserve and what to expect during your safari. With our experienced guides leading the way, it’s time to hop into an open safari vehicle for your very first game drive!

As you traverse the park’s winding trails, keep your eyes peeled for the incredible wildlife that calls Selous home. You might spot majestic elephants, playful giraffes, and even elusive predators like lions and leopards! The thrill of encountering these magnificent creatures in their natural habitat is simply exhilarating.

Evening: Sundowner Experience

As the sun begins to dip below the horizon, creating a golden hue across the savannah, we’ll take a moment to enjoy a sundowner, a refreshing drink while soaking in the beauty of the African sunset. This is a perfect time to reflect on the day’s experiences and capture stunning photographs with your fellow travelers.

Afterward, head back to your lodge for a delicious dinner prepared with local flavors, then retire for the night under a blanket of stars. Get ready for another exciting day ahead!


Day 2: Exploring Selous – Boat Safari and Walking Safari

Morning: Boat Safari on the Rufiji River

Rise and shine! Today promises an exhilarating experience as you embark on a boat safari along the Rufiji River. Glide through the tranquil waters while surrounded by breathtaking scenery. This unique perspective allows you to get up close to crocodiles basking on the riverbanks, pods of hippos, and a multitude of bird species.

The Rufiji River is teeming with life, and you’ll have a chance to see elephants coming down to drink from the river, making for incredible photo opportunities. Our knowledgeable guides will share fascinating facts about the ecosystem, ensuring you leave with a deeper understanding of the rich biodiversity that thrives in Selous.

Afternoon: Walking Safari – A Different Perspective on Wildlife

After your boat safari, you’ll return to camp for a hearty lunch. Then get ready for an exhilarating walking safari! This is a unique opportunity to experience the African bush on foot, allowing you to connect with nature in a way that’s simply not possible from a vehicle. Your expert guide will lead the way, sharing insights about the flora and fauna, animal tracks, and the intricate relationships within the ecosystem.

Feel the thrill of spotting wildlife up close, from vibrant birds flitting through the trees to the subtle signs of larger animals nearby. Walking safaris are a fantastic way to appreciate the beauty of Selous while sharpening your observational skills.

Evening: Night Game Drive

As the sun sets and the stars begin to twinkle, gear up for a night game drive! This is an exhilarating experience, as many animals are more active at night. With spotlights shining in the darkness, you’ll have the chance to see nocturnal creatures like bushbabies, serval cats, and even the elusive leopard.

Capping off your day with a night game drive is the perfect way to witness the magic of the African bush after dark. Return to your lodge for a well-deserved dinner and share stories about the day’s adventures with your fellow travelers.


Day 3: Cultural Experience and Departure

Morning: Cultural Visit to a Local Village

On your final day, after breakfast, we’ll arrange a visit to a nearby local village where you can immerse yourself in the vibrant culture of the Tanzanian people. Engage with the locals, learn about their traditions, and witness daily life in the village. This experience enriches your safari by providing a deeper understanding of the local communities and their connection to the land.

Afternoon: Last Game Drive and Departure

After lunch, it’s time for one last game drive to soak in the beauty of Selous. Take a moment to reflect on the incredible wildlife encounters and stunning landscapes you’ve experienced during your time in the reserve. Capture those final photographs and create lasting memories that you’ll cherish forever.

As your safari comes to a close, we’ll head back to Dar es Salaam, where you’ll have the chance to reminisce about your adventures and discuss your favorite moments with your fellow safari-goers.
