Selous Game Reserve
From Dar Es Salaam, the ‘Haven of Peace’, you’ll enjoy a wonderful train journey across evocative African bush to Selous Game Reserve. From your comfortable lodge base enjoy classic game safaris by 4WD, boat and on foot. You’ll search for elephant, rhino, lion, leopard and wild dog in a region that is home to some of Africa’s largest populations of wildlife.

Zanzibar – Spice Island
Wander the narrow maze of alleyways in exotic Stone Town and sense the grandeur of days gone by in this historic trading port, home to the Sultan of Oman. Finally travel to the coast where the warm waters of the Indian Ocean lap white-sand beaches. You can choose to go snorkelling or explore the centre of the island to learn about the many spices that grow here.

Africa’s Secret Reserve
Selous is the largest game reserve in Africa and offers unrivalled wilderness. It is home to large populations of elephant, lion, leopard, buffalo, hippo, crocodile and the elsewhere endangered wild dog and rhino. Despite this, it remains one of the least visited reserves on the continent. Come and discover this unique, personal safari experience for yourself and escape from the crowds. The best time to visit is June to October when you’ll enjoy cool dry weather and the best chance of seeing game as it congregates around the shrinking waterholes.

Selous safari voucher

The Trip

Top Tips

Tsetse flies are attracted to the colours blue and black. For your comfort we advise you to refrain from wearing these colours whilst on safari. Ngorongoro Crater can be cooler than you imagine – sometimes even very cold! Take something warm to wear here and if necessary ask your housemaid for a hot water bottle at night!
