48 Located in southern Tanzania, Selous Game Reserve is tucked away. Unlike the more visited national parks of the Masai Mara in Kenya and neighboring Serengeti National Park in Tanzania, Selous feels like a million miles away from the throngs of safari goers. Despite this psychological distance, Selous Game Reserve is surprisingly easy to reach. With just a 45-minute scenic light aircraft flight from the airport at Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, if you land in the morning you can be on a safari as you head to your camp by the mid-morning! This immediacy transports you into imbibing the spirit of the African safari. SAFARI SECRETS Whether you are heading on safari for the first time or have ventured to the African landscape before, you will adore the variety that Selous Game Reserve offers. If you have been put off going on an African safari before because of the idea of bouncing in the back of a safari vehicle for a week with loads of other visitors, then Selous is for you. This is a more authentic and exclusive safari experience as it is off-the-beaten track. Not only is the experience more intimate than most, you can embrace variety with both unique land and water- based safari activities. Every day on safari is different with guided walking safaris, a boat safari and even fishing opportunities. No safari is complete without embracing the sunset and this is an absolute occasion: During your afternoon safari, just as the sun is about to set, stop at a scenic spot to enjoy a tipple, before returning back to camp for stories around the campfire. If you have ever ventured to South Luangwa in Zambia or the Okavango Delta in Botswana then we know you will love Selous as your ultimate East African alternative.
