Discover the Wonders of Selous Game Reserve - 4 Days

By Wildtrip Safaris
What is Travellers’ Choice?
Tripadvisor gives a Travellers’ Choice award to accommodations, attractions and restaurants that consistently earn great reviews from travellers and are ranked within the top 10% of properties on Tripadvisor.
Selous Game Reserve is one of the largest reserves in the world with a huge elephant population. It was named after Englishman Sir Frederick Selous, a famous big game hunter and early conservationist, who died here in 1917 fighting against the Germans. Selous safaris have the added bonuses of guided bush walks and boat safaris, as well as 4x4-based game-viewing, providing a more divers experience than safaris in other reserves. Good chances of seeing Wild Dogs here, and birdlife is prolific.

          Safari ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
          We had the best experience ever. We've never gotten so much energy from a trip. Our guide (Khalifa) and driver (Ramada) were the perfect people to do this tour with!

          Great city tour
          Terrific walking tour with Derick from Guruwalks. His knowledge of Tanzania's and Dar es Salaam's history is extensive . His English is also fluent and excellent. He took us to some out of the way places we'd never find by ourselves. (Also, thanks for the fish snack, Derick!) I thoroughly recommend his interesting tour.

          Great park park, great tour, and great guide! Highly recommended
          Our trip was excellent in every way. Khalifa went out of his way to ensure that my 75-year old mom was taken care of and that we got the most out of our trip. He helped us take videos and pictures, and was able to find all the big animals in the park. I was impressed with his knowledge of the park. I highly recommend the tour and Khalifa in particular. Super trustworthy and friendly.

          Incredible tour with unexpected impressions
          Despite our flight delay, the pickup worked perfectly. Don't be put off by the rather long journey, thanks to the good conversation provided by our driver, we learned a lot about the country and its people and the time wasn't boring. We saw a lot of wildlife outside of Mikumi Park. The perfect support and explanation by Peter was already an experience on the way. On the rides in Mikumi Park we saw more animals than we ever dreamed of. The species were explained in perfect English and also the accommodation and food made these 2 days an unforgettable experience. This safari is highly recommended

          Amazing experience
          The whole trip was very well organized and went very smoothly. We were going to be picked up at our hotel at 7am, but due to a lot of traffic the original driver was delayed a lot. However Khalifa was quick to arrange for another driver to come pick us up instead, which was very good. The safari itself was a wonderful and unique experience, which neither of us have ever experienced before. Patrick was an amazing guide. Easy to talk to, and with great knowledge of both the animals and the history of Mikumi National park. We got to see everything the park had to offer most of which we got to see up close, except leopard, and we had a wonderful time!

          Zanzibar to Mikumi day safari
          Staying in Zanzibar and wanted to do a day safari to the mainland. Hotel had suggested Selous Park but apparently not so many animals. Booked this after looking and finding on Tripadvisor. Super responsive on WhatsApp and all booked in less than 24 hrs. Fun 45min flight right from Zanzibar at 0630 into the bush then straight onto great game viewing trucks (max 6 people) and were seeing lions within 15 mins. Lovely guide and driver. Saw all the animals we wanted to - 5 prides of lions, elephants, giraffe, hippo, crocs, wilderbeast lots of birds and smaller animals across beautiful savannah in a well managed park with decent tracks . Nice lunch. Couldn’t fault it. Highly recommended.

          Out of the way, but get to see alot of animals
          Quite a drive from dar es salaam...5 hours minimum...but got to see a pride of lions up close. Was not crazy about the food (dont particularly like goat) and of course do not ask for ice. The beds and pillows were like sleeping on concrete, but the room and the bathroom were huge.

          Great Experience
          This was my first time visiting Tanzania, and this was a great safari. Khalifa did a great job arranging everything even when we had a delay due to a VIP convoy leaving Dar es Salaam. I recommend the 2 day safari, and staying the night in the park since mornings and evenings are the best time to see lots of animals! We had Silas as our Driver-Guide. He did a wonderful job! He went out of his way to make sure we were comfortable and had a good time!! He knew the best places to go to see the most animals!! I would recommend this safari it was a great experience!!

          Safari to remember for life
          From the first contact with Khalifa everything went very smoothly. He adjusted the tour for us and they dropped us off at the airport on the 2nd day. We had amazing private tour for 2 days with Patrick who is an absolute legend. Very funny guy and very knowledgeable. You can't be board with him. Accommodation was amazing and the food as well. I would especially like to mention our driver from and to Dar. Never had a better experience. So professional and such a nice guy. Could not recommend more these guys. A million star experience!

        We were originally apprehensive as all our trips we arrange direct with each hotel/airline/guide etc

        Ones did a great job listening to what we wanted and communicating along the way

        The trip went to plan and we were very happy
