Escape the white-sand beaches of Zanzibar for an unforgettable adventure in one of Africa’s largest and most untouched wildlife sanctuaries — Nyerere National Park (formerly Selous Game Reserve). This short but immersive safari begins with a scenic flight from Zanzibar to the heart of the bush, where your safari guide awaits at Kiba Airstrip. As you drive toward the luxurious Serena Mivumo River Lodge, your first game drive sets the tone for what’s to come — raw, untamed wilderness and unforgettable wildlife encounters.
After a warm welcome and a delicious lunch at the lodge, your afternoon is filled with excitement and choice. You may opt for a thrilling boat safari along the Rufiji River, drifting silently past hippos and crocodiles, or head out on a Classic Game Drive in search of elephants, lions, wild dogs, and more. Back at the lodge, a candlelit dinner under the African sky rounds off a perfect day, with the sounds of the wild lulling you to sleep.

Frequently asked questions
What is the best time to go on a Tanzania safari?
The dry season, from June to October, is ideal for safaris due to excellent wildlife viewing. This period offers clear skies and easy game spotting. The Great Migration occurs in the Serengeti during this time, making it one of the most popular and rewarding seasons for safari enthusiasts.
Which national parks should I visit in Tanzania?
Top parks include the Serengeti for the Great Migration, Ngorongoro Crater for Big Five sightings, Tarangire for elephants and baobabs, and Selous or Ruaha for off-the-beaten-path experiences. Each park offers unique landscapes and wildlife encounters, allowing travellers to experience Tanzania’s rich biodiversity and iconic safari moments.
How long should a Tanzania safari be?
A typical safari lasts 5 to 10 days, depending on how many parks you wish to visit. Shorter trips are great for focused experiences, while longer itineraries allow for deeper exploration. Adding a Zanzibar beach extension is popular for relaxation after the wildlife adventure.
What animals can I see on a Tanzania safari?
Tanzania is home to the Big Five — lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, and rhino — plus cheetahs, giraffes, zebras, hippos, wildebeests, and hundreds of bird species. The Serengeti also hosts the Great Migration, where millions of wildebeest and zebras cross the plains in search of fresh grazing.
Are Tanzania safaris suitable for families or kids?
Yes, many lodges offer family-friendly options and activities for children. Some camps provide junior ranger programs, nature walks, and flexible game drives. Always check age restrictions for certain parks or lodges. A family safari can be an educational, exciting, and unforgettable bonding experience for kids and parents alike.
What should I pack for a Tanzania safari?
Pack lightweight, neutral-colored clothing, a hat, sunglasses, sunscreen, and comfortable walking shoes. Don’t forget binoculars, a camera, insect repellent, and any required medications. Mornings can be chilly, so include a light jacket. Most lodges offer laundry services, allowing you to pack light while staying comfortable throughout your safari.
