(Please note that the days in the Selous may be switched around so that you spend your first night at the main camp, then two nights fly-camping and then the last night back at the main camp).

This afternoon, transfer to Zanzibar or Dar es Salaam Airport and connect with the flight to the Selous. Upon arrival, you’ll be met by a guide and transferred to the camp to freshen up. The rest of the afternoon will be spent on a game activity within the reserve. Alternatively, you may just stay on a game drive en route from the airstrip, ending in camp as the sun sets.

Day 2         Selous Game Reserve

Morning and afternoon game activities, walking safaris and boat trips. Overnight at Selous Safari Camp on a full board basis plus activities.

After breakfast you’ll depart the fixed camp and head out into the bush on a walking/camping safari for the following two days. The daily routines are fairly similar to that of the fixed camp, however the focus here will be more on the daily walking activity. Please note that days are designed around local game movements and guest’s requirements. Overnight at the fly-camp on a full board basis plus activities.

Fly-camps are always temporary, set up as requested in remote corners of the park. Ideal for two to six guests, the emphasis is on walking and tracking animals through forests, vleis and along the sandy shores of meandering rivers. It’s a magical experience but not for everyone, as tents are simple though comfortable and animals wander around camp at night. There are hot bucket-showers and toilet facilities are ‘long-drop’ style. With all its bush charm, most people find fly-camping a very enriching experience.
