(per person, excluding international flights)
Explore the pristine wilderness in Tanzania’s southern Nyerere National Park (formerly Selous Game Reserve). Witness this region’s wildlife including big cats, elephant and rare wild dog by vehicle, boat and on foot. Then take a short flight to Zanzibar. Enjoy the hubub and colour of Stone Town then head to tranquil East Coast for some real beach chillout.
This itinerary focuses on southern Tanzania, an area known for its quieter feel and wildlife rich landscapes. In Nyerere National Park, you can expect to see elephants, giraffe, buffalo and a wide range of plains game, along with predators such as lion and leopard.
Wildlife viewing here feels more spacious and unhurried, which suits travellers who value atmosphere and quality sightings over busy parks.
Selous Impala Camp offers a classic safari experience with a relaxed and authentic feel. Game drives explore varied habitats, from open plains to riverine areas, and are led by experienced guides who focus on understanding wildlife behaviour rather than rushing between sightings.
The camp’s location allows you to return easily between activities, giving time to rest, enjoy the setting and absorb the rhythm of the bush.
This itinerary suits travellers looking for their first safari combined with a calm beach stay, without the scale or intensity of northern circuit routes. It works particularly well for couples, honeymooners and those who prefer a quieter, more personal style of travel.
The pace is considered and reassuring, making it a good fit if you want guidance and comfort without feeling overstructured.
Yes. Nyerere National Park is less visited than some of Tanzania’s better known parks, which means fewer vehicles and a stronger sense of space. Safari days feel immersive rather than busy, with time to enjoy the landscape as well as the wildlife.
This quieter character is one of the reasons we recommend this route.
Safari days are engaging but not physically demanding. Activities are vehicle based, with early starts balanced by relaxed afternoons back at camp. The itinerary is planned to avoid long drives between locations, helping the experience feel comfortable and manageable.
You do not need a high level of fitness to enjoy this safari.
Both Sharazad properties are small scale and thoughtfully run. Expect a relaxed, boutique feel rather than a large resort environment. The focus is on comfort, warm service and a sense of ease, with space to slow down after safari.
The structure provides a strong foundation, but everything can be tailored. We can adjust lodge choices, the balance between safari and beach or the style of accommodation depending on how you like to travel.
Our role is to shape the itinerary around you, using this route as a thoughtful starting point.
