Our 3 days Selous Game Reserve Safari from Zanzibar Island is one of the most famous short safari tours from Zanzibar. This 3-days safari from Zanzibar to the Selous Game Reserve is one of the few short tours that one can take by road from the capital city of Dar es Salaam after having flown from Zanzibar to Dar es Salaam International Airport and back from Dar to Zanzibar. We include flights from Zanzibar to Dar es Salaam but not the transfer from your hotel to Zanzibar. We can also include the airport transfers at Zanzibar (airport pick up / drop off) if you give us the name of your hotel and location. From the Airport to most beach hotels the transfer costs USD 50 – 70 depending on the location of the beach hotel (2019 -2020 prices). Pick up from Stone town Zanzibar Hotels to the airport costs USD 10 – 15. Please check out our other safari tours that start from Zanzibar Island.
