Two of Tanzania's Greatest Parks in Two Days
This combination safari gives you the best of both worlds — Mikumi National Park's legendary Big Five game drives on Day 1, followed by Selous National Park's (Nyerere) extraordinary boat safari on the Rufiji River on Day 2. Two completely different ecosystems, two different styles of safari, and Africa's wildlife at its most diverse — all from your Zanzibar base. This is the most comprehensive 2-day safari we offer.
Why This Combination Safari Stands Apart
Big Five in Mikumi
Morning game drive in Mikumi — Tanzania's most accessible Big Five park, 45 minutes from Zanzibar by air.
Rufiji River Boat Safari
Float past hippo pods, Nile crocodiles and hundreds of waterbirds on Africa's most spectacular river delta.
Two Different Ecosystems
Savannah floodplain in Mikumi, river delta wilderness in Selous — two completely different Africa experiences.
Optional Walking Safari
Add a guided bush walk with an armed ranger in Selous — the most thrilling way to experience the African bush.
Comfortable Safari Accommodation
Overnight at a quality lodge between the two parks — full board meals, bush atmosphere, real comfort.
Best Value 2-Day Package
Two parks, a boat safari and a game drive — the most wildlife encounters of any 2-day trip we offer.
