Good value Safari with very experienced and friendly staff
We went on a three day Safari to Nyerere NP from Daramsalam. The organization and communication was very suitable and individual, answers came very quick, we could bring in our ideas. Driving to the NP was smooth and comfortable in a well kept Safari jeep with a very prudent driver and guide. The lodge was very well kept with outstanding food and friendly staff there, quiet and clean. On the Safari we saw a lot of animals, the guide worked again according to our interests and ideas, found the best spots for us. The value for money was excellent, others are more expensive for lesser value. I can absolutely recommend Pangolin Safaris, thank you Mansoor for three great days out there, everything worked out very well! Thomas

!!Unforgettable experience!!
We had the chance to spend an incredible week exploring some of Tanzania’s southern national parks: Mikumi, Ruaha, and Nyerere. Our trip was truly memorable, largely thanks to African Pangolin Safaris and especially our guide and driver, Yunus. Right from the start, Yunus made us feel welcome and safe, he was a skilled driver and had an impressive knowledge of Tanzania’s wildlife. While Mikumi, Ruaha, and Nyerere National Parks in southern Tanzania may not be as well-known as the northern parks like Serengeti and Ngorongoro, the benefits of fewer tourists and abundant wildlife make these parks an excellent choice. We strongly recommend booking with this African Pangolin Safaris!!
Response from the operator: Thank you Adrian for choosing African Pangolin Safaris for your safari in Tanzania. Thank you for taking your time to write review for our company. Really appreciate. Welcome again for the next destination in Tanzania. Karibu tena!

3 Days Safari to Nyerere National Park (Selous Game Reserve): questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Dar es Salaam.
How much does 3 Days Safari to Nyerere National Park (Selous Game Reserve) cost?
+
Prices start at $1,155 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Dar es Salaam usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does 3 Days Safari to Nyerere National Park (Selous Game Reserve) take?
+
Plan for about 72 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Dar es Salaam is not rushed.
Is 3 Days Safari to Nyerere National Park (Selous Game Reserve) worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 69 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 13 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Dar es Salaam, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 3 Days Safari to Nyerere National Park (Selous Game Reserve)?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is 3 Days Safari to Nyerere National Park (Selous Game Reserve) suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 72-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 3 Days Safari to Nyerere National Park (Selous Game Reserve)?
+
Around 5 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Dar es Salaam can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Dar es Salaam and add a light layer if any part of the 72-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 3 Days Safari to Nyerere National Park (Selous Game Reserve) start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Dar es Salaam within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Dar es Salaam?
+
On Outty we rank every Dar es Salaam experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include 2 nights 3 days safari to mikumi national park, 1-Day Mikumi National Park Fly-In Safari from Zanzibar, 3 Days Safari to Mikumi NP - Accommodation Inside the Park. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Dar es Salaam?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Dar es Salaam?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
