    A fantastic experience

    The tour was amazing! The organisation cannot be faulted there was someone at every step of the way to look after us and take us to the next location and the team were also available to contact via WhatsApp. The hotel and food were good, the staff were lovely and we particularly enjoyed our safari picnic. Most importantly we want to shoutout our fantastic guide J4. He was excellent from start to end. He was extremely knowledgeable and told us lots of interesting facts across the safari, he was super friendly and went out of his way to ensure we saw all our favourite animals! We even got to see a rare sighting of a leopard which was amazing! I would strongly recommend this safari :)

    An Unforgettable Safari – Thank You, Mr. William!

    Our safari exceeded every expectation and was truly one of the most incredible travel experiences we’ve ever had. The landscapes were breathtaking, the wildlife was spectacular, and every day brought something new and unforgettable. The biggest reason this trip was so special was our guide, Mr. William. His knowledge of the animals, their behavior, and the ecosystem was outstanding. He had an incredible ability to spot wildlife that we would never have noticed on our own. Beyond his expertise, Mr. William was professional, patient, friendly, and genuinely passionate about his work. He answered every question with enthusiasm, shared fascinating facts throughout the journey, and made us feel safe and comfortable at all times. Thanks to his dedication, we were fortunate enough to see an incredible variety of animals and create memories that will stay with us forever. If you’re planning a safari, I would recommend this company and especially Mr. William highly enough. He is an exceptional guide who turns a great safari into an unforgettable one. Thank you, Mr. William, for an amazing adventure. We hope to return one day!

    Boat, game drive and bush man walk experience

    After 5 Safaris, I must say this it was quite unique, as it combined a boat trip along the river, a full game drive and a bush man walk. The bus man guided us through the bush and we learnt how to use medicine trees. William, our guide driver took us through the Nyerere park, explaining professionally all about plants, trees and animal behaviour. He search all over till we got to see the animals. He cared about our comfort and joy ,as well as he drove us safe and sound to all destinations. I'd highly recommend William as a guide and driver and the company for their clear communication and collaboration to make it all happen.

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much, belindaa781, for your wonderful review! We’re truly delighted to hear that after five safaris, your experience in Nyerere National Park still felt unique and special. Combining the boat safari along the river, the full game drive, and the bush walk is something we’re very proud to offer, so it’s fantastic to know it stood out for you. It’s great to hear that the bush walk gave you insight into traditional medicinal trees and survival knowledge — such a memorable way to experience the wilderness up close. And we’re especially happy that William made such a positive impression. His dedication, knowledge of plants, trees, and animal behaviour, and commitment to both safety and comfort truly reflect the level of service we aim to provide. Thank you as well for recommending both William and our company. Your kind words about our communication and coordination mean a lot to us. We hope to welcome you back to Tanzania for another unforgettable adventure in the future! 🌿🦒

    3 days safari with our fantastic guide William

    We did a 3 days private safari to Nierere Park with William. Everything was very well organised by kihindo Tours (for instance transport and accomodation, Mloka lodge). Safari was fantastic, we saw so many animals, thanks to our incredible guide (William). He’s been always kind, available for any question and to explain us animals, plants, traditions of Tanzania. Personally speaking, one of the most beautiful experience in life!

    Response from the operator: Dear Federico, Thank you so much for your wonderful review and for choosing Kihindo Tours for your safari to Nyerere National Park. We are happy to hear that everything was well organized and that you enjoyed your stay at Mloka Lodge. A special thank you for your kind words about William, He will be very happy to know he made your safari so memorable.

    3 Days Selous (Nyerere National Park) Safari from Zanzibar & Back: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Zanzibar City.

    How much does 3 Days Selous (Nyerere National Park) Safari from Zanzibar & Back cost?

    +

    Prices start at $900 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Zanzibar City 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 Selous (Nyerere National Park) Safari from Zanzibar & Back 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 Zanzibar City is not rushed.

    Is 3 Days Selous (Nyerere National Park) Safari from Zanzibar & Back worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 88 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 74 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed in Zanzibar City, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule 3 Days Selous (Nyerere National Park) Safari from Zanzibar & Back?

    +

    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 Selous (Nyerere National Park) Safari from Zanzibar & Back 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 Selous (Nyerere National Park) Safari from Zanzibar & Back?

    +

    Around 26 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 Zanzibar City 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 Zanzibar City and add a light layer if any part of the 72-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does 3 Days Selous (Nyerere National Park) Safari from Zanzibar & Back 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 Zanzibar City 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 Zanzibar City?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Zanzibar City experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include 3 Hours Private Stone Town Walking Tour, Stone Town Heritage Walk with local Guide, Zanzibar Adventure Quad with Sunset and Transfer Included. 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 Zanzibar City?

    +

    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 Zanzibar City?

    +

    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.

    What is included in 3 Days Selous (Nyerere National Park) Safari from Zanzibar & Back?
