The perfect romantic safari and beach combination... begin your trip with three nights embarking on an ultimate safari in the remote, rugged and wildlife rich Selous Game Reserve, followed by seven nights on the pristine beaches of Zanzibar.


A fantastic option for a romantic safari and beach honeymoon. Safari in style while staying in luxury Azura Selous renowned for its wow factor with plunge pools in every villas and a butler service. The Selous is one of Africa’s greatest game reserves, and with so much wildlife on offer, you are bound to see some great sights on your game drives.

Days 2 - 5 : Selous and Mikumi, Tanzania

Stay at Azura Selous
On arrival into Dar es Salaam, you will have a private transfer to the domestic terminal for your next flight to the Selous which only takes around 45 minutes. The Selous is one of Africa’s greatest game reserves. The park supports a wide variety of wildlife including elephant, lion, leopard, hippo, buffalo, giraffe, crocodile and many antelope and bird species. The Rufiji River flows through the park and the terrain varies from riverine forest and alluvial flood plains with oxbow lagoons, to low mopane forest. On arrival into the Selous, you will be met and transferred to Azura Selous Camp, where you will stay for three nights in a luxury tent, with all meals and game viewing activities included. This camp is really special with a plunge pool in every villa where you can relax under the Africa sun while taking note of the antics of resident hippos in the nearby river. It also boasts fantastic spa treatments and the décor of the camp reflects the colours and moods of the Selous, and as a consequence the lodge really does feel in harmony with its untamed environment. The general day at Azura begins with a morning game activity followed by breakfast, some time to relax at camp, enjoying a delicious lunch and reading or cooling off in the main pool or private plunge pool, before you embark on an afternoon activity of your choice (another game drive or river safari, walking safari or fishing).
