Unforgettable and Enchanting - We had the pleasure of being hosted by Gecko Adventure Tanzania for a magical three days in Selous. We flew directly to Selous from Zanzibar and were met by Zacharia who was our guide. His extensive knowledge of the park, its animals and beautiful locations enriched the trip very much, as he knew exactly where to take us. With him there was never a dull moment, he also made great conversation as he told his stories, some so funny that we could not help laughing. We saw numerous animals, including all the big 5 if you replace seeing the rhino with hippos, lots of zebras, giraffes, huge buffalo herds, a rare sighting of wild dogs, elands and gnus. I was struck by the size of the elephant herds in Selous. There was one herd that had over a seventy elephants!! Zacharia was quite flexible took our needs seriously. Every morning he made sure that we he understood what we wanted and did not stop until we got it. His passion and dedication made our experience special.

Great Safari Trip! - Had a wonderful trip to Selous after holidaying in Zanzibar with Gecko Adventure Tanzania. We had a game drive where we saw elephants, lions, wild dogs, hyenas, gnus, giraffes and zebras among many other animals. The highlight of the trip was the boat safari along River Rufiji. It was so enchanting seeing elephant herds, hippos, water birds from the boat as we glided along the river. I highly recommend visiting Selous and going with a great guide like Otto from Gecko Adventure Tanzania.
