Great game drives with caring guides - Just returned from a fantastic 3 day safari, seeing amazing animals. Our experience was great thanks to our tour guide Hamza and driver Awamu. They were courteous, kind and full of information. They met us at the plane and were there to answer all questions accompanying us all the way right until we departed on day 3! They went the extra mile to find and share with us as much as possible whilst keeping us and the animals safe! Outstanding members of your team we were lucky to meet them. Many thanks Amanda & Pete

Amazing safari in Nyerere - Thanks so much to Hamza and Ali. - Amazing 3 days safari, very well organized ! Our guide Hamza and driver Ali were very kind and gentle. They gave us so much explaination and showed us a lot of ways and places in the national Park of Nyerere (previously Selous). They were very carina with us and took the time for some breaks and let us time to take pictures and enjoying views of animals and landscapes. We highly recommend Hamza and Ali as they were very concerned in the wellbeing of the wildlife as well. They didn't run after animals at any price, they respected comfort zones of animals, and we were able to see a lot of giraffes, elephants, impalas, buffalos, birds, baboons as well as lions, warthogs, kudus, crocodiles and hippos, eagles ... and other smaller animals (mangooses, squirrels, ...) We stopped for lunch and Coffee breaks in amazing places. Everything went perfect Thanks to them. Ali was a super driver, very safe and caring (he prevents us from acacia spines and other branches while driving and drove slow when needed) and Hamza was a super guide that knows very well the park very talkative and in love with nature. There is a very diversified wildlife, that needs to be seen and preserved. 5/5, ideal for couples, friends groups and families.

Magic from start to finish! - Great safari! Our Guide Hamza and our driver Ali form a great team. Together they found us the “Big 5”. It was magical to see them so close.

An extraordinary experience - We spent 2 full days on safari between 4×4 and boat. It was an unforgettable experience with total immersion in wildlife including 2 nights in lodge. Our guides in particular Felix are very attentive both on the supervision, friendliness and on the diligent search for animals. We leave with pictures full head and full camera thanks to him!! Thank you very much!!

Fabulous Safari, Felix (guide) is amazing! - We got fantastic support and service from our guide Felix, he is real expert with huge passion to the nature and animals. He shared many super interesting stories and information, entertaining all family (including our teen-aging daughters 😉). We explored together the park and its neighborhood - the villages and riverside. Felix even joined me for evening runs to make sure I will come back safely what I am extremely thankful for. We fully recommend this amazing Safari.

A flawless stay!! - We spent 2 memorable days with Moussa who introduced us to this magnificent national park: he bent over backwards to show us a maximum of animals, grandiose landscapes and an organization with small onions 🤩. I advise without problems 😜 We were staying at Kinga LODGE where we had a very pleasant time: comfortable rooms, appreciable pool and very good dinners and friendly staff.
