What a wonderful experience - Decided to book this day trip whilst in Zanzibar. It was a quick easy booking process, with all our questions being answered before we left. The hotel made sure that we received our tickets as well as our transfer to the airport. It was an early start but SO worth it. We saw so many animals -crocs, warthog, elephant, hippo, giraffe, lions and tons of buck and bird. The lunch in the bush was absolutely delicious – we were expecting a snack box but it’s a proper meal served up in the bush. We flew back to Zanzibar in the afternoon and our transfer was waiting to meet us. Very well organised and so worth it.

1-day Safari tour to Selous/Nyerere from Zanzibar - We were a Group of 6 people from Sweden and took this 1-day Safari to Selous/Nyerere from Zanzibar. This tour had the best price and was professionally organized. It was our first Safari experience so we had a lot of questions before we went on the tour. All questions were answered easily via WhatsApp (Reheme, working for the company, very friendly and professional help with all the questions we had)we got correct information and a lot of tips what to think about and expect prior the tour Everything went smooth and we felt safe and all details were taken care of, we did not have to care about anything, just enjoyed the amazing experience. 1. Pickup by taxi in the morning at 4AM, on time, transfer to airport 2. The taxi driver follows you to the airport meeting the group, where people from the company wait for you and guide you to right gate for the flight to Mtemere/Selous airstrip 3. Flight to Safari (Selous) approx 30 minutes 4. At landing you are met by people from the company (your Safari tour guide for the day) with your name and follow you to the right Safari car (private, only your group in the car) 5 Around 7AM starts the Safari (free cold bottled water in the cars, we received even cold beers in our car) 6 Our driver, Chars and the other crew member were very friendly and polite. Really nice people working hard to give you the best possible experience, driving all over the place to see as many animals as possible. They managed to spot a lot of animals for us: Elephants, Lions, Hyppos, Buffaloes, Giraffes, Zebras, Gnus, Baboons, Crocodiles, Impalas, a lot of different exotic birds and many more. 7 Coffee/Tea break around 10 AM with delicious bagels (something like a bagel) after that the Safari continues, lunch around 1 PM and more Safari, then back to the airport/airstrip around 4:30-5:30 PM for the flight back to Zanzibar (30 minutes flight) 8At the airport in Zanzibar the taxi driver waits for you and drops you at your hotel. Everything is taken care of, we had only to lean back and enjoy the ride. Fantastic experience! Truly amazing!! Wow!!! Please note that this people are working very hard to give you the best possible experience, but they can not guarantee that you can spot every animal you have on your list, it depends on a lot of factors what you can see during your trip. Mother Nature has her own rules and every Safari experience is different. Every Safari tour is unique. The trip was a Once-In-A-Lifetime experience for us, and the crew did its best and even more than that to satisfy us. They succeeded with their mission to 110% Highly recommend this Safari trip with this Company! I would not hesitate to book it again if back in Tanzania!

Best Driver Ever - This was my first Safari and it was Everything I imagined it to be. My guide Mathis was the Best. He was professional, knowledgeable and the Best Dan driver I ever seen. It was a very rainy day and it did not shy away from driving us through every inch water, mud, impossible roads to make sure we could witness the Big 5 and find every animal there was to see. The lunch picnic in the bush was extremely good I thought maybe a bag lunch it was a hot meal prepared by an excellent cook on a picnic table with fruit and plates. Thank you Mathis.
