it’s a 10 out of 10!

5/5

We spent three nights at Selous Kinga Lodge as part of a four-day safari, and it was truly an unforgettable experience—not only because of the stunning beauty of Nyerere National Park and the safari itself, but also thanks to the warm and caring service provided by the lodge.

We travelled from Dar es Salaam by car and returned by plane. After experiencing both options, we definitely recommend flying rather than driving in either direction. Flying is far more comfortable and saves a lot of time and energy, even if it comes at a higher cost.

My girlfriend and I felt incredibly comfortable at Selous Kinga Lodge. The lodge is nestled in nature, surrounded by monkeys (who don’t disturb you) and other wildlife. If you’re lucky, you may even see elephants passing nearby. Just imagine relaxing at your lodge and suddenly spotting these magnificent animals—it’s simply magical.

The food was perfect. My girlfriend is vegan, and she was really happy with the delicious and thoughtful plant-based options offered by the lodge.

A special thank you goes to our guides, Nick and Maliki, who accompanied us throughout all the safaris. They were knowledgeable, kind, and truly passionate about the park and its wildlife. The entire safari was conducted safely and respectfully, without disturbing the animals—we especially appreciated their choice not to get too close to them.

For us, it’s a 10 out of 10! We highly recommend Selous Kinga Lodge and will definitely return!

Absolutely amazing experience!

5/5

We cannot recommend the Selous Kinga Lodge enough! We booked the 4 day/3 night visit and everything was experience. They arranged everything perfectly, from the cab to the Zanzibar airport, to the flights, transportation, Game drive ... everything!

We were lucky to have been paired with Nixon as a Guide and Mathias as the driver for the majority of the stay and they were incredible! The way they knew the Game Reserve like the back of their hand, and took us off in areas where we didn't see other vehicles, but saw so much wildlife! Mathias was constantly on his radio, knowing where to take us to ensure we saw as much as we could! As we were ending our second game drive he asked me what I wanted to see more of and I said a Male Lion. Within minutes he brought us to a location where we were able to see an entire group of lions, including a male.

We did the hot springs (gorgeous!), boat safari (the island was relaxing and beautiful), the village tour (really resonated with us), and the Maasai Boma.

Additionally, back at the Lodge the accommodations were wonderful. The staff was so accommodating, ensuring the best service we could have imagined. The pool was refreshing, and our little bungalow was inviting and comfortable! What I do need to call out is the food!! Every meal was so delicious and we certainly never went hungry. We looked forward to each meal and seeing what the talented chef prepared. At night, when we would be ready to head from the main lodge to our bungalow, the staff guided us back.

Ezekiel, the manager of the lodge was so kind and ensured every detail was taken care of! It was so relaxing to know they had every last detail accounted for and we could just enjoy the experience!

We look forward to a return visit in the future when our son is old enough to come along and experience this amazing place!

Above and beyond service

5/5

We had an issue arriving in Tanzania with another tour company and had been left stranded at the airport. We made contact with Selous Kinga and their team went above and beyond to resolve and ensure we had a fantastic stay. All the team were so helpful and friendly and keen to ensure we had an amazing trip ….which we did. Nothing was too much trouble. The game drives were awesome, our driver Molee, guide Nixon and support team Saleh and Jackson were outstanding.
What srarted as a stressful experience at the airport ended up being a wonderful experience that we will treasure forever and we feel we made new friends. We hope to return in the future.
