Wonderful Experience
5/5

I really enjoyed my three day safari in Nyerere with Selous explorer.
Everything went smoothly from the pickup up until the drive back.
We had really nice condition for observing the animals on the Rufiji and inside the National Park.
The riverview lodge is very special and you can observe hippotamus and blue monkeys just while eating breakfast. Buffaloes and elephants come quite near the lodge too.

The comfort there was excellent and I enjoyed the food very much - always very flavourful vegetarian options.
The lodge to sleep is very spacious and and comfortable.

My only criticism is the walking safari. I expected a quiet early morning walk to find animals in the bush and learn about botany. But we got this performance by a “bush man” which honestly made me really uncomfortable. I really hope Tanzanians don’t believe Europeans have this view of rural Tanzanians and want to see this kind of thing (gnawing on tree bark, wearing animal skulls, eating insects, climbing on things etc.). You could tell the actor knew a lot about botany and medicinal usages of the plants. He even told us about accompanying professors to date the Baobabs. That made his act even more confusing to me. Others in the tour seemed to found it entertaining though…

I still enjoyed the safari over all and wish Nestor and his employees all the best!

Professional and organised and offering a good deal
5/5

Did a three days safari at the end of November. It has a wonderful experience! In the first day I arrived from Sar es Salaam and after been greeted by the personnel at the Selous River View Lodge, I went to the boat safari on the Rufiji river. The second day I did a car safari all day long and the last day I did the walking safari and came back to Dar. Everyone has always been professional and the food was really good and the guides were always fun and engaging!

Good communication, reliable, very nice and definitively worth it to book with this operator
5/5

Communication and coordination with Nestor before booking the tour was very easy, no pressure, we had a good feeling, which is important becauae you don't know each other in this phaae. He answered all questions which were important to us prior our booking clearly so that we decided to book with his company. He was picking us in our hotel and we had a safe ride and nice and interesting talks during the ride to the National Park area. The Safari tours we did with his colleagues, mostly with Nickson who was a really nice friendly and funny tour guide with a lot of knowledge and initiative to explain a lot. We appreciate very much his high effort to find elephants for us in the game drive. We had a lot of fun and are so grateful for Nestor, Nickson and all other colleagues involved for giving us an unforgettable Safari experience which was much better than expected.

Also a lot of thanks for the staff at the lodge. The both girls were so kind and friendly, were preparing delicious breakfast, dinner and lunch and made our stay very comfortable. The lodges itself were clean, beds comfortable and very nice atmosphere.

We would definitely recommend with this operator, you will not regret it.

Excellent
5/5

We contacted the company for a last minute safari, booking on Monday for a Wednesday departure. Selous Explorer were highly responsive and communicative which is something I value. The safari was great value for money compared to other companies I had viewed. We really enjoyed the cruise on the river and our guides for the game drive were so helpful and friendly and we saw all the animals we had wanted to see. It was really amazing. The staff in the lodge were attentive and the food was delicious. We enjoyed having breakfast in the mornings with monkeys overhead and hippos visible in the river. I would highly recommend.
