3 Day Selous Game Reserve Safari
5/5

We booked a 3-DaySelous Safari with Kanuth and we had a wonderfull time.
From organizing everything according to our wishes in advance (pick up from hotel, flight from Game Reserve to Zanzibar etc.) to the Safari itself everything was really good.
Our guide Tony was a really nice guy with good knowledge of the wildlife. If we had any wishes he always tried to make it happen.

The Hippo Camp was beautifully located and the cook Joseph was great.

We can only recommend booking a Safari with Kanuth Adventures.

5/5

It was our honeymoon, in the beginning I was skeptical about the idea of doing safari but with Kanuth and his guide Vumi we experienced the best time in our life. From the first day till the last in our 7 days safari we were enjoying every moment in the game drive and the accommodation which really exceeded our expectations. Well done Kanuth and Vumy and thank you so much for adding the joy to our wonderful event and an unforgettable memories.

Amazing adventure for 3 days at Selous Game Reserve
4/5

Communication was perfect, everything went very well and very fast (reservation within one week!)
Hippo Tented Camp is very basic right in the nature, but amazing at the Rufiji River and with a helpful and nice host
Staff from Kanuth Adventures was helpful at all time, and very nice; our cook was great and he offered as perfectly cooked meals!
Safari tours were just awesome, the driver made so much possible for us (driving near to the elephants), nevertheless the car got stuck in wet sand at our drive home to the camp, it was impossible for the driver to get the car out there; what really surprised us was that there had been no appropriate equipment for accidents like that (Kanuth Adventure should really add this equipment and teach their drivers how to use it)
But all in all: ABSOLUTELY AMAZING EXPERIENCE! Thank you so much!!!

Our Safari was a two days ones, and the travel from Dar Es Salaam to the park and back, was amazing.
The expirience at the Park was very good. And the communication with our guide was perfect.

great 5 days in Selous
5/5

I went with Kanuth Adventures to Selous from Dar in December for 5 days. Both our driver/ guide Immanuel and the cook Joseph were very nice and did a great job. We spent the first and the last night in Hippo Camp just outside of Selous Reserve, doing a nice boat tour on the evening of the first and a walking safari on the morning of the last day. The three days in between we spent in Selous, camping at Lake Tagalala (thus staying right in the middle of the reserve and not losing unnecessary time driving in and out). There were not as many animals as you see in the pictures from Serengeti, but I very much enjoyed the experience as we did find lots of animals (lions, elephants, hippos, crocodiles, various monkey, giraffes, water bucks, impalas, warthog, wild dogs (!) ...) but it was really being out in the wild without too many cars around. Food was excellent and Immanuel was a good guide and a safe driver. We had some problems with the car one morning but Kanuth organised a replacement car and a mechanic so that was solved in reasonable time. Great trip at avery reasonable price! Thank you!!!

Game drive very nice, walking and boat should be adapted.
4/5

The game drive was beautiful and as expected (lions, elephants, giraffes etc.). The boat and the walking safari were pretty mediocre - I'd rather do another half-day game drive in the future, instead of walking & boat. Overall solid company though with nice guides. The hippo camp was perfect to stay at for a reasonable price. Best thing: The food was excellent and the beer was cold!

Great Experience with Kanuth
5/5

Myself and my partner travelled with Kanuth on their 3 days/2night safari. The owner Kanuth was very nice a long with his driver/guide Emanuel. We saw all of the animals on our list and they were extremely accommodating to us when we needed to be back in Dar by a certain time. Be ready for a long bumpy drive to the Selous reserve area and the toilet facilities on the drive are not good. But everything in the camp is perfect and exactly what would be expected. We had an amazing trip-thanks all!!

Well organized safari!
4/5

Well organized and planned safari. We had to change our pick up point just before we arrived in Dar es Salaam but that was no problem. The contact with Kanuth and his staff worked all the time.
Living at Hippo camp was a small adventure with monkeys jumping on our cabin roof and waking us up in the morning! The staff at hippo camp was nice and our cook made great food. Unfortunately we didn't see any wild dogs at Selous but one of the best things we saw was a big family of elephants crossing the river.

3days/2Night Selous Game Reserve
5/5

Great value for money, good combination of boat, 4x4 and walking safari. Although there were only the two of us, we had two people accompany us, one as a driver and guide, and the other as a cook. Other staff came to our hotel as well, just to greet us!
We had a very kind and great driver/guide, Emanuel, who not only taught us a lot about the safari, but also about Tanzania in general. Always smiling. Our cook, Joseph was also good. We had great fun, and we really thank the two as well as Kanuth Adventure Safaris!
We can really recommend them!

3 Days in Selous Game Reserve
5/5

Amazing experience that went beyond all expectations!!
Everything went smooth and we enjoy every moments, the driver and cook (Tony and Joseph) were really friendly and professionals and did their best to make sure we had the best experience.
The Hippo camp was also great with friendly manager and staff and superb views of the river.
Kanuth was always quick to respond, friendly and was checking on us to make sure that we were happy.
He also booked the ferry tickets for us to Zanzibar and one hotel night in Stone Town to help us out.
The boat safari was cool and the game drive was just amazing, we saw all animals that is possible to see in Selous and lots of them!! including hyenas and wild dogs!
Not so sure on the walking safari though.. would have preferred a half day game drive instead.
To sum it up, this company has feel of a small family run business which deal with his customers on a personal level and care about them. Now I am already thinking to visit Tanzania again for another safari adventure...
