Reviews
Well, not what we expected
We closed our booking a few days earlier with kanut. Talked on the phone and he seemed really nice. First of all the driver- lynus was terrible. He was angry and rude most of the time. On the way to the first park he almost fell asleep on the wheel several times. On the way it started raining and the rain got in to the jeep. When we told him he just got mad and said it's not his fault. The cook that came with him was an 18 years old boy who didn’t knew how to cook anything. On the second day our driver got into a fight with another driver that almost got violent. All and all we enjoyed our safari but not thank to kanut safari but because it was beautiful.

Not good
i tried to book a safari going to Mikumi for a 2 day safari....and expected to get the price that was shown here at safaribookings.....to my suprise they doubled the price to $ 705.....which i did not like at all......which makes me wonder if the pricing here at safaribookings are correct and the right ones

Posted on Oct 22, 2014Hi!We confirm that Ulf have been contact us try to book the 2 days safari to Mikumi.We let him know that we don't have a group that he can join for the date he request and if he just want to do this safari with us he will have to book it as a solo traveler.
The price advertized here at safari booking is per person sharing.This means you have to be more than one person to get that price of $ 350.We tell you all about this and why we have to charge you $ 705 but you didn't want to understand.What I can promise you is that the price advertized on my page at safari booking is very correct and many tourist have been book with this price and some even less than what advertized.
What I can say to Ulf is that tank you very much for you negative review .But please you have to understand that to take some one on a 2 days safari on private for $ 350 its not possible.This is because there is a lot of expenses including Safari car with driver and fuel,Park fees,Meals and Accommodation .This amount of money will not be enough.
And this is why we say if you are 2 people or more doing this safari you can get that price because the total amount will be shared those expenses.
Thank you so much!

Very unprofessional tour
Out safari guide showed up at our hotel with no paperwork or verification who he was. No uniform, no ID. He had to call Kanuth to verify. The vehicle was not in great shape and it appeared his license plates were expired. When ever we stopped at a checkpoint, he took about an hour in each office. All the other drivers showed their paperwork and they were off in 5 minutes. Our vehicle had a dead battery and no Air conditioning. Driver had to get a push start or start on a hill to get going. Very dusty ride. The guide was knowledable about the area and animals though. The guide and the cook did not seem to work well together,, just seemed to be business arrangement.

Lots of animals, some problems
Our guide was knowledgeable and we saw some great wildlife. We did have mechanical issues with the vehicle along with some delays because of permit issues and mechanical problems. The food was very good

Short 3 day Safari to Selous
The Kanuth team were really good in arranging our trip. We gave them our dates and they created a list of activities for us which included pick up/drop off from and to the airport, a boat safari, walking safari and a traditional driving safari which lasted most of the day . We paid a deposit and then paid the rest of the fee on arrival. We went with a cheaper option for accommodation and stayed at HippoCamp just outside of the Game Reserve which was adequate enough and clean... It is very basic but we had a toilet and shower which we didn't expect.
Our chef was great, friendly and cooked some great food! even including great bottle of white wine on our last night. All the staff at HippoCamp were great and very friendly. We managed to see Hippos, Lions, Giraffes, Zebras, Buffalo, Crocs and lots of birds. We sadly missed out on seeing any Elephants Our driver on safari was great and knowledgable in regards to the animals. The boat and walking safari were also very fun and interesting. We would return. Although be aware the drive from Dar Es Saalem takes around 6 hours... It was nice to see the country on the drive but there is also a possibility to fly to Selous which is a 20minute trip but it costs around $150 Per Person.
It was awesome!! Unfortually we didn't see any lions
The walking safari wasn't what we exspectet. The house was awesome! And the food was delicious. It was such a good experions

Selous Game Reserve Safari
We had a great safari with Kanuth Adventure Safaris. The food was absolutely great. On the first safari day we spotted many different animals and the guide Joseph was good to explain about the animals and the wild life. The second day we unfortunately had to help a couple of other cars, which broke down. That was a bit frustrating, because we only had two days of game drive. But we still saw many animals, which was great. Both the boat safari and walking safari were very good with passionated guides. On the safari we drove in a Toyota Land Cruiser with plenty of space and four wheel drive, which was a perfect vehicle for the safari trip.

Incredible experience with Kanuth
It was an incredible experience.
The pick up to in the airport was very good. Tony (driver) and Steve (chef) are very faunny and good boys. always on time, the route was exactlly as described. Only changed our accomodation, we stayed in a lodge not at Hyppo Camp, because of the raining season.
We took 3 safaris (boat - so incredible, car - very long safari, ten hours - and by feet for two hours in the nature descovering baobab and other trees.
The night at the lodge was so incredible quite and wondering, the bed were good. Meal quality very very good, thanks to Steve.
4 and 1/2 stars, not 5 only for the change of accomodation.
