Engaging safari and great communications.
We had a great experience travelling with Selous Explorer and our guide Ezekiel. This was our first safari and we had a fantastic time. Ezekiel knows Mikumi very well and could tell us a lot about the wildlife we encountered. Asna, our contact person, replied very quickly when we had questions and helped solve all our problems. All in all we had fantastic experience and would strongly recommend travelling with Selous Explorer.

Great trip to Tanzania !
We spent 5 awesome days with Endrick, we could not imagine getting such a nice tour guide for our first safari. We saw a lot of animals, we had time to take the best pictures with the right angle. Amazing experience, thank you very much :)

Very beautiful experience. The guide (chaka boy) always smiling explained us interesting things. I never thought to be so close to these animals so big, wild and feel safe. The place to sleep is very cozy with a very friendly staff. 100% recommendable

Awesome Experience
When I decided to include a safari in my trip to Tanzania, I've started to explore different safari companies. Since I've requested for quotations for 2 nights/3 days, Selous Explorer has promptly reply. Regarding the experience itself, that was amazing. Very organized and rich. Nesto, our guide, knows a lot about animals. You can ask what you want and he'll know the answer. Besides that, we' d opportunity to talk about other topics where we learnt a lot about African culture. In the end, was more than watch wild animals. Was a deep dive in African culture thanks to Nesto.
Regarding the park, I never regreted to have chosen Mikumi. It's less turistic than Sereguenti with a lot of animals as well.
About the accommodation, that was a good surprise. Camp Bastion has good conditions, nice staff and a romantic environment.
The overall rate is 5*!!! Definetly I recommend Selous Explorer and Nesto as guide.

Awesome safari trip!
We was at 5-day safari in the southern national parks of Tanzania: Mikumi and Ruaha with Selous Explorer.
Everything was organized perfectly from the beginning to the end of the trip. Manager Asna quickly and efficiently answered all our many questions via email and chat. All agreements were fulfilled, everything was on time, for Tanzania it is rare)))
Accommodation and transport are in accordance with the declared.
The parks are very beautiful, we saw a lot of animals. Our guide Endrick is a very good driver and an excellent, experienced guide. It was evident that he was interested in seeing as many animals as possible.
I recommend the company - guys responsible, they can be trusted.

An unforgettable trip to the African safari
We spent 5 unforgettable days in a Tanzania safari. Our journey began by arriving in Arusha, where we spent the night at a local hotel and the next morning moved towards Tarangiri Park where we met for the first time in our life with animals in their natural habitat. Many animals - big and kind elephants and small gazelles. We spent the night in Sangaiwe lodge where there is an excellent view of the entire valley and you can watch animals from the comfort of your home. Great food, very tasty, especially in the company of our guide Aaron and other travelers sharing their impressions. After Tarangiri, Manyara Lake followed. Again many animals and birds, beautiful views. In the middle of the day, stop to eat and relax, each hotel prepared us a lunch box, which we ate with pleasure. Everything is organized, convenient, high-class hotels and lodges, spacious rooms, comfortable beds, the company took care of everything. Thank you so much! On the way to the Serengeti, we drove along the top of the Ngorongoro volcano, it was raining, and it was fabulously beautiful in the rain and a terrible road, which our guide and driver did very well. We spent two days in the Serengeti, spent the night in a Wild Africa Camp in the heart of the Serengeti, a wonderful camp, also tasty, comfortable, people are beautiful, smiling and welcoming. A guitar and a bonfire overlooking thunderstorms somewhere on the horizon, rain at night, morning sun. We finished our trip by descent into the crater of the Ngorongoro volcano. It’s just a paradise, which animals are not there! We rested on a lake with hippos, a fabulous place, you can get out of the car and watch the hippos right on the shore.
Many thanks to our guide Aaron, an experienced, caring and patient guy. We observed many animals - elephants, monkeys, wild boars, hippos, lions, gazelles and different types of antelopes, crocodile, chit, even a leopard on a tree, hyenas, buffalos, giraffes, zebras, jackals, flamingos and pelicans.
Our journey ended with a flight to Zanzibar, where the company took care of a beautiful hotel for us, including a transfer.
I would like to note the excellent organization of the whole trip, and special thanks to the organizer Nestor and guide Aaron - wonderful people and specialists in their field who took care that we got the best impressions of our trip.
