Amazing experience!
We had a wonderful time with Selous Explorer. Communication was quick and efficient. The Hippo Camp we stayed at was right by the river and was even better than what we imagined and the guides and staff were all extremely friendly and helpful. There was a ton of delicious food 3x a day (it was more than necessary!) and the safaris itself were more than satisfying. Would definitely recommend it!

Definitely recommend
Everything was great. I am thankful to those who reviewed this previously on this website because it convinced me to do it. I did the 3 day trip to Selous, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Worth every penny.

Unforgettable Safari - Can't wait to come back
A group of three of us went on a four day tour to Serengeti and Ngorongoro with Nestor! He was incredibly accommodating with our tight travel schedule and went above and beyond to help us have the best possible park experience. Communication was easy via Whatsapp, and we were able to process payment online prior to the trip as well. We booked relatively last minute (3-4 days prior to departure).
In terms of the tour, we spent two full days/nights in Serengeti and one full day/night in Ngorongoro Crater. The vehicle was very comfortable and with just three of us we had plenty of space to sit or stand unimpeded. Safety came first, and Nestor was very respectful of the animals with his driving. Nestor and our chef Com were fun to chat with, very knowledgable, and obviously enjoy their jobs. Camping was made easy as they set up and struck down camp with each move. The meals were filling and delicious - we were never hungry! We especially enjoyed hot breakfasts each morning and delicious soups to start dinner in the evenings.
Over the course of the trip we saw between 45 and 50 big cats including lions with cubs, cheetahs, and a leopard! Nestor had a canny sense for where to find the wildlife. We made it into Ngorongoro crater early on our last day and were treated with a nearby encounter with a rhino. The elephants, giraffes, and seeing the Great Migration were big highlights as well.
Overall I highly recommend taking a tour with this company. After speaking with others who went on safari the same weekend as we did, it seemed like we saw the most of anyone. I will be providing this contact information to my friends and family and hope to return myself someday!

Great experience, the best service!
Maybe they dont have many reviews in the internet but they really exists! (we were afraid of it;)) check their # on the instagram! We were on 3 days safari in Mikumi NP and stayed in camp bastian which has pool and beautiful garden. The food was great, you can choose from few options of dishes. Very clean cottages. Everything was perfect organized, we started and finished in ferry terminal in dar es salam. we don’t need to looking for Asna, she found us;) Our guide Endrick was very nice and knew every animal we spot. And he has also good eye to find animals which was far far away. He knows when to ride and when to stop and give us time to feel the atmosphere of the place. Don’t hesitate if you want to go with them, you got more than you think you paid for;)

Great
First, we were worry regarding the price and what we will get, and then we were more than satisfy about it. Asna is a great organisator and reliable, she answered quickly to all my request. She welcomed us in person. Juma the driver from the taxi was great, and Endrick our guide for the safari is a great guide, really compétent and friendly. The lodge is fantastic, view on the river, with the hippo at few meter. Our private chef, Rachidi make us great meal, Wine and water included and the lunch box was really good.
I recommand to all, it's a great value regarding the price of it, it's defenatly worth it and the team is more than friendly and professional. Thanks all

Very professionally and customer friendly Service. Amazing experience!
Hello,
we were lucky to book a 3 day Mikumi park safari with a Endric as a Guide. We were picked up from the airport , much earlier as it was written in the offer, because our plane came in the night. With no extra charge for it. From the very beginning and every day we were surprised about the high quality of service and the punctuality which we did not expect to have in Africa. The accommodation was very clean and comfortable. we lived in the cottage, the whole house with separated bath (hot water) and toilet , terrace only for us). Endric , our guide, is a very professional and responsible guide, who treat the nature with a big respect. He loves his job and it was a big big please to have him. He speaks good english and could share with us his knowledge about the animal world. Firstly, in our travel life, somebody tried to make our tour and every hour of it the best one. Moreover, Endric is not only a professional guide (He spotted some animals from the distance, even when we came closer we could not see anything firstly, every time it was our admiring of his skills!), nice person, he was even like a friend for us in that 3 days. He knew when to explain us something and when to let us space for our own conversation or just calm for enjoying. You know, sometimes guides are talking with no stop, that you have a had ache at the end of the day. With Endric it was extremely good balanced.
We have nothing to complain at all, we would like only to wish everything the best to Selous Explorer Company and especially Endric (BIG THANKS for everything). It was amazing. Nothing could be better. We warmly recommend this tour.
Dreams come true!!!
Best regards,
Kateryna & Vladi

Amazing 3-day safari in the Selous Game Reserve
We had an amazing experience with Selous Explorer, more specifically with our guide Nestor and our cooker Rashidi. Thank Asna for answering my emails because there were many . Everything was perfect, Nestor is a master in finding animals (we even saw a leopard !) and Rashidi cooks really delicious meals. The car is comfortable, there is always cold water during the activities and the team is very kind. They do everything for you in order to have a perfect safari. We highly recommand Selous Explorer for doing safaris, considering the fact that they have the best quality-price ratio.
Thank you million times Nestor, Rashidi and Asna ! You have made our holidays unforgettable.
Best regards,
Alexandra & David

Awsome trip with the best compagny !!!
We were a group of four people, we had opted for the formula 3 days 2 nights in camp which is enough to fully enjoy the experience.
The camp was comfortable : tween size bed, shower and hot water ...
The experience was unforgettable, the first day we went on a boat safari to see hypopotamuses, crocodiles and different types of birds.
We spent the second day at the Selous game reserve where we had the opportunity to see several animals giraffes, zebras, lions, elephants and so on, with a very friendly, motivated driver who made us discover the reserve. The experience ended with a very informative walking safari.
The staff was extremely friendly, always attentive, the cook concocted us succulent dishes !
Thank u Selous Explorer (Asna, Nestor & Rashidi) !!
