The operator provided excellent organization, though food and accommodation needs improvment
Transport: Perfect. Our guide Nestor managed the flights Zanzibar → Selous → Dar es Salaam very smoothly, always punctual and reliable.
Safari: Very good. Comfortable 4x4 just for the two of us. Nestor was attentive, and we managed to see the “Big 3” (elephants, lions, buffalos), though no rhinos in Selous.
Accommodation: Lodges were adequate (mosquito nets, hot water), but overall quite basic with limited comfort and no extra amenities or blankets. We chose to spend the third night in a Dar es Salaam hotel instead.
Food: Could definitely be improved, lacked variety and quality.
Staff: Khadidja and Clara, along with the rest of the lodge team, were very kind and attentive. However, the lack of English skills made communication sometimes difficult.
Overall: Excellent organization and safari thanks to Nestor, but accommodation and especially food would need improvement.

Enjoyable 3-day trip
We really enjoyed our 3-day private tour to Selous. As we did safaris in the north parks the week before, we were scarred that it would be repetitive, but no the Selous experience is different and less touristy. Communication was OK, sometimes during the tour we weren't really informed about what's was going on next. Asna from the office was very helpful and even got us tickets for the ferry as they were dropping us off there at the end. Thank you Asna and Nesto for everything!
