Excellent
We contacted the company for a last minute safari, booking on Monday for a Wednesday departure. Selous Explorer were highly responsive and communicative which is something I value. The safari was great value for money compared to other companies I had viewed. We really enjoyed the cruise on the river and our guides for the game drive were so helpful and friendly and we saw all the animals we had wanted to see. It was really amazing. The staff in the lodge were attentive and the food was delicious. We enjoyed having breakfast in the mornings with monkeys overhead and hippos visible in the river. I would highly recommend.

Traveling Solo, Feeling at Home with Selous Explorer
An absolutely amazing experience! Everything was perfectly organized – always punctual, always on time, and surrounded by such kind and friendly people.
The lodge, right in front of the river, offers a breathtaking view and such a peaceful atmosphere. The local food was varied, fresh, and simply delicious.
The safari guides were incredible – very gentle, attentive, and always making every effort to fulfill even the smallest requests. They were genuinely listening and open to conversations, which made the experience even more special.
I traveled alone, and not once did I feel uncomfortable or out of place with this agency. On the contrary, I felt safe, welcomed, and well taken care of throughout the entire trip.
This agency truly deserves full trust. I recommend it with all my heart, and I would happily choose them again. Don’t hesitate for a second – go for it, you will absolutely love it!

Extraordinary experience
We had a great trip to Safari. Nestor is so helpful and knowledgeable. Immersed in the wild life for the game drive. Would recommend the trip to everybody and already know who we need to organize.

Unforgettable
An unforgettable adventure in the heart of Tanzania! The safari in Nyerere National Park was a journey I’ll carry with me forever. The wild nature, the endless landscapes, the sunsets that looked like paintings… every moment was pure magic. But what truly made this experience extraordinary was our guide: Neto.
Neto is not just a guide—he’s a walking encyclopedia of the savannah, a captivating storyteller, and above all, a wonderful human being. His passion for nature is contagious, and his deep respect for animals and the environment shines through in everything he does. With him, every sighting became a story, every footprint a mystery to be uncovered.
He was always available and went above and beyond to fulfill my every wish—with a smile and incredible patience. Whether it was waiting for the perfect moment to take a photo, tracking a herd of elephants in the distance, or simply finding the ideal spot to enjoy the sunset, Neto made sure the experience was tailored just for me.
From lions resting in the shade of acacia trees, to hippos lazily surfacing from the river, to the powerful silence of the savannah at sunrise—everything was masterfully guided by Neto.
If you’re planning a true African safari, I can’t recommend Nyerere National Park enough… but most importantly, make sure you go with Neto. He’s one of a kind, and will turn your trip into a genuine soul-stirring adventure.

Particularly memorable trip
This is a particularly memorable trip. First of all, the owner of this store is very sincere and enthusiastic. He will help you as a friend. He is also good at driving and knows how to find animals in national parks. Secondly, the accommodation and meals they provide are excellent. , It can be seen that it is not like other similar price shops are perfunctory, and the service awareness of the waiters is also very good. If you choose to come, I sincerely recommend their shop, it is definitely worth the money, and the equipment is cost-effective

3 exceptional days in the Selous Game Reserve
We spent 3 exceptional days with Nestor, our driver, and Tatiana, our French guide. On the first day, we took possession of our lodge and took the boat trip. We could see lots of animals. On the second day, we did the safari in the park by car. It was magical ! We saw lots of animals including lions. Nestor is an incredible driver, who knows the park very well and the 4x4 allows access to places not easily accessible by other cars. And the third day was the walk with a bushman before taking the road to Dar Es Salaam. Nestor and Tatiana took us to the ferry where they helped us get tickets to Zanzibar. The lodges of the hotel are very nice, the staff is adorable and we eat very well there. This safari will remain unforgettable! Thank you, thank you and thank you again.
