Lovely staff, great service and amazing scenery!
We booked the tour via Safaribookings with the Touroperator Honcho Dmc. We choose the 3-Day Coup D'œil of Selous Fly-in & Out from Zanzibar package with the Selous Kinga Lodge as our stay. Everything went smoothly and was well arranged. All of the drivers were on time and knew where we needed to go. There wasn't a time when we had to wait or wonder what was going to happen.
We had an amazing Safari and saw a lot of animals, unfortunately, we didn't see any lions or leopards, but this was already mentioned by our guide when we arrived as the vegetation had grown and it would be harder to find lions this way. Nevertheless, we had an amazing day. After a long day, we arrived at the Selous Kinga Lodge. We were warmly welcomed by the staff and were given cold wet towels to clean our faces, amazing! This was the beginning of an amazing stay.
The food we received was very good and fresh. We weren’t given a menu, so we didn’t know what we would receive, but we were pleasantly surprised every day. You can however mention your dietary restrictions and they will adhere to this.
The service we received was also very good and authentic. Everybody was so nice and helpful and we really enjoyed this the most. The swimming pool was also very clean and well-kept. The sunbeds had very nice thick cushions which felt luxurious. The man who cleaned the pool came many times to clean, which we appreciated. We also had an escort at night who would guide us to the place we needed to go to on the resort. Really nice touch!
Furthermore, the house/cabin we were staying in, was also very clean and well-kept. We were very happy with this room and also with the housekeeping service. The room was made sleep ready each night, we aren’t used to this, so very nice touch. The only thing that I can point out is that the water pressure was low, so the shower didn’t give a large amount of water however, we could shower with it and had nice warm water!
The lodge has WIFI, however when we visited the WIFI wasn’t working however, Daniel was so nice to provide us with his private mobile bundle so we could send some messages! Thank you for that!
For the monkey lovers, there are many different monkey species living in the trees at this lodge! You can see them close and make nice pictures of them.
All in all, I want to thank the staff of the Selous Kinga Lodge for providing us with an amazing stay! Thank you so much! We highly recommend others to come stay at this lodge as well.

Above and beyond service
We had an issue arriving in Tanzania with another tour company and had been left stranded at the airport. We made contact with Selous Kinga and their team went above and beyond to resolve and ensure we had a fantastic stay. All the team were so helpful and friendly and keen to ensure we had an amazing trip ….which we did. Nothing was too much trouble. The game drives were awesome, our driver Molee, guide Nixon and support team Saleh and Jackson were outstanding.
What srarted as a stressful experience at the airport ended up being a wonderful experience that we will treasure forever and we feel we made new friends. We hope to return in the future.
