The BEST holiday we ever had!
5/5

Our safari trip was very well organised and spot on. Our trips were always on time, the car was very clean and comfortable. We saw all the animals we were hoping for and our guide made sure we travel extra to find the lion... and we found three of them! Super happy with everything:)

Safari 3 dniowe odbyło sie bez żadnych problemów. Mieliśmy świetnego, śmiesznego kierowcę który znał sie na rzeczy, opowiadał nam o zwierzętach które spotykaliśmy cały czas a nawet zorganizował przepyszny piknik z jedzeniem i kawa co było bardzo miła niespodzianka :) bardzo polecamy!

Brilliant experience with a brilliant guide
5/5

Lenard took us through a wonderful 3 day safari south of Dar Es Salaam. The safari was relaxing and Lenard’s knowledge extensive. Lenard was very attentionate with us whilst also not being invasive and knowing when to give us privacy. I would thoroughly recommend the agency as well as the guide.

Exhilarating safari for amazing value
5/5

This was our first safari and because we were on a budget we werent sure what to expect. The offer we received from Lennard was by far the best value while having the most dynamic itinerary.

We were very pleasantly surprised by how nice the accommodation was...spacious, comfortable and in an absolutely stunning setting.

One the first day we were taken on an evening river safari where we were delighted to see (and hear!) Many hippos and crocodiles. It was a super exciting start to our trip and our boat guide was very engaging and knowledgeable.

On the second day we went on a game drive and were incredibly lucky to see an elephant within minutes of entering the park. Thanks to the skill of our driver Lennard we were able to see everything we wanted...zebras giraffes warthogs and even lions! Lennard was the perfect mix between ensuring we saw as many animals as possible while maintaining a respectful distance and not being intrusive. Because selous is one of the more underdeveloped parks we felt like we had the park almost to ourselves and felt very much immersed in nature.

On the third day we went on a walking safari where we were lucky to come across a whole herd of elephants. We also learned a lot.about the native plants insects and birds thanks to.our incredible guide.

We cant thank Lennard enough for taking such good care of us on our first safari. He made it an incredibly special and unforgettable.experience. 100% recommend this to others particularly younger travelers.

Well organised end to end...
5/5

Lenard picked us up at the airport and was cheerful, even though we arrived at 4am. Then straight to Selous, a quick rest and a river safari. Walking tour in the morning and then a full day game drive with plenty of animals. Next day a long drive to Mikumi, ending with a beer and a swim in the pool. Next day a full day in Mikumi park, good to see the different landscape from Selous and some new animals. Then a drive back to Dar and straight in the ferry to Zan.

Excellent 1 day / 2 nights Selous Safari
5/5

We had an excellent time during this safari trip. Lenard picked us up at our accommodation in Dar Es Salaam and drove us to Selous. Firstly, we felt very safe in the car; he asked us to let him know if everything was ok and not to hesitate to tell him to adapt his driving!
When we arrived at Ngalawa Camp we had a hour to relax and settle in our bungalow before heading off on a boat safari to see hippos and crocodiles. Lenard lent us his binoculars which was awesome because we got to see so much ! The next day we did a safari drive in the game reserve and the first thing we saw was an elephant crossing the road in front of us ! The drive was excellent, Lenard brought us to great places to see all kinds of animals, was super attentive and always on the look out, and answered all our questions. We had such a great time ! The next morning we woke up early and did a morning bush walk with an amazing guide and an armed ranger and got to see a whole family of elephants cross in front of us ! After that Lenard drove us back to Dar and even helped us sort out our ferry tickets to Zanzibar. He was incredibly knowledgeable and was patient, kind and accommodating throughout the whole trip. We definitely recommend him !

Perfect in a special way
5/5

We have been in Dar in May. Although it was the end of the rainy season and therefore not the best time to go on safari we didn't wanna leave without seeing any animals.
We had booked the three days Selous safari tour. Lenard picked us up at our hotel in Kigamboni right in time. We bought some veggies, fruits and water on markets along the way (what was an experience by itself), had a lunchbreak with a delicious meal in Kibiti. The landscape is so beautiful, Lenard is such a good driver and entertainer, time passed so fast and the six hours tour was never boring.
At arrival in the Ngalawa Tented Camp we had a two hours boat safari on the Rufiji river. Something so very amazing...the silence, the birds, the crocodils, the hippos, the sundown...it is hard to put it in words.
We had a full day safari in Selous the next day. Lenard knows the reserve very good, he knows so much about animals and we saw a lot of them. No cats, but almost every other...even a hyena in the end. Lenard brought us so very close to them, he was so patiently and never got tired to drive, to explain and wait for us making photos.
On the last morning we had a walking safari. It was really exciting to walk in the bush always aware that the animals are close. A real nature experience.
We had full board at the Ngalwa Tented Camp. Food was always very delicous and the camp is a woderful little place somewhere out in the wilderness where we heard the bush babies cry at night.
The whole tour was thouroughtly good organized and perfect in a special way mostly cause of Lenard...we hope to do safari with him again and highly recommend him and his company.

All inclusive safari in all meanings
5/5

Hello to everyone!
We took a 3-days safari to Selous through Going Green Safari and were guided by Lenard. He picked us up in time from the ferry port in Dar Es Salaam and brought us to Ngalawa camp within around 5 hours (a good driver). On the way there and further in game reserve Lenard told us many interesting facts about fauna life and his practice in safari guideness. He saw everything by his experienced look, what we did not see (snakes, birds, lizards etc.) Accomodation was good (10 minutes away from the game reserve) and quite comfortable (at least we had the most necessary - water, electricity, meals, beds). It was amazing to fall asleep, while birds were crying nearby. When we moved through Selous, our safety was a priority for Lenard and he instructed us in detail, how to behave. On the way back to Dar Es Salaam he kindly sought out occasional mango in the road market, which we wanted to take home with us (similar as he searched out animals for us in the reserve). Lenard is a open-minded, friendly guy and can be highly recommended for safari trips, as well as his company. Only pleasant impressions from communications with him!

Excellent experience made even better by Lenard
5/5

We recently returned from 2 nights exploring Selous and we were not disappointed at all. Firstly we were picked up from our hotel by Lenard and explained the days itinerary. Communication and information provided was always spot on and if we had any queries, Lenard was always on hand to go above and beyond. The whole duration of our trip was planned perfectly and the meals were delicious. Simply put, I wouldn’t look any further than Going Green Safari Tours and for sure will be using Lenard on my next adventure. He is more than a guide and more of a companion on this wonderful experience.

Great Safari experience in Selous!
5/5

Before going to Tanzania, we hadn't really planned on going on a safari, but looking back, we're really glad we did! Driving to Selous from Dar es Salaam was great to see more of the country. We had a good vibe in the car, nice convos and a delicious local meal on the way to our camp. After arrival, we rested and then did a great boat safari. The game drive the next day was really interesting. Lenard was knowleadable, fun to talk to and except for Zebras we managed to spot all game we had hoped to see. Simply a great guide & a great guy! We can definitely recommend doing a Safari with Goin Green Safari Tours and advise you to book the tour directly with him.
ASANTE SANA!!
