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.

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 !

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.

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.

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.

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!

A splendid experience!!
5/5

We definely had an amazing 5-day guided safari to Selous GR and Mikumi NP.
Mr. Lenard has demonstrated to be a super professional guide and driver, conducting us into remote areas of Selous and Mikumi.
With his modified Landcruiser 4x4's with pop-up roofs that can be closed when travellling long distance we always had the feeling of comfort and safety. Accommodations were also super nice, especially in Mikumi Bastian camp we had a really nice stay, with kind staff and excellent food. Bungalow were always provided of a private bath with warm water. Beds were comfortable and provided of mosquito net. Staff was super kind and even food was excellent.
In conclusion I highly reccomand such a splendid safari experience with Going Green Safari Tour to everyone!

Excellent Selous safari
5/5

We did the 3 day Selous safari, with a boat trip, game drive and walking safari. It was great, we saw a lot of animals and de budget camp we stayed in was very nice and just renovated, the swimming pool is will be ready in approx. one month. The food is simple but good and more than enough (3 courses at diner). Mr. Lenart is very punctual, experienced and knows a lot about the area and the animals. Highly recommended!
