The safari was great, we saw a lot of animals and had a great experience.
We stayed in a real safari tent, it was nice to fall asleep at night to the sounds of different animals. The safari lasted all day, with lunch in between. We saw many different animals - elephants, giraffes, zebras, hippos, wilddogs, buffaloes, goats, hyenas, etc. The child counted that he saw 105 giraffes. The guide was nice and talkative, he knew all the animals and birds.

Awesome :) Professional, skilled and relaxed
Franklin is an enthuisiastic and very friendly guide. He starts off by emphasizing "hakuna matata" and "pole pole" and creates a relaxed and warm atmosphere. The Land Cruiser with which we drove through the country started to feel like home :) The combination of impressive driving, sharing of his comprehensive knowledge of anything nature related, finding the beautiful lunch spots, and his attentiveness to creating the best possible photographs and going the extra mile are amazing!
The communication before was clear and reliable and, during some challenges at our side, the team was always very helpful ;) The quote we reserved beforehand is very representative of the program. The schedule of our 5-Day Safari to Mikumi and Selous Game Reserve was well constructed. The Masai visit on Day 1 was a great introduction of safari. The combination of the Mikumi park, the long but certainly beautiful drive across the country on Day 3 towards Nyerere National Parc, and the Boat Safari on Day 4, and the Bush walk on Day 5 created a much appreciated diversity which made us fall in love with Tanzanian nature :)
We are really appreciated having one driver and guide during the whole safari, and in driving across the country - additional guides were present in the Masai village as well as in the boat and walking safari. The lodges were all great, with a special appreciation for the location and view in the Selous Mapumziko Lodge on Night 3 and 4, and the wonderful atmosphere in Camp Bastian Mikumi on Day 1. We would have loved to stay here two nights as well :)

Wonderful safari
We had a wonderful experience on our private safari in Selous/Nyerere National Park!
We enjoyed several activities, including a boat safari, which was a really beautiful experience, as well as the game drive itself. We were accompanied by a guide and a driver. They shared so much information about the animals and the park throughout the safari, which made the experience even more interesting.
I was a little nervous before the safari, but they immediately made us feel comfortable and safe. We felt completely safe and well looked after throughout the entire experience.
We also really enjoyed the lodge. It felt much more authentic and personal than some of the larger, more touristy lodges around the park. The welcome was very warm, the staff were lovely, and we really enjoyed the atmosphere.
Overall, we had an amazing time as a couple and loved having a private safari experience. It was a very special part of our trip to Tanzania, with great value for money. We would definitely recommend it!
