A once in a life time Safari Experience
I got in touch with Leina, last minute before our trip to Tanzania, and she was very responsive and planned a detailed and all encompassing itinerary for us at Selous. She came to receive us at the airport and presented a kit with all that we would need during the safari. We went to Selous in the safari vehicle which was spacious and comfortable and our driver and guide was an excellent driver who drove effortlessly even in rough rainy terrain.
The campside we had was very well kept and the food was among the best we ate during our entire trip. The people at the camp were very friendly and helpful too. Leina also called to check on us regularly and ensured we were having a good experience. She is also very knowledgeable on travelling in Tanzania and offered us some recommendations on planning our trip after the safari too.
Additionally, when one of my friend had forgotten a belonging of hers at the campside, Leina made sure to get it delivered to us before our departure, which speaks volumes of her Msafiri's services, beyond its tour.
I recommend Msafiri and Leina for planning your safari to Selous, and you wont be disappointed.

Very good planned
It was an amazing vacation. The itinerary perfect planned, with activities and transfers. Clean accomodation, the food excellent-african cuisine, but high class. I recomand for everybody to visit Malawi lake, Kitulo and Ruaha national parks unique places without crowds. And the chocolate cake in Iringa...

AMAZING EXPERIENCE
We had a very hard time planning the Safari Trip and there were a lot of challenges until this amazing person appeared before we Ride the car to the Safari, Mrs Leina the owner of MSAFIRI TRAVELS. Meeting her was a miracle ,she turned this trip into an amazing experience, she prepared an outstanding program for us , she made sure we were comfortable as we were on our honeymoon . The best thing about her accompaning us to the safari is that she has a lot of information, knowlage and background about the country , the people and the traditions. You can never get enough of listening to the information ,stories and history of Africa ,she has . We went on a one night Safari at Selous ,It was like being in the movie Lion King. It was an unforgettable experience . We couldn't believe our eyes , going on a safari and experiencing being this close to the wild animals is just undescribable.

Extremely knowledgeable, time conscious and thoughtful.
Everything about the trip was well thought out and very well planned. All activities were on time and communication was very well done.
Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and constantly made sure we were well taken care of. At Selous, it feels like playing hide and seek with the animals, but out guide knew where to go when to turn and the best angle to get the best photos.
The camp grounds were very clean and the staff was amazing! The food was delicious and felt like home cooked meals. The tents have modern amenities without taking away the camping feel.
Overall it was an amazing experience and would definitely go again

Great tayloring Safaris adjusted on your budget. Team was flexible with very easy communication.
Msafiri Travels team prepared a well balanced trip to Tanzania in very short term (only 6 days before traveling). Since the beginning comunicaton was fluent.
Even though country is not prepared for stricts Vegeterians, Leina and the team were always in contact with the hotels to make sure everything was prepared for us (daily!).
Perhaps now (after the trip) I would had chosen another park to see more animals. That's the only point to improve from our trip.

Good service and nice guides
I would recommend others to book their journey through Msafiri Travels.
Very sweet employees, everything was taking care of and we were very well informed regarding our hole stay.
We had 3 weeks in Tanzania. We started in dar es salaam and continued to Mikumi for a small safari trip, which was perfect for a small safari trip. Afterwards, Zanzibar where we stayed in Stown Town, Paje and Nungwi.
All the hotels matched our expectations and all the transportation were included.
All in all, a perfect vacation, perfect service and nice guides.

Great days in wonderful parks
Leina our tour operator was professional, and the safari in Serengeti and Ngorongoro went without glitches.
Harun, our well experienced and tiredless guide/driver was very attentive to our wishes.
The Sopa lodges in both parks were very comfortable, clean and with great views! The meals were great at the lodges, though the lunch boxes could be improved and more varied. We even were surprised to find water bottles on the crater lodge as the evenings were much cooler on the rim..
Harun was very, respective of the park rules to protect the environment and the animals.
We were extremely lucky to sight a confrontation between a big herd of angry buffaloes confronting a pack of around 18 lions ( half of them inexperienced having just made the mistake to kill 2 little buffaloes from the big herd). Very rare to witness indeed!!
And as it was the mating time for birds, we saw the ostriches' dances to court and mate with artistic wing displays.
Wonderful memories to take back home.
