Unforgettable experience
Very beautiful experience. The guide (chaka boy) always smiling explained us interesting things. I never thought to be so close to these animals so big, wild and feel safe. The place to sleep is very cozy with a very friendly staff. 100% recommendable

Wonderful Safari to Mikumi Park
We did a 3 day safari to Mikumi Park with Selous Explorer starting from Dar es salaam. The safari was really great!
The booking was very easy and Asna was very quick in answering all our questions. We had to pay around 20% in advance with credit card, the other 80% we paid in cash (Euro) at the first day of the safari.
Our driver Endrick was the best! We felt very safe in his car and his English was very good. Since he had a training as a national park guide in Selous and much experience as guide in Selous, Ruaha and Mikumi, he knew how to find every animal. We saw a lot of zebras, giraffes and elephants and took many nice photos. We even saw a group of lions with their babies. He was also very flexible and adjusted his program to all our wishes. Asante sana Endrick!
During the safari we stayed in Camp Bastian, which is a good option if you want to experience the athmosphere of a luxurious tented camp outside of Mikumi park. We had a very big room and the food was very good. It is also quite close to the park entrance (30 min drive).
All in all we enjoyed the safari very much and warmly recommend it to everyone!
Amazing experience!
After perusing through pages of Kenyan safaris, I happened upon Selous Explorer in Tanzania. After a little more studying, SE safari seemed to be the more remote and private (and less expensive) experience that I was looking for. I was impressed by their awesome reviews too.
Asna is great and always responds promptly. I booked the 5 day/4 night Mikumi and Ruaha package.
Amazing! Our guide, Endrick, was the best! (as well as our chef, Rashidi, who was also an excellent spotter) All of the accomodations and food were very good, especially the bandas in Ruaha! If you want to experience the closest thing to the Garden of Eden, I highly recommend that you go. Tanzania is beautiful!
Asante sana Asna, Endrick, and Rashidi!

Great experience, the best service!
Maybe they dont have many reviews in the internet but they really exists! (we were afraid of it;)) check their # on the instagram! We were on 3 days safari in Mikumi NP and stayed in camp bastian which has pool and beautiful garden. The food was great, you can choose from few options of dishes. Very clean cottages. Everything was perfect organized, we started and finished in ferry terminal in dar es salam. we don’t need to looking for Asna, she found us;) Our guide Endrick was very nice and knew every animal we spot. And he has also good eye to find animals which was far far away. He knows when to ride and when to stop and give us time to feel the atmosphere of the place. Don’t hesitate if you want to go with them, you got more than you think you paid for;)

Very professionally and customer friendly Service. Amazing experience!
Hello,
we were lucky to book a 3 day Mikumi park safari with a Endric as a Guide. We were picked up from the airport , much earlier as it was written in the offer, because our plane came in the night. With no extra charge for it. From the very beginning and every day we were surprised about the high quality of service and the punctuality which we did not expect to have in Africa. The accommodation was very clean and comfortable. we lived in the cottage, the whole house with separated bath (hot water) and toilet , terrace only for us). Endric , our guide, is a very professional and responsible guide, who treat the nature with a big respect. He loves his job and it was a big big please to have him. He speaks good english and could share with us his knowledge about the animal world. Firstly, in our travel life, somebody tried to make our tour and every hour of it the best one. Moreover, Endric is not only a professional guide (He spotted some animals from the distance, even when we came closer we could not see anything firstly, every time it was our admiring of his skills!), nice person, he was even like a friend for us in that 3 days. He knew when to explain us something and when to let us space for our own conversation or just calm for enjoying. You know, sometimes guides are talking with no stop, that you have a had ache at the end of the day. With Endric it was extremely good balanced.
We have nothing to complain at all, we would like only to wish everything the best to Selous Explorer Company and especially Endric (BIG THANKS for everything). It was amazing. Nothing could be better. We warmly recommend this tour.
Dreams come true!!!
Best regards,
Kateryna & Vladi

Amazing 3-day safari in the Selous Game Reserve
We had an amazing experience with Selous Explorer, more specifically with our guide Nestor and our cooker Rashidi. Thank Asna for answering my emails because there were many . Everything was perfect, Nestor is a master in finding animals (we even saw a leopard !) and Rashidi cooks really delicious meals. The car is comfortable, there is always cold water during the activities and the team is very kind. They do everything for you in order to have a perfect safari. We highly recommand Selous Explorer for doing safaris, considering the fact that they have the best quality-price ratio.
Thank you million times Nestor, Rashidi and Asna ! You have made our holidays unforgettable.
Best regards,
Alexandra & David

Awsome trip with the best compagny !!!
We were a group of four people, we had opted for the formula 3 days 2 nights in camp which is enough to fully enjoy the experience.
The camp was comfortable : tween size bed, shower and hot water ...
The experience was unforgettable, the first day we went on a boat safari to see hypopotamuses, crocodiles and different types of birds.
We spent the second day at the Selous game reserve where we had the opportunity to see several animals giraffes, zebras, lions, elephants and so on, with a very friendly, motivated driver who made us discover the reserve. The experience ended with a very informative walking safari.
The staff was extremely friendly, always attentive, the cook concocted us succulent dishes !
Thank u Selous Explorer (Asna, Nestor & Rashidi) !!

Excellent Safari, excellent value for money
We did a 5-day safari to Mikumi and Selous. From the moment I sent the first inquiry about the safari, everything went smooth. Norbert replied really fast to my emails and messages on whatsapp and was always willing to answer questions about our trip and also helped us with booking domestic flights tickets for our trip to Zanzibar afterwards.
The first day of the safari, our guide was there on time to pick us up. Throughout the trip he has been very helpful and arranged everything according plan. He was very familiar with the area and shared his knowledge and experience about Tanzania, the areas we visited in particular and all the animals we saw.
The hotel and camp we stayed were relatively basic, but clean and all things we needed were there (and for us part of our safari experience as well). The food that was served was overall of good quality.
Definitely recommend people to use Selous Explorer for their safari in Tanzania!

Safiri was very good of finding the most Beautiful animals and good at birds too. Rachidi made the food with lots of love.
It´s a long trip to go to Ruaha but it´s definitely Worth it, it was our favorite Place.
We definitely recommend everyone to go with Selous Explorer! You will be very satified!
