A very enjoyable safari with a knowledgeable driver/guide
From the very beginning of our enquiries with Wildness Safaris, communications were reasonably timely & clear. We decided on a 5 day safari to Selous Game Reserve, with Days 1 & 5 being travel to & from Dar es Salaam, Nights 1, 2 & 3 in Selous Jimbiza Camp just outside the southern gate & Night 4 in Sable Mountain Lodge just outside the northern gate. Our accepted contract with them included Days 2, 3 & 4 as 3 full days of safari in Selous Game Reserve. We entered the reserve around 10am on Day 2 & then unfortunately rushed through the reserve to the north to exit by 10am on Day 4, as the entry & exit permits last for 24 hours. Consequently, we did not get our full day safari drive on Day 4 as per our itinerary & only 2 days of Reserve entry instead of 3. This was explained to the owner when we arrived back on Day 5, but disappointingly no offer of a refund of Reserve entry fees was made. These are around US$75 per person per day which is not insubstantial. However, we did thoroughly enjoy our 2 full days of safari with our driver/guide Steve & managed to see a lot of wild animals in this time, so didn’t feel we would necessarily have any seen different animals on Day 4 – just more of the same, but in different numbers & different environments. Steve’s knowledge of the wildlife was amazing & he showed lots of patience in answering our numerous questions. Overall, we would recommend Wildness Safaris.

Posted on Jul 16, 2018Thanks for the review. We usually have tendency of meeting the clients for personal review on last day, I had met and personally apologized on you last day in Dar es salaam.
Again I apologize for what had happened on day 4 as you were suppose to have game drive.
I had personally paid and banked the park fees of 3 full day game drive Game reserve bank account in Dar es salaam.
I have checked that the permit was suppose to be issued for 3 days but the guide Steve had overlooked. Due to internate network at Selous Reserve Gate, the permit was not issued but they only issued receipt. Assuring you to offer extra icebound on your future bookings.
