Pascoe was very knowledgeable and lovely, really improved our trip!
Loved our tour to selous national park. The driving and boat safaris far exceeded my expectations. The walking safari wasn’t good and I wouldn’t have minded skipping that entirely, though it was quite funny. The accommodation (though we stayed at a slightly different accommodation than usually provided with this tour, at Selous Ngalawa camp) also wasn’t great, and the food wasn’t great there either.
BUT Pascoe our guide and our driver (whose name I forget!) were great, determined to get us to find lions and made for a really enjoyable tour. They were able to sort issues for us on the fly and I would definitely go with these guys again. I think they provide good value for money.

Friendly, correct and flexible!
We did a one day safari, which meant many hours on the road (pretty exhausting, nevertheless a great opportunity to experience the towns/rural areas as well as the surrounding nature on the way!) as well as beautiful encounters in the national park, as nature did not disappoint!
The drive from Dar es Salaam was way longer than announced, which leads to the one aspect that could be improved - providing snacks and/or previously communicating that the included lunch ain't enough for what in the end were ~20h altogether would be great!
Other than that the communication regarding the booking etc. was easy and correct, the pick up punctual.
We have felt very safe despite the crazy traffic and we've been making stops whenever we've expressed needing one! A much appreciated flexibility!
The value for money was decent, we'd wish for a bit more input regarding the animals but in the aftermath it seems that our initiative was asked for, sth our tired brains missed - so if you wanna know more - ask! :)
The tour in the park was great, we were being given enough time to enjoy whatever has caught our eye so we've enjoyed every minute of it and it felt very satisfying!
All in all an enriching experience we are thankful for and would recommend!
Thank you for making it possible!

Very nice safari with a wonderful guide
We had a very nice 4-day safari with Obag Safaris. Obeg, our guide, picked us up at the cruise port in Dar es Salaam. We had contacted each other on WhatsApp which was good because we had some trouble finding each other at the port. My husband uses a very big sport walker, so we were glad that we were picked up in a van which was driven by the very capable Katcha (sp??). The Mikumi Lodge was about a 6-hour drive away, and we stopped for a pleasant lunch on the way. Mikumi Lodge isn’t as well-appointed as some that we’ve stayed in at Arusha and the Serengeti, but it was very clean and comfortable and staffed with the loveliest people.
We had two full days of game drives during which Obeg pointed out all of the game and birds in sight. We we’re able to see plenty of zebras, gnus, water buffaloes, antelope, lions, and birds. We really wanted to spot a leopard, but it was not to be. But we did get to see a python! We’d never seen on in the wild before. This guy was about six meters long.
Obeg was very kind, helpful and attentive the whole time. He also handled my husband’s walker in and out of the safari truck multiple times a day which wasn’t easy.

Live this tour ones a time
We joined to private tour for 1 night and 2 days Mikumi Park. Our guide Obed and the driver guy was nice to us. We enjoyed to much during taking the travel and the Mikumi Park tour first day. To reaching from airport to park takes almost 8 hours. So it was a little tiring but when you reach to park you are forgetting the tiredness. Our accomation place was very good by the way. The hotel staff was so kind also. Eveything was awesome first day. We aggred with a price including everything like Park entrance fee and accomodation. Second day our expectation was waking up early and try to catch a morning hunt if we can. But guide said us we need to pay entrance fee additionally. He said the goverment has shortened the entrance time to Park because of it is a high season and this information has not given to him before. So we didn’t pay the fee and just returned back. I break one star because of this unexpected situation. So being careful for this situation is important before you agreed.
