What a wildlife! You must come and look
We visited selous game reserve for a three days of safari. On the first day we had a boat tour on the river. Saw many birds, crocodiles and hipos. Enjoyed a spectacular sunset.
We expected a tent for the night, as was written in the reservation, but we got a very nice small building with toilets and shower between the trees and monkeys.
The second day was a full safari day. Lets the game begin! Lots of zebras, giraffes, gnus, impalas, two elephants in close look, four lioness eating a pumba from a distance of three meters, hyena and lots more. We could not expect more than that (a leopard would be nice...)
The last day started in a morning walk in the bush with the giraffes and pumbas and two rangers explaining about the bush. Very interesting.
And now to the long drive back to Dar es Salaam. With nice scenery and small villages.
In the beginning we arrived Dar es Salaam by ferry from Zanzibar. The ferry was very convenient and on time. On the way back to Zanzibar we took a flight. Except for a dally in the flight it was very good. Only 20 minutes flight.
The bottom line - I deeply recommend Tanzania and Zanzibar (which is part of Tanzania) as a target for a different excitement and vacation .

Absolutely incredible!
The wildlife is absolutely incredible in Tanzania. The scenery is breathtaking and the accommodations were amazing. Not one bad thing to say! Our guide was the best possible guide we could have had. We were sooo happy we got the chance to tour around with him. He made the journey so much fun! All around the experience was everything we imagined and more.

Perfect safari experience with Soul of Tanzania
The communication with Soul of Tanzania to arrange our safari was fantastic, Sandy provide us all information we need and all possible combinations of parks to visit and every type of accomodation. She asked soon and efficently to all (really many) questions and doubt we had. So no problem at all in book whatever you want to organize with this company.
Since we arrive to Tanzania we realize that people from Soul of Tanzania were always worried to satisfy our needs (food, shopping, what to see, where to stop, etc...)... so finally we enjoyed a lot seeing all animals we dreamed to see in their environment, and with the additional information provided for our fantastic guide Ayoub ( he was always trying to satisfy everythinh or place we want to see or go). We expend 6 incredible days thru Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Tarangire parks seein (and feeling) what we have seen many times on tv.
The extension to Zanzibar was also amazing with tropical beaches and also visiting Stone Town in a half- day tour. Relax, rest and enjoy every moment.
I can finish without recognizing that every people we met was incredibly kind and always smiling and helping tryning to make us feel the best possible. I will never forget Karibu, Hakuna matata,... thanks to all of you,
The expirience is unforgotten, something to remember forever. Anything I can say or any photo I can show will be far to show what we lived there.

Review about Rwanda by Genevieve
I only went on one game drive in Rwanda, but it was not such a good experience.
I think Rwanda is most known for Gorilla Trekking, which is probably a better option than going on a game drive.

Great experience with Reny Safari!
Unforgettable experience in Masai Mara with Reny Safari (guide- Obama). All big 5 on 1 day! Total focus on our needs as guests, a lot of useful information during the way. This rather small but very efficient travel agency is highly recommended.

Beyond expectations
Our bush camp (Deteema) was spectacular! Staff, camp, game drives...impeccable.
Aside from most activity pick ups running on “African time” all were amazing! At any time during our trip planning we had questions all were attended to promptly

Everything went like said and they answered quickly to all the questions.
It was worthwhile to see the countryside in addition to Golden Moneys. Driver was great because he spoke good English and could tell about the society and things which interested me.

Outstanding safari
My family and I visited Nothern parks and conservation areas of Tanzania - Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater and Lake Eyasi.
I have done several safaris before with different operators to different locations, but it was first wildlife safari for my husband and daughter, so I was choosing the safari company extremely carefully this time, – I needed their first experience to be unmatched!
We are really lucky that we have been recommended by a friend to contact Hassan from Nurtured Wildlife. From the first communication I felt total involvement of Hassan into planning our tour. I appreciated such a personal approach, as if he was preparing an itinerary for his own family member or a close friend.
Lodges chosen were of a quite high standard (great food, comfy beds, hot shower, swimming pools), – although we had certain limitations of a budget.
Driver guide's service was highly professional. 4x4 safari vehicle was in a great condition, we have noticed that the car is regularly serviced and very well taken care of.
I was amazed by a highly professional and warm approach – and I Do have something to compare with, after experiencing several safaris in Tanzania, Kenya, Uganda, and South Africa.
We highly recommend contacting Nurtured Wildlife if you dream of a memorable holiday in a world of the African wilderness!
Cheers,

Exceptional 17 Day ‘Bucket List’ trip
Every aspect of this holiday was exceptional. Justus worked closely with me and my friends (we were a group of 4 women) to create the itinerary and select the right experience. He was knowledgeable, responsive and flexible. The references from other happy clients were impeccable. Our driver/guide Charles was excellent. We travelled from Kigali to Uganda and visited Lake Bunyonyi, Bwindi (did two incredible gorilla treks - not to be missed!), Queen Elizabeth part, Kibale (for the chimp trek) and Murchison Falls. Charles was an amazing safari guide and we saw two (yes two!) leopards, lions, elephants, giraffe, etc in the national parks. Our accommodations were amazing and lots of variety - lodges, tented camp (Ishasha) and unique cottages/chalets (Agandi, Papaya Lake). Justus also included several boating and cultural excursions so we really felt like we got to know Uganda. Uganda is very safe, beautiful geography and the people are very friendly. I’d highly recommend Uganda as a holiday destination and Gorilla Bookings as the tour company. We loved every moment.
