From Zanzibar: Selous Game Reserve Day Safari with Flights

Kenit as a guide, he knows so much! All the effort to spot as many animals as possible the first day and fulfill the second game drive day wishes. The stay also top! Everyone so friendly and helpful. Very good food!

Amazing experience, wish we had booked privately for the jeep also considered staying for 2 days. Loved the experience, has made me consider another safari in the very near future, which i will consider private experience/ stop over. All very organised, flight and experience, couldnt fault it ❤️ Highly recommend 🦒🐘🐆🐅🦓🦛🦏

Excellent! Excellent! Excellent! Everything was exactly as described. Early pickup. Flights on time. Guides were professional and courteous. They got you VERY close to all the animals. A must do

Our group had the most incredible time at the Selous Game Reserve! From start to finish, everything was perfectly organized — the logistics were seamless, and every detail was thoughtfully planned. We were lucky enough to see all of the Big Five, which was absolutely breathtaking. The guides were extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about the wildlife and conservation, making the experience even more special. The scenery was stunning, the transportation accommodations comfortable, and the entire trip felt effortless thanks to how well everything was coordinated. This was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and we couldn’t recommend Selous Game Reserve more highly. If you’re looking for an authentic, well-run safari adventure — this is it!

My partner and I booked this as an excursion during our Zanzibar holiday, communication from the point of booking - collection was good and the process clear. We were picked up at 4am by the driver with another couple already on board. We were driven to the airport (not the main international airport) and waited in a café area with many other people, there are lots of tables and chairs so seating was not a problem. After a short time we were taken to the check in of the airport, we checked in and went through security, this took around 10 mins, we then went into the waiting area for our flight to be called, there are seats, toilets and a small snack stall in this area. When our flight was called we were walked out to our plane, this was a small but comfortable plane, the journey took around 30mins and we landed in the airstrip of the national park (I saw 3 Giraffe before we even landed). Once we disembarked the plane there were many guides with lists of people, we found our driver (Charles or King Charles as we called him) and we met the other people in our group, there was 7 of us in total on the jeep. The Jeep was very very comfy which is exactly what you need when you are sitting for long periods of time. Charles was very informative, friendly and we couldn't have asked for a better group or driver! Driving around we got to see many many animals Such as Giraffe, Lions, Elephants, Hippo, Zebra, Hyena, Warthog, Buffalo, Kudu, Baboons, Smaller monkeys and different species of Birds. We were reminded that there is no guarantee to see these animals as they roam free, so I felt we were very lucky. There was only 1 part I felt uncomfortable with, spotting the rarer animals is a big thing and all the drivers keep in touch over radios so when the animal is spotted other cars can also go there, this part is fine and I think a great idea, however on 2 occasions (Lion & Elephant) we were off to the side out of the way of the animals but the other cars ended up almost circling the animal, you could see the lion for example looked worried and the elephant cowered when a vehicles engine started, the only thing I would ask the company to look at is this process, I think if the cars were lined up or stayed back until another car left this would be less stressful on those animals, however as I said above I do understand why they do this, as it is to get the best experience for those attending, but it made me feel uncomfortable. we stopped by the watering hole for some tea and coffee with little snacks and then continued with the ride. later on we had lunch in an area which has toilets, lunch was in an area with a roof but no sides and was very very tasty. unfortunately the heavens opened during this time but the quick thinking drivers moved their jeeps to block the rain around the sides. after lunch we continued the drive on the look out for different animals and then we were taken back to the airstrip for our flight home. Charles was a great guide and the day was truly memorable. the we arrived at the Airstrip at 7am and were taken back around 4pm. Well worth the money for such a great experience!

The experience is long, but very fun, it is worth it for those who have little time, because you feel the spirit of a Safari. We like it a lot.

The organisers were slow to send tickets. It’s an early start, picked up around 4am, they sent tickets the night before at 11pm, leaving me worried if they were sending information or not, after 3 chases they had then sent. The safari itself was a lovely day! its very cold in the morning of the safari, in the second half from 12 onwards it gets very hot. The plane on the way there was completely fine as it’s cool, however, leaving the safari was unbearable as the plane had little AC, not well circulating.

This is a must ! It is a long day but the experience will be with me FOREVER! We saw many animals and the guide was great.

Beautiful we had the chance to see practically all the animals of the reserve with an excellent guide pity he spoke in English and I had asked for a French

This trip was outstanding and our guide Mwngi was exceptional-a definite must as we saw so many animals!
