Wow, wow, wow! - We left Zanzibar on the 6am flight landing at 6:30am straight into the game reserve. By 7am we were in the park. At 10 we stopped for tea and a break. We saw elephants, lions, hippos, giraffes, hyenas, crocodiles, zebras. Too many to list. Lunch then carried on finding animals. After a full 10 hrs of game drive we were taken to the selous river lodge. Evening meal was fantastic and we were really looked after. The next morning we had breakfast and went on the river safari. Lots of birds crocodiles and hippo. Back to the lodge for lunch after a 2 hour cruise. Later on we did the village tour with our guide from the day before. We would like to thank Hamsa our guide and Rashidi our driver for making this a trip of a lifetime. Everything was amazing. Superb. We caught the 4:30 flight back to Zanzibar where our driver from experience Zanzibar was waiting for us to transfer us back to our hotel in nungwi. I cannot recommend this trip enough, it was fantastic and exceeded all expectations. Experience Zanzibar tours and safaris (Godfrey) was always available on WhatsApp if I had any questions. Top class services

Selous is the best park expecially boat trip in the evening - For the first time we made a trip to Selous park. honestly we enjoyed. We didn't expect EXPERIENCE ZANZIBAR TOURS would make our trip better than ever!!. When we read review we were shocked .Mr Godfrey by our agreement promises us we would have memorable and good experience. You can see animals in Selous especially along the river. We saw 3 big five.Selous is the best park expecially boat trip in the evening. excellent!

Irresponsible and unethical - Trip not as per the conditions of the sale (pickup drop off charged separately, lodge standard not as per sale, second shortened to 1.5 hour). Viator changed the conditions of my sale AFTER THE PURCHASE AND PAYMENT. Very unsafe safari conditions (we can to a very close encounter with a lioness which could have led to a distrasous incident). Irresponsible and unethical.
