Mrs M Patel - Suwandu Camp, Selous National Park, what an amazing experience! Superb location for your accommodation in a modern equipped tent in the bush with every possible luxury. The staff are excellent, tending to your every need and sheer attention to detail and welcome made our four nights very memorable. Excellent three course meals prepared by very accomplished chefs with international cuisine. Dream experiences with boat, walking and jeep safaris with special sunset drinks and breakfasts by the hippo pools. Truly a place worth a visit.

Perfect tour - We were on tour with Santiago in Mai and it was just perfect: Very well organized, Santiago could answer any question about culture, fauna or flora, Santiago is a very good and safe driver, he new exactly which moments could be a challenge for us Europeans and we always could adapt our route according to weather or wishes though already being on the road. We can even recommend going to Tanzania in rainy season, even though we didn't see as many animals as we probably would have during main season - but we didn't have to share the lions with 20 other tourists.
