Depart in Zanzibar at 0800am or Dar es Salaam at 0820am on a shared charter plane for an hour flight to an Airstrip in Selous Game Reserve upon arrival proceed with the game drive to enjoy what nature will provide! You will see elephants, Lions, Elands, Leopards, cheetahs, giraffes, Wild-dogs, Lesser Kudu, hippos and crocodiles live in this immense sanctuary, which measures 50,000 sq. km, practically undisturbed by human impact. The park has a variety of vegetation zones, ranging from dense thickets to open wooded grassland. Picnic lunch on the bush relax for an hour then proceed with game drive to enjoy the African Savannah safari with full of wildlife. See the wild animals trail to the lakes and rivers to drink water. Game drives till afternoon around 0400pm take your flight back to Dar es Salaam or Zanzibar. This is a short safari but it's worth if you do not have much time for safari.
Trip was excellent from start to finish. Picked up on time, flight was straightforward. Guide was waiting on arrival. Morning and afternoon tour were great, saw all the animals we wanted to see. Tour guide was very knowledgeable. Flight back and transfers were bang on time. Would 100% recommend this tour operator.
Super Safari, we had very good contact with Anna, a wonderful organizer, 100% available, very kind and very professional, we had total confidence thanks to her. Thank you Anna. The Safari was incredible, we had the chance to see lots of animals thanks to Wilson's wonderful advice, a big thank you for all his explanations, thanks also to Moussa, our great driver, who ensured very good driving throughout. the reserve. A very nice experience that we highly recommend.
Professional service and a once in a lifetime opportunity! It was worth the lifetime of memories and I think about this experience often!
This is an experience no one should miss! Worth every $. Everything about it was out of this world. You get to see all the big animals in their natural habitat. We got picked up from the hotel at 5 am then went straight to the airport. Landed in Selous at 7:30 am and started the game drive right away. Godfrey was very helpful and the guide we had Jumaa was very hands on and made sure we see all the animals. We didn’t see lions or leopards but it was still worth it.
Everything about the trip and its organisation were as we hoped. From the moment we were picked up from our hotel in the early hours of the morning to the moment we arrived back just over 12 hours later, everything was organised brilliantly and seamlessly. The transfers, the airport, the flights and as for the safari itself, it was awesome, amazing, incredible. Thanks so much for making the trip so memorable. We have and will recommend it to everybody who is interested!
What a day. I would recommend this trip to anyone who is visiting Zanzibar. We were picked up at 4:30am and taken to the airport where we got a plane directly to the National Park. We saw every animal we wanted to see (twice!) and our guides Henry and Patrick were friendly and informative. Lunch was good and we had access to cold water all day which was needed on a hot day. Thank you so much for a trip of a lifetime. Book it now!
I’m French and I booked all my excursions with them and everything was perfect. The safari one day in Selous was Just amazing. Everything was perfect : the flight, the jeep, the guide, the lunch. I saw the female of the lion, elephants, girafes, crocodiles, hippo and so many others. I paid all excursions in advance. Unfortunately one has been cancelled because not enough participants. I’ve been immediately reimbursed. You can trust in them.
We did safari with Godfrey. We love it everthing was super from beging to end.we recomend this company
I was really looking forward to my day trip to Selous for a safari. We woke up at 4am in the morning (hotel details all confirmed 3 times with Godfrey included the night before). He sent the driver to the incorrect place which was not driver’s fault as Godfrey may claim - he was told to go to wrong place by Godfrey which resulted in 1 hour late pick up from hotel and missing our flight. He was incredibly rude and sarcastic on the phone to my husband & I and also hung up on us. He said to change the day of the trip but we already had something else booked which was paid for. He says he offered to book another day but why would we? From a personal point of view, we simply did not trust him or his company to then choose to re-book with him understandably, so asked for our money back as we did not receive the service we paid for as we were not able to go on safari that day. We were in Zanzibar for a limited number of days and had each day planned accordingly so for something like this to happen had a huge impact on what we were able to do with the rest of our days. He did not give our $200 deposit back. He said he paid the driver $70 but that was not anything to do with us! It’s his company and his driver, of course he should be paying him. Making him go to the wrong place is not our problem, he wanted us to pay even though that was not included in the package and wanted us to pay even though he sent the driver to the wrong place making us late for our flight WE PAID FOR!! How can you then trust Godfrey and his company again? We still have not received our $200 deposit back for a safari we did not get to go to on the day originally planned due to Godfrey’s incompetence. He was also not willing to discount anything if we did rebook with him to compensate for our wasted time and day. We then booked with another company who were amazing, no middle agent and sent us our flight details immediately. If anyone would like recommendation, please message me directly and I will share but please save your money and time & do not book with Godfrey or his company! We said to him we will report him and leave him a bad review to which he was very sarcastic and did not care - very unprofessional. WOULD NEVER RECOMMEND GODFREY OR THIS COMPANY TO ANYONE!!!
My wife and I stayed in Zanzibar for a week, and wanting to see something different, opted for this trip. Although a bit pricey for a day trip, we reasoned that it cost less than doing a traditional safari, and may be the only way we could see a little of a place like the Selous Game Reserve. The safari itself was worthwhile....we boarded an early morning flight from Zanzibar and landed at an airstrip at the entrance to the park around 8:30 a.m. We enjoyed the day spent driving around the portion of the reserve designated as a national park...ranging about 40 km into the park, and saw a variety of wildlife: giraffes, hippos, elephants, impalas, baboons, wildebeests, and then some. A picnic lunch was included, and we were back at the airstrip at 4:00 for our flight back to Zanzibar. One could also stay for a night or two at one of several camps on near the Rufiji River, and have a more in-depth safari experience, but for those who might not be up to that, this is a good alternative. As far as planning, Godfrey made the arrangements, including a driver from our hotel who was there punctually at 6:00 a.m. Godfrey was easy to reach via Whatsapp, which we were glad about the morning of the trip, as there was a mix-up in communication about the flight, including which air carrier would take us. This did cause us some nervous moments, as we could have easily missed our flight (even as small as the terminal is, there were several flights on different carriers heading to different places for safaris). Godfrey worked the phones and managed to get us to the right counter in time to get our ticket, and it all worked out, but I would recommend double checking on this aspect before you leave. All in all though, it was a good experience and we were glad we did it.
We had a wonderful time ever. I would recommend this company 💯🌟🌟👍 .thank you Godfrey for all arrangements
We booked this through Viator and paid online. The only thing we paid in cash was transport to and from the airport, which the operator organized for us. It was a great trip, and everything from the pilot to the tour guide was good. The only thing we had to do was show up and the rest was in order.
Everything from A to Z was well organized and forever memorable. Our guide Mr. Ramadan...wooow wooow wooow. He's the man 😊
Amazing experience ☺️ The whole experience was peaceful and easy. 8 hours of total pleasure seeing the beautiful animals 🤩
It was an amazing day, the driver came really near to the animals, and the meals in the middle of the safari was so good I recommend
We had the opportunity to make a day trip to Selous from Zanzibar. All was organised by Godfrey. The trip was amazing and breathtaking. We saw so many animals and the trip was so well organised. Everything was smoothly from the pick up at the hotel to the flight, and the game drive. Godfrey was really reactive and was paying a lot of attention to us. We recommend to do this trip through Godfrey. The driver in Zanzibar (Said who had great recommendation) was also full of great advise.
Good and Nice tour!!! For who never did a safari, it’s a very good opportunity for one day visit and see the experience in Tanzania
Every little detail regarding the safari was excellant, such as the communication to hotel pickup, etc. Very organized and worry free. Professional and friendly staff. I Will do this safari again with my wife.
We Spent about an hour trying to spot animals and when we saw them it came of sudden. Elephants, warthogs, buffalos, monkeys, crocodiles, hippos, giraffes, different antelopes, various birds, hyenas and lions!! Our guides have a huge knowledge about the nature and to find different wildlife. They stop whenever the tourist wants to take a picture on any animal. The flight to Selous was great too...Great experience!!!!
I booked a day trip to Selous it was amazing! Everything perfectly organized and great attention to the smallest detail. Unforgettable memory in my life, Thanks experience Zanzibar Team. I appreciated!
La proximité des animaux et leur diversité Le guide et les explications donnees Seul bémol c’est le manque d organisation au départ.
Unforgettable day! We flew from Zanzibar to Selous. Arrived in Selous our guide was waiting for us and we got in the car. We have seen lions, elephants, giraffes, crocodiles, zebras, buffaloes etc. Seeing these animals in their natural environment is just amazing We took a break at noon with a meal included then left for the safari. We then flew back to Zanzibar to return. The guide was very good and explained perfectly I recommend!!!!
