Africa Safari Selous Nyerere National Park

Very nice location, with helpful people and Masai security during the night walkm Also, had an awesome and interesting bush walk and boat safari, get a lot of interesting info from. Gabriel who was open to answer all my questions and provide details. Gabriel is very atent and was really helpful and I got an pleasure experience with him.

The hotel is beautiful and many animals can be seen on the grounds. Maasai guards accompany to your room you at night to be safe. No A/C is an issue at night (32C) difficult to sleep. Swimming pool is a health hazard (no steps,very slippery tiles). Staff very friendly except receptionist.

We had a 4-night stay at this place. It was amazing! Guides Steve and Frank did a great job on the bush walk and boat safari. In the 2-day game drive we were together with guide Mwinyi, the best guide we could wish. He did his absolute best to show us all the animals of Selous. He explanes everything perfect about the nature, combined with great driving skills. Highly recommended to go here!

As with all experiences when visiting Tanzania, it’s the people who make it the most memorable. So, our stay for a few days over Christmas at the Africa Safari Selous Camping lodge was no exception. The staff are friendly, welcoming and always helpful but my review is about the standard of accommodation at the lodge… My wife and I lived in TZ for more than 7 years, leaving 15 years ago. So a revisit with our daughter for a Christmas safari was something we were really excited about. No longer enjoying the discounted residents’ rates, we plumbed for the above lodge which is located just outside the park, as this is cheaper than staying within the park itself. Confusingly the lodge/ camp bares the same name as a few others, but this is the one around Kizwangwiza(sp?) and near the airstrip. My biggest gripe about this place is how really overpriced it is. The rooms, in mud hut styled bandas, are at best average. They are kept tidy by the maids, but there’s no hiding the fact that they are tired and grungy at best: holed mosquito nets, termite dust on the bed linen day and night, rock hard mattresses and holes in the ceiling and doors. The latter would be fine but for the fact that we saw 2 snakes on the path towards our accommodation one night, reminding us how easy they’d be able to enter the rooms. But far more frustrating are the power cuts - I’d have thought that the camp would’ve got itself a large enough generator by now, to deal with the endless BS of Tanesco (TZ electricity) power cuts! So, if you’re needing to charge cameras, phones, watches, etc. it’ll be hit and miss. And when the power is off the water pumps of course operate at a trickle. Also, getting the internet is only at the bar/ reception areas, and they are a walk from your accommodation .

We had a great stay at Africa Safari Selous. We had 3 days safari and it was unforgettable, also thanks to our guide Tarimo. He was a really great guide and he made the experience the best. After the 3 days we really didn’t want to leave, we wanted to stay for more safari!! But unfortunately we had to go back. We really hope to be back someday! Xx Sophie and Sander

We stayed at the reserve for 3 nights for a safari trip. All of the staff at the camp, and on safari were excellent, friendly and happy to help. The camp bungalow we stayed in was rustic but well appointed considering it is in the middle of the bush with double bed, electric, hot running water and a fan. Food was good, with a different selection every night. Drinks were very reasonably priced, and excellent service from the resident bar tender. The highlight of the trip was the safari - excellently organised from start to finish, we were lucky to see so many animals, and everything in the “big 4” except a lion. We managed to see 2 leopards which is rare. Our guide Kenneth and driver Mahmood truly made an excellent team, nothing was too much trouble and they really went over and about to ensure we got to see as many animals as possible, it’s clear to see how much they love their jobs and value the experience they give visitors. Thoroughly recommend this company for a safari experience
