    Our tour to Selous is unforgettable. Every aspect of the tour was well organized and it flowed seamless like clockwork. Our guide Kibatali made the trip an epic adventure, finding wild animals at every turn. Selous is really beautiful and unlike anything that I have seen or visited. The place is not crowded and we got to see the animals without any disturbance. Every day was beautiful and took us to a different spot where we would experience different attractions. The food and the lodgings were top class. I cannot get over the beautiful memories and only wish that it would have been a longer vacation.

    This trip to Africa's largest reserve was absolutely fantastic from start to finish. Rama had done a perfect job organizing the logistics and our guide Otto was perfect in the execution. He took us to all hot spots in the park where we found lots of different species, beautiful landscapes and incredible biosphere whose beauty surpasses all I have ever seen..... game drives, boat safaris, fishing........ The mix of camping and luxury accommodations was a great way to experience the park and Tanzania. This is a trip that I recommend to all.

    Esther

    Asked on February 11th, 2023

    Is it correct that I can book a safari for 1 person on your website (I am a solo traveler) but that I will join a group? I don't want to do safari alone.
