Wonderful SAFARI and Welcoming
We made a safari boat and 4x4 to SELOUS and saw many animals. We were amazed and highly recommend this safari. We slept 2 nights in the bush in very nice and comfortable lodges there were also 2 beautiful pools. Everyone was very caring for us and very kind and especially the Maasïls who accompanied us to our lodges for safety. We especially thank the young man GTODBLESS RODGERS MALIGANA who accompanied us on our ferry ride and our excellent guide in 4X4 NASSIRY MBONDE for the safari who knew perfectly the bush and did everything possible to show us as many animals as possible. We strongly recommend this safari

Most wonderful time!
We stayed in Nyerere Safari Lodge and we had 3 wonderful nights with the most wonderful staff, delicious food and beautiful surroundings. We had amazing safari’s with the kind and welcoming guide Nassiry. During the trip he told us much about the animals, plants and the national park. He really knows a lot, is a very good driver and made us laugh along the way! Our experience is unforgettable and we can highly recommend going to Nyerere National Park. Hopefully Nassiry will be waiting for you at the airport to be your guide!
