Our 2-day safari was honestly one of the most amazing experiences we’ve ever had. From seeing the incredible wildlife up close to the beautiful scenery and excitement of both game drive and boat safari, it was truly unforgettable. Our guides Mathias and Nico where brilliant, so knowledgeable and genuinely went above and beyond to make the experience special for us. As it was our honeymoon, they made such a lovely effort to make it extra special and even surprised us with some beautiful gifts, which was such a thoughtful touch and meant so much to us. You could see how much the wildlife meant to our guides and how much they loved their job. We made memories we’ll never forget and have come away with an experience that will always be such a special part of our honeymoon. Definitely one ticked off the bucket list! Thank you soooo much !! Would 100% recommend — an incredible experience from start to finish! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We did a wonderful two-day safari in Tanzania. Directly booked online with Crowned Wild Africa, where we had contact with Jackson Mgunda via WhatsApp. I had made a mistake with the date, so the safari didn't seem to be able to go through and we would have lost the entire amount for this trip. Jackson made a huge effort to change the date, which eventually succeeded. Only the flight tickets from Zanzibar to Tanzania were not bookable, so extra costs had to be made for that. After being picked up at the hotel very early in the morning, we were neatly escorted to the gate at the airport. Had a great flight, directly to the airport in the middle of Selous National Park. Our Land Rover was ready with the guides Matthias and Nico. They welcome us warmly with coffee and local (rice) pancakes. We managed to only be with the two of us instead of the maximum of 6 people. According to Matthias, they aim for small groups for the best experiences. On day 1 we saw many wild animals (gnu, zebra, giraffe, waterbuck, buffalo, crocodile, hippopotamus, warthog, gazelle, baboon, elephant, and lion) in their natural environment. It was very special that lions were tearing apart their previously killed (giraffe) prey 3 meters from the car. A perfectly prepared warm lunch in the middle of the day under a huge Baobab tree. At the end of the afternoon, we were dropped off at Selous Safari Lodge where we stayed in a wonderfully large, beautiful bungalow. The next morning we were picked up again to do a river safari where the emphasis was on lots of hippos, crocodiles, and all kinds of birds. After the boat safari, back to the lodge where we could chill for a few more hours by the pool where we enjoyed the antics of the mischievous baboon family that lives on and around the lodge. Then back to the airport where Matthias and Nico escorted us to the aircraft stairs. What an experience and what a helpful friendly crew. Of course, neatly brought to our hotel again. Two days we definitely didn't want to miss.

At the safari I had made a mistake in the date, which caused the safari to almost not go through with all the financial consequences. Our contact person Jackson Mgunda "moved heaven and earth" to make the necessary adjustments. Eventually, this succeeded through his perseverance. With the help of our two guides, Matthias and Nico, we had two wonderful days. Upon pickup at the airport in the middle of the National Park, we were very kindly welcomed and offered coffee/tea and local cookies. We were lucky enough to be the only two participants so we got a wonderful private safari. Matthias indicated that he prefers to work in small groups. The first day was a "game drive" where we were able to see a huge variety of different animals in their own environment from very close up. It was very special that two lions were eating the giraffe they had previously killed. Everything about the animals was told very clearly and with passion. At the end of the day, we were dropped off at a wonderful safari lodge. The next morning we were picked up early again for the boat safari where completely different aspects of Africa were shown. Then back to the Lodge to chill by the pool where we enjoyed the antics of a baboon family living there. Matthias and Nico escorted us to the airplane stairs. The pick-up and return to the hotel were also excellently arranged.
