5.002 Day Hola Africa Selous Safari led by guide Musha was a remarkable lifetime experience. During the course of 2 days viewed all the Big 5 in Selous Reserve plus everything else thanks to Musha's knowledge and experience of the Reserve habitat and determination to assure maximum sighting opportunities. The safari was meticulously organized from the moment our flight landed in Selous to our departure to Zanzibar base. Every aspect of our Safari experience (flights, lodging, field lunches, Bush Walk and River Cruise were professionally organized to optimize the entire stay and experience. Highy recommend Hola Africa and specifically Safari guide Musha a very professional, personable and customer service oriented resource to make your safari a memorable life time experience.

5.00Just returned from a fantastic 3 day safari, seeing amazing animals. Our experience was great thanks to our tour guide Hamza and driver Awamu. They were courteous, kind and full of information. They met us at the plane and were there to answer all questions accompanying us all the way right until we departed on day 3! They went the extra mile to find and share with us as much as possible whilst keeping us and the animals safe! Outstanding members of your team we were lucky to meet them. Many thanks Amanda & Pete

5.00Amazing 3 days safari, very well organized ! Our guide Hamza and driver Ali were very kind and gentle. They gave us so much explaination and showed us a lot of ways and places in the national Park of Nyerere (previously Selous). They were very carina with us and took the time for some breaks and let us time to take pictures and enjoying views of animals and landscapes. We highly recommend Hamza and Ali as they were very concerned in the wellbeing of the wildlife as well. They didn't run after animals at any price, they respected comfort zones of animals, and we were able to see a lot of giraffes, elephants, impalas, buffalos, birds, baboons as well as lions, warthogs, kudus, crocodiles and hippos, eagles ... and other smaller animals (mangooses, squirrels, ...) We stopped for lunch and Coffee breaks in amazing places. Everything went perfect Thanks to them. Ali was a super driver, very safe and caring (he prevents us from acacia spines and other branches while driving and drove slow when needed) and Hamza was a super guide that knows very well the park very talkative and in love with nature. There is a very diversified wildlife, that needs to be seen and preserved. 5/5, ideal for couples, friends groups and families.
To do with Moussa!!
