Greatest private safari
Me, my wife and our two girls 16 and 13 years old had a private safari with FirstSafariJoyce and Ibrahim. We went all the way from Dar Es Salaam to Selous/Nyerere National Park in his safari car (5h). Ibrahim was very experienced in both driving, guiding and to find animals in the park. Lions, giraffs, buffalos, elephant, impalas, zebras, hippos, gnus, crocs and more. We also had a separate boat safari on the river, unfortunately too high water level this time a year to see many crocodiles. Stayed in Mloka Safari Lodge, medium standard with very good food. My wife and I have been on many safaris in younger days but this was the first time for our children. I was recommended this small company from a friend and I can really recommend the same. /Magnus with family from Sweden
