We travelled with Wayfairer to the Selous Game Reserve in Tanzania and Zanzibar in January.
The holiday was well organised from beginning to end and went without any mishaps. The pre safari advice was very useful and helpful. When we had questions before the holiday Aggie dealt with them fully and swiftly.
In terms of flights to and from, we booked those ourselves and for the Zanzibar to Nairobi leg used Precision Airways. That is a misnomer, our flight was cancelled 3/4 times and the plane turned up unscheduled. Random Airways would be a more accurate name.
The internal flights and the transfers organised by Wayfairer went well and without problems. The Lodge in the Selous and the Pongwe Beach hotel were very comfortable and had everything you needed. The Zanzibar Palace was an interesting building but had seen slightly better days. In Stone Town we mainly ate out, but the food at the game reserve and at The Pongwe Beech was very good with a good choice both at dinner and breakfast.
The staff at the two hotels were very pleasant and helpful, but the staff at the Lodge were outstanding in the attention they gave us.
We did a number of game drives both on land and on the river at the Selous. The knowledge and the skill of the drivers and the guides of the animals, birds and plants was tremendous which made the drives very interesting. We also did a guided tour of Stone Town and the guide certainly knew his Town and its history and brought it to life for us.
The views over the river at the Lodge in the Selous were tremendous with 'big African skies', but it was surpassed at the Pongwe Beach Hotel, I thought I had arrived in paradise and was still alive.
Overall the holiday was well organised and good value for money and we enjoyed it very much. We miss the warmth and the views!
