Tons of animals only marred by vehicle issues
Hamad picked us up from our hotel in Dar and accompanied us for the days exploring Selous before taking us back to Dar. He was great the whole time, very experienced, thoughtful, knowledgeable and great at locating animals. He was also an excellent mechanic which came in very handy as the vehicles supplied by Watu are not the best. This is one area where they lost one star from us. Hamad made our trip a great success and we recommend asking for him in person. Selous is beautiful and contains a surprising variety of animals and landscapes. In two days we saw zebras, hippos, crocs, warthogs, giraffes, impala, bushbuck, waterbuck, buffalo, Wildebeest, hyenas, lions, baboons, colobus and vervet monkeys and even wild dogs. We stayed at the African Safari Camp which Watu arranged for us. Basic food but they did try hard to cater for us as vegetarians which we appreciated. The bush walk the hotel arranged on the last morning was a waste of time for us though. We're glad we didn't have to pay extra for that. Had our vehicle been more reliable, the trip would have been perfect. As it was, we broke down twice on the way to and from Dar and the camp had to take it for an entire day to attempt a repair. That meant sharing with another couple in a smaller vehicle and losing Hamad for a day. However we'd still highly recommend Watu.
Response from the operator: Hello Thank you for the review as this helps us to improve our services. Sorry to hear about the car, it happens sometimes cars breakdown. In your case our car broke 3 rear springs and thus it was not possible to use it the next day and we did not manage to get replacement until when we arrived Dar. To avoid loosing a day without game drives we had to join you with another car which had our guests too. We appreciate for choosing watu safaris among many other operators you may have chosen. Asante sana and karibu sana

Highly recommended!
Prior to our trip to Tanzania I wrote to Majenda and asked him about exploring Selous Game Reserve for three days. He was very kind and answered every question I had patiently. Everything happened as agreed. We were picked up by Hamad and Yoram at 6 a.m. and went all the way down to Selous. We stayed in the amazing Africa Safari Camp. On our first day we went on a boat safari, on the second day on a full day game drive and on the third on a walking safari. We had a full board accomodation and we were also provided with food and drinks on our drives from and to Dar Es Salaam. We had an amazing time with our guides! They were very friendly, funny, professional and always concerned about our safety. We were well taken care of! I would definitely book another safari with these guys. Asante sana!
Response from the operator: Hello Anna, Thanks for the recommendation, we also appreciate for choosing Watu Safaris among many operators you may have chosen. Welcome back again as Tanzania still have a lot to offer

Why this scores 60
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
3 Days - Game Viewing Safari in Nyerere National Park: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Dar es Salaam.
How much does 3 Days - Game Viewing Safari in Nyerere National Park cost?
+
Prices start at $915 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Dar es Salaam usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does 3 Days - Game Viewing Safari in Nyerere National Park take?
+
Plan for about 72 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Dar es Salaam is not rushed.
Is 3 Days - Game Viewing Safari in Nyerere National Park worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 60 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 2 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Dar es Salaam, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 3 Days - Game Viewing Safari in Nyerere National Park?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is 3 Days - Game Viewing Safari in Nyerere National Park suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 72-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 3 Days - Game Viewing Safari in Nyerere National Park?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Dar es Salaam can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Dar es Salaam and add a light layer if any part of the 72-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 3 Days - Game Viewing Safari in Nyerere National Park start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Dar es Salaam within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Dar es Salaam?
+
On Outty we rank every Dar es Salaam experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include 2 nights 3 days safari to mikumi national park, 1-Day Mikumi National Park Fly-In Safari from Zanzibar, 3 Days Safari to Mikumi NP - Accommodation Inside the Park. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Dar es Salaam?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Dar es Salaam?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
