Baker Safari Company

A charming and delightful experience! We absolutely loved our time at Baker & Sons Safari. We spent 5 days in the well supplied stone cabin and found ourselves impressed with every detail; my wife was constantly pointing out its "lovely character." Imagine sitting in the morning on the balcony having coffee as the wildlife puts on their best show. We joked that the colubus monkeys might be on the payroll. Our evenings were spent watching the sun go down on the Rufiji river and listening to the hippos, making themselves heard. Everything was clean and immaculate. The manager Moses made sure that all our needs were met. We wished we had brought more family along to experience what we shared. Big Thanks for a great time, Baker and Sons!

The Bakers are great hosts and the staff at the lodge were friendly and knowledgeable. The food was delicious and thoughtfully chosen and prepared, with generous portions. We enjoyed the beautiful location, our day in the park, and our boat safari. We saw some beautiful birds, crocodiles, hippos, giraffes, elephants, and hyenas, among other animals, and enjoyed the colobus that hung around the lodge. One of the best things about using their company is they picked us up in Dar es Salaam and drove us to the lodge and back, creating a hassle-free experience (and protecting our car from the road :)).

The accommodations were super fun rustic-style huts, beds comfy, shower Ok. Our food was plentiful, excellent and quite western, on the river location with lots of crocs and hippos, great staff. Loved the nostalgic record player, old records and monkeys surrounding us! . The Safari was very good and fishing made my husband’s day. If you are expecting a guided experience you might consider it more of a boat experience and you should be experienced yourself and bring your own gear. Many tiger fish were hooked, but few landed. Plan on fishing amongst wonderful wildlife and lots of crocs! The man-killing lion tour on the way home needed more of a tie-in to the Lodge and could be shortened up. We had a great time and the Bakers were easy to work with!

We had an amazing experience staying at this lodge; the sunset cruise and game drive were awesome! The service was outstanding, accommodations very comfortable, quiet, and the food was great. I would come back again and recommend to friends and family.

The customer service is very good. Moses did a great job.He got us everything we needed. Everything was on schedule. The food is very good and plentiful. The Rufiji River is beautiful. Each activity - the boat ride, game drive, hike, hot water springs - was well thought out and fun and informative. We would definitely return.

Beautiful game lodge 10 minutes from Selous park gates and airstrip. We stayed in the family lodge which accommodates 6 people in a double bed and 2 bunks. Excellent service and food. Selous Game reserve did not disappoint the moment we drove through the gates we saw giraffes followed by monkeys, hippos, crocodiles, a leopard, elephants, impalas, zebra, wilderbeast and boars. Our guide Gervas and driver Nasoro really made the safari extra special with their knowledge and experience. With their advice we waited for the elephants and they passed right by us. We choose Selous over The Serengeti and it did not disappoint. It feels authentic and there are only a few other jeeps that we came across during the day. Do not hesitate to book Baker and Co. It was an amazing experience from the first time we contacted the company to the advice on booking the safari and the best way to get there right through to the actual safari.
