  TRIP OF A LIFETIME WITH GUIDE NICKSON

I can’t say enough wonderful things about Gilmag Safaris! From first inquiry through the last day of our safari, everyone at the company was very accommodating and professional.

We were welcomed to Tanzania by the expert and professional team from Gilmag Safaris.
From the initial inquiry, nothing was too much trouble. I emailed Mary on many occasions, changing the itinerary; reducing and adding days as we fixed our flights. She always responded with good humor and with unbelievably remarkable speed.
The safari itself was an epic success. Our Guide Nickson is a very experienced guide and he really made the safari our best trip ever. Nickson is very knowledgeable and humble, so could tell us everything about animals, plants, birds and the history of Tanzania. It was impressive how he could spot animals from very far away. We really recommend Gilmag Safaris; and anyone planning a trip with them should specifically request Nickson as their guide. Most favourite spot was Mara River of Northern Serengeti. Food was outstanding throughout the trip and fully paid for by Gilmag Safaris. We even got free room upgrade at most facilities we stayed in.

We did a 3 night, 4 day safari and they successfully packed in many sites: Tarangire, Ngorongoro, Serengeti, lake Manyara.

He knew his way around all the sites and was clearly connected with all the other drivers in the park so could quickly zoom in on rare animal sightings. Staying at Eileen’s Tree Inn and our tented camp also were great choices for my family of 4.
