We were able to… read more visit Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro, Serengeti and Tarangire. Mary also went above and beyond in helping us schedule a COVID test that has to be done in the middle of safari due to USA requirements at the time for returning home.

Cheetah, lion, buffalo, wildebeest, warthog, zebra, impala, gazelle, elephant, rhino, hippo, giraffe, hyenas, dikdik, just to name a few! The cheetahs were my favorite, they were such pretty, curious animals! The seemingly endless amount of zebra and wildebeest on the “endless plains” was a sight I’ll never forget. Too many great things to say. Gilmag was perfect. Oh and the accommodations were way beyond expectation. Felt like resort stays with incredible hospitality too. Spoiled by Gilmag and the Tanzanians, my friends and I had the safari of a lifetime!

We did a 3 night, 4 day safari and they successfully packed in many sites: Tarangire, Ngorongoro, Serengeti, lake Manyara. Our driver was Nickson who was wonderful, attentive to our needs and totally reliable. 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.

Some of the reasons:
–… read more Very affordable package compared to all other safari companies offering the same. They are a local company that started 3 years ago looking to build their profile.
– Excelent Serena hotels and we had a free hotel upgrade (+$100 more expensive)

– Gilbert took us to non-tourist areas in Serengeti (research area). We saw +10 cheetahs and lions in one day.
– Very experienced guide, Gilbert had +7 years experience. He had great communication with other guides that gave him an advantage finding animals (lions, leopards, cheetahs).
– The car quality was excellent.

In summary, we feel really lucky to have picked up this company for our safari.

Thanks Gilbert and Mary.
