We made a tailor made roundtrip through Kenya and Tanzania, starting with private safaris in Masai Mara, through the… read more Northern and Central Serengeti, the Tarangire and the Amboseli National Park. Heading back to Nairobi we flew into Mombasa to end our trip with 5 nights at Nyali beach. This trip was just amazing, we enjoyed every second and we will never forget this adventure:-)

We chose a travel schedule as a basic but had some individual wishes so we reached out to Gilmag for an individual schedule. Mary was just awesome in tailoring our itinerary and she arranged literally every detail for our trip.

Our Kenyan guide Francis picked us up at Nairobi airport and guided us through Masai Mara. A beautiful time and a great start into our tour. We stayed at Masai Mara Sopa Lodge.
After 3 days Francis took us to the boarder where our Tanzanian guide and friend Gilbert had already been waiting for us. We went to the Mara river, stayed two days at the Northern Serengeti and another two days at Central Serengeti. We stayed at the Mbugani Camps which was just amazing! Afterwards we stayed two days at Tarangire NP (Tarangire Simba Lodge) before we immigrated back to Kenya. We completed our safari with one more night at Amboseli Sopa Lodge where we said goodbye to Tanzania with a beautiful view to Kilimanjaro.

Out safaris were really breathtaking, unforgettable and simply perfect. We’ve been to Africa 4 times before so our expectations were certainly high, but we can say that Gilmag managed to exceed our expectations by far. The great migration, bid herds of lions including lots of cups, several leopards even with cups, cheetahs, hippos, crocodiles and even a rhino, Gilbert spotted all of these animals and offered us sceneries which were fantastic. We had a great time, a lot of adventure, fun and unforgettable memories.

After safari we went to Voyager Hotel at Nyali beach where we relaxed for some days. We went from Nairobi to Mombasa by plane and even the transfer to our hotel had been perfectly arranged by Gilmag.

You will be closer to wildlife than you’ve probably been before, but due to experienced guides you will always feel very safe and secure. You will find lovely management, fantastic service and if you are lucky and have Gilbert as a guide you will have the best guide in the Serengeti.
