Absolutely fantastic
I did a tour to Mahale mountains, I had to cancel twice but was determined to go so I went at the beginning of February. From when I booked the tour until after the tour, the communication was superb, the organisation of the tour was amazing and the tour itself was incredible, I can’t compliment the company enough, I highly recommend Gogiraffe safaris to anyone visiting Tanzania.
Trip of a Lifetime
Our family safari truly was a trip of a lifetime from start to end. Luice was prompt in his response to my inquiry, questions and ensuring every detail was addressed. Alfa, our driver, provided outstanding service. Not only did he guarantee our safety on the roads, but he also impressed us with his extensive wildlife knowledge and exceptional spotting abilities. Thanks to his keen eye, we observed a diverse array of animals, including elephants, lions—highlighted by a memorable sighting of a lioness with her cubs—giraffes, zebras, and many more species in their natural habitats. The accommodation arranged for us was both comfortable and welcoming. The staff consistently went out of their way to be helpful, enhancing our overall experience. A particularly thoughtful aspect was how Luice communicated my daughter’s food allergies to the lodges in advance, ensuring that her dietary needs were met and she was well cared for throughout our stay. Among the many highlights, the breathtaking scenery offering us a window into Tanzania's natural beauty. The safari hot air balloon ride, which provided unique and unforgettable views of the landscape and wildlife from above. I wholeheartedly recommend Go Giraffe Safari for anyone seeking adventure, educational opportunities, and outstanding service.

Reliable, polite and friendly
Excellent treatment!
We booked a 3-night tour to Gombe National Park and Kigoma Town. Chimp trekking is a unique activity and Kigoma Town is very interesting.
Everything was made easy for us and Luice and his team replied immediately to all of our queries. We were also suggested alternatives when things took an unexpected turn!
I definitely recommend.

Excellent organisation and services
Go Giraffe Safaris organized a 20-days safari for us which we enjoyed very much despite long trips on bumpy roads. 3 car issues were resolved perfectly by our driver Alfar with adhering to the schedule of the trip. Our guide Kilala was excepcional. His knowledge about the Tanzanian nature is extraordinario and our conversations about cultures were very pleasant and informative. We felt like travelling with friends and both Kilala and Alfar fullfilled all our wishes, such as going to a bookshop or spending extra time when watching anímals or taking fotos of animals and landscape. The safari was really memorable.

Experienced and always in contact with us .
My wife, a friend, and I contacted GoGiraffe to organize a 10-day trip to western Tanzania. Our goal was to visit Katavi National Park, Mahale, and Gombe. When designing the tour, I really appreciated Luice's promptness: he was easy to reach and quick to respond to our requests. The area we wanted to visit is the least visited in Tanzania, and the parks are difficult to access, yet they guarantee very few tourists. In the three parks we visited, we were almost always alone! We met Luice upon arrival by ferry from Zanzibar and immediately appreciated his punctuality and constant communication via wupp, which made us feel safe and well looked after. We flew to Mpanda, where we met the local driver and guide. We agreed on a medium-budget tour, so we slept in the park's Bandas. The accommodation was simple but decent, as was the food offered at the Bandas' restaurant. The park is fantastic, and we saw all the expected animals, with the sole exception of the lions. We never encountered any other tourists and thoroughly enjoyed the two-day safari. From Katavi, we traveled to Mahale. It's almost impossible to get there directly because the road conditions are terrible, but the journey is a great opportunity to observe local life and people. Then, we stopped in Kigoma, where we thoroughly enjoyed the beautiful Kigoma Hilltop Hotel with its lake views, a gorgeous pool, and an excellent restaurant! The next day, another long and beautiful drive to Mahale, including a very picturesque ferry ride—an incredible experience immersing ourselves in local life! Finally, we reached the park with a final 90-minute boat ride on Lake Tanganyika, admiring the stunning, pristine coastline. The scenery in Mahale is extraordinary: I felt like I was in Jurassic Park! In the park, we were supervised by Hussein Mavumila: a fantastic, expert, and very kind guide. The food was good, even better than in Katavi. The next day, Hussein and I began trekking in search of chimpanzees, whom we encountered and observed all morning. Incredible! The next day was a long journey: back to Kigoma to take the boat to Gombe. The journeys on this trip have always been long and not particularly comfortable, but, for me, they were the best moments in Africa because they allowed us to see real life, including fishing villages with Lake Tanganyika always in sight. Gombe National Park was founded by Jane Goodall to preserve and study chimpanzees. The Banda are very poor, so if you can, book a tent at the nearby camp: a little more expensive, but far cleaner and more comfortable! The next morning, another long hike in the forest, observing several relaxed chimpanzees, very busy eating and delousing. A fantastic day! After lunch, we decided to speed up our journey back to Kigoma to reach the comfort of the Kigoma Hilltop Hotel! This decision allowed us to be there the next day at 8:00 a.m. when the fishermen arrived from their night fishing expedition and spend a couple of hours admiring the local women selling sardines. A colorful and amazing sight! The morning concluded with a visit to the Kigoma train station (a very important piece of Tanzanian history), the Slave Route surrounded by enormous mango trees, and the very interesting Livingstone Museum, built on the site where Dr. Livingstone and Mr. Stanley met. Our trip concluded with a comfortable night in Dar, where we had the opportunity to enjoy a delightful dinner with Luice, learning a lot about Tanzania and future travel opportunities! Overall, our experience was very positive, knowing that this trip is not for everyone, but especially for experienced travelers. Visiting the less touristy part of Tanzania can be a bit of a hassle, but Luice's constant assistance through Wupp helped solve all the problems, and the reward is fantastic: we will cherish the beautiful images of people, nature, and landscapes for the rest of our lives!
