Great experience and wildlife with brilliant
If you are looking for a small, local and personal tour operator, Brilliant safaris is your choice. We booked a 8 day safari and 4 day Zanzibar stay for a young couple. Communication beforehand with Gladys was smooth and quick. She tailored the trip to all our wishes and recommended some good changes, all within our budget. All our transfers were arranged and on time. The stays were 'standard' options but already feld like luxury to us. Good food and hot lunches every day.
During our safari it was just us, the indestructible car and our guide Aaron for 8 days straight. We did not need anything else because Aaron was a great driver, guide and nice to talk too. We had a lot of fun, Mambo vipi and Kwaherrie rafiki!
We also saw all the animals we could think off. Big 5 (about 100 lions), thousands of zebra's, wildebeest and Antilope's, many giraffes and elephants. few cheetahs and leopards and a crocodile eating a wildebeest during the river crossing. Amazing wildlife in the Serengeti, would highly recommend!

It was a truly great trip, an unforgettable experience with an all-round carefree package
A fantastic trip, well planned in advance by the Brilliant office. Communication was excellent. The selected accommodations were fantastic, with delicious food. The guide, Aron, was absolutely fantastic; he showed us countless animals and explained a lot. Our children (8, 10, and 12 years old) were also thrilled, and Aron was absolutely fantastic.

Excellent bespoke safari with an incredibly knowledgable guide.
A ten day safari with no two days being the same. Amazing wildlife encounters and the guide Freddy knew what to look for and could explain everything about the landscape and the wildlife.
An amazing immersive experience and we’ll organised with getting to and from the airport and accommodation.

Bony was an absolute gentleman
My wife and I just finished a 5 day safari trip with Brilliant Safaris.
It was the best trip we have ever had front start to finish.
The vehicle was well equipped for the job and the driver Bony was a legend.
We were unsure who to pick when we researched safaris online, but we are so happy with our choice.
Absolutely Unforgettable Safari Experience with Brilliant Safaris! (Tuma as guide)
My girlfriend and I recently returned from a 6-day safari in Tanzania followed by a 4-day beach stay in Zanzibar, and we can confidently say that choosing Brilliant Safaris was one of the best travel decisions we’ve ever made. It was our very first safari, so we were completely new to the experience and knew we’d be relying heavily on our guide and we truly couldn’t have asked for anyone better than our guide, Tuma. Additionally, Lightness, who handled all our booking and administrative arrangements, was an absolute star - she guided us through every step of the process with professionalism and warmth, was very responsive to our questions (average 1-day response time) and made planning, payment and logistics stress free.
From the moment we met them, they made us feel like family. Tuma was warm, friendly, and instantly put us at ease. By day one, it already felt like we were travelling with an old friend — one who had an encyclopaedic knowledge of wildlife, landscapes, and Tanzanian culture. Whether it was identifying birds in the distance, explaining animal behaviour, or sharing fascinating stories about local traditions, every moment with him was both fun and educational.
We booked The Great Migration package, and thanks to Tuma’s exceptional timing and navigation skills, we managed to witness hordes of Wildebeests embark on two river crossings in just three days, both from incredible, up-close vantage points. On top of that, we saw the Big Five and practically all the must-see animals by our second day.
As a keen photographer, I was especially grateful for how Tuma tailored the trip around my desire to capture great wildlife shots. He positioned the vehicle perfectly for lighting, patiently waited for the right moments, and always went above and beyond to ensure I got the best possible photographs.
The entire experience was seamless — from the comfortable accommodations and delicious meals to the perfectly planned itinerary that balanced adventure and relaxation. Brilliant Safaris truly lived up to its name in every sense, delivering a once-in-a-lifetime experience that exceeded all expectations.
We wholeheartedly recommend Brilliant Safaris to anyone considering a safari in Tanzania. Whether it’s your first or your tenth, you’ll be in the best possible hands — and if you’re lucky enough to have Tuma as your guide, prepare for an unforgettable adventure filled with breathtaking moments, expert insight, and genuine Tanzanian warmth.
