Unforgettable Experience !
We went on Safari for 5 days with Wilderness Insights and it was a pleasure for the whole time. Our guide John helped us to see so much of the fascinating african wildlife. He was always willing to adapt to spontaneous wishes and changes of plans of us. Furthermore, he told us a lot of interesting facts about the wildlife and Culture in Tanzania. We all really liked him and i can fully recommend booking a tour here. The accomodations, the food, the experiences- it couldn‘t have been any better and i Hope to repeat this wonderful experience in the future!

Excellent experience - 100% recommendable
I went on a safari to Tanzania with a friend of mine and the experience with Wilderness Insights Safaris was nothing but exceptional. John was a very experienced and knowledgable guide, who spoke several languages. We felt 100% safe all the time, no question about wildlife or landscape was left unanswered and John made the whole trip really enjoyable. He was very friendly and open and never got tired of giving us the best animal sightings and experiences.
Can't wait to come back!

unforgettable safari adventure
We had a fantastic safari with Wilderness Insights Safaris, full of wonderful and lucky wildlife sightings. Our guide, John, was exceptionally friendly and communicated the daily plans clearly, making sure everything went smoothly. He was always approachable, answered all our questions, and went out of his way to make the experience truly special. Even before the trip, we could ask all our questions and always received quick and helpful responses, which made planning easy and stress-free. We warmly recommend Wilderness Insights Safaris and John for an unforgettable safari adventure.

Our amazing experience with Wilderness Insights Safaris
My family and I hiked Mount Meru and went on a safari with Wilderness Insights Safaris.
From the beginning, we had a few special requests: We wanted to do a day summit on Mount Meru instead of the usual night summit. We also wanted to spend the nights in the order Mirakamba Hut – Saddle Hut – Saddle Hut instead of the usual route of Mirakamba Hut – Saddle Hut – Mirakamba Hut. John accommodated all of these requests and planned and implemented everything exactly as we had imagined.
Mount Meru
The hike up Mount Meru was beautiful – you cross different climatic zones, and we saw water buffalo, warthogs, many monkeys, and even giraffes along the way.
John's team was very friendly, and the two guides took excellent care of us. The food was also very good: every morning we had eggs, toast, porridge, and pancakes. For lunch and dinner, we always had soup, a meat dish with a side dish, salad, fruit for dessert, and hot water for tea. In addition, we were given warm water for washing every day after hiking.
On summit day, unlike all the other groups, we set off at 7 a.m. instead of midnight, at our request. This meant we were able to enjoy a stunning sunrise with Kilimanjaro in the background before breakfast. On the way up, our two guides and the summit porter took excellent care of us: They took our backpacks when someone was exhausted and took as many breaks as we needed. Once at the summit, we were completely alone and were able to enjoy the view for 30 minutes in peace, soak up the sun, and eat our snacks.
Safari: We did the safari with John himself. He was already waiting for us at the hotel when we arrived from Mount Meru and gave us a briefing on how the safari would proceed. On the first day of the safari, he picked us up from our hotel on time. The car was great and very clean (John also vacuumed it every day after the safari, etc.). The car also had a cooler with water, Coke, Coke Zero, white wine, and red wine. For the safari itself, we went to Tarangire, Serengeti, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro Crater. We saw an incredible number of animals—far more than I ever could have imagined. John made this already magical experience 100 times better: he explained a lot, had an answer to every question, was extremely knowledgeable about where to find which animals (we saw all of the Big 5), and somehow always managed to get us the best spot among all the safari vehicles, thus providing the best view of the animals. The food on the safari was also much better than expected: most of the other safari groups had boxed lunches, which I also expected. But John brought thermal dishes, which the hotel refilled every day, so we had hot (very good) food for lunch every day. My family and I thoroughly enjoyed Mount Meru and the safari. Both were unforgettable experiences, made even better by John's personable manner, experience, and planning. I highly recommend Wilderness Insights Safaris to everyone.

7 day great migration safari
The 7 day great migration safari with John Malley and Wilderness Insights Safaris was simply amazing. We saw a lot of animals thanks to our amazing guide John Malley, who did a perfect job. Ask for him, if you want to have a great experience. His knowledge about the animals and nature is superb. The accomodations and the safari car were also very nice. I have nothing to claim and all in all I woult totally recommend him for a safari trip.

Unforgettable safari with Wildness Insights—great planning by John and amazing guide Shedrack
We booked our safari with John from Wildness Insights Safaris, and the entire planning and organization process with him was smooth and easy. He was always available for any question and responded clearly and professionally. We felt we could truly rely on him, and even when challenges arose along the way, he always did his best to assist.
When we arrived, we met our guide, Shedrack. The experience with him was outstanding. He is a very kind and welcoming person, with extensive knowledge, deep passion for his profession, and genuine love for his country. He was eager to share his knowledge with us, making our journey even more meaningful. We always felt in good hands with him—he was attentive to our needs, gave immediate responses, and made great efforts to ensure we had the best possible safari experience.
We warmly recommend Wildness Insights Safaris

Unforgettable experience
I had an amazing time on the safari trip! Our guide, John, was incredibly sweet and wise, knowing how to answer all of our questions and dealing with our family silliness. We drove in the car that was very comfortable and was stocked with drinks in the fridge for us, the open roof was amazing, allowing us to have a much better experience, and the fact that the car had charging spots was a life saviour. I enjoyed the trip very much and I hope more people will get the opportunity to experience it like I did, especially when John is your guide you are promised for an unforgettable trip!

Best experience
I highly recommend John!
I reached out to John a few months ago after a friend recommended him, and asked him to plan a family trip that included safari, tribal visits, and Zanzibar.
From that point on, John took care of everything down to the smallest details and arranged an unforgettable experience for us.
He was always kind, polite, honest, and trustworthy – making us feel completely at ease throughout the journey.
Anyone who travels with John is truly in for a treat!
