Accommodating, welcoming, warm, knowledgeable and insightful
From the beginning, organising the trip was very simple, smooth and easy.
Cuthbert was extremely patient with us as he made around 5 itineraries, making sure we saw all the main spots we needed within the time frame we had.
They were the only company accommodating a 6 month old baby, otherwise we would not have been able to do the safari.
Upon arrival at the airport, we were kindly greeted by 3 people including Cuthbert which gave us a lot of calm and ease since we were communicating with him for beforehand.
Our driver John made us comfortable from the moment we met him with his warm smile, joyous personality and bubbly patient bright character.
He had a large car ready with a baby seat which was very thoughtful, as well as plenty of water, snacks and a fridge.
We started our trip to lake Manyara where he was a perfect tour guide explaining key things about the locals on the way, as well as detailed knowledge about the national park and landscape historically.
He took us to our hotels on our trip, waited patiently for us in the mornings and found all the animals we wanted to see in the Serengeti.
He didn’t pressure us at any times, even holding the baby for us who loved him very much.
He showed us the best spots in Ngorongoro and even arranged a visit to a Masai village for us.
He constantly stopped to accommodate the baby’s needs and never once made us feel pressured or a burden.
He was by us all the way until the end where I was a little ill and even arranged another flight just in case.
I massively recommend anyone looking to book to use these guys as it was genuinely an unforgettable experience, and we’re already planning a return trip starting from Kilimanjaro this time

Outstanding 4-Day Safari with Wilderness Insights Safaris
We are two couples from the UK and had an absolutely incredible 4-day safari with Wilderness Insights Safaris, visiting Lake Manyara, Ndutu (2 nights), and the Ngorongoro Crater.
From the very beginning, everything was perfectly organised — smooth transfers, excellent accommodation, and a well-planned itinerary that made the most of every day. Each destination offered something special: beautiful scenery and tree-climbing lions in Lake Manyara, amazing wildlife encounters in Ndutu, and the unforgettable experience of descending into the Ngorongoro Crater.
Our guide, John, truly made this safari exceptional. His knowledge of wildlife, parks, and local culture was outstanding. He always knew where to find the animals and took time to explain what we were seeing. John was professional, friendly, patient, and made us feel safe and well cared for throughout the trip. His driving skills and respect for wildlife were excellent.
We saw an incredible variety of animals, including lions, elephants, cheetahs, giraffes, zebras, wildebeest, and many more — far beyond our expectations. The safari vehicle was comfortable and well maintained, and meals and lodges were excellent.
We highly recommend Wilderness Insights Safaris to anyone planning a safari in Tanzania. This was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again. Thank you, John and the entire Wilderness Insights team, for unforgettable memories!

A Real-Life NatGeo Experience in the Serengeti
John was an exceptional guide for our 4 days in Serengeti National Park. We did multiple game drives, and like everyone else, we hoped to witness all of the Big Five—and John was more than eager to make that happen. His knowledge of the park was outstanding. He knew the best spots and constantly coordinated with other guides to ensure we reached locations where the action was happening live.
The entire experience felt like a real-life NatGeo episode—raw, powerful, and deeply humbling. Being so close to the wilderness truly reminded me of the hierarchy of the food chain and left a lasting impact on me.
John was also incredibly thoughtful and attentive. He made sure I had vegetarian food everywhere we stayed, took some amazing photos for us, and ensured we were comfortable and safe throughout the journey. I will definitely visit again, next time with my kids, and I know without a doubt that I can trust John to plan everything perfectly with great safety measures. Highly recommended!

Incredible guide. Fantastic experience.
John is simply the best. Hands down one of my best travel experiences.
Booking a safari is a big deal. And so much of it depends on the trust you build with your guide before and during the experience. John made our trip one of the best we’ve ever taken - and we’ve traveled a lot.
He’s professional, friendly, and - importantly - knows what he’s doing. He’s a trained guide, when many of the others are drivers without the knowledge of nature. He consistently found the best spots all while respecting nature and the animals. On safari, this is so important to the experience - we all want those great shots, but it can’t come at the expense of blocking animals from hunting or stressing them out. John got us the amazing up close moments while keeping a profound respect for the parks and its animals. It felt so good to come away knowing that we did it right. That’s thanks to John.
Additionally, he’s warm and friendly and open. We got so lucky - and you’d be so lucky to be reading this right now and choose him :)
