unforgettable experience
Gladiola Adventure is a reputable agency. They answered all our questions to ensure we had the best possible road trip in Tanzania. The rental 4x4 was high-quality and comfortable.
Our driver, Nassari ("Mr. Everything's Fine"), was an excellent driver, especially on Tanzania's challenging roads.
Our French-speaking guide, David ("Mr. Ho là là"), was also available to answer all our questions.
David and Nassari make a great team. They are respectful, attentive to our needs, and truly took excellent care of us. They adapted our itinerary to our wishes and the flight delay.
They were our photographer and videographer.
We highly recommend them.

Fantastic experience!
We had three amazing days in Serengeti National Park and the Ngorongoro Crater. We saw the Big Five and truly enjoyed the stunning surroundings. Our wonderful driver and guide, George, made the experience complete!

Perfect adventure" ✅
I’ve done many self-drive trips across different African countries, renting all kinds of vehicles, and I must say that my experience with Gladiola was one of the best. The car was in perfect condition, with almost new tires, and all the camping gear was well maintained and fully functional. The team was incredibly kind, professional, and precise. Truly outstanding organization – well done, keep it up!

A wonderful 3 weeks safari in 4 national parksparks
For the second time we went on a trip through Tanzania. Gladiola Adventures arranged this trip for the most part and thanks to our fantastic guide/driver Reginald Mdhomba we had a fantastic trip of 3 weeks through 4 national parks. He drove us safely through the country, had nice initiatives, a lot of knowledge about nature and animals and solved all problems that occurred. Every now and then there was a mistake with the reservations but this was also solved smoothly by Gladiola. And we had a lot of fun together.

Renting from Gladiola
This was our 4th time renting from Gladiola and as usual, everything was perfect. No issue whatsoever, we highly recommend them 👍

Good communication!
I rented the rav4 for 5 days and took it to a wildlife management area. The car did the job, but most importantly the communication was timely and professional. When a problem occurred with the spare tire mount, the company was quick to respond and helped me find someone nearby who was able to help. They did not charge me anything for the fix as the issue was due to the tire mount being rusty. I appreciated the way the situation was handled as it could easily have been difficult.

Gladiola delivered for us
Hi, Gladiola and Didas were very patient, honest and transparent in their planning for us and all was as described. Reggie our guide was so very helpful informative and good at planning. We appreciated them arriving with a car full of snacks @ cold water! Vehicles were good but not brand new that said they were standard in keeping with all other trucks we saw which get some hard wear and tear. Large and robust and great windows and opening roof. Reggie knowledge was crucial and his driving style was safe and reliable on difficult terrain.

"Unprofessional & Unreliable Safari Experience"
I would not recommend Gladiola Adventure to anyone planning a safari. They don’t own any vehicles and rely entirely on renting from others. Worse, they fail to pay the vehicle owners, leaving many frustrated and unpaid.
The vehicles they use are often in poor condition, which not only affects the comfort of the trip but also raises serious safety concerns. It’s clear they don’t prioritize proper maintenance or quality service.
This level of unprofessionalism is unacceptable, and I strongly advise choosing a more reliable and trustworthy safari company for your adventure.

Wonderful safari experience
The two of us had an absolutely wonderful time for almost three weeks on our roadtrip through Tanzania, visiting several parks. We stayed overnight at most lovely and sometimes remote situated tented-camps. The Tanzanian hosts were always very friendly and helpful. We saw the amazing nature, many, many animals and also the culture of the people.
Our guide, driver and travelling companion, with a good sense of humour, Reggie (‘Wiki Reggie’), had all the information you could wish for on the animals, landscapes, and so much more, so a big round of applause for him!
We thank owner Didas and his team a lot for the personal attention, advice and service, in advance and throughout our roadtrip, All the necessary communication went super fast!
Asante sana to all of you!
