Nice people that delivered everything we asked for
We had contact through email about our tour planning. Reponse was very fast with nice recommondations. The tour guide was very friendly and drove very safe. We had a great time in all the parks we visited (Ngorongoro, Arusha, Lake Manyara and Tarangire). Next time we will book again with Gladiola!

Great people for great adventures
We did a szlf drive safari last February with Gladiola adventures and we were thrilled Didas has been nothing but unfailing to us. He spent a lot of time planning the safari day by day and we ended up following his suggestions to the letter because he was right. We were indeed planning way to much. He has also been very reactive when the car had a little defect. He replied to us immediately and sent someone to help us on a very short notice. So he is knowledgeable, helpful and reliable. No hesitation here!

Trustfull company and people
Everything was working fine with Gladiola but especially with the owner Didas.
We rent a toyota Landcruiser on self drive to get into Serengeti for 4 days.We took contact with Didas, got a fast answer, payment was made as fast.
Arriving in Arusha i wanted to see the owner, Didas was very friendly, no problem appear, the car was then a few day later brought to Karatu, return was also in Karatu, the driver was punctual, paid me the 300 USD Bond back on return day.
I would recommend Gladiola without hesitation.
Thank you Didas

6 days self drive and camping in Ngorongoro and Serengeti
We just came back from a 6 days self driving safaris trip and camping in the Ngorongoro and the Serengeti National park !
Gladiola have been simple perfect, from the booking, the car delivery, the Land-cruiser with roof tent that we hired as well as the follow up as we were driving in the parks. Lalashe was on call H24 for us, and ready to assist or answer our questions immediately !
This was simple above my personal expectations.
We are already thinking about our next trip in the region, and I already know that I will not look anywhere else for the rental.

We hired a jeep and guide for a day trip to Arusha National Park.
Good communication, very responsive and helpful owner, Didas. Reasonably priced and very happy with our guide Michael. So it was a successful day, saw everything we wanted including the Flamingoes. I thought the jeep was a little bit old, but it did the job well. Would consider a longer trip next time we come to Tanzania.

4th time to Tanzania. Gladiola Adventures is the ABSOLUTE best!
I’ve now been to Tanzania four times and after using Gladiola Adventures on my second visit I never looked back. We asked for and were assigned Lalashe Mollel on each trip. Why? Because seeing Tanzania through the eyes of (and heart of ) Lalashe is experiencing the country through the eyes of a brother. Mr. Mollel, who is Maasai, has over 8 years experience in leading safaris and his knowledge of the flora and fauna is boundless. Your experience with Gladiola will NOT only be a visit to see an amazing country and its unbelievable wildlife but an insight into what makes the country such a welcoming destination: its people. Didas the owner, Simon and the company’s other drivers who did airport pick up all reflect the same qualities we found in Lalashe. The vehicles are checked EVERY evening and tuned up but then this is a company that puts its clients’ safety at the forefront. I can’t recommend Gladiola Adventures enough. Asante sana, Gladiola.

4x4 rental for self drive safari
We rented two vehicles from Gladiola. We recommend them 100%. We have changed our plans several times, but they have always been very reactive and accommodating. Vehicles in good condition. We compared with several rental agencies in Arusha, we are very happy with our choice.

Best service!
I hired a RAV4 for Mkomazi and daytrips to Kilimanjaro-Area. The communication via WhatsApp was perfect. Very quick and kind replies, pointed and exactly tailored to my question. Price and Car were super. Highly recommended!

Self Drive for 10 Days
We rented a Rav4 for self-drive for 10 days in February. Didas was great before, during and after answering my MANY questions. The car itself had a lot of mileage (200,000 km), but worked fine! There was free delivery of the car to our hotel in Arusha, we then left it at our hotel near the airport (for a fee). Our security deposit was refunded right away when the car was returned. During the time that we had the car we drove to Lake Manyara, Arusha park, Lake Diluti, coffee plantations near Moshi etc. We had planned to go to Lake Eyasi, but the roads were too difficult for us. In retrospect, it would have been better had we hired a driver/guide for at least half the time (for Lake Eyasi and Lake Manyara), and then done the other part on our own. We rented the car in early February, after it had been raining a lot, and some of the roads were flooded and difficult for us. Having an experienced driver on hand would have allowed us to enjoy the trip more. However we strongly recommend the company.
