Thompson family safari with Gideon to Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro and Serengeti - Dec 2015-Jan 2016
We travelled with Gideon for six days throughout Manyara, Ngorongoro and Serengeti as a family of five - us two parents and three grown-up children. By unanimous vote it has been our best family vacation ever!!! I lived in Tanzania for nine years in total and had visited the northern parks many times but hadn't been back for more than 25 years. Gideon made the journey special even for an old hand like me and even more so for the rest of the family. We knew what we wanted - we didn't want to go to Tarangire in December when the grass would be tall and the animals difficult to see. We did want to experience the migration and also spend a night at Serena Hotel on the edge of the crater. Gideon gave us all we could have asked for and even more. We went into parts the Serengeti I had never been to before. He adjusted our travel plans day by day to ensure that we would experience the best game viewing possible. When we were staying on the border area between Ngorongoro and Serengeti he bought passes for both parks simultaneously so that we could move freely from one park to the other. He has an incredible gift for spotting and identifying animals at great distances. Just about every day, after seeing lions, leopards, cheetahs, elephants and tens of thousands of plains animals we came across cars from the more established companies with disconsolate guides asking if we had seen anything interesting that day. Gideon would always graciously swap updates on locations and sightings. Two things that made our holiday though were (1) Gideon's passion for what he does and (2) his desire to make our safari the best it could possibly be. Gideon loves his work. He has such a strong attachment to this part of the world which is close to where he grew up. It means so much to him and he simply loves to share it with his guests. It made the whole safari experience a deeply personal one for all of us, one that none of us will ever forget!

Serengeti and Ngorongoro safari
Had a wonderful time with Gideon safaris! Gideon is very attentive and responsive to his clients needs and questions. He also was very understanding of a payment issue and went out of his way to ensure we got things taken care of. We did have to wait for a ride transfer and for the driver to fill up fuel, but we still made the flight with plenty of time. I’d say punctuality could be improved. Overall Gideon Safaris pinches above its weight for its size and I was impressed with the service.
Our safari was an incredible experience and the parks lived up to their names. Leo, our driver, was also a wonderful guide and person. He took great care of us and was very knowledgeable regarding the park and it’s animals, tanzania history, etc. It was a pleasure to get to know him and spend time with him in his beautiful country.
Highly recommended!
