Eagle eyes help us to see the Big Five.
Our safari experience was truly unforgettable, and a huge part of that was thanks to our guide, Prosper. From Central Serengeti to Arusha, he demonstrated incredible knowledge of wildlife, sharp tracking skills, and a deep respect for nature. We were lucky enough to see the Big Five, and he always positioned the vehicle perfectly for both viewing and photography while making sure the animals were never disturbed.
What impressed us most was not just his professionalism, but his patience, awareness, and intuition. Prosper could read animal behavior, anticipate movement, and explain what we were seeing in a way that made every moment meaningful. When we witnessed a real hunt in the wild, he calmly guided us through what was happening, helping us understand the reality of nature beyond just spectacle.
Prosper is not only an excellent guide, but also a thoughtful, responsible, and passionate person who truly loves what he does. If you want a safari that is safe, insightful, and deeply authentic, you could not ask for a better guide. Highly recommended.

Absolutely amazing
I traveled with my old pals. I was contacted by the Chinese agent, Felix, who was very responsive in answering everything, even helping me out when my outbound flight got canceled. The local guide Eric is the best. He was very polite, punctual, careful, and knowledgeable. He kept the car very clean every day, and drive us around explaining not just the big five but everything we encountered, including little chameleon crossing the road, trees, birds. We absolutely enjoyed the game drive with him. We were also very impressed with the hotel/camp arrangement; no worries about hot water or WiFi… not to say cleanness. Everything is top notch. We would happily recommend it to everyone and come back with Gilmag next time.

A Relaxing Safari Adventure with Gilmag Safaris
I and my family members recently enjoyed an exceptional safari with Gilmag Safaris, based in Kenya and Tanzania, visiting Ngorongoro Crater, Serengeti, and Tarangire National Park. As a family of six, we had a magical, well-organized experience with affordable admission fees and a relaxed five-day itinerary.
The atmospheres varied beautifully: Serengeti's vast plains felt wild and free, Ngorongoro's crater was dramatic and intimate, and Tarangire's baobabs created a serene, timeless vibe. It wasn't overcrowded, making it perfect for bonding.
The staff shone—our knowledgeable, passionate tour guide shared engaging facts, while the skilled, patient driver ensured safe, comfortable navigation with a friendly touch.
Best for anyone seeking to reconnect with nature on a relaxed safari. Highly recommended for families or solo travelers!

Excellent service reasonable price
My friends and I just returned from Tanzania having completed a 12 day bush to beach safari. Everything exceeded our expectations. Our guide, Frank was knowledgeable and had good sense of humour. We saw all the Big 5 and much more.
We can't thank Gilmag Safaris enough for making our festive season trip a dream come true. I highly recommend Gilmag Safaris.

We had a wonderful adventure -- the best!!! I highly recommend booking your trip with gilmag safaris. They are quick to respond with helpful information. The trip was everything we wanted, and more. The guides in Rwanda and Tanzania were knowledgeable, informative, flexible, and fun and friendly. We saw animals, culture, country, wonderful people. Our guide in Tanzania made extra efforts for us to see "The Big Five". The lodging was clean, the food was delicious. These are truly professionals at Gilmag Safaris -- highly recommended. If I could, I would give them more than 5 stars!!!

Our Safari Highlight: Our Guide Siha from Gimag.
As Chinese travelers in Africa, safety is our top priority—especially since we're a group of four women. That’s why having a reliable guide matters so much.
Our guide, Siha, left a deep impression on us. With his kind and approachable demeanor, and though he’s around our fathers’ age, he’s full of youthful energy and passion.
We felt truly lucky to have Siha lead our safari. With over 20 years of experience, he knows the animals, terrain, and local culture inside out. Thanks to him, we learned so much and broadened our horizons.
What also stood out was his thoughtfulness. He quietly noticed we love chili sauce and Coca-Cola, and even brought us some at his own expense. When we expressed interest in seeing a leopard, he went out of his way to take us to different spots in search of one.
I’d wholeheartedly recommend Siha to anyone visiting. He’s enthusiastic, optimistic, driven, and makes you feel safe and cared for—a guide you can truly trust.

Amazing trip,amazing Gilmag
Thanks to Gilmag for arranging a perfect trip to Tanzania for us. The connection was very smooth from the beginning. The Chinese contact Felix was very professional and patiently answered every question. I would like to especially thank our guide Siha. He was an excellent guide. He was very professional and explained a lot of animal knowledge to us. He knew everything about Serengeti like an animal expert. We saw lions and cheetahs very close.He left early every day and was the last one back every day. He also brought tableware to provide us with hot lunch every day, which other people did not have.Our team was very satisfied with Siha.I highly recommend Siha, the best guide in the world.

Very good
If you're planning a trip to Tanzania, don't hesitate to choose Gilmag Safari. They have professional sales, professional guides, and excellent vehicles—everything is excellent.
I want to pay tribute to our guide, Siha. On our last day, when we told him we wanted to see a leopard, Siha did his best to help us find one, and he successfully found one in a tree. After returning to Arusha, we had a Chinese dinner with Siha. Thank you, and thank you to the Gilmag team.

see many animals, including the Big Five, a lion family and baby cheetahs
This safari was truly amazing and an unforgettable journey. I'm very grateful to the local travel agency for their meticulous arrangements. What surprised us the most was our guide, Siha, who was professional and responsible. He led us to see many animals, including the Big Five, as well as some breathtaking and heartwarming scenes like a lion family and baby cheetahs. Siha himself was humorous and fun, filling the entire trip with laughter. The accommodation booked by the local agency was also excellent, with great service. I highly recommend Gilmag Safaris—it will surely amaze you!
