Wonderful people who know their stuff
Gilmag is a group of responsive people, they always provided me with the information I needed in a timely manner. They care and were really helpful in finding me the right package to fit my budget including the best affordable accommodations during my whole trip. We had the most friendly guy as our tour guide and we drove in a well kept and most rugged SUV I have ever riden, the scenary the services were spectacular, I can't wait to go back.

The safari was amazing
Our safari with Gilmag was amazing. From the first contact we made on-line through the website to inquire about options, we experienced highly professional and responsive service from Mary in the Gilmag’s office. Mary developed an excellent itinerary for us. We were met at the airport and had a fantastic 9-day safari. We were looked after by our experienced guide Gilbert. We saw amazing wildlife due to Gilbert’s experienced eyes. The game drives were wonderful with Gilbert’s unparalleled knowledge of the animals and nature, as well as his intuition for when to wait and watch and when to move on really added to our experience, meaning we observed many animals before any other vehicles arrived. We stayed in excellent accommodation, the tented camps being an absolute highlight. I would unreservedly recommend a safari tour with Gilmag Safaris.

I was given the adventure of a lifetime!
My experience with Gilmag safaris was unparalleled by any other company. I have travelled to many destinations, and used many tour operators over the last ten years, and have never been met and catered to in the way that I have with this tour company. The professionalism that i encountered was far beyond most companies, and Mary's personal touch to ensure that all of my flight connections, accomodation, and airport transfers confirmed that I was dealing with the best tour operator in Tanzania. In the future I will only use Gilmag Safaris, for the African adventures I crave.

PERFECT AND SEAMLESS TANZANIA SAFARI
We found Gilmag Safaris online while looking for that 'perfect' safari itinerary to Tanzania, and we were not disappointed. We have had the pleasure of embarking on a remarkable journey organized by Mary! From start to finish, every aspect of my experience was meticulously planned, ensuring an unforgettable adventure that exceeded all my expectations. From the moment I contacted Mary, her commitment to customer satisfaction was evident. The booking process was seamless and efficient, with her guiding me through various itinerary options and providing valuable insights into each destination. Her attention to detail and willingness to customize the tour to suit my preferences truly set Gilmag Safaris apart. Accommodations provided by the tour operator were nothing short of exceptional. We stayed in wonderful accommodations that all had that bit of a wow factor and in amazing settings.
We really enjoyed our 8 day tour with guide Gilbert, which extended to Northern Serengeti, where we witnessed millions of wildebeest crossing the Mara River from Serengeti National Park to Mara Game Reserve. This was a real highlight of our trip. If you're seeking an unforgettable journey filled with remarkable experiences, cultural immersion, and seamless organization, I highly recommend choosing Gilmag Safaris.

4 Day Luxury Serena Safari
We travelled to Tanzania for our honeymoon in December. After doing a lot of research on different companies we decided to contact Gilmag and we were not left disappointed. Everything from initial enquiry was handled excellently. Mary communicated with us throughout, providing us with a detailed itinerary and coordinating airport transfers. We arrived in Kilimanjaro airport very tired after our wedding in Ireland, our guide Nixon was there to collect us and our dream safari started from there! As we were quite tired Nixon suggested to sleep on the drive, which we managed quite easily because the jeep was very comfortable. Once awake to filled with fresh Tanzanian coffee we entered Lake Manyara - we were amazed at everything we got to see. Over the next three days we also went to Ngorongoro Crater, Serengeti national park and Tarangire National Park. All the parks were unique, each offering us a truly amazing experience. The real highlight of our trip was our amazing guide Nixon - Nixon has a wealth of knowledge but also of spirit, we loved spending time driving around with him and hearing his stories. He made our honeymoon dream come true, showing us sights we only dream of.
Other things to note; our packed lunch each day was delicious and our accommodation fantastic. I wouldn't hesitate recommending Gilmag, in fact, my parent are planning a safari next year and I will be making sure they book with Gilmag.
We finished our trip by visiting Mary in her beautiful home before going for a traditional Tanzanian BBQ with our guide and friend, Nixon.

Very satisfied of our experience!
We had a great safari experience thanks to Gilmag. We had just 5 days but we maximized our time thanks to their suggestions and to our guide Nickson. His expertise was one of the keys of pur beautiful trip and we’ve been very satisfied of what we’ve done and seen. The days spent in Ngorongoro and in Serengeti will stay in our hearts forever

Unforgettable Tanzania Safari
My wife, son and I had the experience of a lifetime with Gilmag Safaris during our fifteen-day tour of Arusha, Tarangire, Manyara, Ngorongoro, Serengeti and Zanzibar. All correspondence before, during, and after our tour was timely, personal and professional.
Every moment; from my first email, to my constant, "what if we did this", to even the ‘I HOPE YOU LANDED SAFELY BACK HOME’ ... this level of caring only comes from people who love their country and love to make sure everyone who comes there has the time of their lives.. Mary worked with us to tailor the tour and it was wonderful.
Nickson was the crown jewel of the tour—polite, incredibly informative, very intelligent and friendly in his conversation and explanations; helpful beyond any reasonable expectation. He met us at the Kilimanjaro International airport with a big smile which never left. He is also an excellent driver. The accommodations chosen by Gilmag Safaris were wonderful; beautiful facilities, hospitable and excellent staffs. We’ll always remember the tour with fondness and we’ll never forget our guide, Nickson.
Without Gilmag’s precise planning, time management, connections, and passion for Tanzania, we would have missed many learning opportunities. By the end of our adventure, we had fallen in love with the people, food, music and beauty of Tanzania and Zanzibar
Thank you Gilmag Safaris for being a part of our blessed journey!!

Professional and fun
MEMORABLE TANZANIA AND ZANZIBAR HOLIDAY.
We booked our safari to Tanzania and Zanzibar with Mary from Gilmag Safaris couple of months before we came to Tanzania. Mary was really helpful. She helped us to plan day by day program and was very flexible to edit and make changes according to our needs and budget.
Tanzania as a country is amazing, we felt really safe, the scenery is beautiful and seeing giraffes trek by during sunset at Kubu Kubu Lodge is a memory of a lifetime.
Our guide, Gilbert was the best. He made sure we saw everything exciting. Our highlight was the mother leopard with her cub, what a sight! Zanzibar was equally amazing – 5* accommodation with excellent food. Kudos to Gold Zanzibar. We ended up having a truly positive and memorable trip.
Thank you Gilmag Safaris for your excellent service delivery.

AMAZING TANZANIA SAFARI
We spent 7 days in Tanzania on our first international trip as boyfriend and girlfriend. It was amazing! At first, it seemed too expensive, but afterwards, we realized how much value we got out of it and how much we were able to see and learn with our guide who knew exactly where to take us and pretty much was a Tanzania encyclopedia for that matter.
By the time we landed at the airport, our tour guide, Nickson was already waiting in the arrivals area with the sign. We had a free day before our tour started and Gilmag Safaris provided a full day, private tour of Arusha City. Every pickup was on time and effortless. Everyone spoke clear English and was easy to understand.
What an experience!!! Great culture. Great experience. But what made it so enjoyable and such a great experience is Mary. She owns the company and serves you like no other can. Nice, outgoing, modern safari vehicle and great service. You are safe and secure with this company.
Overall, we had a great experience; the wonderful sights and sounds of Ngorongoro and Serengeti Parks. Best customer service I've experienced in a very long time. 100% recommended!
