Amazing Tanzania Safari
Not knowing what to expect on this trip, I found it a great experience. Traveling of any sort, but especially international travel comes with its own headaches. In my experience, it's simply an unavoidable part of the whole package. Traveling with Gimag Safaris however, defied that assumption from day one. Working with Mary and Gilbert, the operators of Gilmag Safaris was a joy. They were quick to respond to any questions we had regarding our trip and were able to put together an outstanding itinerary, which made for a most memorable trip.
The tour covered Tarangire, Manyara, Ngorongoro, Serengeti and Lake Eyasi. A great wealth of animals during the tour was a highlight. The overall tour was made enjoyable by tour guide, Erick. We always knew what was happening and what was going to happen. A good choice of scenic areas!!!
Gilmag also recommended a short stay in Arusha after the tour, and this helped us a lot.
5* for Gilmag Safaris!!!

The Best Kenya and Tanzania Trip with Gilmag Safaris
My husband and I have had this trip to see the wildebeest migration on our bucket list for some time and we decided to go this year to coincide with our wedding anniversary.
From the first interaction with Mary and the Gilmag Safaris team I knew I could trust them with my safari plans. Mary was very prompt at answering many of our questions leading up to the trip. Communication was fantastic with all my requests and changes quickly addressed. They also provided great advice on accommodations and things to do. Gilmag Safaris planned our safari to East Africa and we were certainly in the right areas at the right time. Our itinerary was well designed to maximize time with the migration and related sightings.
We flew into the Maasai Mara from Nairobi and all flight connections and transfers to Serengeti were arranged for us and went like clockwork covering Kenya and Tanzania. The Hotels and lodges were beautiful and service second to none. We had some fabulous sightings with Amos and Gilbert - our very experienced tour guides from Kenya and Tanzania. They were excellent at anticipating the animals’ movements to ensure good photos.
A million thanks to Gilmag Safaris for making our dreams come true.

Amazing Gilmag Safaris
I worked with Mary and was so grateful for her personal touch! All communication was as if I was talking to a friend. She followed through with all our needs, budget and crazy flexible schedule! The game parks selected were excellent and we were well received and entertained throughout.
All the transfers were seamless and everything operated like clockwork - completely hassle and stress free. We would unreservedly recommend Gilmag Safaris and Mary who put together such a brilliant itinerary for us. Our guide, Erick was attentive and knowledgeable. Apart from wildlife tour, we also visited some very interesting cultural places of interest in Lake Eyasi.
Thank you Gilmag for this great organization.

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.

Gilmag Safaris delivered The Big 5 on the first day of safari
From the very first interaction with Mary via email and then WhatsApp, she responded to questions almost immediately. She assured me regarding my concerns. The package she created was perfect. The lodges were excellent and the arrangement of where we started and finished was great.
We spent seven days with our guide Nickson in Tanzania on safari and he made our trip memorable. He found us all of the Big Five within the first day!
The all-inclusive price was incredibly fair. My family greatly liked and enjoyed the excellent services offered by Gilmag Safaris. I would recommend Gilmag Safaris anytime. Their rates and willingness to make sure we got what we wanted was spot on!

Reliable and Efficient Operators
All my experience with Gilmag Safaris has been even over my expectations, both during planning and during the journey itself. Cannot recommend Gilmag Safaris highly enough! I interviewed several travel providers before going with Gilmag and the difference in service was night and day. Our contact, Mary listened carefully to our needs without trying to upsell us. We had a very ambitious itinerary planned, and Mary went out of her way to ensure the logistics—from dietary restrictions to several transfers went smoothly.
Mary helped me in figuring out the itinerary and accommodations that would have better fitted with my interests and desires with a particular care also about my cost target.
During the journey our contact person was easily reachable by phone and email to give me support. Our guide, Nickson was knowledgeable, extremely friendly and an absolute pleasure to be with. I totally recommend Gilmag Safaris to anyone planning a well-managed trip to Tanzania

Wonderful Safari
We just got back from exploring Tanzania and had a spectacular time! Gilmag Safaris is by far first class all the way. Everything was perfect from the time Gilbert picked us up at the Kilimanjaro airport until he dropped us off at the Seronera Airstrip to catch our flight to Zanzibar. Wonderful accommodations and food selection everywhere we stayed.
We had an amazing African experience where we saw all kinds of animals and witnessed lions strategizing, killing, stalking, etc....saw the big 5! The service we received was outstanding start to finish. Nothing but praise for this safari company.

Perfect Tanzania Safari and Zanzibar Beach Vacation
The communication between myself and Mary was on time, reliable and accurate. She was very accommodating to my requests. And everything that was mentioned in the itinerary was as it was and all on time! The lodges and tented camps booked were very comfortable and cozy. But of course, the safaris were the best part with Nickson as our guide. We took so many amazing pictures of the wildlife. The tour guide, Nickson, was the best - very knowledgeable and experienced - we'll never forget. The safari was perfect with real effort to find us all the animals we wanted to see, Nickson full of knowledge and willing to show us the best of Tarangire, Manayara, Ngorongoro and Serengeti. The food everywhere was amazing and we got a beautiful singing performance from the staff at Serengeti Serena Lodge.
A Gilmag Safaris tour is worthwhile if you want to experience the magic of Africa with reliable airport transfers both in Tanzania mainland and Zanzibar.
We'd recommend Gilmag Safaris to anybody and wouldn't hesitate to use them again.

Wonderful Tanzania Safari at a good price
I knew Gilmag Safaris through my friends who came on their trip in 2019. So I knew what to expect. But I must say; my expectations were exceeded. I absolutely loved this safari Company. Mary was really quick at responding to our correspondence and very helpful during the process of booking. Very straightforward and highly dependable. I liked the transparency from the first day and the professionalism in this company was awesome.
Our meet and greet at the airport was so friendly and helpful and put us immediately at our ease. Jimmy, our tour guide was very proactive, he briefly told us about all the animals we saw and even about some plants. He was always on the lookout for animals and made that extra effort to ensure we could see maximum animals. He was a very safe and reliable driver guide. These guys provide very good value for money ratio.
Thank you for giving us exceptional and profound memories, we will no doubt be back to see you again.

Hospitable, professional, knowledgeable
I had the pleasure of meeting the directors of Gilmag on my solo trip.... The kindest souls ever. They are so knowledgeable and between going site seeing between Arusha and Moshi including a visit to the beautiful Chemka springs, my trip could not have been anything short of remarkable. I 100% recommend Gilmag and I will be coming again.
