Our holiday with Gilbert as tourguide is one I will never forget. He had lots of knowledge, his English was excellent and it really seemed like he was enjoiing the jouney as well. Good memories.

Once in a lifetime experience
5/5

We’ve had a once in a lifetime experience with Gilmag Safaris. We made a tailor made roundtrip through Kenya and Tanzania, starting with private safaris in Masai Mara, through the Northern and Central Serengeti, the Tarangire and the Amboseli National Park. Heading back to Nairobi we flew into Mombasa to end our trip with 5 nights at Nyali beach. This trip was just amazing, we enjoyed every second and we will never forget this adventure:-)

We chose a travel schedule as a basic but had some individual wishes so we reached out to Gilmag for an individual schedule. Mary was just awesome in tailoring our itinerary and she arranged literally every detail for our trip.

Our Kenyan guide Francis picked us up at Nairobi airport and guided us through Masai Mara. A beautiful time and a great start into our tour. We stayed at Masai Mara Sopa Lodge.
After 3 days Francis took us to the boarder where our Tanzanian guide and friend Gilbert had already been waiting for us. We went to the Mara river, stayed two days at the Northern Serengeti and another two days at Central Serengeti. We stayed at the Mbugani Camps which was just amazing! Afterwards we stayed two days at Tarangire NP (Tarangire Simba Lodge) before we immigrated back to Kenya. We completed our safari with one more night at Amboseli Sopa Lodge where we said goodbye to Tanzania with a beautiful view to Kilimanjaro.

Out safaris were really breathtaking, unforgettable and simply perfect. We’ve been to Africa 4 times before so our expectations were certainly high, but we can say that Gilmag managed to exceed our expectations by far. The great migration, bid herds of lions including lots of cups, several leopards even with cups, cheetahs, hippos, crocodiles and even a rhino, Gilbert spotted all of these animals and offered us sceneries which were fantastic. We had a great time, a lot of adventure, fun and unforgettable memories.

After safari we went to Voyager Hotel at Nyali beach where we relaxed for some days. We went from Nairobi to Mombasa by plane and even the transfer to our hotel had been perfectly arranged by Gilmag.

With Gilmag you’ll find a local provider who offers individual and private tours according to your requirements. You will be closer to wildlife than you’ve probably been before, but due to experienced guides you will always feel very safe and secure. You will find lovely management, fantastic service and if you are lucky and have Gilbert as a guide you will have the best guide in the Serengeti.

Gilmag ! Experienced,Good Services, Very Friendly and Organised Crew I would recommend
5/5

While in Kenya/Tanzania for our holidays in Sept, we had a chance to do Animal Safari using GILMAG. I must say that this is the best Tour Guide we had for the last few years so far.
Well Organized, Friendly Crew, Modern and well serviced, maintained Tour Cars.
Was having Game drive for the first time with my kids and must say that they really had fun and am looking forward to make a repeat soon.
You wish to see all the BIG FIVE, and many more, GILMAG are the best, with the experience they have, they know exactly where to locate them.
After having drove long and wide, one will finally wish to have a rest and some good meal, GILMAG will always check you in to the best Hotels with affordable rates.
I would recommend them, at any one time.
ENJOY with GILMAG Tours

THE BEST SAFARI COMPANY
5/5

My friends and i travelled recently to Tanzania. We chose to travel with Gilmag Safaris due to their efficiency in communication. When we finally landed in Tanzania we were met by the very charming representative of the company at the aitport. We loved the hotel (The african tulip )we were booked for in Arusha everything was perfectly arranged. The food was amazing. All i can say is that everything was fabulous throughout our one week’s safari .

Thank you Gilmag Safaris for a lovely trip. I can’t recommend you enough. We Would love to come back to Tanzania again with Gilmag Safaris.

The safari was amazing
5/5

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.

Impeccable service unforgettable trip
5/5

My friend recommended Gilmag safaris since she had travelled with them. Gilmag was fantastic from start to finish. They tailor made an itinerary that fitted well with our budget and time. Our emails were responded to on time in professional and friendly manner.

Our guide Chris was fabulous. We visited ngorongoro, ndutu, Serengeti and ndutu. We saw all the big big 5 and many more. We would like to thank the team at Gilmag for making our African dream trip a reality. Gilmag is well organized and reliable. Unlike other companies that insist on full payment before start of the safari, Gilmag offers a choice of paying by instalments and even clearing balance upon arrival. We highly recommend Gilmag to anyone wishing to travel to Africa.

Unforgettable life time experience!!!
5/5

We have just returned from our 12 days safari to Tanzania with Gilmag Safaris. Based on the experience we had, I honestly recommend this company to anyone considering taking such a trip. From our first inquiry, Mary was very helpful and suggested the most suitable itinerary. On arrival, we were given very useful tips during briefing. Our guide, Kessy was extraordinarily helpful. We saw all the big 5 including the ugly 5. Gilmag privided an incredible adventure with some luxury to boot. We feel very lucky to have found Gilmag when we were searching safari outfits. I would certainly recommend Gilmag Safaris for a visit to Tanzania.

Great and wonderful experience
5/5

Our safari with Gilmag Safaris to Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro, Serengeti, Tarangire and Zanzibar exceeded our high expectations.
Reliable, friendly, knowledgeable, courteous are just some of the few words we can use to describe the management and adminstration of Gilmag safaris.
For us it was really an amazing experience like going into a film of National Geographic. Our guides Gilbert and Luis were extremely nice. They are very professional, skilled, efficient and very competent; They showed us beautiful Tanzania filled with wonderful scenery and charming people. Despite the rough terrains, our safari jeeps were comfortable and looked well maintained.
We warm heartedly recommed Gilmag Safaris to anyone thinking of taking a trip to Tanzania.

An epic adventure I would want to relive again and again ......My go to Safari
5/5

We recently went on safari with Gilmag Safaris and had the best time. Gilmag is a great company that is all about customer service. We were treated wonderfully during the process of selecting the itinerary that fitted us. All our questions were answered on time. From the start, Mary helped us to create a holiday tailored to our wishes, including safaris, relaxation, cultural tours and beach holiday.
On arrival, we had a very warm welcome and a lasting impression. Our group had 3 guides, Chris, Luis and Kwame. These three individuals made our trip absolutely unforgettable. They helped us in every aspect of our adventure with great big smiles. They were patient, extremely knowledgeable, understanding and very well coordinated. They made sure we saw all the Big 5 and much more. Our wildlife safari was amazing but the highlight was wildebeest migration in Ndutu and Hadzabe tribe visit.
We have done many safaris several times and none of those can compare to the Gilmag experience. I strongly recommend Gilmag Safaris.
