We had a great time in Tanzania, thanks to Gilmag Safaris that organized a wonderful Safari through Tarangire, Ngorongoro and Serengeti park!
Our guide Nickson, very experienced, was able to let us see every kind of savana's animals. The choice of the camps to spend the night was impecable. Thanks to Mary for her availability e professionality. We hope to come back again in Tanzania, always with Gilmag!

5/5

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
5/5

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!!

Gilmag Safaris – Amazing Trip in Tanzania
What an amazing experience this trip was! I have been wanting to do this for a while and a work trip to Tanzania gave me that kick to finally do it. Me being a planner, I researched a lot of tour companies and Gilmag Safaris received overwhelming positive feedback. Everything was very thoughtfully planned, from pick-up time and what to expect through on arrival, to sleeping accommodations, dining, etc.
Nickson, our tour guide while in Tanzania, was fantastic. He was so knowledgeable and was very patient with us and the hundreds of questions that were asked. During the tours he gave us plenty of time to explore the local markets, Tanzanite Experience, which was greatly appreciated. From a scale of 1 to 10, the trip itself was a 10, but Nickson made it a 15!
Over the course of our 8 days trip, with his wit, wisdom, encyclopedic knowledge, care, compassion, and sense of humor, Nickson became family. If you are fortunate enough to get Nickson as your guide, you are in for a special treat.
In Serengeti, I would highly recommend staying at Tanzania Pure Tented Camp and not a hotel. It is set in a beautiful location and the tents are very comfortable and showers are more than adequate.
I would definitely recommend Gilmag Safaris, and thank you, Nickson, for sharing your amazing country with us!

Wonderful Experience!!!
5/5

As my husband and I are looking though the pictures we took on our Gilmag Safari we are still in awe from our wonderful safari experience. Only in our dreams did we think that we could see the wildlife in the national parks that we traveled to in Tanzania (Lake Manyara, Tarangire, Ngorongoro Crater, and the Serengeti). Our eyes will never see the same way again!!! Lions, cheetahs, leopards, elephants, giraffes, hippos, crocks, buffalos, a multitude of birds, and the Serengeti Migration!!! So many beautiful scenes, landscapes and sunsets!!!

A big THANK YOU to Mary, Gilbert, and of course Nickson our safari guide. The planning of this safari was easy and Mary worked with us to customize our trip to fit our budget. The Land Cruiser safari vehicle was comfortable without any mechanical problems... everything was flawless and not even an hiccup in the itinerary. The lodges and camps were amazing and more than what we expected. The food was plentiful and delicious.

I would highly recommend Gilmag Safaris if you are planning a safari trip to Africa. It will be a journey of a life time and one that we will never forget!!!

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
5/5

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!

5/5

My friends and I had the most amazing trip in Tanzania. We were 7 of us, traveling to Tanzania for the first time. We had 11 days bush to beach adventure, and it was the best experience ever.

Everything was planned to perfection. We will be coming back soon
