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.

Memorable
5/5

I recently travelled with Gilmag Safaris as a solo traveller. I visited Tarangire, Ngorongoro and Serengeti. My experience with Gilmag exceeded my expectations. I was impressed by the way my inquiries were handled; timely and on point. My guide, Musa was the best. He made sure my safari was the most memorable. I can confidently recommend this company to any safari enthusiast. I will be back again. Asante sana for the lovely safari.

5/5

I had the best experience with Gilmag dealing with them for the first time after being to Tanzania on several occasions. Everything about them was just perfect, and trust me I had one of the most eye-catching tour ever with perfected timing to be able to see even the most discreet animals ,kudos Gilmag.

Exciting Trip with an excellent guide
5/5

We had a very good time with our guide Gilbert. He picked us in Arusha and on the way to our first stop at the Tarangire National Park, he told us a lot of useful explanations about the country, the nature and the animals.
During our trip we had the big luck to see a lot of beautiful animals at Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro and Serengeti National Park. Gilbert knew a lot of places to see them and to take great pictures. He always took care of our premises and fulfilled feasible wishes.
We are very thankful for all the experiences and we hope to have another chance to repeat the “safari kubwa“.

I was given the adventure of a lifetime!
5/5

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.
