The best tour i have ever experienced!
My partner and I went on many different safaris whilst in Africa for 7 weeks and Gilmag was by far the best company we could have asked for. Mary and her team helped us tailor our safari to what we needed and also for a very reasonable price with various options to suit our budget. We recieved the most incredible customer service from the initial contact until the time we completed our safari.
We cant thank Mary enough for everything and even though safaris can be about what nature wants to offer us, we were blessed with the most amazing animal sightings ever. Cant recommend Gilmag enough. Thankyou all so much!

Family Trip
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
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.
Great and wonderful experience
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
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.

Amazing experience! Everything perfect and phenomenal safari!
Gilmag Safaris has been extremely efficient with all the communication before the safari, sharing suggestions and tips about how to get the most from it. Mary also supported us also during our stay in Zanzibar caring for all the logistic details. During the safari, our driver (Nickson) could speak Italian and made the difference: he was always in touch with the other drivers to find animals, always nice and never tired. We strongly recommend Gilmag Safaris!

Epic Safari with Gilmag
My friends and I had a fantastic Safari with Gilmag Safaris. We did a 6 days Safari to Tarangire, Manyara, Ngorongoro and Serengeti. Gilmag Safaris did an amazing job in assisting us to plan our trip. They were so accommodating and provided all the transportation, accommodation and resources we needed. Our guide, Nickson was amazing; very knowledgeable and friendly. We saw all the animals we were interested in seeing including bonus wildebeest migration in Serengeti.
We loved every aspect of our trip. Gilmag Safaris exceeded our expectations. We have already recommended Gilmag Safaris to our friends and colleagues. We can't wait to come back with Gilmag Safaris as our travel partner.

Escellent Safari with Gilmag Experts
Gilmag is a great company. We were impressed right from the start of planning the safari - the way inquiries were handled promptly was very impressive. We have nothing but high praise for Gilmag Safaris. Mary was so gracious and expertly positioned to handle all our queries. Our guide Gilbert was extremely knowledgeable. He took us to 4 parks and also cultural tour of Lake Eyasi. We are convinced we were provided with the best guide possible. Going on safari had been our dream for decades, and we are glad Gilmag Safaris made it a reality.
We stayed in both mid range and high end accommodation. Lake Burunge and Tanzania Bush Camps were our favourite. In overall, we had a high class safari at very affordable price. Gilmag Safaris is quality oriented and are good at what they do - delivering epic Authentic African Safari. I cannot recommend a better safari company to choose for your trip in Tanzania. Viva Gilmag Safaris.

Met all of our expectations and then some
in planning the trip we worked with Mary. She was very responsive and organized a great trip. We asked for 3 and 4 star accommodations. stayed in small, nice lodges. spent 2 nites in Serengeti in the mbugani tented camps. very comfortable. private flush toilet, shower and sink. large, clean quiet tent with a very comfortable bed. They had no A/C, but our weather was nice and it wasn't necessary. They are not 5 star, BUT, they are really in the bush. we could hear hippos and lions at night, not very far away. You might not get that experience in some of the bigger deluxe lodges. pretty cool.
She set us up in a private tour for the 2 of us. I would recommend that. some of the vehicles looked pretty crowded with up to eight people. It would be hard to really see the animals and you would have to go along with the group program. with a private vehicle, you can keep whatever schedule you want, and its not a whole lot more money.
Our driver, Nickson was great. we had some rain. on 2 occasions, trucks all around us were getting stuck in the mud. He managed to get us thru each time. very knowledgeable. spotted a lot of animals. very entertaining. If you are lucky enough to get Nickson as your driver, tell him Randy and Mandy said "weenie weenie" (inside joke. it will make him laugh)
We had to make several changes during the safari, due to our changes, not gilmags. Mary jumped in and helped reschedule some lodging and air reservations which was quite a lot of extra work for her. She did not ask for any additional money, but we paid her extra money for her effort.
We did 11 days total. the price was amazingly cheap for all that we did in our private jeep and driver.
If I go again, I won't even bother to shop. I will just go straight to Mary at Gilmag. Can not say enough about them. the whole thing went smooth and was great from beginning to end.
