Super excellent holidays with Gilmag Safaris
The four of us just had an wonderful holiday with Gilmag Safaris this February. My friend first made contact with their Chinese agent Felix, and he was helpful from the start. We had a bit of trouble booking hotels at first but he was persistant and found us really nice stays. He almost contacted us everyday during our visit to make sure everything went well. Especially when our connecting flight from Da res Salam was changed from landing in Kilimanjaro International Airport instead of Arusha Airport, he quickly arranged our driver to pick us up so we didn't have a messed-up start.
We went to Tarangire, Ndutu, Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Crater. Our guide Steve was abosultly amazing, sharp-eyed and an exceptionally good driver. We enjoyed our time with him and so lucky that he lead us to see the leopard from day 1, and the Big Five eventually. He was chatty, friendy and had a funny sense of humour that made our days.
It was an unforgettable trip, everyday was unbelievably perfect. We've seen so many animals, not only the big cats, but colourful birds, eelands, dik-diks, and serval--basically everything we wished to see. It was like a dream come true when we actually experienced the scenary from the documentaries. I'm sure we will be back soon since there are so much we haven't seen, and finally a big thanks to Gilmag Safaris who guaranteed our wonderful trip!!!

EXCELLENT EXPERIENCE IN AFRICA
GILMAG is an extremely professional and dedicated local tour operator. From pre-trip inquiries to any issues during the journey, the staff in China were always responsive to our questions, providing professional advice to help us make perfect decisions for our itinerary.
We would like to thank our driver-guide Noel from GILMAG. He is an experienced, calm, intelligent and knowledgeable person. He took us to see the Big Five in Africa and could always accurately identify the best spots for taking great photos.
Noel is also a lucky charm—with him around, we always got to see many extraordinary sights. We thoroughly enjoyed his company throughout the trip and have made a promise to meet him again in the Serengeti next time.

5-Star Review for Gilmag Safaris & Guide Elias
We just finished an absolutely incredible safari in Tanzania with Gilmag Safaris, and it was perfect from start to finish. Every detail was well‑arranged, the vehicles were comfortable and reliable, and the whole team was professional and friendly.
And our guide, Elias,he has incredible wildlife knowledge and knows the parks inside out.
His eyes are sharp; he spotted animals we would have never seen on our own, including rare and elusive ones.
He’s patient, thoughtful, and always went the extra mile to make sure we had the best views and photo opportunities.
He’s safe, responsible, and makes the whole journey fun and memorable.
Elias turned a great safari into an unforgettable once-in-a-lifetime experience. We can’t recommend Gilmag Safaris and Elias highly enough. If you’re planning a Tanzania safari, this is the team to book with!

Perfect safari experience with excellent service
Our Tanzania safari was absolutely unforgettable, all thanks to this amazing company and our incredible guide, Nickson!
Nickson is extremely knowledgeable, professional, and passionate about wildlife. He has an outstanding eye for spotting animals—we saw lions, leopards, elephants, giraffes, and so much more, even the most elusive ones. He is also a safe, careful driver and always made sure we felt comfortable and secure.
The whole trip was well-organized, smooth, and worry-free. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide or a better experience.
Highly recommend this company and especially guide Nickson to everyone!

Dedicated and responsible
The three of us have a combined age of over 200: I'm 69, my husband is 70, and my sister is 64. We quickly finalized our itinerary after communicating with the travel agency's employee in Beijing. My intuition proved correct; we enjoyed a wonderful eight-day trip to Tanzania, experiencing all five of Africa's largest wildlife species, and were satisfied with our food, accommodations, and transportation.

Eagle eyes help us to see the Big Five.
Our safari experience was truly unforgettable, and a huge part of that was thanks to our guide, Prosper. From Central Serengeti to Arusha, he demonstrated incredible knowledge of wildlife, sharp tracking skills, and a deep respect for nature. We were lucky enough to see the Big Five, and he always positioned the vehicle perfectly for both viewing and photography while making sure the animals were never disturbed.
What impressed us most was not just his professionalism, but his patience, awareness, and intuition. Prosper could read animal behavior, anticipate movement, and explain what we were seeing in a way that made every moment meaningful. When we witnessed a real hunt in the wild, he calmly guided us through what was happening, helping us understand the reality of nature beyond just spectacle.
Prosper is not only an excellent guide, but also a thoughtful, responsible, and passionate person who truly loves what he does. If you want a safari that is safe, insightful, and deeply authentic, you could not ask for a better guide. Highly recommended.

Absolutely amazing
I traveled with my old pals. I was contacted by the Chinese agent, Felix, who was very responsive in answering everything, even helping me out when my outbound flight got canceled. The local guide Eric is the best. He was very polite, punctual, careful, and knowledgeable. He kept the car very clean every day, and drive us around explaining not just the big five but everything we encountered, including little chameleon crossing the road, trees, birds. We absolutely enjoyed the game drive with him. We were also very impressed with the hotel/camp arrangement; no worries about hot water or WiFi… not to say cleanness. Everything is top notch. We would happily recommend it to everyone and come back with Gilmag next time.

A Relaxing Safari Adventure with Gilmag Safaris
I and my family members recently enjoyed an exceptional safari with Gilmag Safaris, based in Kenya and Tanzania, visiting Ngorongoro Crater, Serengeti, and Tarangire National Park. As a family of six, we had a magical, well-organized experience with affordable admission fees and a relaxed five-day itinerary.
The atmospheres varied beautifully: Serengeti's vast plains felt wild and free, Ngorongoro's crater was dramatic and intimate, and Tarangire's baobabs created a serene, timeless vibe. It wasn't overcrowded, making it perfect for bonding.
The staff shone—our knowledgeable, passionate tour guide shared engaging facts, while the skilled, patient driver ensured safe, comfortable navigation with a friendly touch.
Best for anyone seeking to reconnect with nature on a relaxed safari. Highly recommended for families or solo travelers!

Excellent service reasonable price
My friends and I just returned from Tanzania having completed a 12 day bush to beach safari. Everything exceeded our expectations. Our guide, Frank was knowledgeable and had good sense of humour. We saw all the Big 5 and much more.
We can't thank Gilmag Safaris enough for making our festive season trip a dream come true. I highly recommend Gilmag Safaris.
