Amazing experience
First of all, the communication through the whole journey was smoothly and pleasant. They arranged everything very well and planned my accommodation and agenda ahead, which was proved to be reasonable. Secondly, my guide Eric, he was amazing in terms of finding animals in the wild. He’s very familiar with all those national parks that I went. Finally in the hotels that we selected together were very nice and I was satisfying about the whole journey.

An unforgettable 2026 Spring Festival holiday~~
We went to Tanzania for the Spring Festival in February 2026 and contacted Gilmag Safaris about half a year in advance. The contact person was Chinese, so the communication was very convenient and friendly, providing 100% sincerity and allowing us to confidently book this trip.
For 6 days and 5 nights, our guide Waziri was knowledgeable, diligent, and cautious. Every time he stopped the car, he talked about the plants, animals, and landforms here, making our trip more meaningful. He almost allowed us to see all the animals, which was really exciting. Every day was full of expectations and surprises.
I am very willing to recommend Gilmag to my friends around me. It has a high cost performance ratio and provides a full experience. I suggest that you try to leave early in the morning when camping. The probability of seeing feline animals in the morning will be much higher, and you may even see hunting!

Wonderful safari with knowledgeable & friendly guide Waziri
Our early communication was excellent. All my questions were answered promptly, and the itinerary was well-organized at a reasonable price.
Our guide Waziri was humorous, polite, and knowledgeable about animals. He drove safely and patiently showed us a wide variety of wildlife during the safari. Highly recommend Gilmag!

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.
