Magical experience: very professional from start till end
We booked a 6-day mid-range safari with a private guide. We would recommend this package to everyone as it provides good value for money, while still having an entire car to yourselves, which gives you more flexibility. Our tour guide Joshua was very knowledgeable and made us feel comfortable right away. We visited Tansania in the beginning of the wet season but got really lucky with the weather and had a great experience seeing all the animals. Communications with the office was also really good, they provided us with a lot of information from the start which was also the reason why we chose Brilliant.

Perfect
Many thanks to the company "Brilliant"! Our trip was incredible, delightful, informative and picturesque.
I wrote to various companies before leaving, but only in "Brilliant" they answered all my questions and wishes in great detail and quickly. We had a 10-day mid luxury beach holiday & safari in Tanzania. All the hotels, national parks, and the route itself were great. On this trip, we were surrounded by home warmth and care. We completely relaxed and didn't worry about anything.
P.S. We had the coolest car on safari - all the windows were lowered!

Professional, thoughtful and will always ensure you have a great experience
From our initial enquiry my wife and I felt extremely comfortable with Brilliant Adventures and Safaris which is why we ended up choosing them over other companies with more reviews online. We must admit this did worry us a little at the beginning but I cam assure you that Brilliant Adventures and Safaris really do live up to their name.
I booked our trip rather last minute but Jane was friendly, helpful, full of suggestions and advice. She was very patient with our many questions and happily answered them all. She even helped us save money on our trip. And it was a really sweet and unexpected touch for her to meet us at the airport on our arrival and again to wish us farewell when we left.
The service continued to be of top quality from our booking onwards; Jane prepared an planning pack with advice on what we would need to bring and do in advance, and continued to be quick with answers with all our questions. Once we arrived this service continued with our guide, Bonnie; a really happy and friendly guy who made us feel instantly relaxed and welcome and before long had us feeling like old friends. From then onwards everything was fantastic. The vehicle we had for our 6 days was clean, comfortable and perfect for long game drives. The accommodation was beyond our expectations, specifically the Into The Wild Serengeti Campsite. It is a truly wonderful place to stay on safari. Bonnie also made sure that each meal and lunch hamper accommodated my wife's vegetarianism, which made everything easy.
But the important part, the animal sights, we experienced so much more than we had dreamed of. And though the Serengeti and Ngorongoro crater do seem to have a different animal behind every twist and turn of the roads, a lot of the specific sightings were down to Bonnie. On our initial drive from the airport he asked us what we had come to see, what we really would love to see and went over and above to ensure we had the best chance of seeing it. And in every one of our requested sightings he delivered 10 fold. He is also extremely knowledgeable, flexible and has a great sense of humour, which made it a pleasure to spend 6 days with him and heightened our whole experience. He taught us so much about the nature but also of Tanzanian life and culture in general our sightings felt all the more special and our trip all the more fulfilling.
So as I'm sure is evident at this point I would highly recommend Brilliant Adventures and Safaris, they have a great team and provide an excellent service, and we will most certainly be returning in the future

Extraordinary experience that exceeded all expectations
The journey was meticulously planned by an exceptional team, and the tour guide was simply outstanding. From the very beginning, Lightness was attentive to our preferences and needs, making the planning process a breeze. She took the time to understand our interests and tailored the itinerary accordingly, ensuring that every moment of the safari was truly special.
The star of the trip was undoubtedly our guide, Joshua. His knowledge of the local wildlife and ecosystems was awe-inspiring. With each game drive, he unveiled the wonders of the Tanzanian wilderness, effortlessly identifying various animal species and imparting fascinating insights. His passion for wildlife conservation was evident, and it added a profound dimension to the safari experience.
What impressed us the most about Joshua was his attention to detail and flexibility. He had an uncanny ability to spot animals from a distance, ensuring we didn't miss any remarkable sightings. Moreover, he adapted the itinerary on the fly to accommodate our preferences and maximize our encounters with wildlife.
The safari vehicle they provided was truly impressive, boasting unique features that made our game drive experience unforgettable. Its rear side windows could be folded open with sliding panes and frames, allowing us to feel even closer to nature and enjoy unobstructed side views, perfect for photography.
Throughout the safari, safety was a top priority, and both Brilliant Adventures & Safaris and Joshua ensured we felt secure at all times. Their dedication to our well-being allowed us to immerse ourselves fully in the breathtaking landscapes and wildlife encounters without worry.
From witnessing the Great Migration to observing predators in action, every moment was unforgettable. The accommodations were excellent, providing a comfortable and luxurious retreat after exhilarating days in the wilderness.
The safari arranged by Brilliant Adventures & Safaris and led by Joshua was an extraordinary adventure that left us with cherished memories. The attention to detail, personalized planning, and expertise of the agency combined with Joshua's knowledge and passion made this trip an unforgettable and highly recommended experience. I am grateful for this once-in-a-lifetime journey and will undoubtedly cherish the memories forever. We will definitely go with Brilliant Adventures & Safaris and Joshua again.
Brilliant Safaris do exactly as they say , totally brilliant !
We have just returned from the most wonderful safari experience with Brilliant. The attention to detail, care & planning was second to none. Our safari guide Eugene was amazing, ask for him ! He planned everything to make sure we got the maximum enjoyment from our 7 day tour even taking us up to the north Serengeti border to see the wildebeest migration. A once in a lifetime opportunity. Everything was designed to give us the most out of our time there. All accommodation was excellent, in particular our 2 days in the Serengeti at Into the Wild Camp. The food was excellent and all the staff at every camp and lodge were unfailingly kind. The safari vehicles are generous, comfortable and well equipped. As the roof folds back completely you can stand up and get a totally uninterrupted view 360. The cold beers & snacks on board were appreciated, especially by my sons! .
It’s often tricky to judge how to book holidays like this but you will be in very safe hands with Brilliant. Julieth met us at the beginning and end of our safari and even checked in with us 1/2 way through to make sure the company were fulfilling our wishes. Brilliant is locally owned and operated and I think this makes all the difference. They are experts and so knowledgable.Thank you Brilliant, we will be recommending you to everyone !
