Increadible Safari...!!!
5/5

Nurdin was very professional, knowledgeable, Credit Safari guide to their company of Wild gaze Safari, he know when And where to find the animals and he did everything to ensure we had a wonderful time. His driving was very safe, and he was very confident with the roads/parks. He was very personable, and friendly and made us feel very comfortable. We were able to see the big 4. While we did not book directly with Wild gaze Safari, I would highly recommend the company And nurdin as your Safari guide to make your experience as we had with his. Truly a highlight of our trip .

15 day drive safari to Ruaha NP
4/5

We started in Dar es Salaam aiming to experience more of southern Tanzania by driving and taking in a number of interesting sites along the way to/from Ruaha NP. WG provided a modern 4x4 open top safari vehicle driven by the excellent Michael. We visited Iringa stone age sites, Boma museum, Uluguru mountain range, Makumi NP and Ruaha NP. WG organised accommodation to suit our budget guide including the excellent Ruaha River Lodge. The NP accommodation can be regarded as a budget option suited to backpackers and self catering travellers. The lodges provided good facilities at very competitive rates compared to Northern Tanzania NPs. WG remained in touch throughout and responded to our needs during the 15 day Safari. WG are local to Iringa/Ruaha and are well placed to guide your safari in this emerging NP.

Spectacular wild life in Ruaha, helpful guide and relaxing atmosphere
5/5

We went on a three day/two night trip at Ruaha and really enjoyed the game drive with Michael! It was amazing how fast we were able to see so many different kinds of animals - we couldn't have imagined! Also we had the impression that Michael really loves the animals and nature, he had a lot of information for us and knew when and where to find the animals.
Special thanks again for helping us buying bus tickets in Iringa after the safari!
The accommodation in bandas and food was fine!

Wonderful experience!
5/5

We went already 2 times on a safari with Ernest (the manager) and his team. The first trip was from Iringa (with a visit to the local market for food) to Ruaha, it was a great experience. We were camping close to the river and saw many animals (even a leopard). The second trip was a safari to the north of Tanzania. The itinerary was very clear and a great mix between camping (the cook was exellent) and lodging. We would defenitely recommend Wild Gaze Safaris!

Three fantastic days at Ruaha
5/5

My adult son and I had three wonderful days in Ruaha National Park, organised and hosted by Wild Gaze Safaris. Communication from Wild Gaze before the trip was excellent, and when a problem with our payment (caused by a third party payment system) became apparent Wild Gaze were excellent at finding solutions.
Wild Gaze sent us a detailed plan for the three days prior to travelling to Iringa. The plan was exactly what we had asked for. My son and I caught a bus from Dodoma to Iringa, and were met at the bus station by Isaac our guide and driver. We then travelled to Ruaha, stopping at a wonderful restaurant for lunch about 30 minutes away from the Park entrance. After lunch we had a full afternoon in the park where Isaac found a large number of giraffes (my favorite animals) and a wide variety of other game. After sunset we had an excellent dinner at the restaurant in the Park, and then went to our accommodation. The beds were comfortable, and the bathroom facilities were adequate.
The next day we had an early breakfast and then were out promptly into the park where we saw a huge number of elephants (my son's favourite), and a huge range of other animals. The highlight was finding three lionesses stalking and then chasing a herd of water buffalo. It was spectacular and we had front row seats!
We were delighted to see at least three different groups of lions, and a huge range of different types of game.
Isaac was very knowledgeable and pointed out features of plants, birds, landscape, and game that we would not have otherwise been alert to. We certainly had a fabulous time. The safaris were outstanding, the meals were excellent, the banda accommodation was comfortable, and the connections with our buses at Iringa went smoothly. Also, Isaac made sure we were satisfied with what was happening during the day.
Wild Gaze Safaris did a brilliant job.

Wonderful experience!!!! (6 day safari TARANGIRE MANYARA SERENGETI NGORONGORO CRATER)
5/5



Truly a trip of a lifetime! Every single day we were amazed by the most beautiful landscapes and wild life. Of course this would not have been possible without the outstanding guidance and care of Ernest and his crew. From day one it was like we were traveling with friends! They went to great lengths to have us witness the Big Five but also made us aware of all the other animals, trees, plants, insects, birds, etc. that make Tanzania such a wonderful place. All practical things like transport, camping, food, etc. were handled in a professional way giving us a very efficient, fun and comfortable trip. Without exaggerating, this trip really exceeded our wildest expectations! Thanks a million, guys!!

Just like its name, Wildgaze Safaris, gave us an amazing camping trip in Ruaha National Park.
We had a great time enjoying the richness of the Park, from exploring the beautiful scenery to the big elephants.

Thank you Wildgaze!

Unforgettable Safari remain in our life time Nurdin made it ......
5/5

In May 2019 we spent 2 nights 3 days on a safari booked with Wild Gaze Safaris and Nurdin Adam was our guide. It was our first trip to Tanzania and to Africa for that matter and it was the best intro and experience we could have asked for.

We chose to work with Wild Gaze Safaris because of Norbert, who from our first email interactions, answered our questions and put us at ease in the planning of the safari. He helped tailor the experience to our needs (we have 2 kids ), wishes and budget - while giving us the guidance and expertise he has. He helped to demystify the safari planning process and showed us that it’s didn’t need to cost $500 per day per person which was what we were getting from outfitters. From the logistical side, Norbert was exceptionally great to work with and his choices and recommendations for Bandas, accommodations and sites proved to be excellent. Our favorite accommodations were:
Ruaha National Park

As for the actual safari experience day to day, that was what it was because of Nurdin. He is kind, professional, and extremely knowledgeable.
we were a team and our children LOVED him. I always felt he had our best interests at heart and we trusted him and his recommendations and suggestions without question. I was very nervous to come to Africa because of many unknowns (that now in retrospect seem very silly) and that anxiousness went away as soon as we got in the car with Nurdin on Day 1 and never returned. Some of our favorite times were meal times in the Bandas the government property in which we sat together and talked about the day and shared stories.

We will return to Tanzania again because of Nurdin and hopefully get the chance to work with him.
