Very friendly company that provides solutions to everything. I had no problems with the organization, a 10.
My first experience in Tanzania, and I came back amazed. The company exceeded my expectations with its organization. I thoroughly enjoyed the country and its hidden gems and had no difficulty getting around. I was able to enjoy the charming people and the large parks for safaris. My children had an unforgettable experience. I thank the organizing company and will contact them again in the future to lose myself in Tanzania again.

I had a horrible exprience. A strong NO. I wouldn't recommend going with her!
Two travelers, who paid 7000+500 USD for a 9 day trip in Tanzania.
Communication - won't give transparency on breakdown, very nice before you pay her, not at all responsive, no solution mindset and a heavy attack mindset
Service- horrible
Value for money- negative, will loot you
Reliability - not at all (as we learned)
Tour itself- very bad design, didn't take into account our preferences, gave us a very bad driver, the safari jeep had a huge crack, windows won't close properly...
1. The trip experience was horrible.
Most expensive trip we ever did, which turned out to be the most horrible trips we have done.
2. The driver assigned was horrible, didn't give us any space, made personal remarks and commented on our clothing, personality, money we have etc....didnt let us eat a single meal by ourselves.
3. We asked for a day in ngorongoro and we just got half. When requested to add more time, we had to pay 500 USD from our own pocket.
4. Didn't cater to our interests at all. Didn't ask if we want to see migration in Serengeti. Booked all the activities in Zanzibar on the day we were supposed to fly out. The day was known to her and confirmed by her.
5. Lack of professionalism - the communication is not at all professional. She makes personal attacks and guilts you in. Will use a lot of karma and other BS to guilt you to pay her, feel bad.
7. Changing accommodation every night unnecessarily.
8. No transparency on breakdown of prices. Not worth at all.
Don't go with her. Not at all worth it. Infact you will end up mentally stressed throughout. Till date, the prices charged were exorbitantly expensive. A strong NO.

Glory is thoughtful, and helpful!
Glory did a great job planning our safaris in Ngorongoro Crater and Tarangire Park. Our driver picked us up right at the airport and brought us to our hotel. He picked us up early the next day for safari and we had a blast! He was very knowledgeable and extremely kind. We saw so many animals and had really nice weather. This was a trip of a lifetime - thanks to Glory!

Consistent 5 star service and experiences!
This is my 6th time coordinating my travel and excursions, and those of others, through Glorious Tours Tanzania. When you meet and get to know Glory, you know you have met a friend for life. She helped craft an amazing 12 day itinerary for my group of 4 and her personal suggestions for activities I haven’t done blew our minds away! Glory goes to extensive lengths to ensure each segment of your trip is smooth and exceeds your expectations. Her prices, care, and skilled team of drivers and guides (the people who make or break your trips) can’t be beat! We did the following on this trip: airport transfers, local transportation, guided shopping in the Maasai Market in Arusha, hotel arrangements, Tarangire and Ngorongoro Safaris, Materuni Waterfall hike and coffee tour, Chemka hot springs, Maalum Cave, Safari Blue, Spice Tour, and even a catered lunch for our local friends - ALL arranged through Glory. Our group of first-time travelers to Tanzania said “this was the best vacation they have ever had”. I can’t recommend Glorious Tours enough!

Wonderful safari with Glorious Tanzania Tours
We spent two days in the Serengeti. It was fabulous! Lions, elephants, giraffes... and much more - right next to the car! Always a good atmosphere in the Jeep with the cheerful driver. Thanks Glory, you were there too!

Wonderful!
We had the most wonderful time both with Gloria and the Safari guide!
We spent two weeks travelling around Tanzania and we didn't have a lot of money for a safari, but we really wanted to go. We found Glorious Tanzania Tours, and we got a single day of safari for a reasonable price.
We went to Tarangire National Park and we saw SO MANY elephants!! And a lot of other animals as well, lions, giraffes, ostriches, antilopes, and so many more.
We were really happy with the safari so we booked a hike through a forest to a waterfall two days later. This was also a lot of fun.
We were even invited to Gloria's birthday party even though we hadn't met her yet when she invited us. Talk about hospitality!
Highly recommended!

Possible scam
Possible scam! RUN AWAY from this company! Save your hard-earned money! Please don't be fooled by Glorious Tanzania Tours and Glory. Right before leaving for our trip, my friends and I found out Glory was part of a suspected ring of scammers. We feel scammed out of our trip to Kenya and Tanzania. We have invested thousands into this trip and it has been devastating. It has been taxing trying to get our money back after many failed promises from Glory. Instead of a trip, we were left with dealing with police reports and trying to get our money from our credit card company.

Posted on Aug 19, 2023Dear Isabel, you and your friends Linda paid to Splendor holidays company in Kenya about10,000 dollars and she used to resolve her family problems which she confessed. I left my job and other personal responsibilities and went to report a case at police in Kenya, i did patrol with the police to arrest her. I paid my own money to cover hotels bills, i paid police expenses and all costs related to case. For Tanzania you and your three friends Linda paid $2850 to me for Tanzania Safari. I gave refund of $1800 which is the amount remain after made few reservations such as airline, hotels. Inirtial i promised to give a full refund but we had to follow last minute cancelation policy after realize nothing will make you and your friends to not damage reputation of Glorious Tours this is because before i processed another refund i found out Linda already sent various destructive emails to hotels to fade away my business reputation. for the case that i processed for splendor holiday company in kenya they accepted to sell family land and give back the money you paid her. Your two friends visited Kenya but did not visit the police station that i recorded their statements, this made all efforts i made to arrest Lucy Splendor holiday to end up pending. https://nairobinews.nation.africa/exclusive-how-american-vlogger-was-conned-sh1-7m-in-fake-maasai-mara-hotel-booking/
