Tanzania was great, Can not recommend them for Kenya.
It was a great time in Serengeti and entire Tanzania, The crew in Tanzania took really good care of us, If i need to review just Tanzania I can give 5/5 rating.
In Kenya we did our game drives with one of their partner company and Not a good experience.
For Tanzania: 5/5 rating
For Kenya : 1/5 rating.

Horrible experience
We booked this company for both Kenya and Tanzania safaris, They completely spoiled our Kenya Masai Mara experience, the guide we got name called Ole spoiled our complete experience by misguiding us and when we tried to call the tour company owner George, he was not at all responsive while we were in Kenya.
They treated us well while we were in Tanzania got a very good guide name called Omar but our Kenya and Masai Mara experience was horrible.
And when we were suppose to get AA Lodge at Ambosali National park, they gave one basic room where it was not a finished room with open nails and all, the beds were not even equipped with mosquito nets and my kids were bitten by at least 50 Mosquitos on that night.
Summary: Our experience in Tanzania is ok but definitely spoiled my Kenya experience.
I recommend you to avoid this company.

Posted on Aug 1, 2023Your Masai Mara experience to me was a great one - you had a full day of game drive on day two from 8:00 to around 18:00, I remember to have spoken to you at exactly 17:47hrs and your reply was , can I call you in one hour? Still in a game drive.
The following day was a transit day and not a game drive day since you were to be at the border from 9:00Am, we have a shortcut route to get to the border but you insisted to cross through the reserve and delayed at the gate for 2hrs because our guide didn’t have these informations - yes I was not available (church) but my colleague Eric whom I gave you his contacts authorized and we paid for you to cross through the Reserve. While on transit through the reserve - it was another game drive which ended up with late arrival at the border.
Masai Mara to Serengeti NP via Isebania border we recommend clients to cross this border between 10:00hrs and 12:00hrs but you crossed the border at 15:45hrs because you insisted and extended a Game Drive in Masai Mara. I had to call and inform the incharge of Serengeti Gate on your late check-in to the Park, of course you arrived relatively late at the gate and after dark at the Camp.
On your last two days in Tanzania - I left my office work and took the responsibility to drive and guide you to Mt Kilimanjaro as part of your schedule, I wanted to find out if anything was wrong - but you seemed to be very happy.
Amboseli NP, we could not find rooms at AA both nights , I explained and we agreed to a different Camp of which you did not like, efforts were done and we moved you to AA second night. The rest of the accommodations were as per itinerary. THANKS.

Unforgettable Experience
Our 3-Day Safari with Terrain Tanzania Safaris was just great. We had the chance to personalise our trip like we wished and to realise all our wishes. The Safari it self was also an unforgettable experience. Our Tourguide Diodenis was the best. He has so much knowledge of his field and you can see that he loves his job. All in all I can’t complain about one single thing. So a big thank you for this great experience!! I would definitely recommend Terrain Tanzania Safaris.

They offer high quality Service and have amazing staff.
We booked a low-budget safari from Tarrain Tanzania Safari, but it was not feeling like that. We got an amazing service. We got picked up in Dar es Salaam by our guide and he was doing the whole safari with us. Even the chief just came for us. She cooked amazing and more than enough food. She cooked vegetarian and even vegan food for us. It was no problem at all if we had any wishes to customize our safari. It was definitely worth it!

Our Guide was great! He was very knowledgeable about all the animals we saw and took good care of us
I had an amazing time! we did a 3 day safari with a boat trip and two game drives. We were picked up in Dar es Salaam and brought directly to the camp, during the drive we had some lunchboxes. The food during our whole stay was really good! it was also no issue to request vegetarian and vegan food options. The camp itself was nice and quiet, there even was a pool. I also felt very safe the whole time I was there and all of the staff there are really nice. For me the best part of our safari was the whole day game drive. We started in the morning right after breakfast and came back after sunset. The park is full of giraffes, Impallas and warthogs as well as many other animals. We were not lucky enough to see the big cats but that was no issue for me at all. I was already very satisfied with the amount of animals we saw. Staying in the car the whole time was also very comfortable as the roof can be opened a bit which means that you can stand up during the drive and look outside to take better pictures for instance. If I ever visit that park again I will probably book the same package as I really got my money's worth with it.

He was very knowledgeable and we lo Ed the package he put together for us.
We were so pleased with the individual plan put together for our family. We didn't have many days so it was important to see as much as possible and that happened. We stayed in beautiful locations and had the medium range cost package. We entered the parks at good time as we were able to see so many animals and were especially pleased to see over 30 lions in their natural daily living, it was wonderful. Our guides were very knowledgeable and spoke good English that was easily understood.

Trip of a Lifetime!
Five friends and I had an African Safari that was absolutely amazing! Thanks to George Killas and his wonderful tour company Terrain Tanzania Safaris we saw the "Big 5" and more!. Wild animals in their natural habitat and the gorgeous surroundings of the African terrain with sunrise and sunset views were just unbelievable. George Killas knows his stuff. He has serious knowledge of all that is Africa. Animals, history, tribes, he knows the answers and he can find the most elusive animals. On the last day of our tour with him we found the very elusive Rhinos and took some amazing photos. It is not just about the photos, but to be so close to these amazing animals and to be quiet and watch is such a privilege to see and be there, an absolute once in a lifetime experience! I want to go back!!! I highly recommend George Killas and his fabulous company Terrain Tanzania Safaris, you will not be disappointed.

Personal service, terrific safari company!
Wonderful experience with Terrain Safaris Tanzania, its owner George Killas, and my guide Omar. I had only a couple of days at the end of a working trip to Dar Es Salaam and George organized a terrific private safari in Tarangire NP and Ngorongoro Crater - even though it was rain season (not that many safari cars around, which was a plus!) I saw many wonderful animals. I contacted about half a dozen companies and Terrain stood out because George replied to all my questions promptly and provided a lot of useful information. It's a smaller company and they make sure their clients are very well looked after -- on my last night in Arusha George even came by my accommodation to chat and make sure I was completely satisfied with the trip! Book with them, you won't regret it!
