Great Service, flexibility, attention to detail and commuted to the guest experience
5/5

I can only recommend choosing Terrain Tanzania. I travelled with my mother and Brother and we were very happy with everything. I had inquired about a dozen operators before and not only was Terrain Tanzania the best value for money but also George was the most responsive and adapted the tour to our needs and wishes. We went for a mid-range safari but it honestly felt like a luxury vacation. We had the special request of organizing a cross-border safari because I wanted to include Kenias Amboseli Park in the itinerary for the views of Mount Kilimanjaro. Most tour operators declined this request from the beginning but Terrain Tanzania was happy to organize this as well. We were very happy with our tour guides as well who were knowledgeable and super nice. It quickly felt more like traveling with a friend instead of a stranger. I’m glad we chose Terrain Tanzania and would recommend anyone to do the same!

What an amazing trip!!!
5/5

Overall, the trip was amazing and unforgettable. George helped set up a custom itinerary where we flew in from Dar Es Salaam into Serengeti and met up with our tour guide, Dallas. We visited Ngorogoro Crater, Lake Manyara, and Tarangire. Dallas was very accommodating and did an amazing job as our guide. We couldn’t have asked for a better trip.

Very helpful and competent tour guide!
5/5

The operator was available every time on whatsapp and phone when there were questions about our tour. The pic up as well as from the hotel as from Arusha airport was perfect. The payment was some prepay and the rest during the tour. Our tourguide Dallas was a really competent guy, who explained a lot about the country, the life and the animals there. He made our experience really great!! He also stopped at some museums to show us the Tanzanian culture. We would recommend terrain tanzanian safari to everyone and if we come back again we would book via them again.

Well organized, great communication, great flexibility, safe and informative
5/5

Basics:
4 people, 11 day/10 night, mid-level, Toyota Land Cruiser, private, cost=below average for same accommodations and itinerary

Itinerary:
Nairobi to Arusha, through Amboseli, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha, Masai Mara, Lake Victoria, Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, Lake Manyara, Tarangire

Tour company:
From the early stages, I worked with George Killas to build what we thought was the most ideal itinerary. He was very flexible, and patient with our many requests and questions. He was able to help meet our budget, and yet ensure we are comfortable on the trip. For anybody new to a safari, I do want to strongly encourage trying to book a guide that uses a 4x4 Land Cruiser. You will be thankful!

Because we went to both Kenya and Tanzania, we actually had two different tour guides/companies with a hand-off at the border. George handled these logistics with a partnering firm from Kenya. This can obviously have advantages and disadvantages, but it was seamless for us as the client.

Mid-level lodging was actually really great. All the places we stayed at were clean, safe, and beautiful. The two camps inside Masai Mara, and Serengeti were less luxurious (still very nice), but these are also the most expensive since they are inside the parks. The food everywhere was included, either through the hotels, or funded by Terrain Tanzania, and all of it was really good. Cold drinks were always available in the car, which was very welcome.

Both tour guides we had were very good: (Dminick in Kenya & Benjamin in Tanzania). They both listened to our requests and interests of animals we wanted to see, they adopted their itinerary, and they were knowledgeable about the animals, the culture, & the landscape. We really appreciated it when they would talk to other drivers as we drove by or use the radio to get information about where to find some of the more unique animals. We appreciated the guides making the most of our safari, by starting the day early and ending late, by searching for animals, and by visiting points of interest. These are long days for them, and they always maintained a positive and professional attitude.

Overall, our experience was amazing! We did not expect to see as many animals as we did! Of course wildlife spotting is very luck dependent, and no tour guide or tour company should ever be held responsible for your luck. That being said, we were very happy with everything that Terrain Tanzania Safaris organized. There are many companies out there, and it can be hard to compare them, but I would strongly recommend anybody to George's company.

Terrain Tanzania Safari is a great Safari operator.
5/5

We had the best Safari with Terrain Tanzania Safaris. We rarely had to wait to see animals on our game drives. We saw the Big Five plus so many others and photo ops galore including iconic photos with animals and landscape photos of sunsets or sunrises with animals or acacia trees. If I were asked by a friend what company to go with I would whole heartedly recommend Terrain Tanzania Safari. My family and friends were in awe of my photos. That was thanks to George and his eagle eye.

5/5

Definitely the trip of a lifetime! I was fortunate enough to find George Killas, owner of Terrain Tanzania Safaris and after many discussions on WhatsApp i booked an 18 day semi private all inclusive trip to Kenya and Tanzania. It was considered a luxury tour and it definitely was. The hotels were modern and lovely 4 star as well as the lodges and amazing Tent cabins in the bush. In fact, i was able to get one of the best 1 hour massages ever in my tent. Food was included, 3 meals a day and was always good. George took care of all arrangements and then some. He was always available and helpful day and night. Our safari vehicles were very comfortable and one even had a refrigerator for cold drinks..a major plus in the bush.
Not only did we see the big 5 a number of times but lion families, baboon families, elephant families, cheetah brothers, and due to our eagle eyed driver, Juma, we found a leopard sleeping on a branch in a tree!!! Amazing how close we got to her. I could count the whiskers on her face! All of our drivers were amazing. Ours was a very long and expensive trip but worth every penny. Truly was able to enjoy every moment and experience. I highly recommend Terrain Tanzania Safari company and George Killas who can customize a fantastic safari experience to fit your schedule and budget. He is very accommodating and easy to work with. You can also experience a trip of a lifetime.

An Amazing African Adventure
5/5

Wow! 18 days and every single one included a unique experience. George-owner and our guide-has SO MUCH knowledge and info to share. Every driver was great but Ben was our favorite.
We went to Kenya & Tanzania, 6 different national/private parks, saw the big 5- many times!, spent two afternoons learning about farming and industry in the area.
The weather (mid September into early October) was perfect.
A life-changing experience. I would definitely go back.

Easy and quick communication with George. Our guide Mac was very knowledgeable and experienced. We booked the 4-day mid-range safari and we could not be more satisfied with our choice. Highly recommended.
