Fantastic experience!
We booked a 6 day safari in Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Lake Manyara with Tanzania Pilgrimage Safaris. After inquiring about the safari Gasper quickly got in contact with me. He proposed some itineraries and asked what our expectations are about the safari. The whole planning and booking process was made very easily. Any questions I had were promptly answered by Gasper.
Upon arrival in Tanzania our pickup was waiting for us at the airport. The first night at the hotel Gasper was waiting for us, to take us through the itinerary and answer any questions we might have before setting of on the safari. Gasper paired us with incredibly skilled guides and drivers. We managed to see all the animals we could only dream off, and many more.
After arriving in our lodge on the first night Gasper contacted me to ask if everything was okay, and if he could do anything for us. Even though Gasper had travel during our safari, to areas with bad reception, he still kept in contact with me during the entire duration of the safari. The accommodations that were selected for us (mid range) were all very nice and comfortable. All in all we could not have asked for more.
If you want an unforgettable safari in Tanzania I can only recommend Tanzania Pilgrimage Safaris and Gasper.

Very professional and friendly. Everything was arranged according to our wishes.
Joel and Tanzania Pilgrimage Safaris organised a safari that genuinely fulfilled our dream. Everything was tailored to our wishes, and the entire experience exceeded our expectations.
Our guide, Benjamin, was outstanding. He knew exactly where to find each animal, making every day exciting and memorable, and he was a wonderful companion throughout the trip. Joel also provided excellent recommendations and crafted a perfectly balanced itinerary. We were especially grateful for his advice after hiking the Ol Doinyo Lengai volcano—taking a relaxing day at the hotel was exactly what we needed.
If you’re planning to book a safari, don’t hesitate to choose Tanzania Pilgrimage Safaris—and make sure to ask for Benjamin.

Very professional and kind
Nice safari with Joel and our guide Benjamin. We saw a lot of wild animals, accommodation was almost perfect, Joel takes care of the clients, he asked every times for our feedback and how the days was. We had a nice 7 days of safari with them. Thanks again for everything.

Amazing experience with an attentive team
My experience with Tanzania Pilgrimage Safaris have been great. Derick was very thorough in answering any question I had and very flezile in accommodating my requests. Even though I booked a shared tour, I was still able to change my itinerary to a certain degree (I added 1 more night in Serengeti and had a mix of budget and mid-rang accommodation depending on the location). The guides I went with were all amazing, especially Nestory who is very experienced, so I was able to see a lot of unique moments while doing the safaris. (We even saw an impala giving birth!)
Despite the fact that it was the low season and the political situation that led a lot of people to canceled and thus resulting in some adjustments during the tour, the company is always communicative and responsive. That made me feel extra safe as a female solo traveler.

Great assistance
We were very happy with this company we booked for a 6 days safari. Joel assisted us before departure with lots of information and throughout our stay keeping contact every day via WhatsApp. He picked us up at the airport and took us around Arusha with a good local food lunch then we stayed at the Charity hotel (quite old and basic). The night in Arusha was a bit of a waste of time but The safari was great. We saw lots of animals and the guides were good. We had three different ones. This company use freelance drivers/guides so they are able to accommodate your needs for the safari itinerary and schedules. Also This means having maybe different drivers and groups and some delays. The midrange lodges we stayed were fantastic, excellent service, food was good, rooms were large and very comfortable. I would recommend to go for this option. The public camping sites are really basic and damp. Overall this company delivered everything they promised at a good price. They can also assist you with other bookings ( flights, hotels, activities). I would definitely recommend to use them for the safari.

Amazing experience!!
We did a 7 day safari & it was amazing. We saw the big five & many other animals too. We spotted many lions, leopards & got to see many cubs as well. And ofcourse the migration, it was still happening in central serengeti moving to south during our safari in December. It was truly an amazing experience. We signed up for a group tour & in the beginning we had some confusion about the logistics but Gasper, our tour operator made sure that everything went smooth with our itinerary & ensured that everything was arranged properly. He was in contact with us everyday making sure we are okay & we got everything we need. Food was great, I would have liked to see more options in vegetarian but since it is camping style & in the middle of nowhere getting a freshly cooked hot meal felt like luxury & it was amazing. We also did the cultural tours & it was a beautiful experience. The tribes were very warm & welcoming & it was very interesting to learn about their way of living & daily life style. Overall it was a very pleasant experience we enjoyed all the parks, animals & tribes. Thanks to Gasper & Tanzania Pilgrimage safaris for making out trip amazing & unforgettable.

A professional operator delivering safe Kilimanjaro climbs and memorable safaris.
Our two-week private Kilimanjaro climbing and safari tour through Tanzania Pilgrimage Safari was truly exceptional.
From the very beginning, the communication was clear, professional, and reassuring. Joel carefully listened to our wishes and arranged a well-balanced itinerary that perfectly suited our family.
The Kilimanjaro climb was extremely well organized. Our guides were experienced, attentive, and always prioritized safety while encouraging us every step of the way. Thanks to their excellent support, even our 10-year-old child was able to reach the summit safely, which made the experience even more meaningful for our family.
The safari portion was equally unforgettable. We saw an incredible variety of wildlife, and overall the logistics were handled smoothly.
At the beginning of the trip, we stayed at a hotel that did not fully meet our expectations, but the team responded quickly and arranged a change without any trouble, which we truly appreciated.
During the safari, our vehicle got stuck in the mud twice. It was handled on site, but based on this experience, bringing a rope could be useful, especially during muddy conditions.
Overall, this tour exceeded our expectations in every way. We are deeply grateful to Tanzania Pilgrimage Safari for creating such a memorable and meaningful experience, and we would highly recommend them to anyone considering a Kilimanjaro climb or safari in Tanzania.

A definitely brilliant experience in Safari
We sincerely thank Derick from Pilgrimage Safaris. After carefully comparing several companies, we confidently chose Pilgrimage because of Derick's smooth communication, attractive proposals, and his consistently prompt and professional responses. When we encountered an issue during the trip, he worked to find a solution even late at night and provided a resolution first thing the next morning, ensuring our safari ended without regret.
A special thanks to our guide, Benjamin. His professionalism was outstanding. On our final day, he diligently searched the entire plains with us to find a cheetah and successfully made it happen — a truly memorable experience.
Although Pilgrimage is a relatively new company, we were deeply impressed by their quality of communication and the thoroughness of their arrangements. We wholeheartedly wish them continued growth and success.
Based on our firsthand experience, we'd like to share some detailed suggestions:
For future travelers: If you have specific animals you hope to see (like cheetahs) or particular requests for your guide, we recommend communicating this clearly with the tour operator in advance. This way, even though wildlife sightings are never guaranteed, the company and guide will be aware of and can prioritize your expectations, allowing for more tailored arrangements.
For Pilgrimage: It would be excellent if you could proactively ask guests about their special hopes and strive to assign the most suitable and excellent guides. Also, given the significant dust in the Serengeti, providing some disposable masks for both guests and guides would be a very thoughtful and practical detail.
For everyone: Simply savor every moment in the Serengeti — everything here is truly one of a kind.
