A very wonderful and amazing Tanzanian Safari experience with Galilaya Expedition
We group with 4 people have done a fantastic and amazing 7 full day Safari Tour with Galilaya Expedition for our holidays through the Tarangire National Park, the Serengeti National Park, and the Ngorongoro Crater. Our guide Francis was very great, showing us all the animals and offering great insight and knowledge about each animal and Tanzania. Emiliana was also great in organising our tour and accommodation including accounting for every demands. Each Safari Lodge selected was super comfortable. We were able to fully enjoy the experience, feeling truly immersed in the beauty and authenticity of Tanzania, without any major issues or inconveniences. I would 100% recommend Galilaya Expedition Safaris to any traveller considering a Safari in Tanzania and I have already recommended the company to a number of friends who are interested in this trip.
At last, A well-deserved 5 stars and a tour operator we highly recommend!

Great safari
It was very lucky to have Francis traveling with us. Actually, most of the stars should attribute to this professional and funny guide as we really had a great time on safari.
However, there are some reminds for all visitors, especially for Chinese visitors: if you want to choose this company, firstly, double check and make sure the hotels meet your requirements before booking. Otherwise, they will ask for extra money after changing your hotels when you have already checked in. Secondly, the meals included might be different from specified in the itinerary. We had two missing dinners which were included according to the plan.
Thirdly, always figure out the price before letting them arranging your activities. They have that habit to make the prices vague and to keep the changes even if you are not mean to.
In addition, Serengeti is always the best choice. Other national parks like Arusha national park might be small. As for the Haozabe tribe, you should go only under the interest of hunting and be prepared for the tips for local guides and donations for local community. Don’t buy the handcrafts because they are expensive and even if you have already bought some trying to support their community, still they’ll ask you for donations directly.
Overall, always get all the information before making decisions, be careful of the hidden costs!!

This is a travel agency I am very satisfied with, and the staff are also very good!
This is a special fate, I ultimately chose you among multiple travel agencies because the answers you gave me and the information you sent me made me feel very professional, and professionalism brings peace of mind. After ending Safari, it made me even more convinced that my choice was the right one. You are a responsible company, thank you for meeting!

The trip was incredible. From the first moment I asked for information, Emiliana responded very quickly and was always attentive and focused on everything we wanted to do. We used a tour already on his website as a base, and we asked him to add or remove things. He was always very kind and accurate with our requests, until we finally got the tour we wanted. Our guide knew a lot about animals and gave us very interesting information at all times and he was very skilled at finding animals; he has a lot of experience and shared many experiences and things he's seen in his years as a guide.
We visited Tarangire National Park, Serengeti, Ngorongoro Conservation Area, and Lake Manyara National Park. Finally, we fly to Zanzibar. Overall, the accommodations were very nice and the meals were delicious. We managed to see the Big 5, as well as a lioness hunting a wildebeest, a pride of lionesses with their cubs, lionesses eating a wildebeest, numerous elephants, giraffes, hippos, warthogs, ostriches, cheetahs, leopards, zebras, wildebeests, impalas, flamingos, hyenas, and many birds.
It was the most beautiful experience I've ever had. I highly recommend the Galilaya Expedition as your agency for enjoying Tanzania.

Beautiful Memorable Safari
Galilaya Expedition, and it was a truly unforgettable experience.
I wanted to plan a memorable adventure with my partner and discovered Galilaya through Safari Bookings after reaching out to several operators. I chose Galilaya because they were the most responsive and accommodating, offering an itinerary that perfectly matched our preferences.
The booking process was smooth and efficient. Both Benaiah and Emiliana were incredibly helpful, responding promptly via email and WhatsApp. They provided excellent support not only during the planning phase but also throughout the trip itself.
Our safari group included four other guests, and we were fortunate to have Philis as our guide. He was a fantastic host—enthusiastic, friendly, and clearly passionate about what he does. His extensive experience ensured we visited the best spots for wildlife viewing, and thanks to him, we were able to see the Big Five.
We stayed at three high-quality accommodations during the safari:
- Country Lodge Karatu – A charming lodge set in beautiful surroundings, with warm and welcoming staff.
- Friends Serengeti Camp – A luxury tented camp in a secluded location, offering close-up wildlife encounters and a truly immersive experience.
- Ngorongoro Safari Lodge – A comfortable lodge with stunning views of the lake and attentive staff who made us feel at home after the day’s adventure.
I wholeheartedly recommend Galilaya to anyone planning a safari holiday. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and commitment to creating a memorable experience truly set them apart.

Our safari experience was absolutely fantastic
Our safari experience was absolutely fantastic – I highly recommend booking with Galilaya. From the moment we arrived, Emiliana made everything incredibly easy. She met us for a detailed briefing, and throughout the trip, she was responsive, and always on hand to help.
Our guide Philis, was a real highlight, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable about the wildlife. Since you spend a lot of time with your guide, it made such a difference that he was not only a great driver (even on the wildest roads!) but also knew all the insider tips on where to find the animals.
Each of the three accommodations we stayed at were beautiful, with staff who consistently went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. The Serengeti itself is a breathtaking, unforgettable experience – made even better by being in such good hands.

A fantastic company full of thoughtful, genuine people who care
This company did a fantastic job of helping us to explore northern Tanzania and gave us some once in a lifetime experiences while on safari.
We booked a 6 day tour featuring on a shared safari.
The safari was spot on. It was well organised and well executed. It gave us some magical moments due to a very skilled driver/guide. The food was excellent throughout.
The company were quick to respond to our emails. They represented excellent value for money when compared with other options.
Overall, we found the team at Galilaya Expedition to be thoughtful and genuine. It felt like they really wanted us to have a great experience!
