5/5

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
5/5

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
5/5

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
5/5

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!

5/5

Benaiah is indeed exemplary in managing all affairs on our behalf. She graciously welcomed us at the Kilimanjaro International Airport, accompany us to Moshi, and then ensured my safe return to the Arusha Airport. Language barriers pose no issue. The value of the service is commensurate with its cost, and it is utterly dependable. Each journey is meticulously planned and consistently executed.
