Once in a lifetime experience in Tanzania
Our safari tour was by far the best experience in Tanzania, it is a type of holiday which can’t be lived elsewhere. Thanks to Gerald’s knowledge and humor it was even more pleasant, we couldn’t have asked for a better guide! We managed to see everything we’d hoped for and observe the animals in their natural habitat. Definitely recommended!

The perfect guide for an unforgettable safari
We had an absolutely amazing 4-day safari in Tanzania with Gerald, visiting Lake Manyara, the Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Crater, and we couldn’t have asked for a better guide!
Gerald is incredibly fun, smart and kind, and his knowledge is truly impressive. He knows so much about the animals, nature and the places we visited, and he was always happy to explain everything and answer all of our questions.
One of the things that impressed us the most was his ability to find animals while also avoiding the crowds. Thanks to him, we had some incredible sightings and managed to see the Big Five perfectly, as well as so many other amazing animals and unforgettable moments.
Beyond being an excellent guide, Gerald was also a wonderful person to spend these days with. We are so grateful for these four days and the memories we made.
I would absolutely recommend Gerald to anyone planning a safari in Tanzania, and I truly hope to have the opportunity to experience another tour with him in the future. Thank you for everything, Gerald! 🐘🦁🦒❤️

A fantastic experience
We had a fantastic experience with Gerald: he has a long and deep knowledge of the safari world and of the parks we visited. He was always willing to satisfy our requests and always very nice and has a great experience and ability to provide insights and information on all the different types of animals.
Very kind and customer oriented. It has been a pleasure to spend 4 days with you Gerald, I hope we will have the opportunity to meet again in the future.
Ciao

The perfect first safari 😎
We’ve just come back from our first safari and we’re absolutely thrilled. We set off from Arusha and visited four national parks, including the Serengeti, of course. We saw an incredible amount in just one week, were able to observe loads and loads of animals – some from right up close – and learnt a great deal about nature and the local people. The whole tour was perfectly organised, the lodges were brilliant and our guide Gerald was really lovely, polite and caring. He wasn’t pushy at all, but extremely professional. We’re definitely completely satisfied and would do exactly the same again next time!

Excellent wildlife photo and cultural tour lead by expert guides
The primary focus of this tour was to photograph the wildlife in Tanzania, but this tour included much more and was great for non-photographers as well. Our multi-day tour included exploring Tarangire National Park, the Ngorongoro Crater, the Serengeti, and viewing the Mara river crossing. In addition, we visited a Maasai village, a band of Hadzabe hunter/gathers, a rice farm, a banana plantation, local markets, and experienced an awesome optional hot air balloon ride over the Serengeti. We overnighted at fine lodges or upscale Safari camps with running water, hot shower, flush commode, and excellent food. Our team of giudes was lead by Gerald Kani, Owner of Landsman Experience. It was great to have the owner present so that any want or desire could be immediately discussed with the person in charge. All of our guides were extremely experienced, knowledgable of animal behavior, and were very attentive to our every need, even to the point of making minor adjustments to the position of our sufari vehicles to get the perfect camera angle for the best shot. The guides were expert in locating wildlife and getting us in position for the best views. In many cases the animals were extremely close to our vehicles. Both photographers and non-photographers all had excellent views since there was only one person in each row of seats in the vehicle, affording clear viewing out both sides of the vehicle. Due to the ability of our guides, we saw all of the "big nine" animals in Tanzania, many in incredible numbers. A relative of mine recently went on a similar Safari in Botswana, paid more than double the cost of my trip, and did not see all of the big nine, did not experience the cultural aspects that we did, and did not have the opportunity to do a hot air balloon ride. In comparison, the value I recieved for money spent was extrordinary. This was truly the trip of a lifetime and I would highly recommend Landsman Experience since they made the trip the incredible adventure that it was.

Amazing drivers made for a great safari!
Landsmen was the company that handled all the arrangements for a photography class safari we went on in late August/early September this year. The accommodations arranged were quite nice with great staff and good food.
The drivers, however, were the best part of the safari (well, except for the animals). They handled the rutted and dirt roads like the pros they are but more importantly, they knew the animals and could spot them so quickly. And they knew a lot about photography, or at least what the photographers in the group would want (that golden hour light, for example). They would move to get new or better angles. I am not a photographer but I got to see a LOT of animals and spend time with them.
They also called the situation perfectly when we were waiting to see a crossing during the Great Migration – we watched most of the vehicles waiting leave and our drivers just passed out lunches to us and told us to be patient – the animals started crossing a few minutes later.
The safari trip also included canoeing on Lake Maryana, meeting with a couple of tribal families (different tribes and lifestyles) and a hot air balloon ride. We were very happy with the trip.
Landsmen also arranged a Rwandan Gorilla Trek for my husband and me – great driver/guide in Rwanda, a wonderful lodge to stay near the trek location and a very nice place to stay in Kigali. Overall, we would happily work with them again.

The place that brings your safari dreams to life!
Our safari in Serengeti and Ngorongoro was truly unforgettable thanks to our amazing guide, Gerald Kani. He always drove safely, explained everything with kindness, and went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable throughout the trip. Thanks to his sharp eyes, we were able to spot the Big Five and so many other incredible animals. We felt completely at ease and enjoyed every moment. I highly recommend Gerald and this company to anyone planning a safari in Tanzania!
12-Day Ultimate Photographic Safari in Tanzania
This 12-day adventure was the trip of my life-time! While the hours were long, dusty and exhausting, they were worth every minute (and dollar) spent. The breadth of what we were able to see and experience far exceeded my expectations. Our guides were friendly and very knowledgable about the animals (where to find them, their behaviors), and about the landscape and various cultures of Tanzania - and their driving skills were amazing - as was their good humor. The vehicles were comfortable (most of the time) and we were able to limit 3 travelers per vehicle most times - allowing for maximum viewing from both sides of the vehicle. In addition to the many large and small animals we saw (including the great migration crossing of the river, mating of cheetahs and baby lions playing), other highlights included visiting the Hadzabe and Maasai tribes, a balloon ride over the Serengeti and a small plane flight from the Serengeti to Arusha. We stayed in very nice accommodations - with beautiful views and friendly and helpful staff (a few issues with showers - all fixed as needed). I traveled as a single "senior" woman - and received all of the support and care I needed (plus more!) from guides and lodging staff. Our group of 12 had ample time together...and we all left for home happy and tired.

Honeymoon in zanzibar
Our honeymoon in Zanzibar was unforgettable thanks to Landsman Experience. From a warm airport welcome to private sunset cruises, spice farm tours, and romantic dinners on the beach, every detail was perfectly arranged. The team blended relaxation, adventure, and culture seamlessly, making the whole trip feel personal and effortless. Zanzibar is stunning, but Landsman Experience made it truly magical

Amazing Safari in Tanzania
My 6 day safari tour in Tanzania was absolutely amazing. We went to various parks and saw ALL of the animals we wanted to and so close up!! Our guide Mac was so kind and knowledgeable! He went above and beyond answering questions and sharing so much knowledge about the animals and the environment. I hope I can go back to do this tour again one day.
I am a high school teacher so my safari guide even agreed to zoom with my class and explain to them the effects of climate change in Tanzania!!
