Best Experience in my life
5/5

It was the greatest Experience I ever had, not only because the guides were the nicest people I ever met, also because the company always knew where to look for animals. The tour was really Great, I saw animals like lions, giraffes, rhinos, elephants, all kinds of birds, leopards and every wild animal I could think of, I think that was only possible because of our guides. I really really can’t say anything bad about everything, thanks to them, so if u are searching for safaris, this is the best choice you could make in my opinion, after all I’m really really grateful for all the experiences!

John was funny, informative, and took a lot of time to explain everything.
5/5

Our safari with John was an unforgettable experience. He always had a joke ready, which made every moment even more enjoyable. Thanks to him, we were able to see so many amazing animals and learned a lot about wildlife and nature. The accommodations were fantastic—we stayed in tents right inside the national park, surrounded by animals. We also met incredibly kind people along the way. I would love to do it again!

I’m very happy you enjoyed the fun moments, the wildlife knowledge, and of course the incredible game drives. Seeing so many animals while learning about nature is what makes a Tanzania safari so special.

Authentic
5/5

Our family had the most incredible safari experience with John in the Serengeti in July 2024—truly a trip we will never forget. From the moment we arrived, everything was seamless, well-organized, and thoughtfully planned.

John is an exceptional guide. His knowledge of the wildlife, landscape, and local culture was impressive, but what really stood out was his passion and attention to detail. He always seemed to know exactly where to go—we witnessed breathtaking scenes, including close-up encounters with lions, elephants, giraffes, and even a dramatic river crossing during the migration. Every game drive felt like a once-in-a-lifetime moment.

He was also incredibly patient, friendly, and great with our whole family, making sure everyone—from adults to kids—felt comfortable, engaged, and excited. He answered every question, shared fascinating insights, and made the experience both educational and fun.

The accommodations, timing of drives, and overall flow of the trip were perfectly handled. We never felt rushed, yet we saw and experienced so much. Watching the sunrise over the Serengeti and ending the day under a sky full of stars were moments we’ll always treasure.

If you’re considering a safari, we cannot recommend John highly enough. He turned an amazing destination into an unforgettable adventure. This was more than just a trip—it was a truly special experience that our family will cherish forever.

Accommodating, welcoming, warm, knowledgeable and insightful
5/5

From the beginning, organising the trip was very simple, smooth and easy.

Cuthbert was extremely patient with us as he made around 5 itineraries, making sure we saw all the main spots we needed within the time frame we had.

They were the only company accommodating a 6 month old baby, otherwise we would not have been able to do the safari.

Upon arrival at the airport, we were kindly greeted by 3 people including Cuthbert which gave us a lot of calm and ease since we were communicating with him for beforehand.

Our driver John made us comfortable from the moment we met him with his warm smile, joyous personality and bubbly patient bright character.
He had a large car ready with a baby seat which was very thoughtful, as well as plenty of water, snacks and a fridge.

We started our trip to lake Manyara where he was a perfect tour guide explaining key things about the locals on the way, as well as detailed knowledge about the national park and landscape historically.

He took us to our hotels on our trip, waited patiently for us in the mornings and found all the animals we wanted to see in the Serengeti.

He didn’t pressure us at any times, even holding the baby for us who loved him very much.

He showed us the best spots in Ngorongoro and even arranged a visit to a Masai village for us.

He constantly stopped to accommodate the baby’s needs and never once made us feel pressured or a burden.

He was by us all the way until the end where I was a little ill and even arranged another flight just in case.

I massively recommend anyone looking to book to use these guys as it was genuinely an unforgettable experience, and we’re already planning a return trip starting from Kilimanjaro this time

Outstanding 4-Day Safari with Wilderness Insights Safaris
We are two couples from the UK and had an absolutely incredible 4-day safari with Wilderness Insights Safaris, visiting Lake Manyara, Ndutu (2 nights), and the Ngorongoro Crater.
From the very beginning, everything was perfectly organised — smooth transfers, excellent accommodation, and a well-planned itinerary that made the most of every day. Each destination offered something special: beautiful scenery and tree-climbing lions in Lake Manyara, amazing wildlife encounters in Ndutu, and the unforgettable experience of descending into the Ngorongoro Crater.
Our guide, John, truly made this safari exceptional. His knowledge of wildlife, parks, and local culture was outstanding. He always knew where to find the animals and took time to explain what we were seeing. John was professional, friendly, patient, and made us feel safe and well cared for throughout the trip. His driving skills and respect for wildlife were excellent.
We saw an incredible variety of animals, including lions, elephants, cheetahs, giraffes, zebras, wildebeest, and many more — far beyond our expectations. The safari vehicle was comfortable and well maintained, and meals and lodges were excellent.
We highly recommend Wilderness Insights Safaris to anyone planning a safari in Tanzania. This was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again. Thank you, John and the entire Wilderness Insights team, for unforgettable memories!

A Real-Life NatGeo Experience in the Serengeti
5/5

John was an exceptional guide for our 4 days in Serengeti National Park. We did multiple game drives, and like everyone else, we hoped to witness all of the Big Five—and John was more than eager to make that happen. His knowledge of the park was outstanding. He knew the best spots and constantly coordinated with other guides to ensure we reached locations where the action was happening live.
The entire experience felt like a real-life NatGeo episode—raw, powerful, and deeply humbling. Being so close to the wilderness truly reminded me of the hierarchy of the food chain and left a lasting impact on me.
John was also incredibly thoughtful and attentive. He made sure I had vegetarian food everywhere we stayed, took some amazing photos for us, and ensured we were comfortable and safe throughout the journey. I will definitely visit again, next time with my kids, and I know without a doubt that I can trust John to plan everything perfectly with great safety measures. Highly recommended!
