An Unforgettable Safari Experience with the Best Guide!
Absolutely incredible experience! We just returned from a three-day safari with John as our guide and driver, and we couldn’t have asked for a better adventure. From start to finish, John made sure every detail was tailored to what we wanted, creating a truly customized experience that exceeded all expectations.
His deep knowledge of the wildlife, landscapes, and local culture brought every moment to life. Whether it was tracking elusive big cats, spotting rare birds, or finding the perfect sundowner spot, John’s expertise and instincts were unmatched. He always seemed to know exactly where to be at the right time, making each game drive exciting and full of surprises.
Beyond his skills as a guide, John was a fantastic travel companion—warm, funny, and genuinely passionate about what he does. His enthusiasm was contagious, and his patience in answering our endless questions made the experience even more enriching.
Everything was seamless, from early morning starts to long drives. The way he handled the vehicle over some challenging terrain was impressive, ensuring we were always comfortable and safe.
This safari was a dream come true, and John played a huge role in making it so special. If you’re lucky enough to have him as your guide, you’re in for an unforgettable journey!

The most caring, loyal, knowledgeable person who became a good friend in a short amount of time.
This trip was the most fun, life changing experience I ever had. I was very nervous going into this trip not knowing what to expect, but I'm so glad I didn't let my fears stop me from going on the trip. I got to see so many lions, elephants, zebras, giraffes, Buffalo, etc. We even were able to find some rhino, a leapers and a cheetah! One of my all time favorite parts was eating dinner with our guide John every night. Hearing his stories and learning about him and his family was so fun and while we heard that usually guests don't eat with their guide, I wouldn't trade that time with John for the world. We got to spend a lot of time with him over the week we were there and I am so blessed that I can now call him a friend. He took such good care of my family and I and made sure we got everything we wanted and more out of our trip. Whenever I talk about this trip and hear people say they always have wanted to do a safari, I always tell them about John and Wilderness Insights Safaris.

Years of experience and a deep love for wildlife = unforgettable safari experiences !!
We have traveled to many countries in Africa as a family but John was the best guide we ever had. He has masterfully understood how to respond to all wishes and with his experience and organizational talent, it has become an individual journey beyond the mainstream. His expertise, his calmness in tense situations and his humor delighted us. He always knew the best scenic spots and often correctly predicted the behavior of the animals so that we took home incomparable experiences and photos from Tanzania. In many great conversations we also learned a lot about the country and its people. Despite his professionalism, John has remained a great guy you can always rely on. If necessary: John also speaks very good German. We will gladly come back to Tanzania and I am sure that John and his team will organize and implement another unforgettable trip for us.

Had a great time!!
Traveled with John Malley in several reserves around Tanzania. John was great - set up for us the whole trip, exactly as we wanted it. Was very knowledgeable and professional and, of course, very good company.
He also took care of everything if there were problems with the car, etc.
And - a great spotter! Always found the most interesting things to see.
Many thanks John!
