Excellent and responsive service from Rama at Gecko Adventure Tanzania. We had an amazing trip!
We did a 12 day long safari adventure with Gecko Adventure Tanzania with a custom itinerary provided by Rama which featured 6 days in Kenya going through Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Amboselli National Parks which was amazing. The other 6 days were spent on safari through Tanzania, visiting Lake Manyara, Lake Tangarine, Serengeti and Ngorongoro crater which was a wonderful experience.
Following that we also did the 6 day Rongai route trek to get to the summit of Kilimanjaro - The team catered to our every need on the mountain, preparing us as best as possible to get to the summit. We were very happy once we got to the top, and even happier when we got to put our feet up and relax after completing the entire journey.
Both safaris and the trek were organised with precision by Rama. Sam and I couldn't have been happier with the service that was delivered.

We had a fantastic trip to Mikumi National Park — lots of animals and easy logistics.
Gecko Adventure was easy to coordinate with, even though we reserved our trip last-minute. Edgar, our guide, was fastidious in making sure that we saw as many animals as we could squeeze into our two days' of game drives, and he looked after us well. Even though it was the start of the wet season, we managed to check all the animals off our list that we had hoped for.

Amazing experience and great price.
Since I was on a budget, I tried to find a cheaper safari and lowered my expectations a bit. This experience surpassed my expectations of a safari and will probably be one of the more memorable experiences of my life. I did a three day safari in Selous. Otto and Antony picked us up in Dar es Salaam and drove us 7 hours to Selous. The safari costed 400USD and included our transport to and from Selous, food, stay, and park fees. The food was really good, and we stayed in a treehouse over looking the beautiful Rufiji river. I woke up to the sound of hippos playing outside my deck. The guides were so kind and accommodating. People kinda talked down about Selous because it’s such a huge reserve, but I saw a wide variety of animals and particularly enjoyed the river cruise. All in all, a great experience and I would absolutely recommend Otto and Gecko Adventure to anyone looking for a great safari for a good price.

Amazing experience start to finish
My husband and I used Gecko Adventure Tanzania for a private safari in Mikumi Park and have had a brilliant experience! They have been prompt and friendly in responding to my (many) enquirers and have proactively suggested many options to personalize our safari to best suite our needs.
We were picked up on time by a highly experienced and professional guide who took interest in what we were most interested in and tailored our tour. My husband really wanted to see lions and despite his efforts to find them they were hiding during the days but our guide Msafiri made calls throughout the day to some of the local guides and rangers and found a number of lions for us to see!
I highly recommend the company and would happily use them again in the future!
Thank you Gecko Adventure Tanzania for such a wonderful experience!

Reliable company
We were very satisfied with the service, and we felt that the company cares about the details. The communication before and during traveling was excellent. The entire trip was very well organized, and it was a good value for the money. I didn't feel ripped off, I got exactly the same service I requested.
Just one comment: However our guide was a very knowledgeable guy, he didn't share too much information on his own, unless we asked him to do so (then he went into the details, and explained many things).
I would definitely chose this company again.

very good safari experience would book again with gecko
very good experience with gecko. the communication was very good (and quick). all our questions were answered. Everything was arranged without flaws from being picked up at the airport, to lodges, games drives to support by checking in for the return flight. The guide was good knowledgeable and very good for the kids (7 + 10 years). I would have absolutely no hesitation to recommend gecko and would happily book again myself.

2-day trip to Mikumi - fantastic experience
We were a family of four (two kids, 12 and 15 y o) that hade the opportunity to go with Gecko to Mikumi from Dar (and back).
The communication before the trip was flawless and the guide and driver, Said, was an absolute pleasure to be travelling with. He was extremely knowledgeable and had a knack for finding exactly the right spots to look for the animals. Also, we learned a lot about Tanzania as a country driving through the countryside together with him.
We were very happy to have chosen the two-day trip. The two days were very different in terms of the animals we saw - and the first day we were lucky enough to see both lions and elephants very close by.
We can only recommend Gecko to others that may consider the same type of trip.

Two great days in Mikumi
We spent two days with Gecko in Mikumi. We had some unforgettable moments with lions and elephants only a couple of meters from the jeep. Our guide was very nice and helpful during the trip. I would definitely travel with Gecko again.
