Outstanding safari experience!
We have just returned to Canada from an absolutely outstanding 7 day safari. Our party of 4 spent the first two days in Mikumi National Park (Camp Bastian Mikumi), followed by 3 days at Ruaha National Park (Ruaha Hilltop Lodge) and finally 2 days at Udzungwa Mountain National Park and Sanje Waterfalls (Udzungwa Forest Camp). We cannot say enough about the entire trip. Our guide Rama was delightful, always on time, very thoughtful and funny and always prepared to go the extra mile. We enjoyed a few extras including a wonderful guided tour of a local village in the Udzungwa area. Rama was truly a talent in finding all of the animals and looked after us very well. The accommodations were all very good as were the meals at each location. Gecko Adventures was very easy to deal with in getting the safari and arrangements organized and lived up to all of their commitments. We would recommend Gecko Adventure Tanzania to everyone.

Gecko Organized Our Terrific Trip to Selous Game Reserve and Zanzibar
Gecko is a first-rate operation. They were tireless in offering different options for both the safari and Zanzibar beach parts of our trip, and then being super-responsive and helpful throughout, both before and after we booked. The trip itself was terrific, and everything was perfectly organized, especially the accommodation and transport reservations, as well as all transfers. Both Rama in the office and Rama on safari as our guide did an excellent job, as did Amani as our Zanzibar contact. It was also important to us to work with locally-based operators, and Gecko is great in this regard too. I would travel with them again in a minute and recommend them unreservedly.

Incredible Experience
Otto was an outstanding guide during our recent safari to Tanzania. He was responsible for our safari from the moment we landed in KIA till we departed.
We visited Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater and it was awesome. I remember the many close encounters with lions, elephants, baboons, wildebeest, zebras and giraffes along with many other animals. The birdlife in Tanzania is vibrant and Otto loves the birds, he actually knew all the birds we encountered on the safari.
Otto drove well and was careful in his approach so as not to spook the animals, he also kept the vehicle clean and well stocked with water.
In general the trip was amazing and exceeded all our expectations

A lasting safari experience of the highest quality!
We spent a week on safari with Gecko Adventures. Even when booking this exciting trip, Rama's advice was excellent; our requests for adjustments were well understood, and the package was tailored accordingly. The contact was very friendly, and responses always came within minutes or a few hours.
Throughout the entire trip, we felt reliably looked after – both by the head office (thanks Rama) and by our guide (thanks Minja). Communication with Rama during the safari was via a WhatsApp group.
The safari was wonderful; we saw as many animals as we could have wished for. A superlative experience!
Our guide, Minja, an extremely empathetic, polite, and friendly person, knows Tanzania and, in particular, the parks like the back of his hand. We felt completely comfortable and safe.
We highly recommend Gecko Adventures – a lasting safari experience of the highest quality! Our sincere thanks to Rama and Minja! Asante sana, Reto & Sonja

Awesome trekking with the best guides
Reaching Uhuru Peak would have felt almost impossible without Juma our lead on Kilimanjaro with his calm confidence and deep knowledge of the mountain kept us steady when the altitude and cold really kicked in. He always checked in on how we were feeling, making sure we were warm enough and adjusting to the height.
Earlier in the trek, before things got tough, the whole Gecko Adventure Tanzania crew set the tone. Juma and Baraka brought this easy, uplifting energy that made every campsite feel lighter. The team was constantly cracking jokes, sharing stories, and somehow turning even the coldest nights into something fun.
Looking back, the combination of their positivity, care, and experience is really what made the whole climb unforgettable.

What an amazing adventurous holiday in Tanzania and Zanzibar
Our wedding anniversary began on the slopes of Kilimanjaro, ascending the Lemosho route with Gecko Adventure Tanzania. Musa and Bena guided us with warmth and grace through whispering forests, open moorlands, and the hushed heights of the alpine expanse. Shared laughter, hearty meals, and the rhythm of footsteps made the climb magical. Reaching the summit felt like touching a dream.
After the mountain, Zanzibar welcomed us with its soft air and rich history. Hussein led us through the twisting streets of Stone Town, the quiet beauty of Jozani Forest, and a spice trail alive with color and scent. Matemwe with the beautiful white sandy beaches was tranquil and exquisite. Calm waters, bright coral, and gentle shores offered a serene and unforgettable finale to a journey filled with awe and wonder.

Truly an unforgettable experience!
Our 5-day safari with Gecko Adventure Tanzania was an incredible mix of wildlife and cultural exploration. We began at Lake Manyara, a compact park where we encountered baboons, elephants, and a pride of tree-climbing lions. Then, we spent three days in the Serengeti, where we marveled at vast herds of wildebeest, lions lounging in the grass, and the endless golden plains. A highlight was visiting the Hadzabe Bushmen at Lake Eyasi, where we learned about their fascinating hunting skills and ancient way of life. We also explored the historic Olduvai Gorge, home to some of the earliest human fossils, and visited the museum that brings the region’s rich history to life. Each day, we stayed in comfortable, well-appointed lodges, where we were treated to delicious meals and great service. This safari offered the perfect balance of wildlife adventure and cultural immersion
