GREAT TOUR WITH A GREAT GUIDE
The communication with Rama was excellent. He advised us in a great way and listened to our needs so that we could have the best experience.
The car was great, we were just 2 people, my friend and I.
The accomodation was clean and greatly located. The staff was super friendly and helfpul.
The only thing that we were a bit disappointed about was not being able to do a walking safari in the morning because we had to leave around 10am to catch our ferry in Dar and it was duting the weekdn so the driver was concerned we would miss the ferry. We went to visit the village instead but it was not the same.
Thank you however, Rama, it was a great and beautiful experience!!!!

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.

Solid experience, knowledgeable guide
No complaints could be made. Rama was very good answering all initial queries. Otto was very knowledgeable and good company.
Saw 3 of the big 5. no rhino, no leopard.
Driving from Dar Es Salaam to Mikumi took 7 hours which is okay as you see the country, but if you cant handle the heat, it can be a long old ride!

Satisfied tour adventure with Gecko
The communications in advance of the tour went very well and quick with Rama the contact person.
The private tour of 5 days was very nice and exciting and we had a very good english speaking gide/driver with very good eyes. He saw most animals much earlyer as we did and we have seen the big five and much more. The accomodation and lodges were very good and met the expectations. It is by the way intended that the guide/driver has dinner with you in the accommodations, which was not told beforehand. If you want to have romantic dinners this is not very convenient. The 4wheeldrive car was very good but the power chargers did not work so bring enough power with you. The partner of Rama was also very friendly and helpfull.

Posted on Oct 21, 2016Many thanks for the review Rolf. I will speak with my guides regarding eating with clients so that can be on request. Also we have been working with power chargers system, they are now working okay.

A different adventure for us
We met with Rama and our guide Gaston; at the time in the morning. Along the way Mikumi National park; we had no trouble..Gaston was very Professional, experienced and very kind..Mikumi is about 4-5 hours from Dar..so you can a little tired during the trip..But when we arrived to Vuma Hills Lounge we stayed , our tiredness over..I definitely recommend Vuma Hills..we stayed 2 nights.. otherwise the game drive was very fantastic.. It was like being a dream or a documantery..We saw a leopard, crocodile, hippo, gnu, impala, elephant, giraffe, zebra, baboon, ,boar, jackal and many animals. Also in the loung the funny bushbabies...
This experience, was very different and like an adventure for us.. We really enjoyed it with Gecko.. Thanks for everything..

Family safari in south of Tanzania
Gecko has been very reactive for the preparation of the Safari with mails exchange from France. They have tailored the trip with my recommandations. No surprise during the safari, everything was perfectly organised
