I never thought it would happen!
My adult daughter and i traveled with gazelle safaris for two and one-half days. Our vehicle was sturdy and offered great viewing, either sitting or standing. Our fellow travelers (from Germany) were another mother-daughter duo, friendly and frolicsome. We had plenty of room in the vehicle. The guide was most knowledgeable and spoke English beautifully. We saw 39 different animals! My daughter counted them! There were frequent stops for photo opportunities and the food was good, plentiful and nicely packaged. We stayed in a lodge and while we preferred the tent safari (sold out), we were happy in the lodge, the staff was most attentive and walked us to our bandas at night. My daughter handled the communications - they were clear and politely done. We will remember our safari forever and with great pleasure! Thanks again!

Most incredible short safari tour but very well organised
I am from Los Angeles, California and had taken a trip to Tanzania in October 2013. It was most organized tour package even though it was a short trip of only 2 day from Songwe Airport to Ruaha National Park and back to Mbeya, and also with a very short notice. Kudos to Umang at Gazelle Safari who did a fabulous job and also to the drivers. It was the first time my daughter was ever going to see animals in their natural habitat. The camp selected by Gazelle was amazing as well. Tandala Safari Camp is a place you need to see to experience how wonderful it is. The tour was extremely wonderful we got to see a lot of game in the time frame we had. Umang had arranged the safari and had asked the tour guide to show us as much they can within the time we had and I will once again say thank you for the wonderful trip. I will recommend Gazelle Safari to all. And also there prices are very reasonable. Call them to experience the most wonderful tour ever. If I ever come back I will for sure use them again.

This group went above and beyond in flexibility, kindness, and professionalism
From start to finish, our safari with Gazelle was a pleasure. My 80-year-old mother and I were so well cared for, and little niceties throughout added to the fun: things like catering to food preferences, changes to the schedule, pick-ups and drop-offs added to the ease and joy of our time with them. We toured Ruaha National Park and stayed at Hilltop Lodge, and had such good fortune to see 34 different species of wildlife and birds. Our stellar guide knew the names and habits of ALL of them, and our accommodating driver tracked lions for us. I felt so lucky to go with Gazelle, and would not hesitate to recommend them! A trip worth doing, most definitely, and a group to trust, most certainly.

Caring, comprehensive and organized
The accommodations and game viewing exceeded our expectations. Our guide and driver was very knowledgeable, exceeding polite and demonstrated great care for all those around including other guests to his environment. The accommodations on the river were serene and beautiful.

Unforgettable experience
We went on a trip to Ruaha National Park with Gazelle Safaris for my thirtieth birthday and it was a birthday I'll never forget. The park itself, the many animals we were lucky enough to see up close and the beautiful accommodation had a lot to do with that. But being an experienced traveller I have booked tours with operators in various countries all over the world and I can say without a doubt that this tour company had a lot to do with that as well. I think the main difference with most tour companies was that the level of service was personal, sincere and dedicated to fit our individual needs. The welcoming, friendly owners knew a lot about the area, which was helpful in deciding where to go and what to do on our trip. The whole trip was perfectly organised, everything was on time, taken care of and there was even a birthday cake. The atmosphere was always relaxed, good humoured and laid-back and the owners clearly cared about the wildlife and the importance of protecting them. We truly had an amazing time and hope that one day we'll be able to return and bring our son to this part of Tanzania.

Fantastic Short Safari to Ruaha
Gazelle was very flexible & responsive in planning the tour. Very clear about cost & method of payment. They arranged a wonderful safari lodge & places to stop en-route to the park. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable about the wildlife and the park itself. We saw just about all of the animals we'd hoped to see and some we'd never heard of! I'd highly recommend them as a safari operator.

Best experience!!
We had an awesome time with Umang and Chris on the Safari in Ruaha. We saw so many animals (e.g. lions 2 meters away) and the landscape was incredible. We would definetely recommend Gazelle Safaris as they do the best they can to make sure you are having a time you will never forget in your whole live. Two thumbs up!
