wonderful first safari with a great ranger
Overall rating
5/5

I believe that everything was just great. This was our first safari and it was as enjoyable for kids than for us. We had the chance to meet the big 5 and the ugly 5 too!
Rachid, our ranger was very nice and professional and he took great care of us. the accomodations we have chosen were good too.
People were very kind and friendly.
Weather was good even though it was cloudy in morning the dyas were sunny.
wildlife and animals were stunning. We could see the wildbeest migration and crossing Mara river : top! even if few have been killed by crocodiles :(
I was a bit disappointed by N'gorongoro crater : I was expecting more of it and thought it would be the best place. To us it was too crowded (40 or 50 cars around a rhino!!!). That's the only bad comment i could give.
For the rest, it was just great.

Our safari met all of our expectations, safety, excitement, knowledgeable driver and we saw 4 of the big 5! All of our requests were just what we asked for.

Unforgettable life experience. Highly recommended!
5/5

I went on 7 days safari tour: Kasane- Chobe – Savute - Moremi – Maun – Makgadikgadi – Kasane in july 2014. I have to say that Botswana has the most beautiful landscape I have ever seen.
I also had the best time with Kaizer. He is the best guide - expert, reliable, funny, made us feel safe all the time... Very experienced with lots of knowledge.
I would recommend professional guide Kaizer, who is also a great driver, to all my friends in Slovenia.
It was a lifetime experience, that is difficult to put into words. I will definitely go on this Tour again as soon as it will be possible and I hope that I will be guided by Kaizer again.

I was given the adventure of a lifetime!
5/5

My experience with Gilmag safaris was unparalleled by any other company. I have travelled to many destinations, and used many tour operators over the last ten years, and have never been met and catered to in the way that I have with this tour company. The professionalism that i encountered was far beyond most companies, and Mary's personal touch to ensure that all of my flight connections, accomodation, and airport transfers confirmed that I was dealing with the best tour operator in Tanzania. In the future I will only use Gilmag Safaris, for the African adventures I crave.

5/5

We are 5 Norwegians who highly recommend Daigel Torus. A day trip to Mikumi is something we will never forget. Very nice and knowledgeable guide in a lovely setting. Next time we will also have a sunset and sunrise with the wild animals :-) We will return

Wonderful! We saw so many animals! We saw animals hunting, mating and taking care of their young! A+
5/5

A trip to Tanzania was number 1 on my bucket list. To make this dream happen, I contacted “Shadows of Africa” to help me put this trip together. I could not picked a better company! The trip was wonderful in every way.
I did my homework before I contacted “Shadows of Africa” and had a general vision of what I would like the trip to be like, parks to visit, timeline, and accommodations. Jake McCormick and Stacy Breen, the Safari Specialists, with “Shadows of Africa” listened to my vision, and did their best to make it happen. They answered all my questions in a timely manor. They made good suggestions to make the most of our trip. The accommodations they lined up were wonderful. A good, balance between tented camps and lodges, all well run, that added to our safari experience. Shadows of Africa has a USA office in addition to an office in Tanzania.
My boyfriend and I usually like to travel independently. In Tanzania, the two of us traveled with our Shadows of Africa guide and driver Dickson Julius in a Toyota Land Cruiser, modified for safari travel. What a fantastic guide and driver he was! Dickson strived everyday to make our trip memorable. We just didn’t see animals. We saw animals doing thing like hunting, mating, or caring for their young. Dickson could read the movements of the animals, and knew when “something special” was going to happen. We saw so many birds and animals! Elephants, leopards, cheetahs, lions, impalas oryxes, jackals, hyenas, warthogs, rhinos, zebras, and MANY more. Dickson was a master at navigating the terrain. One evening, while we were in the Serengeti, we had a heavy rain storm, so the next day the roads were sloppy. That didn’t stop Dickson. He knew those conditions would be the best to see the hippos. When we saw the hippos that day, they were active in the water, with their mouths open, enjoying the infusion of fresh rainwater. Dickson was able to drive the Land Cruiser to places I never thought we could get to. But, he also knew where not to go. There was a river in Tarangire National park, that he decided not to cross at the first crossing. So we crossed it at a different location, further up river. Later in that day, we can back to the first crossing and there was another land cruiser stuck badly at that crossing where Dickson knew not to cross. I would love to go back to Tanzania, and without a doubt, I will use Shadows of Africa and hope to get Dickson as our driver.
Our trip consisted of 1 day in Arusha to overnight after arriving from USA, 2 days at Tarangire NP, 1 day at Lake Manyara NP, 2 days in the Serengeti NP- Ndutu Region, 2 days in the Serengeti NP- Central region, 1 day Ngorongoro Crater, 1 day Lake Eyasi, 1 day near Mt. Kilimanjaro and airport to fly home. Our trip was late February and Early March.

Majestic Vastness of Serengetti---I'll always remember.
5/5

I've Traveled in Latin Am, Asia, Europe and Africa & I appreciated Hilary and the Suricata Guide-Driver and cook! Hilary, the owner was so hospitable, on-time, and thoughtful to us. His price was reasonable and yet he helped us in extra ways, like taking us to the shuttle bus to Nairobi, even though we had already paid him and he did not have to do this big favor for us! I enjoyed the safari---especially the majestic vastness of the Serengetti. Emmanuel, the driver/guide has amazing eyes for spotting animals and is kind and thoughtful towards his guests in the safari. Dionnis, the cook prepares really good food and it comes on time---a big contrast to the lackadasical service we experienced at even a supposed 5 star hotel in Arusha. If I could do it over again, I would arrange to spend 2 days and 2 nights in the Serengetti, and sacrifice Tanguire or Manyara during a 5 day safari.
