A wonderful experience with Mama Savanna ; Safari/Beach holiday
We were so pleased with our first safari that was catered to our costs and hotel accommodations. Everything went as planned, no hiccups and the food and lodges and the tented camps were superb. From the first stages of planning and booking to the dropoff to airport , Alex had made sure of all the details. Our driver, Alan was great and patient with us (my daughter and I) and we had toured the serengeti, crater, Manyara , Natron and then we finished with the 7 day island of Zanzibar. The sightings and experience with wildlife will be with us forever. Truly a wonderful experience! The weather and food was in our favour also.

If you love wildlife visiting Tanzania is something you must do.
First let me say that Suricata Safaris was fantastic to work with. I especially loved there guides while climbing Kilimanjaro and going on safari for seven days. I am a professional photographer and they were more than willing to work with me on getting the perfect shot. I can not say enough about them. I have visited many beautiful places and climbed a lot of mountains. Tanzania and Kilimanjaro have there own unique and beautiful vibe. Very similar to the wonderful people that live there. The wildlife is second to none in my opinion. Elephants, lions, hippos, leaopards, cheetahs, antelope, it was all there and in massive numbers. Visiting Tanzania is something every adventurer needs to do. If you are reading this wondering if you should go then do it. You will not regret it.

wonderful first safari with a great ranger
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 driver was very helpful in sharing information about all animals, terrain & looking for animal
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!
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!
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.

Fantastic
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+
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.
