Very helpful
I had John as my driver and he was very helpful when it came to explaining the different species of animal. He was also very funny and added laughter into out safari tours.

Gilmag Safaris delivered The Big 5 on the first day of safari
From the very first interaction with Mary via email and then WhatsApp, she responded to questions almost immediately. She assured me regarding my concerns. The package she created was perfect. The lodges were excellent and the arrangement of where we started and finished was great.
We spent seven days with our guide Nickson in Tanzania on safari and he made our trip memorable. He found us all of the Big Five within the first day!
The all-inclusive price was incredibly fair. My family greatly liked and enjoyed the excellent services offered by Gilmag Safaris. I would recommend Gilmag Safaris anytime. Their rates and willingness to make sure we got what we wanted was spot on!

Been a very good tour
We were very happy with the tour. The driver explained everything to us intensively and we saw all the animals. Luckily we had a vehicle without windows. I can really recommend that. Without a window you have a real safari frenzy. We would like to thank Kihindo and Deo Safari Tours for this nice day.

Chill, fun , considerate individual that was more than happy to help with problems along the trip
When we first arrived in Nairobi the Jocky Tours and Safaris staff were welcoming and friendly.
Our tour operator Jimmy drove us around the Masai Mara, Lake Nakaru and Amboseli all of which was an amazing experience. Jimmy was fantastic at navigating the Safaris, allowing our group to take the best pictures possible. Jimmy is a great personality conversationally and assisted with any problems that we had.

Great value for money and super staff!
With so many tour operators we didn't know on how to choose one. After sending several enquiries via mail and recieving different offers we decided to call Jemimah at Alphadean Tours. The impression over the phone was very good and so we booked with them a budget 9 days Kenya and Tanzania safari tour.
Jemimah was there literally all the time before we arrived in Nairobi. Every question was answered and a lot of information sent.
Upon arrival in Kenya we were picked up at the airport and brought to the office where we paid and got to meet Jemimah :)
The next day the safari started. We went to Nakuru, Masai Mara and Amboseli in Kenya. The group was mixed and as it is a joining safari not consistend over the whole trip. Our guide and driver Anthony was very knowledgeable a great driver and always in a good mood. We enjoyed all parks, especially Masai Mara, and saw sooo many animals. Accomodation was basic as described for the budget trip but still beyond our expectation.
After crossing the Namanga border we started the Tanzanian part of the tour. The group was fixes on this side of the border and we enjoyed three more days with a great group and Nico, our guide, who was awesome as Anthony before. Visiting Serengeti and Ngorongoro crater was again a great experience. We knew we were camping which was actually nicer than expected. Our cook in Tanzania was also excellent and we enjoyed his food a lot!
All in all the budget trip was a perfect balance between seeing a lot for a price well worth it. If you are looking for luxury you should book a luxury private tour. In case you would like to see many different parks, animals and nature and meet other people this is highly recommended.
Thank you, Alphadean Tours and especially Jemimah!

Our tour operator Jimmy is kind hearted, informative and friendly
Our tour operator jimmy ensured our well being was good by checking up on us during our rides. During our rides in the safari he enlightened us greatly on the nature of the wildlife in the safari and waited patiently for us as we took our photos. He also greatly informed us on Kenya itself and it’s people in terms of the current news

The best safari experience ever!!!❤
In June 2023 my husband and I finally went to Uganda! It was our dream to see the mountain gorillas so in March 2023 we started checking for some tour operators offering safaris in Uganda on safaribookings.com. The first one we contacted was Big Apes Africa. Since the first contact with Peter, we immediately liked his way of dealing with us: he was polite, honest, clear, and he never insisted or kind of forced us to book immediately, he was always telling us: take your time, choose what is best for you, no rush my friend, etc. We really appreciated him. Of course, we received also quotes from other tour operators, but we decided immediately to stick with Peter and the safari he planned and customised specifically for us to meet our needs (in terms of time, budget and experiences we wanted to make). We made the payment, everything went smoothly and in June we were finally in Uganda.
Our safari with Peter was simply amazing!

Trustworthy and responsive to our request
Two of us had a private 3-day Safari tour with our guide and driver, Am Noely. Other than the fascinating landscape and animals seen especially in the paradise like Ngorogoro creator, we got the chance to dance with Maasai people and had blessing prayers for all their suffering during the Covid pandemics. We also had a walking tour to the local traditional market with his explanation of the daily life of local people and knowing his life story like friends. This was an unforgettable and eye opening trip for our in depth understanding of the beautiful Tanzania.

Very well managed tour
Right from the beginning, the trip was perfect.
Hellen helped us plan our trip, was very responsive in answering all our questions. Then we were lucky to have Johnnie as our guide, a very friendly and knowledgable guide. We spotted the big 5 thanks to him and had a wonderful time overall. Stays at Maara, Nakuru and Amboseli were very comfortable.
