Unforgettable experience
During the last part of our volunteering trip in Arusha, we planned to do a wildlife safari before returning home. We did a lot of research and settled on Gilmag Safaris due to all the positive reviews and recommendations. We made a phone call and physically went to their office to book the safari. The staff were welcoming, friendly and professional. We were taken through different carefully customized itineraries to choose from. With the assistance of a very able tour consultant (Priscilla) we settled on a 6 day safari. Priscilla recommended Kessy as our lead tour guide.
The safari itself was simply amazing. We saw lions, cheetahs, hippos, elephants and every other kind of big and small creature in Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro crater; unforgettable experiences! We stayed at Marera Valley Lodge, Serengeti Serena and Tanzania Bush Camp. All were very comfortable, in excellent locations and with great food! Our guide Kessy was great too - extremely knowledgeable and very flexible in terms of helping us get the most out of our experience and try to see the wildlife we were most interested in.
I would like to thank Gilmag Safaris for putting together the trip of a lifetime and highly recommend this company to anyone looking for a tour operator in Tanzania.

Avoid it
Avoid this company. Not trustly company. They keep our money due the coronavirus. Not professional answer or solutions.
Choose other companies... Everything was ok by before the payment and after that they disappear.

They have gone out of their way to ensure I get a perfect safari experience
The safaris itself was very good. The driver/ tour guide was very well informed.
The communication between the Karibu staff was very good and they were able to easily get hold of each other even when we were stuck in the bush. We managed to get help without too many delays.

Amazing experience!!
The Resort was amazing and great food! Our guide was really knowledgable and a really funny guy as well!! We got to see the big 5 as the half-day trip description said. However, some of the animals (giraffe and zebra) were a bit too far to be seen or take pictures of. Our guide tried to get as close as possible, but still, some animals were still a bit far to spot straight away. We understand that we couldn't reach the animals too close because some of them were up on the hills or there were no roads that could lead a bit closer.
Nevertheless, the location was amazing and our guide was just phenomenal. So, we definitely had a great experience! If you are in Cape Town for just a few days, we definitely recommend it!!!

I was recommended by my Sister to try booking my Safari with Hodari Kenya Safaris, and they EXCEEDED MY EXPECTATIONS!
I don't usually write reviews but had to take the time to thank Hodari Kenya Safaris for an incredible experience in the Masai Mara.
Great, friendly service with a personalized touch , We had a fantastic driver Mr. Martin that went off the beaten path many times to find wild life for us.
It was a real adventure. Thank you Martin, Mary and the team!
