Great experience - highly recommended
We only had one week planned and it was enough to really get in the thick of it - we saw the big 5 and many many more animals. The wildlife and scenery were absolutely incredible! Great season to visit, chilly in the mornings but very warm when the sun comes up. Everyone we met and our driver was very polite and very welcoming - everyone is very friendly.

I would describe my safari experience as being magical.
I did a 4 day safari with 2 friends and we had an unbelievable time. It surpassed the expectations we had as far as the comfort of our housing and variety of wildlife. I couldn't believe the moments where we were surrounded by herds of elephants and water buffalo. There wasn't 1 safari trip we went on that we didn't come across wildlife. From comparing my safari experience to friends/family I've known who have done them it appears the Manyeleti reserve is hard to beat in terms of what we came across. I might have been most impressed with our guide as his knowledge of the land and animal behavior was impressive and I completely trusted him with my safety being out in the wilderness. All of the staff, food and accommodations were also amazing! Highly recommend this safari!

Awesome and well organized your firm!
This was our second safari with Gilmag Safaris. We went in the end of February. We did a 6 day safari which was planed according to our needs. Mary from Gilmag Safaris suggested the schedule and I must say it was perfectly planned. We tweaked our itinerary so many times, but every query and request was met with enthusiasm and professionalism.
Gilbert and Mary promptly picked us up at the airport in a spotless Land Cruiser. They have great personality. We started in Tarangire, then Ndutu and Serengeti. Gilbert who was our guide was very knowledgeable about the parks and the many animals and birds. The Serena Lodges and Karibu Camps were incredible. The food on this trip was absolutely delicious. Every person we met was friendly and welcoming. Gilbert kept the vehicle clean and comfortable throughout the entire trip with plenty of cold water and assorted soft drinks on hand.
Overall, I was super happy with our experience and I would highly recommend that anyone wanting a customized private safari to use Gilmag Safaris. They are the best.

Wakanda Forever!
Wow! I cannot say enough good things about Serengeti Wakanda. My boyfriend and I had an incredible experience. We went on a 4 day, 3 night budget safari. I think it was just the right amount of time. Maybe one more day. But we saw all we wanted and had a truly fulfilling experience with our time.
First of all, we arrived my bus and Bartho was there waiting to pick us up. He briefed us about the next day and how things would go down and even took us to our hotel after. The next day we were picked up at our hotel by our guide and our safari vehicle. The vehicle is everything you want and more. Pop top, charging ports and spacious; even with full group.
Ernest, our guide, was an absolute gem :) He is so knowledgeable and kind. I felt very safe with him. He knows the parks and animals like the back of his hand. We saw every animal we wanted. He was very flexible and patient with us wanting to take pictures or stay with the animals longer.
Oh, and our chef was amazing as well. We were so well fed. Never could you go hungry! Our accomondations were wonderful as well. Slept in a hotel one night and two nights in a tent on the ground. Highly recommend the tent option for a true safari feel.

We did a 5-days safari with Boundless Africa Journeys. Everything was excellent from the booking, the information received, and of course the tour itself. The guide was really helpfull and knowable, the accommodation was great. We can only recommend!

Excellent service in these troubling times
All set for a safari when the coronavirus pandemic struck. We have had to cancel. Esther was very understanding and has kindly processed the refund efficiently. Much better than our airline!
We will be back to try again.

Excellence in the safari parks, and accommodations of lodging and food.
Would highly recommend booking with Esa Safaris. This exceeded any expectations I had. The lodging and food were Five Stars. The food as amazing, the sleeping, hot water, bedding, by far the best ever and yet you had the sense and feel of a safari and bush living. Everyday, we thought, this cannot be topped...and the next day, it was. All three drivers were so full of knowledge (Eric, Christopher and George). There was not one animal I did not see. The birds, the wildlife, the trees.....we saw it all, and learned about it all. We had many cultural visits to schools, tribes, tea farm, a women's co-op weaving (Nanyuki spinners and weavers), Sheldrick Wildlife refuge, breathtaking landscape (kilimanjaro, kenya mountain, vallies, etc). There is not enough space to share the magnitude of joy and beauty this journey offered to us. Everything, was a Star 5 experience. I highly recommend booking safari with Esa Safaris. They will accommodate and customize for all groups (children, churches, photographers etc. I will be back Esa! Thank you for an amazing journey. Our coordinator here in the USA, also did an excellent job!

Excellent experience and customer service
We had a wonderful time on our safari to Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru. Lewis was wonderful and so accommodating during the planning stages. He put together a personalized itinerary that fit my party's needs perfectly, despite my request for several last-minute changes. The safari itself was great. Nelson, our driver, was so kind and accommodating. He worked hard to locate all of the animals in the park--we ended up seeing all of the Big 5! The lodging was as expected. I would highly recommend Mufasa Tours to others.

Exceeded expectations
From the very first email communication to the end of our trip everything was perfect. Our driver was very knowledgable and during our 9 day tour of many of the Kenyan parks we managed to see the big 5 and so much more. All the accommodation we stayed in was superb. Fantastic memories and wonderful photos which will stay with us forever. Thank you Right Choice safaris .
