Very well organized
We had the combination of Beach and Safari. 3 days beach at Reef and Beach in Zanzibar, flying by plane to Arusha, 4 days safari, flying back to Zanzibar and 3 days Reef and Beach. An ideal combination to relax and see the sun and sea in a tropical paradise, and action during the safari. A wonderful experience, well organized, always a warm welcome in the lodges, very helpful staff, and very reliable. Even with a flight delay the driver was still waiting for us.
Only suggestion: book the morning flight back to Zanzibar. Friends of us had the 10.00 flight with flight link and weer at the beach at 12.30. We had the 16.45 flight with a 2 hour delay and arrived 21.00 at the hotel. So we missed a complete day of the beach part of the trip.
Otherwise a wonderful experience and very well organized. Thank you for your good service

What an amazing trip
We had booked a five-day safari with six people. Everything was perfectly organized from the first to the last minute. All the hotels were great, the car was great and the food was excellent, there was even a warm meal for lunch.
Particularly worthy of mention is the Suricata Lodge, a real dream. And of course the one night in a tent, in the middle of the Serengeti.
A special thanks goes to our guide and driver Freddy, we had a very good time with him. Always in a good mood, he took us to the best spots and informed us about the biodiversity. We were able to learn a lot about the country, people and animals. thank you Freddy, you are the best❣️
Thanks also to Daniel, he provided us with all the necessary information for the trip in advance.

Incredible 10 day Safari with Brilliant Adevntures and Safaris!
Safari in Tanzania was on the top of my bucket list for a long time, so naturally I was very nervous about the tour operator we chose. But lucky for me, Brilliant adventures and Safaris really were BRILLIANT!
From the start, everything was excellent. Lightness at head office helped as personalize out itinerary based on what we wanted to see and do, and how much time we had available. She was extremely kind, helpful and replied to any questions very quickly.
My husband and I spent 10 nights and 11 days on Safari with our incredible tour guide Joshua (highly recommend!) He was kind, engaging and helped answer all of the questions that we had about the landscape, animals and the Tanzanian culture. By the end of the trip, he was not just our tour guide but became our friend also. Our 10 day itinerary included a trip to the Materuni waterfalls and local coffee lodge, Arusha national park, Tarangire, Manayara, Ngorongoro, Serengeti and Ndutu. Joshua made sure that we maximised every opportunity we had to see all the wildlife, and lucky for us we were able to see everything! It really was a dream come true.
Spending 11 days on Safari is quite a long time so it was an added benefit that our car was also very comfortable with lots of leg room. I can't thank Joshua, Lightness and the team at Brilliant enough for helping us create such special memories. I would highly recommend getting in touch with this company if you are looking for a Safari provider.

an amazing experience with an amazing agency
For a first Safari experience it was exactly as we had imagined and more.
Contact by e-mail was very quick and easy, and the contact person took the time to answer all our questions before booking.
On site, the service was excellent. The guide (Simon), the photographer (Aisha) and the chef (Dullah) were very attentive throughout our journey. We learned a lot about the flora and fauna thanks to the guides, who have a good knowledge of the environment.
Simon (the guide/driver): very cheerful, taking care to make sure we were as comfortable as possible in the Jeep and our tent. He clearly answered all our questions about everything we could see during the 5-day safari.
Aisha: very smiling, very friendly and allowed us to immortalize these moments.
Dullah: a top chef with extraordinary and varied culinary talents. He made us taste the local dishes

Brenda helped us plan a trip of a lifetime, and it was perfect!
Our experience was exceptional. We didn't have to worry about a single thing from the moment we booked the trip. The tour operator, Brenda, was kind, patient and really cared about our trip planning, understanding this might be the only time we may be able to get to Tanzania. Our tour guide, in one word, fantastic. He knew a lot about everything. As birders, he was patient and made observations for us as we checked off life list birds, one after the other! He knew every area we went, where to be and where to see all of the animals. We felt safe, amazed, excited and elated with the entire trip!

Best tour operator you can imagine. It felt like family from the start. The big five in four days
Noel is a very very nice man from Tanzania who set up this tour operation bij himself. He is very good in online communication, but even better when you meet him. We felt at home the moment we got in his car at the airport.
Filomon was our five star driver who lives just around de national parcs. He is smiling all day long, knows a lot about nature and animals and can drive like Max Verstappen. And he managend to let us see the big five from very close in just four days.
As a bonus we visited a massai village and even did a short coffee tour at Fillipos coffee plantation just around the place where Filomon is born.
We loved it all!!!

A Great operator and the best guide for a safari
I had a safari experience with my friends and we chose to organize it with Gladiola Adventure, also encouraged by the previous reviews, which were very positive and in line with our feeling for the trip. The organization was perfect and everything was as we would have liked it to be. The thing that took the experience to the "wonderful level" was our guide Regie. he explained the animals and their habits to us in detail, making every day very interesting, furthermore he was ready to listen to us, our questions and also our needs, responding and satisfying them as best as possible. At the end of this experience we saw all the animals, took wonderful photos (here only some photos taken with the cell phone, the ones from the camera are better, I swear) and spent wonderful moments in this country. I highly recommend this experience

Great experience
I've been to Africa several times, and climbed Kilimanjaro a few years ago, so I know what to expect out of a tour company in Tanzania, and Fif tours provides excellent and professional service. I did the 4-day camping Serengeti safari and it was a wonderful experience. I communicated with my driver, Johnson, that I wanted to see cheetahs, and he put in a lot of effort to make sure that happened. Our chef made great breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and had coffee ready to go every morning. I recommend Fif for all your safari needs.
