Sam is an excellent guide with tons of experience!
Everything on our 6 night trip worked out smoothly, from pickup to drop off. The crew (guide and cook) were well organized and worked together seamlessly. Even hickups (blew a tire on the last day and pulled out two other cars that were stuck in the sand) were handled with ease, speaking to the level of experience and familiarity of the environment.
Best, however, was Sam's knowledge about were to be at what time to see the most amazing wildlife! We got lucky with the only two cheetahs in the park lounging after a morning meal and learned a lot about the animals' behaviors.
Don't miss out on asking Sam about "close encounters" around the camp fire and make sure you have a nice bottle of wine lined up for it!

Trustworthy and experienced team who will go beyond limits to make your trip memorable
I visited Kenya (Masai mara and Nairobi) for 5 nights and 6 days with my family of 5 including my old parent in-laws and 2 year old daughter. This was my second booking with all time safari. He arranged my parent's first visit to Kenya last year.
Alex and his team are specialist of this region and they chalk out your itinerary by keeping in mind everything - age of family members, dietary requirements, whether you want to relax or move around a lot on your trip etc. From the moment of booking the tour to the moment we were dropped at the Kenya airport at the end of tour, all the arrangements were speckless. Paul (our driver and guide) went beyond his job definition to make sure we were safe, and comfortable in the entire trip. He closely understood our requirements and accordingly planned the day well ahead of the time. He was very considerate to my little daughter and made sure she was comfortable during long road journey from Nairobi to Mara. Even though we agreed on the price of the package, Alex extended another 10% discount to me which he got from hotels. I have traveled in more than 14 countries before but have never witnessed this kind of honesty and candidness from tour agents before.
Paul painstakingly took us around the park to make sure we could see all the big 5 animals. Alex accommodated my last minute request to book an extra night in Nairobi at a much lesser price than booking.com along with free breakfast.
the entire safari went exactly as per the itinerary drawn by Alex. thank you allseasonsafari team to make this a lifetime experience. We thank you your team and Kenyan people for the all the hospitality and the kindness. This is definitely a 5-star experience. With Alex and team you are in good hands- trust me!

Great and wonderful experience
Our safari with Gilmag Safaris to Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro, Serengeti, Tarangire and Zanzibar exceeded our high expectations.
Reliable, friendly, knowledgeable, courteous are just some of the few words we can use to describe the management and adminstration of Gilmag safaris.
For us it was really an amazing experience like going into a film of National Geographic. Our guides Gilbert and Luis were extremely nice. They are very professional, skilled, efficient and very competent; They showed us beautiful Tanzania filled with wonderful scenery and charming people. Despite the rough terrains, our safari jeeps were comfortable and looked well maintained.
We warm heartedly recommed Gilmag Safaris to anyone thinking of taking a trip to Tanzania.

Excellent Tour with Kikitu
I booked a 3-day safari with Axis, and the entire experience was fantastic. I was picked up and dropped off from my hotel and was warmly welcomed at the tourist camp. Each day, we were given home-cooked meals and plenty of water during the safari rides. Kikitu was also an incredibly fun, informative guide who ensured that our group saw as much as possible on our tour! He was even able to schedule a morning trip to the local Masai village. Overall, the experience exceeded my expectations, and I would highly recommend both Axis and Kikitu as a tour guide!

Great Trip
I came with a group of college friends to Kenya based on information I was given from my cousin who recommended you. The referral was dead on. The communications was pleasing and constant. My expectations were met based on the high expectations I had been given. The safari was life changing

Surprisingly perfect trip to Kenya
I and my wife were extremely surprised with the quality and care provided by Faith to make this trip outstanding. We were provided with updates on a weekly basis and our questions were answered within 24 hours.
The three day safari we went on was breathtaking.

Fantastic ! Accommodating and punctual! They went out of their way to attend to our requirements
We requested a custom tour with specific stop offs that we wanted to see and they put it together perfectly. They were punctual and reliable as well as flexible when necessary. I would definitely book with them again .

Absolutely amazing!
Gorilla Tours are an excellent tour company to deal with. Right from the beginning our communications with Rachael was easy and prompt. She had no problems modifying our tour to suit our needs better.
Once there, our driver Robert was excellent. He was very knowledgle and personable. He made the long drives feel shorter. He would stop anytime we asked to take pictures and also when he saw things that he thought we would be interested in. Things that were interesting to us and that we would have missed without him.
Now for the tours. WOW. The chimps and gorillas are so magnificent. It is amazing how close they will come to you. The sounds of the chimps even before sighting them is super exciting!! The gorillas are so enjoyable to watch as they just do their own thing or sometimes even approach to get a closer look at you.
The swamp/community walk in Kibale is also a must do. The banana beer and home grown coffee are definitely a must. We did not get time to visit the doctor and the basket weaving homes.
Anyway, if you are nervous about booking such an expensive trip, please be advised that you will have absolutely no issues with Gorilla Tours.
If you can afford it time and money wise, book the extra gorilla day. You will want to see 2 different families as they are all different in behaviour and appearances!
Thanks again to all the staff at Gorilla Tours!
