Outstanding - flexible, knowledgable and responsive
This was the trip of a lifetime, and Brilliant Safaris - in particular Lightness and Boni - really made it special for us. Me and my mom (who is in her 70s) started planning our trip at the beginning of 2024 and looked at over 20 tour companies in all. We chose Brilliant because it was led by Tanzanians, and Lightness was patient, responsive and flexible. She helped us plan a trip that included a variety of activities: from safaris to cultural experiences to spas- in rural, beach and urban settings. She also helped us select a range of places to stay - from glamping to luxury. Boni - our guide and fearless driver - met us at the airport upon our arrival and was instrumental in ensuring we had a spectacular trip. He was very knowledgeable about history and wildlife, and seemed to have a knack for finding the elusive animals (leopards reposing on a tree branch with the gazelle they just killed, rhinos hiding in the grassy savannah). We saw all of the big five - and much much more - on the trip. He was also flexible throughout the trip - if we needed a break, we would adjust our schedule, or break up a long drive with other activities. He, along with Lightness, also made sure our accommodations met our expectations, especially since we had asked for two beds throughout the trip - they not only made sure that happened, but also finagled us separate rooms (at no extra cost) when the hotels did not have rooms with two beds. I highly recommend them and would definitely travel to Tanzania again!
Awesome, fun and very knowledgeable
Since the beginning I felt I could trust this company... Lightness is such a sweet soul. She was so so patient and helped to answer every question and or doubts we had. Boniface our tour guide is truly the best... He is so fun extremely knowledgeable and made this trip 10 times better than it was....
I would always recommend him and the whole crew that made our staying in Tanzania one of the best trips I ever experienced.
We highly recommend B.A.&S. Our agent, Lightness did an exceptional job of accommodating all of us.
B.A.& S. provided a service beyond our expectations from the moment we began our communication until our safe arrival home. Our agent, Lightness worked tirelessly to accommodate 10 (65-90yrs old) individuals needs and clarifications. B. A. & S. orchestrated everything perfectly. From frequent communication before arrival , our pick up at arrival, greeting us personally, checking in during our safaris, and open communication anytime throughout. Lightness is a gem. Our drivers, Bon and George were like family from beginning to end and we all consider them our Tanzanian family forever, along with Lightness. They truly wanted to provide the best experience possible. We saw more wildlife then our wildest dreams could have imagined. All accommodations surpassed our expectations, all were ready to accommodate dietary needs and went above and beyond to celebrate our special occasion. B.A.& S. did an incredible job planning, implementing and following up. We are forever grateful to B.A.& S. , Lightness, Bon and George for their personal care and efforts to ensure we had the trip of a life time.
An exceptional company that gave our family with an unbelievable, once in a life-time experience!
I cannot recommend this travel company more! Lightness did an exceptional job working with us, a group of 10 family members, to map out a trip that accommodated everyone’s wishes at an incredibly great price. Everything was perfectly orchestrated and methodically planned. Lightness made every effort to communicate frequently and effectively before, during, and after the trip. The driver/guides, Bon and George, worked tirelessly to ensure we had the best possible safari experience. They treated us like family, kept us safe, shared a wonderful sense of musicality and humour, and clearly were experienced and knowledgeable. The accommodations that were arranged and the food at each location far surpassed my expectations! This safari trip could not have been any better due to the incredible planning, care and expertise of all the people in this company. Bon and George will be forever remembered for all that they gave us on our experience of a life-time!
Dream come true
My Dad once said when he was younger he dreamed of going on safari. At age 78 he probably thought it was beyond him. The two of us ended up taking a trip of a lifetime, one we'll never forget and one I'll cherish always. Brilliant Adventures were amazing. Communication from the beginning, checking in throughout and everything in between was perfect. Our guide Boni was excellent, how he manages that drive over the many many years of experience is beyond me. The trip totally exceeded expectations. No amount of research, documentaries, or reading comes even close to the experience itself. Simply breath taking, or should I say Brilliant.
