Helpful and very accommodating to ensure all requirements were met.

5/5

Walter at Galloping Safaris was really quick to respond to all our emails and questions and nothing was too much trouble. We had an eight day (7 night) safari which enabled us to visit all the major national parks and included a walking safari and a night game drive. The accommodation was all superb and all meals and packed lunches were included and were of a very good quality. Walter provided a full itinerary and was happy to make any amendments and changes to suit our budget and requirements. We travelled in a land cruiser (with the opening roof) which was brilliant for all terrains. We saw the big 5, the Great Migration and so much more due to Macho, our superb tour guide/driver, who went out of his way to ensure that he understood what we wanted to do and see and we got much closer to the animals than we had expected. Macho was professional yet fun, very caring, friendly and excellent at spotting the animals and birds as well as explaining about the culture. He was very knowledgable and a great tour guide.

Spectacular Safari with the great Galloping Safaris

5/5

Last April we went on a safari to the northern parks in Tanzania, we visited Serengeti , Ngorongoro and Tarangire. Our safari experience was elevated to extraordinary levels by the impeccable planning and execution by Gallopıng Safaris. From the seamless logistics to the top-notch accommodations, every detail was thoughtfully arranged to ensure a memorable adventure.

A special commendation goes to our guide, Anderson. He was incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and enthusiastic, bringing the safari to life with fascinating insights into the wildlife and ecosystems. Anderson had an uncanny ability to spot animals from great distances and ensured we had the best vantage points for viewing wildlife. His passion and respect for the environment and commitment to conservation is truly inspiring.

it was wonderful!!! with an excellent guide

5/5

We did 2 days of Safari in Ngorongoro and Tarangiri Park with Galopping Safari.

Mr DISMASS is an excellent guide, very smiling, respectful, and he tries to answer all our questions.
It far exceeded our expectations.

After the end of our Safari, Mr WALTER booked us a taxi (included in the price) which took us to Kilimanjaro airport.

I highly recommend Galopping Safari because the schedule was consistent with the description with very good organization.

Thank you so much

Amazing 8 Days Safari Trip

5/5

Walter has been a quick responder since day 1 not only through email but also iMessage helping editing the trip and answering questions. It was our first time visiting Tanzania and we went toTarangire, Ngorogoro and Serengeti. We loved the accommodations Galloping picked for us-especially Sanctuary Swala and &Beyond north Serengeti. Not many safari companies I checked offer stays at the Sanctuary but it was amazing.

We read some negative reviews on Galloping Safari and had some incidents during the trip. That being said we managed to work things out with Walter while still enjoyed trip. In addition we run into problems with the local banking system ourselves at Arusha last day, which made us realize that dealing with banks and doing business in Tanzania are not as easy as we thought. We appreciate Walter's efforts to ensure a wonderful trip for us as planned. Walter also came to show us an amazing souvenir shop and explained the cause of incidents to us before our flight when he didn't have to so we did feel the mutual trust, which was really important in picking a travel agency in a country we were visiting for the first time.

We appreciate everything Galloping Safaris did so we could really enjoy our first visit to Tanzania. Hope we can come back soon!

Amazing 8 Day Safari Across 5 Parks

5/5

From beginning to end our trip went off without issues. We were scooped up at the airport upon arrival and taken into Arusha to meet Walter and our guide Lawrence. Then it was off to the parks to see amazing animals, stay in wonderful accommodations, and learn about the beautiful people of Tanzania.
Walter had picked out a mixture of tented camps and lodges that were perfect, if not a bit luxurious for us. Every place we stayed, from the Nyikani camps to Escarpment Luxury Lodge could not have been better. The staff at each was over-the-top helpful and the food delicious, even for my vegetarian better half.
Lawrence is a super nice guide and excellent game spotter. He also used his connections with other guides in each park to get us prime viewing of the "big 5" and lots more. I coached him a bit on getting good photo ops, as opposed to just seeing the animals, and he really came through.
Overall, our first trip to Tanzania was amazing, and couldn't have been better thanks to Walter and Lawrence. We appreciate everything you gentlemen did to make us feel special all week long. Asante sana!
