Years of experience and a deep love for wildlife = unforgettable safari experiences !!
We have traveled to many countries in Africa as a family but John was the best guide we ever had. He has masterfully understood how to respond to all wishes and with his experience and organizational talent, it has become an individual journey beyond the mainstream. His expertise, his calmness in tense situations and his humor delighted us. He always knew the best scenic spots and often correctly predicted the behavior of the animals so that we took home incomparable experiences and photos from Tanzania. In many great conversations we also learned a lot about the country and its people. Despite his professionalism, John has remained a great guy you can always rely on. If necessary: John also speaks very good German. We will gladly come back to Tanzania and I am sure that John and his team will organize and implement another unforgettable trip for us.

Had a great time!!
Traveled with John Malley in several reserves around Tanzania. John was great - set up for us the whole trip, exactly as we wanted it. Was very knowledgeable and professional and, of course, very good company.
He also took care of everything if there were problems with the car, etc.
And - a great spotter! Always found the most interesting things to see.
Many thanks John!

We visited in 3 Safari resorts.
Although we didn’t have the chance to see “Killing” we saw the wildness at it’s best.
Most lodges were good same as value for money

John Malley, The kindest, most knowledgeable guide
We contacted John Malley on a recommendation of a friend. John created a Safari tour for 4 of us, accommodating everyone’s interests and preferences leading us on the best experience one could imagine. He afforded us a glorious day hike on Mount Kilimanjaro, a day of meeting two indigenous tribes on their natural environment, besides days of animal spotting far snd near including the famous Wildebeest fall migration that was unimaginable. All our lodges and tent camps were exceptional, providing the comfort and welcome rest after long adventurous days. If Safari is on your mind, John and Wilderness Safari is your best bet.

John Malley - an exceptional guide!
We (2 couples) spent 10 days with John on safari in the three main parks of Tanzania and had an exceptional experience! From the planning to execution all was accurate and fit our needs and wishes. John is highly knowledgeable and very sensitive to the needs and requests of the guests, service oriented, yet communicative and with a sense of humor. The tour met our abilities and wishes in the most optimal way. Thank you John!!

Once in a lifetime Experience!
This trip was the best vacation we ever had. We travelled together with a family and booked a trip to see Tansania and it's gorgeous wildlife.
We started close to Arusha with a wonderful waterfall walk before we started our trip with Jon. First we visited Tarangire with his stunning herds of Elephants and many other animals. we further continued to a town called Mto wa Mbu to learn about Banana farms, local heritage and how people live their lives on a daily basis. Our guide Jon Malley always gave us great explanations about the local customs and how people manage their lives on a daily basis, which I personally found very interesting. Generally spoken I have to say - chose your guide wisely, as you will spend a lot of time in the car with him. I can only recommend you to go on tour with Jon. He is a gentle, polite, smart and eloquent young man, who always gave us the feeling to be treated as guests and friends. Don't miss to go to the Ngorongoro Crater - this is the most stunning piece of land we have seen so far with a variety of wildlife I have never experienced before. We were lucky - Jon managed to make us seeing 2 kills, which is brutal and stunning at the sam time - seeing Lions in Wildlife hunting a warthog down. Let me express my sincere gratitude to the organisation of that trip - it was the greatest trip we have ever been on. Looking forward to seeing my Tansanian friend Jon again - we will definitely come back some time.
