Efficient, attentive and honest.
Renatus at Greg Adventures organised a 3 day safari for us in Nyerere National Park. From the provision of the quote to being dropped off at our hotel in Zanzibar after the safari it was superb. Greg's quote was lower than two other companies we approached. During planning Renatus was responsive and helpful, always replying quickly to emails. For the first two days our guide was Bugusa. He had a truly deep knowledge of the wildlife and could read the mood of various animals. This meant, for example, that we could get very close to some elephants (and got our car bumped by a baby elephant). The bird life in the Park is wonderful and Bugusa knew all the species. Renatus had given us an honest assessment of what we might and might not see and it proved accurate. Lots of elephant, a good range of grazing animals and monkeys, no lion or leopard but very close to hunting dogs and crocodiles. On the river trip our guide was Omar. He also knew all the wildlife and we appreciated talking to both Bugusa and Omar about aspects of life and farming for the local people. They were both also good company. It was especially helpful that we could leave a large suitcase in Zanzibar while we were on safari. If we were doing the trip again we would have paid the supplement for better accommodation. The camp we were in was very friendly but the huts were very basic and the lights were too weak to allow us to read after dark.

Simply a perfect safari with Greg Adventures!
We went on a 5 days safari with this great company. It was really a wonderful experience from our landing in Kilimanjaro Airport to the departure for Zanzibar. Pick up at the airport, first night organized by the company and 5 days simply perfect! Pick up new and perfectly working, staff always tidy and professional with their uniform. David, our guide, knows like everything about wildlife and habits and he was always at our disposal, ready to wait hours observing lions or looking for cheetahs as well as ready to run for making us look the black rhino! And what about the dinners and lunches prepared by Ray? Delicious!!! These guys really made go our trip the extra mile!

perfectly organised safari
All organided by Gregadventures, it started with a pickup at the airport. The next morning we took a small plane to the Serengeti where our driver/guide Freddy was waiting for us. After the Serengeti we went to the Ngorongoro crater and then got brought back to the airport for a trip to Zanzibar where we stayed a few days before going back home. Thank you Greg,Loreta and Freddy for this perfectly organised safari.

I highly recommend Greg Adventures for a lifetime experience.
I was a female solo traveler camping for 9 days in National Parks that spent the first 2 safari days alone with the guide/driver and the chef and can say that I felt extremely secure. Deo (guide/driver) and Pol (chef) were amazing, they were respectful, polite, professional and fun, I couldn´t have asked for a better company and experience. Deo knew how to find all the animals, we saw the big 5 more than once! He realized all of our “wishes”. Pol made magic with his food, I felt quite spoiled there!
On the road I could see many other safari companies, for that I can say that I made the right choice by travelling with Greg Adventures. While the other companies´ cars were going to the same place, Deo took us to see much more. His safari knowledge was crucial for this lifetime experience!
Camping in the middle of the national park with no fences was incredible, you could really feel the experience. Staring at that magical sky with no lights around and sleeping listening to the animals´ sound was for sure a lifetime experience.
Thank you Greg Adventures for giving me more than I could ever imagined! What a trip! An unforgettable experience!

6 Day 5 nights Private Safari to Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngoro and Lake Eyasi
Selected a private budget tour with Greg Adventures for me and my wife. We are seasoned safaris travelers and do at least 2 safari's a year in Southern Africa. Had a wonderful experience in the parks and saw amazing sightings, the Serengeti is an amazing place with the vast open plains which allows for great sightings especially for the cats. Anwar our guide was knowledgeable and made the experience a great one with some perfect alone sightings. Raymond was a great cook and companion and his cooking skills in the bush with limited resources is amazing. Put on a few kilos and there is so much variety of food at every meal.
The vehicle was a little on the old side with limited air conditioning. The tents and stretcher were comfortable and despite the heavy downpours at time, kept us warm and dry.
There is a tremendous amount of driving as the distances between the parks are far and the roads as one would expect in the wild are very bumpy and dusty. The ablutions in the parks were of a good standard and Tanzania Parks must be completed. I could imagine it gets very busy in the high season. The picnic sight toilets where the best on the trip. Our visit to Lake Eyasi was a little disappointing as the camp sight was not great. The experience with the bushmen was interesting. In retrospect could have missed this and spent another day in the Serengeti or visited Lake Manyara.

Great safari
My boyfriend and I did a 6 day 5 night safari with Greg adventures January 2020. We had an amazing time getting to see all the big 5 as well as other hard to see animals such as the caracal. Our guide, Anwar, was fantastic and very knowledgeable making it even more enjoyable. Raymond, our cook, also made us huge delicious meals to keep everyone going. Greg adventures also made it easy to slightly change our itinerary so that we had one night in a tented lodge which was very beautiful as well as going to Lake enyasi and going on an early morning bush hunt with the Hatsebe tribe which was one of our personal favorites. All in all would definitely recommend to anyone who wants to go on a affordable safari.

A unforgettable experience
Superb experience with Greg Adventures. They were able to adapt quickly, right up to the last minute, to all our changes, to offer us an unforgettable week of tailor-made safaris.
Despite the tight schedule on site, we were able to visit numerous parks, all filled with an abundance of wildlife. The highlight was the wildebeest migration across the Mara River - thank you for offering us this option! All our accommodations were very comfortable, whether in lodges or tents.
A special mention to our guide, Machete, who made the experience even more incredible with his good mood and sense of humor

Efficient & well organised!
I recently went on a 3-day, 2-night safari with my wife, and it was an unforgettable experience, thanks to Greg Adventures. From start to finish, everything was seamlessly organized for us, allowing us to relax and fully enjoy the adventure. Our driver and guide, Machete, was truly exceptional. His deep knowledge of the wildlife and the environment, combined with his friendly demeanor, made the trip so much more engaging and insightful.
We were fortunate to see an incredible array of animals—everything you could ever hope for on a safari! While we didn’t spot any leopards, we know that’s part of the unpredictability of nature, and it didn’t take away from the overall experience at all. Overall, we had an amazing time and would highly recommend Greg Adventures!!!

Exceptional
Our safari experience with Greg Adventures was truly unforgettable. Renatus was our contact and he answered all questions and concerns swiftly and ensured that we had an enjoyable and safe safari. Charles was our guide in Kenya through Amboseli. He ensured that we saw as many animals as possible and also educated us on the Masai culture. On the Tanzanian side Fred was our guide and he went above and beyond to ensure that we had a safari experience we would never forget. Our experience was so wonderful that we decided to add an additional day so that we could see the great migration and Renatus was quick to find us last minute accommodations. And of course Fred was willing to spend an additional day with us. Overall, this was an experience me and my family will never forget and would not have been possible without Renatus, Fred, and Charles.

Greg Adventures - An Amazing Safari!
Greg Adventures prepared and delivered an amazing safari experience for my wife and I, perfect as part of the celebrations for our wedding anniversary, and a trip we'd always longed to make. From start to finish, the organisation, communication, payment, planning, fitting in around our schedule, suggesting ideas, airport pick up, etc and so on...everything was brilliantly handled, and with great responsiveness to my millions of questions (thank you!).
Some hints and tips:
1) Take binoculars, one set per person. Most animals you can see without bins, however, the big cats are often more elusive.
2) Be ready for some long days in a Toyota Landcruiser, and be sure to have used the facilities before you set off.
3) Be ready for seeing wildlife that will exceed all expectations, never stop looking.
4) Consider a day by the pool or on the beach at the end of the trip...you'll be tired and dusty...
5) Take a minimum 4 days on safari but if you're really short on time then probably stick to Tanzania, e.g. Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater and Tarangire.
6) And most of all, book your trip with Greg Adventures!!!
Every day was just more and more amazing, after thinking we'd seen it all on days 1 and 2, we were just constantly blown away by the sheer number of animals we could see, literally thousands upon thousands upon thousands, of all sorts.
Our highlights were the elephants and giraffes, but seeing the wildebeest on migration, a lion cub, eight black rhino, plus leopard, lion and cheetah, and all the rest on top was incredible.
The guides were also amazing, Fred in Tanzania and Joe in Kenya especially great. Fabulous, kind, friendly, happy, knowledgeable, informative and engaging guys, both with terrific senses of humour - we really enjoyed being with them and they were such great fun to be with. They turned an already great trip into a truly fabulous trip! That would be hint and tip 7...ask for Fred and Joe!
Accommodations were very good, especially in Tanzania. The experience of a luxury tent actually on the Serengeti with the hyenas whistling in the night, the footsteps of lions and the grumbling of buffalo...definitely nights never to be forgotten.
If you're thinking about a safari...then go for it...and seriously take a look at Greg Adventures, they genuinely did not disappoint!
