Self Drive for 10 Days
We rented a Rav4 for self-drive for 10 days in February. Didas was great before, during and after answering my MANY questions. The car itself had a lot of mileage (200,000 km), but worked fine! There was free delivery of the car to our hotel in Arusha, we then left it at our hotel near the airport (for a fee). Our security deposit was refunded right away when the car was returned. During the time that we had the car we drove to Lake Manyara, Arusha park, Lake Diluti, coffee plantations near Moshi etc. We had planned to go to Lake Eyasi, but the roads were too difficult for us. In retrospect, it would have been better had we hired a driver/guide for at least half the time (for Lake Eyasi and Lake Manyara), and then done the other part on our own. We rented the car in early February, after it had been raining a lot, and some of the roads were flooded and difficult for us. Having an experienced driver on hand would have allowed us to enjoy the trip more. However we strongly recommend the company.

Self drive and Safari with driver
We visited Tanzania in february for a month with our family with 2 children of 1 and 4 years old. We rented a Landcruiser with driver for a 11 day safari to Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro Crater, Serengeti and Lake Natron. After that we did a self drive from Arusha to Dar es Salaam in a Rav4. The cars were brought to the airport and our accommodation. They are not the newest but they are reliable and carefully looked after.
The contact with Didas (and the other staff) was excellent. He responded very quickly on all our questions and was always available. Moreover he gave us useful suggestions for accommodation and the planning of our trip and he arranged 2 children seats free of charge.
Special thanks to Dixon who was not only our driver, but also a great guide and great person.
If you want to be flexible and plan your own trip in Tanzania we strongly recommend Gladio adventures!

Excellent Safari!
We had a great experience with Gladiola Adventures!
We took their offer of a car and guide for a family of 5, which allowed us great flexibility in planning and during the Safari - the guide was excellent and dealing with Gladiola was easy and honest.
Highly recommended and we already referred friends and family to them!

Excellent company to rent a car from
We rented a Rav4 for an 18 day road trip from Arusha towards Mkomazi, Lushoto and Saadani. We did not have any problem with the car and Didas was always very fast on answering my whatsapp messages. Well recommended.

Thank you Gladiola Adventures for such an unforgettable experience!
We had the best time during our Safari thanks to Gladiola. A big thank you to our safari guide, who is now a good friend, George Everest. He is so knowledgable and educated us on various topics related to our safari. I would highly recommend their services if you are in Tanzania and up for a safari.

Wonderful experience & precious memory
I would highly recommend Gladiola to anyone who’s planning a safari tour in Tanzania! We went on the safari tour in March 2020, during which the three of us were still taking online classes. This meant that we had to make adjustments to the itinerary so that we could attend the classes on time. Despite all the difficulties, Dixon and Didas gave us a perfect safari experience!
Dixon was extremely responsible - he would watch out for animals all the time and make sure that we can see as many animals as possible. March is rain season so that it was quite difficult to see animals because of the high grasses. But we were still able to see many animals because of him. Kudos to Dixon! Also, Dixon is a true animal lover himself, so you can feel his passion when he talks about the animals... He can tell you all about the animals if you’re willing to listen all day long :)
We also like Didas a lot - He’s a decent man and treated us with much hospitality and friendliness. :)
We traveled to Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater and Lake Manyara. Four months have passed since the tour and I still could not forget about the wonderful views in Tanzania. I’m planning to go back again with my parents sometime in the future! Hope the pandemic situation would end soon and life could go back to normal ASAP.
