Thompson family safari with Gideon to Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro and Serengeti - Dec 2015-Jan 2016
We travelled with Gideon for six days throughout Manyara, Ngorongoro and Serengeti as a family of five - us two parents and three grown-up children. By unanimous vote it has been our best family vacation ever!!! I lived in Tanzania for nine years in total and had visited the northern parks many times but hadn't been back for more than 25 years. Gideon made the journey special even for an old hand like me and even more so for the rest of the family. We knew what we wanted - we didn't want to go to Tarangire in December when the grass would be tall and the animals difficult to see. We did want to experience the migration and also spend a night at Serena Hotel on the edge of the crater. Gideon gave us all we could have asked for and even more. We went into parts the Serengeti I had never been to before. He adjusted our travel plans day by day to ensure that we would experience the best game viewing possible. When we were staying on the border area between Ngorongoro and Serengeti he bought passes for both parks simultaneously so that we could move freely from one park to the other. He has an incredible gift for spotting and identifying animals at great distances. Just about every day, after seeing lions, leopards, cheetahs, elephants and tens of thousands of plains animals we came across cars from the more established companies with disconsolate guides asking if we had seen anything interesting that day. Gideon would always graciously swap updates on locations and sightings. Two things that made our holiday though were (1) Gideon's passion for what he does and (2) his desire to make our safari the best it could possibly be. Gideon loves his work. He has such a strong attachment to this part of the world which is close to where he grew up. It means so much to him and he simply loves to share it with his guests. It made the whole safari experience a deeply personal one for all of us, one that none of us will ever forget!

Excellent Trip!
Gideon provided us with an amazing experience. He is very knowledgable of his country, very kind, and makes you feel at home. The experience seeing these animals up close is something you won't forget! Gideon takes pride in the beauty of his country and tries his best to ensure you take it all in and experience it for yourself. Highly recommended!
All of us loved it the whole time!
This was the best trip my family has ever gone on!!! The places we stayed were incredibly beautiful, especially at Ngorogoro Crater and Karatu, and also in Arusha, where we woke up every morning to monkeys running around outside our balconies! Riding around in the Landrover was fun, and we got to see SO MANY animals, including three leopards and a baby cheetah!! All because Gideon is a fantastic guide and knew where to find them all. And our entire family was happy the whole time, which almost never happens.

Friendly, helpful, extremely knowledgable. A great overall experience
We had an amazing 5 day safari with Gideon. We spent 4 days in the Serengeti and 1 day in Ngorongoro. Gideon was extremely knowledgeable about the wildlife and was dedicated to making our safari experience as interesting and fun as possible. There was even wifi in the car and free beer! The tents were also comfy and the food was great. I would definitely recommend them.

Sharp guide, excellent safari experience!
We did a 5-day safari with Gideon: 4 days in Serengeti and 1 day at Ngorongoro. It was organised at a good pace, and we did not feel rushed for time throughout our safari. Gideon is really good at finding animals and often spots them before others - also handy as they tend to run away when too many cars crowd around! He knows the place well and brought us to find the wildebeest migration in the western corridor on one of our days. Definitely worth paying for a really good guide like Gideon!
His car is well-equipped and comfortable for long days out and game drives - has wifi, you can charge your batteries in his car (English plug-point), and has a fridge too! He provided a crate of beer for our trip which was very welcome at the end of our long days! He provided us with a few books on the kinds of animals/birds you find during the game drives - for anyone interested in knowing more about the environment around!
He's very happy to be flexible about plans - so just speak to him if you have any particular plans/ concerns. Would definitely recommend!

Unforgettable
We did two days at Serengueti and one day at ngorogoro. We were able to see all of the big five. The bush camp was incredible as we were able to hear the lions and hyenas at night. Gideon was an excellent tour guide. He is trustworthy and reliable as well as a lot of fun.

Amazing Kilimanjaro trekking
Not only does GideonTanzania Safari organise excellent safari experiences, they will also facilitate trekking on Kilimanjaro, through their connections with Kili Heroes. We cannot fault their service and support: their communications were always quick and the information provided comprehensive, they provided attention to detail. We had an amazing time and an experience we will treasure, but we could not have done it without the team of people who were right behind us. And when one of us had to go down early, they were there with their support all the way. Thank you for a fantastic time!
