We had a wonderful safari organised by gilmag. Mary is a reliable person, understanding our needs. With our young children we had a marvellous time observing wild animals. An experience we will never forget! Thank you Gilmag!

Excellent Safari Tour Operator
Gilmag Safaris – Amazing Trip in Tanzania
What an amazing experience this trip was! I have been wanting to do this for a while and a work trip to Tanzania gave me that kick to finally do it. Me being a planner, I researched a lot of tour companies and Gilmag Safaris received overwhelming positive feedback. Everything was very thoughtfully planned, from pick-up time and what to expect through on arrival, to sleeping accommodations, dining, etc.
Nickson, our tour guide while in Tanzania, was fantastic. He was so knowledgeable and was very patient with us and the hundreds of questions that were asked. During the tours he gave us plenty of time to explore the local markets, Tanzanite Experience, which was greatly appreciated. From a scale of 1 to 10, the trip itself was a 10, but Nickson made it a 15!
Over the course of our 8 days trip, with his wit, wisdom, encyclopedic knowledge, care, compassion, and sense of humor, Nickson became family. If you are fortunate enough to get Nickson as your guide, you are in for a special treat.
In Serengeti, I would highly recommend staying at Tanzania Pure Tented Camp and not a hotel. It is set in a beautiful location and the tents are very comfortable and showers are more than adequate.
I would definitely recommend Gilmag Safaris, and thank you, Nickson, for sharing your amazing country with us!

Wonderful Experience!!!
As my husband and I are looking though the pictures we took on our Gilmag Safari we are still in awe from our wonderful safari experience. Only in our dreams did we think that we could see the wildlife in the national parks that we traveled to in Tanzania (Lake Manyara, Tarangire, Ngorongoro Crater, and the Serengeti). Our eyes will never see the same way again!!! Lions, cheetahs, leopards, elephants, giraffes, hippos, crocks, buffalos, a multitude of birds, and the Serengeti Migration!!! So many beautiful scenes, landscapes and sunsets!!!
A big THANK YOU to Mary, Gilbert, and of course Nickson our safari guide. The planning of this safari was easy and Mary worked with us to customize our trip to fit our budget. The Land Cruiser safari vehicle was comfortable without any mechanical problems... everything was flawless and not even an hiccup in the itinerary. The lodges and camps were amazing and more than what we expected. The food was plentiful and delicious.
I would highly recommend Gilmag Safaris if you are planning a safari trip to Africa. It will be a journey of a life time and one that we will never forget!!!

Professional and fun
MEMORABLE TANZANIA AND ZANZIBAR HOLIDAY.
We booked our safari to Tanzania and Zanzibar with Mary from Gilmag Safaris couple of months before we came to Tanzania. Mary was really helpful. She helped us to plan day by day program and was very flexible to edit and make changes according to our needs and budget.
Tanzania as a country is amazing, we felt really safe, the scenery is beautiful and seeing giraffes trek by during sunset at Kubu Kubu Lodge is a memory of a lifetime.
Our guide, Gilbert was the best. He made sure we saw everything exciting. Our highlight was the mother leopard with her cub, what a sight! Zanzibar was equally amazing – 5* accommodation with excellent food. Kudos to Gold Zanzibar. We ended up having a truly positive and memorable trip.
Thank you Gilmag Safaris for your excellent service delivery.

AMAZING TANZANIA SAFARI
We spent 7 days in Tanzania on our first international trip as boyfriend and girlfriend. It was amazing! At first, it seemed too expensive, but afterwards, we realized how much value we got out of it and how much we were able to see and learn with our guide who knew exactly where to take us and pretty much was a Tanzania encyclopedia for that matter.
By the time we landed at the airport, our tour guide, Nickson was already waiting in the arrivals area with the sign. We had a free day before our tour started and Gilmag Safaris provided a full day, private tour of Arusha City. Every pickup was on time and effortless. Everyone spoke clear English and was easy to understand.
What an experience!!! Great culture. Great experience. But what made it so enjoyable and such a great experience is Mary. She owns the company and serves you like no other can. Nice, outgoing, modern safari vehicle and great service. You are safe and secure with this company.
Overall, we had a great experience; the wonderful sights and sounds of Ngorongoro and Serengeti Parks. Best customer service I've experienced in a very long time. 100% recommended!

Excellent service
My friends and I had the most amazing trip in Tanzania. We were 7 of us, traveling to Tanzania for the first time. We had 11 days bush to beach adventure, and it was the best experience ever.
Everything was planned to perfection. We will be coming back soon

Amazing safari in Tanzania
Our eyes, our minds, our hearts have been changed forever after a safari in Tanzania. We had an experience of a lifetime and I have Mary and Gilbert to thank. They worked with us every step of the way in planning an itinerary, reserving hotels, and even the cultural tours that we were very interested in. The guide Hamza was awesome!!! Very knowledgeable about the Ngorongoro Crater and the Serengeti and very patient. He found the Big 5 for us and we were up close and personal with these beautiful creatures. I can wait to return to Tanzania and my next safari!!!
I would highly recommend this safari company if you are planning a trip to Tanzania.

Amazing Safari with Gilmag
Myself and my husband booked with Gilmag for our honeymoon. We were picked up from Kilimanjaro and then travelled from there to Tarangire, Ngorongoro, Serengeti and Lake Manayara. It was such an amazing experience! The Gilmag team - Mary and Nickson, were so exceptional. Mary's communication was clear and detailed from the beginning giving confidence that everything was well planned. Nickson, our, tour guide was so knowledgable and dedicated to making our safari experience exceptional, which it was. Thank you to the Gilmag team for giving us unforgettable memories, I would highly recommend for anyone looking for a professional service with a friendly and dedicated company.

Amazing Safari experience in Tanzania
The period prior to the booking of our trip was a real struggle as we couldn't decide the right tour operator to travel with, since there are so many offers but without guarantee. I inquired about the safari and received a very detailed and encouraging reply from Mary. She was very detailed and precise. Gilmag Safaris was very accommodating and worked to ensure I had the itinerary I asked for. Mary was very helpful and accommodating with our changing schedules.
We arrived in Tanzania the day international travel resumed after multiple reschedules. I did a 7 day private safari in Tarangire, Manyara, Ngorongoro and Serengeti. Nickson was my guide. He was knowledgeable, entertaining, and lots of fun! Nickson has an eagle eye to see unique animals and the big cats! He loves what he does!
I highly recommend Nickson, and Gilmag Safaris team. We had the time of our lives.
