Good Value For Money Safari
5/5

Gilmag Safaris are good in communication and kept me updated. The safari met my expectation. The most outstanding was our tour driver; Nickson. He was very friendly, dedicated and knew the parks very well. Altogether, we had a fantastic tour and enjoyed it to the core. Gilmag Safaris really lived up to the expectations we had.
The first impression is always the best, and we loved our first safari in Tanzania. I would like to express my sincere gratitude and appreciation to Gilmag Safaris for their cooperation. Thanks to you Mary and your colleagues, the well-organized program during my stay in Tanzania. Both office and safari staff was very friendly, professional and flexible to our needs.
Good Value for money; strongly recommended.

SEAMLESS SAFARI
5/5

The communication was seamless with Mary, who was our planner of the trip. She responded to my emails in a really quick manner, even on weekends, I really appreciated that. It felt easy to communicate with Mary before and after the trip. She managed to organize a great first safari for us that fit our budget. Gilbert was our guide and he was amazing and super professional. We were picked up from our hotel in Moshi to discover Tarangire, Manyara, Ngorongoro and Serengeti. Gilbert managed to find the best spots for us to watch the animals. We did see all the Big 5, thanks to him.
The lodges and tented camp were inside the national park – very well located with plenty of animals to watch from the accommodation. We highly recommend Gilmag Safaris to anyone planning a trip to Tanzania

Dream Safari
5/5

We chose Gilmag Safaris for their glowing reviews, reputation and fantastic customer support. My first interaction with Vivian from Gilmag Safaris couldn't have been more welcoming and nicer. I can't say enough nice things about her. She was always incredibly informative, trustworthy, always there for us.
We had a free accommodation upgrade in Serengeti, something that we really appreciated.
Our guide was Nickson and he delivered a truly remarkable experience, one we will never forget! Everything was perfect and we looking forward to seeing you again and sending our friends your way. Gilmag Safaris is an excellent tour operator. All was handled smoothly and the service was exquisite and special. Gilmag mad our dream safari a reality. Highly recommended.

Hospitable, professional, knowledgeable
5/5

I had the pleasure of meeting the directors of Gilmag on my solo trip.... The kindest souls ever. They are so knowledgeable and between going site seeing between Arusha and Moshi including a visit to the beautiful Chemka springs, my trip could not have been anything short of remarkable. I 100% recommend Gilmag and I will be coming again.

Wonderful Tanzania Safari at a good price
5/5

I knew Gilmag Safaris through my friends who came on their trip in 2019. So I knew what to expect. But I must say; my expectations were exceeded. I absolutely loved this safari Company. Mary was really quick at responding to our correspondence and very helpful during the process of booking. Very straightforward and highly dependable. I liked the transparency from the first day and the professionalism in this company was awesome.

Our meet and greet at the airport was so friendly and helpful and put us immediately at our ease. Jimmy, our tour guide was very proactive, he briefly told us about all the animals we saw and even about some plants. He was always on the lookout for animals and made that extra effort to ensure we could see maximum animals. He was a very safe and reliable driver guide. These guys provide very good value for money ratio.

Thank you for giving us exceptional and profound memories, we will no doubt be back to see you again.

Perfect Tanzania Safari and Zanzibar Beach Vacation
5/5

The communication between myself and Mary was on time, reliable and accurate. She was very accommodating to my requests. And everything that was mentioned in the itinerary was as it was and all on time! The lodges and tented camps booked were very comfortable and cozy. But of course, the safaris were the best part with Nickson as our guide. We took so many amazing pictures of the wildlife. The tour guide, Nickson, was the best - very knowledgeable and experienced - we'll never forget. The safari was perfect with real effort to find us all the animals we wanted to see, Nickson full of knowledge and willing to show us the best of Tarangire, Manayara, Ngorongoro and Serengeti. The food everywhere was amazing and we got a beautiful singing performance from the staff at Serengeti Serena Lodge.
A Gilmag Safaris tour is worthwhile if you want to experience the magic of Africa with reliable airport transfers both in Tanzania mainland and Zanzibar.
We'd recommend Gilmag Safaris to anybody and wouldn't hesitate to use them again.

Wonderful Safari
5/5

We just got back from exploring Tanzania and had a spectacular time! Gilmag Safaris is by far first class all the way. Everything was perfect from the time Gilbert picked us up at the Kilimanjaro airport until he dropped us off at the Seronera Airstrip to catch our flight to Zanzibar. Wonderful accommodations and food selection everywhere we stayed.
We had an amazing African experience where we saw all kinds of animals and witnessed lions strategizing, killing, stalking, etc....saw the big 5! The service we received was outstanding start to finish. Nothing but praise for this safari company.

Reliable and Efficient Operators
5/5

All my experience with Gilmag Safaris has been even over my expectations, both during planning and during the journey itself. Cannot recommend Gilmag Safaris highly enough! I interviewed several travel providers before going with Gilmag and the difference in service was night and day. Our contact, Mary listened carefully to our needs without trying to upsell us. We had a very ambitious itinerary planned, and Mary went out of her way to ensure the logistics—from dietary restrictions to several transfers went smoothly.
Mary helped me in figuring out the itinerary and accommodations that would have better fitted with my interests and desires with a particular care also about my cost target.
During the journey our contact person was easily reachable by phone and email to give me support. Our guide, Nickson was knowledgeable, extremely friendly and an absolute pleasure to be with. I totally recommend Gilmag Safaris to anyone planning a well-managed trip to Tanzania

Gilmag Safaris delivered The Big 5 on the first day of safari
5/5

From the very first interaction with Mary via email and then WhatsApp, she responded to questions almost immediately. She assured me regarding my concerns. The package she created was perfect. The lodges were excellent and the arrangement of where we started and finished was great.
We spent seven days with our guide Nickson in Tanzania on safari and he made our trip memorable. He found us all of the Big Five within the first day!
The all-inclusive price was incredibly fair. My family greatly liked and enjoyed the excellent services offered by Gilmag Safaris. I would recommend Gilmag Safaris anytime. Their rates and willingness to make sure we got what we wanted was spot on!

PERFECT AND SEAMLESS TANZANIA SAFARI
5/5

We found Gilmag Safaris online while looking for that 'perfect' safari itinerary to Tanzania, and we were not disappointed. We have had the pleasure of embarking on a remarkable journey organized by Mary! From start to finish, every aspect of my experience was meticulously planned, ensuring an unforgettable adventure that exceeded all my expectations. From the moment I contacted Mary, her commitment to customer satisfaction was evident. The booking process was seamless and efficient, with her guiding me through various itinerary options and providing valuable insights into each destination. Her attention to detail and willingness to customize the tour to suit my preferences truly set Gilmag Safaris apart. Accommodations provided by the tour operator were nothing short of exceptional. We stayed in wonderful accommodations that all had that bit of a wow factor and in amazing settings.
We really enjoyed our 8 day tour with guide Gilbert, which extended to Northern Serengeti, where we witnessed millions of wildebeest crossing the Mara River from Serengeti National Park to Mara Game Reserve. This was a real highlight of our trip. If you're seeking an unforgettable journey filled with remarkable experiences, cultural immersion, and seamless organization, I highly recommend choosing Gilmag Safaris.
