Excellent management, serious business.
5/5

The first visit did not end well. The guide we picked, name is Ben, scammed us. We contacted the company and have the opportunity to talk with Ernest, the owner, he listened to us and even drove down to Mafinga to show his face and offer an apology and a solution. Ernest is an ex-ranger, with many years on his back hunting and stopping poachers. Ernest is very professional and knowledgeable, he will drive you to many spots where you can enjoy Ruaha at its full. I am sure this company have professional and experienced guides but Ernest is the real deal. The experience did not star well but end up brilliant. I totally recommend this company, they show up when a customer have a problem and they deliver. Thanks Ernest for managing the situation with professionalism.

A very clever person who knew exactly where to bring you for the game seeing.
5/5

We really didn’t expect to find 2 leopards very close to our car on both days of the game drive. Our guide was good at showing us everything that was needed to see as it was needed. He also looked for me the next day in Iringa to bring me the tablet I forgot in his car! Very great experience in the whole.

Fantastic South-Tanzania Trip
5/5

After our arrival at Dar-es-Salaam Airport our host Ernest welcomed us and drove us to Nasheera Hotel in Morogoro. We spent the next day exploring Mikumi National Park seeing a wide variety of animals; buffaloes, elephants, lions, zebras, Thomson gazelles, wildhogs, monkeys, baboons, storks……. Our next destination was Ruaha National Park – This park is so expansive but Ernest knew it like the back of his hand and it was fun seeing different animals in particular along River Ruaha.
We stayed at stunning Mivumo Camp that had excellent service, amazing food and unforgettable magical views. Ernest and his team surely did an amazing job and I fully recommend them for safari.

We really enjoyed our marvelous 6-day private safari tour to Ruaha and Mikumi National Parks in Tanzania. The whole trip is unforgettable as we had a wonderful times seeing the parks with Ernest our host cum guide.

5/5

We made a safari trip to south Tanzania with Wild Gaze Safaris a fabulous tour operator based in Iringa Tanzania. There is not a single thing that was out place, everything was flawless and it is the best vacation my wife and I have done in Africa.
The parks that we visited in southern Tanzania (Ruaha, Selous and Udzungwa) were amazing and still pristine as they away from the large crowds we had seen during our last trip to the northern parks. This time round Wild Gaze Safaris partnered us with an amazing guide – Nolasco. It was a pleasure being with him, he took excellent care of us and drove us deep into excellent spots where wild animals roamed free.
Accommodations at camps in Ruaha, and Selous were beautiful and comfortable. The highlight of our trip was at Ruaha Hill View Lodge, we were lucky to get one of the completed rooms because they were still doing renovations and it was very nice! A quiet, relaxing and comfortable place in the middle of Ruaha National Park. The staffs and meals were excellent.
I highly recommend this operator.

Highly Recommended
5/5

I will highly recommend Wild Gaze Safari to all travelers that want to have a remarkable trip to Tanzania. They organized a wonderful trip to Mikumi, Ruaha and Selous National Parks that we have just returned from. The trip was filled with exciting wildlife tracking in the reliable 4x4 jeep, boat trips along river Rufiji & Ruaha and walking excursions. I am happy that Wild Gaze Safaris is engaged in responsible tourism giving part of the proceeds to support education and women in the local communities. There are numerous highlights during the 6 days of our safari with Nurdin who is an expert safari guide and a humorous person.
Thank you Wild Gaze Safaris for an incredible time in Tanzania.

Worth every penny! Amazing Journey through Tanzania
5/5

Our recent trip to southern Tanzania was perfect arrangement with 3 days in Selous followed by 1 day Mikumi ending with 4 days in Ruaha guided by the most professional guide Ernest. We got to experience uncharted territories in Tanzania secluded from huge crowds. We saw all the big five, numerous birds and different habitats ranging from the lush green dense forests and waterways of Selous to the dry woodlands savanah in Ruaha.
Accommodations were a mix of camping and lodges and very exclusive. I definitely recommend trying Ruaha Hill View Lodge for a truly wild lodging experience accompanied by excellent dining in Ruaha.
