Unforgettable Safari remain in our life time Nurdin made it ......
5/5

In May 2019 we spent 2 nights 3 days on a safari booked with Wild Gaze Safaris and Nurdin Adam was our guide. It was our first trip to Tanzania and to Africa for that matter and it was the best intro and experience we could have asked for.

We chose to work with Wild Gaze Safaris because of Norbert, who from our first email interactions, answered our questions and put us at ease in the planning of the safari. He helped tailor the experience to our needs (we have 2 kids ), wishes and budget - while giving us the guidance and expertise he has. He helped to demystify the safari planning process and showed us that it’s didn’t need to cost $500 per day per person which was what we were getting from outfitters. From the logistical side, Norbert was exceptionally great to work with and his choices and recommendations for Bandas, accommodations and sites proved to be excellent. Our favorite accommodations were:
Ruaha National Park

As for the actual safari experience day to day, that was what it was because of Nurdin. He is kind, professional, and extremely knowledgeable.
we were a team and our children LOVED him. I always felt he had our best interests at heart and we trusted him and his recommendations and suggestions without question. I was very nervous to come to Africa because of many unknowns (that now in retrospect seem very silly) and that anxiousness went away as soon as we got in the car with Nurdin on Day 1 and never returned. Some of our favorite times were meal times in the Bandas the government property in which we sat together and talked about the day and shared stories.

We will return to Tanzania again because of Nurdin and hopefully get the chance to work with him.

Fantastic 2-Day Ruaha experience
5/5

We contacted Wild Gaze which was recommended by our hotel in Iringa. We had 2 couples and a family with a young boy and wanted clean but inexpensive accommodations, meals, and a good vehicle with driver/guide to take us to Ruaha. Norbert did not disappoint! His detailed quote and interactions to address our questions and concerns gave us the confidence to try his company. He communicated often, both during and after our safari, to ensure we were satisfied and that things proceeded as planned. Our driver/guide, Michael, was friendly and well-informed. He had a good sense of the park (which was very large) and communicated with other safari guides to ensure we were able to see the animals in particular the elusive leopard! One note is that the drivers in Ruaha seem to have no hesitation driving right up to elephants and lions, coming into such close proximity that we felt the animals had to interrupt their normal activity to avoid us. Other than this, the entire safari was well-planned and executed. We had a fantastic experience and would highly recommend considering Wild Gaze Safaris for any tour in Tanzania.

A great safari experience!
5/5

We had a great safari experience with Nurdin as our guide. Everything was well organised and ran smoothly. We paid in advance for the government bandas (basic but clean, all with ensuite and excellent location by the river) and park entrance. Nurdin was very knowledgeable about the park wildlife and we are able to see a great range of different animals even though it was the wet season so more vegetation! Would recommend this tour company to anyone planning a safari trip.

Great trip to Nationalpark

Our trip to Ruaha Nationalpark was actually amazing. Nurdin found a lot of great animals and has much knowledge about the nature and animals. The best was: he is super nice, too.
I would recommend it to anyone as the trip was organised very well!

Incredible safari to Tanzania , Nurdin our safari guide made it
5/5

Incredible memorable experience
Our trip has been nothing but faultless. The itinerary was planned to perfection and suited the time and budget we had. We requested Nurdin Adam as our guide after being recommended him. He was incredible from start to finish, sharing information about Tanzania, the animals and so much more. We visited Ruaha national park , within over four days we saw lion, leopard and saw an abundance of wildlife - again Doto was fantastic at helping us with spotting the animals. As a group of three couples we all agreed the hospitality of everyone involved in our trip was top notch and felt Tanzania was one of the friendliest places!
I will DEFINITELY be recommending others to go with Wild Gaze Safaris and the best safari guide Nurdin Adam. Thank you for the unforgettable memories

Amazing Safari in Africa
5/5

Our family of four had an absolutely amazing time in the hands of wild Gaze Safaris. They were well organised from the booking through to dropping us off at the hotel and at the end of our trip. Special mention should be made of our Safari tour guide, Nurdin who was a knowledgeable, peaceful, friendly, sophisticated guy, and who delivered everything we wanted. We spent a 3hrs travelling to the Ruaha gate , spend two nights there , we saw the biggest pride in Ruaha the baobao pride , and many elephants , buffalo , and so many animals ...... Really we were so lucky to see three members from big five ,

Experience safari to Ruaha national Park with Nurdin our tour guide
5/5

I was so fortunate that the last 5 days were with Wild Gaze Safaris, And our exceptional guide, Nurdin

Nurdin was more than an experienced guide, he is a wise naturalist. Not only did he know the names and habits of every single animal and bird we saw, he knew the botanical names for every piece of Flora and fauna. And the man has bionic eyes! We came to know we were always in for a real treat when he would slowly pull our land cruiser to a stop and peer quietly out the window. And then he would point and say look right there… it's a female lion… it's a black rhino… it's a herd of elephants…. Then he would drive us closer, often getting within five feet the amazing animals we had traveled so far to see. Nurdin was more than a guide, he became a friend.

Our accommodations and food exceeded our expectations every step of the way.

I am longing to return to Tanzania and my 1st contact will be to Wild Gaze Safaris, with a special request for Nurdin.
