Unique stay around Iringa
5/5

I had 1.5 days to experience Iringa and its surroundings, which is not much time to experience the area (spoiler: will have to come back!)

Ernest made the very best out of the two days, showing me Iringa town, walking up Gangilonga rock, driving to Isimila and Mkwawa Museum, and Igeleke Rock paintings from Stone Age. The area and its history is truest fascinating. Iringa is a very nice city to stay and Ernest knows not only to show you around very well but has a lot of stories and information that make your days incredibly interesting. Ask him to drive you to Lake Mtera to get to know the countryside and Masai lifestyle better and make your stay a trielt unique experience. Asante sana, Ernest :)

Spectacular wild life in Ruaha, helpful guide and relaxing atmosphere
5/5

We went on a three day/two night trip at Ruaha and really enjoyed the game drive with Michael! It was amazing how fast we were able to see so many different kinds of animals - we couldn't have imagined! Also we had the impression that Michael really loves the animals and nature, he had a lot of information for us and knew when and where to find the animals.
Special thanks again for helping us buying bus tickets in Iringa after the safari!
The accommodation in bandas and food was fine!

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.

Efficient
5/5

The best was the 2 days safari in Mikumi NP. The 1 full day in Undzungwas was also excellent (very interesting in flora and landscape, forest and montain). I recommend to stay 2 nights at bandas into the Mikumi NP (confortable, clean and good service). The weak point was the lodge in Undzungwa NP (no really confortable). I recommend the company Wild Gaze safaris, the guide (Mikel) excellent in everything. We could see a lot of fauna.
I recommend 2 nights and 2 and half days in Mikumi and 2 nights and 1 full day in Unzungwa.
Bye.

3 unforgettable days
5/5

We did 3 days in Ruaha National Park in early October and it was an unforgettable experience! We have seen many animals, for example the lion, the leopard, the elephant, the eagle, the buffalo, the hippo, the python, the antelope and many others!

Both breakfast, lunch and dinner included in the price are excellent and substantial.

Michael picked us up at our facility in Iringa and accompanied us throughout the tour. He is a very prepared guy, passionate about his work, nice, reliable, punctual, available and knows very well the habits and behaviors of animals ... I absolutely recommend him !!!

I will come back and will definitely contact you and Michael! Thank you!

Amazing trip to Nyerere, great value for money
5/5

We did a 4 day/3 night safari to Nyerere National Park with Ernest. We had the most amazing time and I can't say enough good things about Ernest and Wild Gaze.

We initially got in touch with Ernest when we were still planning what we wanted to do and he helped us plan everything to encompass exactly what we were looking for with a super reasonable budget. He worked with us on making sure everything was set in advance so we didn't have to worry about anything.

My friend and I felt looked after the whole time. Our accommodation was basic, but very budget friendly, which is what we were going for. Ernest's game drive through Nyerere National Park was stellar. I've been on several safaris in Tanzania and Ernest is such a professional, really going above and beyond to make sure we had a great experience. He just very clearly is an expert in what he does. He arranged for really great specialist guides as well for our boat safari and for a bush walking safari.

The whole experience was excellent from the time he picked us up in Dar es Salaam to when he dropped us back off four days later. I will definitely be back in touch to arrange future safaris with Ernest.

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.

Experienced kindfull person
5/5

I was on a safari with 4 friends of mine in the ruaha Park. We had a really good time but then we had some missunderstadings about the booking and stuff in the end. After this we talked to Ernest the boss of the company and he took full responsibility and even drove 3 hours to our home to talk with us to find a solution which fits for everybody. Then 2 weeks later we were again in the park, this time with ernest, and for free and we had again a really good time and saw because of ernests knowledge again a lot of animals in Special spots.
So I can fully recommend ernest and his company with good prices, really experienced drivers, and a loyal owner.

Amazing
5/5

Ruaha National Park with Ernest is the best way to visit it. It was my second time in Ruaha, and thanks to him we got to see many other places, It was beautiful. During the game drive he takes so many little roads into the bushes and you spot many more animals . I would recommend to anyone Wild Gaze Safaris as they are very professional and Ernest does his job with passion.
