Reviews
Safari trip with great guides/drivers
This review is for Omary who wasn’t my guide for the safari but was my driver back to Arusha on my final day of the safari. He was polite and gregarious with a great sense of humour and was a great driver to end the trip with.

Omary ensures that you have the ultimate Serengeti experience.
Game travel provided an extraordinary experience on my Safari game drive . In addition patiently waited for opportunities to experience all the big 5 to ensure we had lasting memories. I highly recommend Gamedrive and look forward to my next adventure with the company and make sure Omary is your guide .

Well organized, flexible tour operator with experienced, knowledgeable and patient guide
Having grown up in South Africa visiting many parks in that region, I had realistic expectations from this tour of Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Tarangire. On the other hand, Serengeti is perhaps the most famous savannah region in the world, and I was excited finally to visit this area and I had high hopes for the visit. On the four-day tour I was nevertheless amazed to see so much wildlife, much more than expected, including big cats that are very elusive (including a cheetah and cub feeding, multiple lions, and two leopards). Partly the short grass in the dry season might've made it easier to spot the animals, and we were lucky to come across them. I was also lucky to join a relaxed and patient group of fellow-travelers (put together by the tour operator and unknown to me before the tour). However, the greatest credit is due to Simba, our expert guide with many years of experience; patient, kind and humble, Simba is obviously passionate about his work. Simba was able to anticipate the movements and behaviour of the animals, and on several occasions he suggested we pause at a site in the park, observing the animal behaviour, and he correctly predicted what the animals would do. By patiently waiting, we were able to experience some "National Geographic" moments - an elephant herd wallowing in the mud, hyena making a kill, another hiding a kill, etc. While there's an element of luck in these sightings, we would certainly have missed them if it weren't for Simba's patient approach, and we saw several other tour groups moving on down the road and missing the action rather than waiting as per our guide's suggestion to us. Simba accommodated our interests as a group, also spotting several bird species for us. Apart from his expert knowledge of the animals, Simba also expertly negotiated the bumpy roads. The company was communicative and responsive, and I partly chose this tour because it included the opportunity also to visit Olduvai Gorge within the four days (a highlight for visitors interested in evolution and anthropology, but not necessarily of interest or known to every visitor). With retrospect, I might've committed a separate half-day to this part of the tour, as it's hard to spend much time there while also fitting in the visits to Ngorongoro and Serengeti, but I do very much appreciate that this tour operator made it possible in the limited time I had, and Simba worked hard to fit it in. The tour price was reasonable and the experience surpassed my expectations. I highly recommend this company.
Incredible safari with Omary!!!
We did a 4 day safari, Tarangere, Serengeti and Ngorongoro. Our guide was Omary, what a legend! Omary is so knowledgeable and such a fun person to be in the car with for many hours! I wish I could bottle his laugh for a sad day 😄 Omary made our experience an unforgettable one and made sure we saw everything possible and as up close as possible - the big 5 and the ugly 5 🤣 Would recommend to anyone! We did mid range accomodation and it was stunning!

Enjoy Safari with Omary!
Great 4 days Safary with Omary, we visited Tarangine, Serengeti and Norongoro. His attention has been great and he tell us all about animals and answer all our questions.
Good humor and great laughter!
Amazing!
I just did the luxury 5 day and 4 night safari and my tour guide was assad, first of all, I would like to thank assad for the wonderful trip and all of the wonderful knowledge, game drive and sightseeings locations. The expectation was exceeded throughout the trip, Assad went above and beyond with the finding of animals. He would spot them out of nowhere, The amount of animals that I seen on the trip was astonishing even he mentioned that I had a very good luck with the amount of different species animals I seen. He always got the car in really good positioning for watching them and photos. I'd also like to add he was kind, polite, professional, had a relaxed personality, could have a laugh about things and he made me feel very comfortable the whole time. The food was great for lunch as it reminded me of home cooked meals, great supply of fluids, car was clean every day, the hotels are also super special and the staff were always sweet and happy. I feel like this would be amazing for honeymooners also. The hot airballoon was sooo amazing, the whole experience had me buzzing after. Anyways, I'd highly recommend this tour and if you get the chance Assad as your tour guide.

Amazing!!
We have just finished an incredible safari with Omar. He was an amazing guide - so knowledgable, friendly and funny, a joy to be around! He taught us so much about the animals, the landscape and the culture and we saw all of the big 5 and more!! He was a competent driver and we felt very safe with him.
He made our safari as special as it was - thank you for an adventure to remember forever!
We booked the tour through Mary at Enjoy Rejoice Adventures - she was so incredible you helpful, quick to respond and nothing was too much trouble. She organised every detail of our safari including airport transfers, internal flights to Zanzibar and hotel drop off at the end of our trip in Zanzibar. We are so grateful for her to making our trip so stress free.
Amazing holiday all round.

A unique experience with the great guide Omar!
It was a great experience where we enjoyed a lot, in which we saw many animals! Our guide was Omar. A magnificent driver!
Our experience was 4 days and 3 nights. The first night we slept in a hotel with very friendly staff and the last two nights in a public campsite. The last night has cooled down a bit.
It is important to bring warm clothes for the night!
