Our Guide was great! He was very knowledgeable about all the animals we saw and took good care of us
I had an amazing time! we did a 3 day safari with a boat trip and two game drives. We were picked up in Dar es Salaam and brought directly to the camp, during the drive we had some lunchboxes. The food during our whole stay was really good! it was also no issue to request vegetarian and vegan food options. The camp itself was nice and quiet, there even was a pool. I also felt very safe the whole time I was there and all of the staff there are really nice. For me the best part of our safari was the whole day game drive. We started in the morning right after breakfast and came back after sunset. The park is full of giraffes, Impallas and warthogs as well as many other animals. We were not lucky enough to see the big cats but that was no issue for me at all. I was already very satisfied with the amount of animals we saw. Staying in the car the whole time was also very comfortable as the roof can be opened a bit which means that you can stand up during the drive and look outside to take better pictures for instance. If I ever visit that park again I will probably book the same package as I really got my money's worth with it.

They offer high quality Service and have amazing staff.
We booked a low-budget safari from Tarrain Tanzania Safari, but it was not feeling like that. We got an amazing service. We got picked up in Dar es Salaam by our guide and he was doing the whole safari with us. Even the chief just came for us. She cooked amazing and more than enough food. She cooked vegetarian and even vegan food for us. It was no problem at all if we had any wishes to customize our safari. It was definitely worth it!

Unforgettable Experience
Our 3-Day Safari with Terrain Tanzania Safaris was just great. We had the chance to personalise our trip like we wished and to realise all our wishes. The Safari it self was also an unforgettable experience. Our Tourguide Diodenis was the best. He has so much knowledge of his field and you can see that he loves his job. All in all I can’t complain about one single thing. So a big thank you for this great experience!! I would definitely recommend Terrain Tanzania Safaris.

Horrible experience
We booked this company for both Kenya and Tanzania safaris, They completely spoiled our Kenya Masai Mara experience, the guide we got name called Ole spoiled our complete experience by misguiding us and when we tried to call the tour company owner George, he was not at all responsive while we were in Kenya.
They treated us well while we were in Tanzania got a very good guide name called Omar but our Kenya and Masai Mara experience was horrible.
And when we were suppose to get AA Lodge at Ambosali National park, they gave one basic room where it was not a finished room with open nails and all, the beds were not even equipped with mosquito nets and my kids were bitten by at least 50 Mosquitos on that night.
Summary: Our experience in Tanzania is ok but definitely spoiled my Kenya experience.
I recommend you to avoid this company.
Reply from Terrain Tanzania Safaris
Posted on Aug 1, 2023Your Masai Mara experience to me was a great one - you had a full day of game drive on day two from 8:00 to around 18:00, I remember to have spoken to you at exactly 17:47hrs and your reply was , can I call you in one hour? Still in a game drive.
The following day was a transit day and not a game drive day since you were to be at the border from 9:00Am, we have a shortcut route to get to the border but you insisted to cross through the reserve and delayed at the gate for 2hrs because our guide didn’t have these informations - yes I was not available (church) but my colleague Eric whom I gave you his contacts authorized and we paid for you to cross through the Reserve. While on transit through the reserve - it was another game drive which ended up with late arrival at the border.
Masai Mara to Serengeti NP via Isebania border we recommend clients to cross this border between 10:00hrs and 12:00hrs but you crossed the border at 15:45hrs because you insisted and extended a Game Drive in Masai Mara. I had to call and inform the incharge of Serengeti Gate on your late check-in to the Park, of course you arrived relatively late at the gate and after dark at the Camp.
On your last two days in Tanzania - I left my office work and took the responsibility to drive and guide you to Mt Kilimanjaro as part of your schedule, I wanted to find out if anything was wrong - but you seemed to be very happy.
Amboseli NP, we could not find rooms at AA both nights , I explained and we agreed to a different Camp of which you did not like, efforts were done and we moved you to AA second night. The rest of the accommodations were as per itinerary. THANKS.

Tanzania was great, Can not recommend them for Kenya.
It was a great time in Serengeti and entire Tanzania, The crew in Tanzania took really good care of us, If i need to review just Tanzania I can give 5/5 rating.
In Kenya we did our game drives with one of their partner company and Not a good experience.
For Tanzania: 5/5 rating
For Kenya : 1/5 rating.

Excellent.
Easy and quick communication with George. Our guide Mac was very knowledgeable and experienced. We booked the 4-day mid-range safari and we could not be more satisfied with our choice. Highly recommended.

An Amazing African Adventure
Wow! 18 days and every single one included a unique experience. George-owner and our guide-has SO MUCH knowledge and info to share. Every driver was great but Ben was our favorite.
We went to Kenya & Tanzania, 6 different national/private parks, saw the big 5- many times!, spent two afternoons learning about farming and industry in the area.
The weather (mid September into early October) was perfect.
A life-changing experience. I would definitely go back.

Fantastic, knowledgeable. Curteous, helpful,charming and a complete gentleman.
Definitely the trip of a lifetime! I was fortunate enough to find George Killas, owner of Terrain Tanzania Safaris and after many discussions on WhatsApp i booked an 18 day semi private all inclusive trip to Kenya and Tanzania. It was considered a luxury tour and it definitely was. The hotels were modern and lovely 4 star as well as the lodges and amazing Tent cabins in the bush. In fact, i was able to get one of the best 1 hour massages ever in my tent. Food was included, 3 meals a day and was always good. George took care of all arrangements and then some. He was always available and helpful day and night. Our safari vehicles were very comfortable and one even had a refrigerator for cold drinks..a major plus in the bush.
Not only did we see the big 5 a number of times but lion families, baboon families, elephant families, cheetah brothers, and due to our eagle eyed driver, Juma, we found a leopard sleeping on a branch in a tree!!! Amazing how close we got to her. I could count the whiskers on her face! All of our drivers were amazing. Ours was a very long and expensive trip but worth every penny. Truly was able to enjoy every moment and experience. I highly recommend Terrain Tanzania Safari company and George Killas who can customize a fantastic safari experience to fit your schedule and budget. He is very accommodating and easy to work with. You can also experience a trip of a lifetime.

Terrain Tanzania Safari is a great Safari operator.
We had the best Safari with Terrain Tanzania Safaris. We rarely had to wait to see animals on our game drives. We saw the Big Five plus so many others and photo ops galore including iconic photos with animals and landscape photos of sunsets or sunrises with animals or acacia trees. If I were asked by a friend what company to go with I would whole heartedly recommend Terrain Tanzania Safari. My family and friends were in awe of my photos. That was thanks to George and his eagle eye.
