Excellent Service and wonderfull Safari
The booking was very easy and the tour operator was very flexible and open.
The tour itself (3 day tour to Selous NP) was excellent organized, the car was in a very good shape, the guide was a great driver, knew a lot about his country and the fauna and flora and was very guest minded.
All in all a perfect tour.

Safari Selous & Ruaha
The arangements from flights, hotels and safaris were first class. We thank Rama for the booking and organization of the whole holiday. We will not hesitate to recommend Gecko Adventure Tanzania to friends and family.
Thanks for everything, and hope to see you in the future.

Gecko delivers and brings the safari wildlife in front of your eyes.
We enjoyed 4 day safari tour with Gecko very much. As agreed, the 4 days of wild adventure were more than we expected. We thank to our guide Said, who is a living enceclopedy of Africa and especially of wild life in safari. He was very professional and did go along with all our wishes. Accomodation in Selius River Camp was excellent, as well was the food and service. Gecko Adventure is definitely reliable and trustful agency which I would recommend to others.

bad food, and not enough of it
We stayed at two safari places in Selous Game Reserve, Sable Lodge and Rufiji River Lodge, selected by Gecko. Sable had OK food, but small portions that left you hungry. Rufiji River Lodge had food that was not at all pleasant or appetizing -- you just ate a bare minimum to stave off hunger. At $300/pp/day, I expected better.
Also, the train trip to Selous was not pleasant. 3rd Class or whatever it was is a real surprise for Westerners. Nothing bad happened, but it felt on edge.
Other than these, Gecko did a fine job. I wouldn't use them again, though, I don't think.

The Best Ever!!!
From the very beginning of booking this safari with Rama I knew I had found a gem! All transfers, awesome accomodations, ridiculously wonderful food and our own private driver in the park, Antoine. He made our trip special and wonderful. He knew every square inch of Mukumi and all its treasures. This was so inexpensive and incredible.
I HIGHLY recommend this company and please stay in the Park. AMAZING!!!!!
Unfortunately Short but Great Safari Experience
We had a short safari tour by Gecko Adventure to Mikumi. It was all smooth and nice. Our tour guide 'Afra' was very heplful and friendly. Even if we do 2 days safari, our game drives were very good. We saw almost all the spicies on the park. Thank you again for everything!

Amazing safari/beach honeymoon with the personal touch you can only get from a local company.
Being from England we thought long and hard about the risks of going with a local agent, it was the best decision we could have made. The holiday was perfect with clear information and english speaking drivers meeting us at every point. I was also told that Gecko phoned to check we made it to each location.
I gave Gecko an idea of what we wanted to do and was offered various packages at much better prices then were available in the UK (we did book our own international flights). We stayed at Selous River Camp and Hakuna Matata in Zanzibar both of which were amazing.
I would highly recommend Gecko to other travellers, the communication and overall service was perfect.

The best Safari..
We would hereby give Gecko Safari, Rama Mo and Said Nganga our beset recommendations. We travelled to Tanzania in July 2014. Before our departure we contacted Gecko Safaris the email correspondence was very easy and Rama Mo very fast understood our wishes and put together a perfect program for our safari. We went to Udzungwa Mountains and Seleous nature reserve. Every question we had regarding the trip was swiftly answered by Rama Mo. The price for the safari was very reasonable compared to other tour operators. When we arrived in Dar es Salam everything was exactly as planned, we had Said Nganga as our guide and driver for the 6 days. He was an excellent guide with an enormous knowledge about his country; plants, animals, history geographic and politics. He was friendly, professional, funny and very good company during the trip. Furthermore he is the best driver; Fast, but all the time safe driving on dirt roads, with crazy African traffic. On the safari we saw any animal you could expect, even several lions, all due to Said´s knowledge and skills. Accommodation and food on the trip was all very nice. All in all a perfect planned and fantastic trip thanks to Rama and Said.
Best regards Lotte, Tyge, Oskar and Stine
