The Best Trip Of Our Lives
Our recent safari to Tanzania has gone down as the best trip of our lives. We postponed this trip several times for personal reasons and Rama was always flexible to accommodate our requests with no additional charges. In the end we created a wonderful private itinerary that was perfect for my family. We visited Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater with Martin as our guide. He is an excellent driver, handling the 4x4 well even in tricky situations, but it was his guiding skills that are up there. In addition to the migration, we also managed to see all the big 5 and many other animals. We found the all the camps and lodges that we were booked in welcoming and comfortable.
I have 10 out of 10 for the Gecko Team.

Stress Free Adventure in Tanzania
Going with Gecko Adventures made our vacation stress free. They organized for everything from the moment we landed in Julius Nyerere Airport - transport, accommodations, park fees, permits, meals and other activities like the boat ride in Rufuji and the guided walking tour. Issa, our guide was knowledgeable about Selous and the best spots to find wildlife, great views and water birds. I would be lying if I said that this trip was not full of adventure and special encounters with wildlife, because we every turn of the game drives revealed amazing views.
Accommodations were nice, well serviced and comfortable. Food was also delightful.
If we are ever to return to Tanzania I will definitely be using Gecko Adventures

Amazing Experience
Our experience with Gecko Adventure was incredible. We toured the huge Selous with Rama and he is a fabulous guide and host. His many years' experience of safari in this park was evident. He expertly captured our attention at all times. There was never a dull moment with him, knowing where to find the action. Selous has lots of animals, birds and water-life. We went on an amazing boat ride, did fishing and camping. Actually three days were not enough to explore the whole park. We were left yearning for more.
Thank you Rama for the special treat!

Great Day Trip
Spent a wonderful day snorkeling with guide Omar then later visited Sinda Island. Rama organized the trip on very short notice and it turned out very well. I have nothing but thanks for the whole trip. It was much fun and quite exciting diving in the clear blue waters.

A great holiday in Tanzania
The trip to Tanzania with Gecko Adventure Tanzania was excellent. We got to see and experience wild Africa where many different species roamed in their natural setting. Encountering lions in Serengeti, and Ngorongoro Crater did it for me. These creatures are huge, majestic and so beautiful. I also saw hippos for the first time, lots of elephant herds, huge herds with thousands of wildebeest, baboons, zebras, crocodiles, flamingoes, monkeys........ and so much more.
The camps and lodges were also nice resting spots after safari. Serengeti Wildcamp was super in Serengeti!
A great holiday

Great Service and Safari Experience
Rama was nice and professional to work with. Once he understood what we wanted, he helped us plan the entire trip with the parks to visit, accommodations and extras like the hot air balloon ride, visits to the hippo pool, Maasai village and Hadzabe bush tribe visit all for very reasonable costs.
Everything went as planned with sights to behold in Ngorongoro Crater and Serengeti plains. So many animals in their authentic natural environment.
We had an amazing time and will return soon.

Great Tanzania Safari
My husband and I had a wonderful five days on safari with Musa of Gecko Adventure. Musa is an amazing guy who showed and taught us so much about Tanzania through the trip.
The game drives in the different parks were incredible. Musa knew where to find the animals, approaching the animals carefully without spooking them and patient to let us see the animals, take shots for as long as we wanted. We spent so much time with him in the 4x4 that he became part of our fam that we were sad to say goodbye when he dropped us off at JRO.
Rama had made this trip easy with great planning and attention to detail that we missed nothing.
I would love to return for another trip to Tanzania with GAT and Musa as our guide.

The most remarkable safari experience
Rama our contact and host in Tanzania and Super-guide Musa were a pleasure to work with. I took my family on a four day safari to Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater. Musa was highly knowledgeable about the wildlife, birds, history and generally everything about Tanzania. A really charming person who is passionate about conservation and guiding visitors.
We were able to see so many animals upclose, including all the big 5, birds and beautiful landscapes. We also visited the Maasai local tribe who entertained us with dances, food and cultural curios.
I would not change anything about our trip and highly recommend Gecko Adventure Tanzania

Perfect From Start to Finish
Our recent trip to Tanzania's Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro with Gecko Adventures was perfect. There was so much to see ranging from animals, birds, landscapes and also interacted with some local communities - Maasai and Hadzabe tribes.
Rama booked us in excellent camp and lodges that I am already missing these places when I mention them.
I am happy with Rama for keeping close all through the planning and even during the actual safari when we were with driver/guide Musa. They key highlights include; numerous lion and elephant encounters in all the parks, a lone leopard in Serengeti, the hot air balloon flyover in Serengeti and the beauty of Ngorongoro Crater as we descended to the crater floor......
This was a great trip and we will be back for another adventure
