A tailor made safari with experienced guides
Before safari, communications have been great: answers to our questions were provided promptly. Program was very clear. Flexibility for last minute changes was helpful and can be highlighted. Changes to the original program were proposed to better fit to our expectations. During trip, guides were always on time and able to adapt to changing environment. They were offering high class service with smile. The general impression is reliability.

We have spend a dream trip thanks gecko adventure and his planning which was perfect.
The service was perfect and for the "Selous" safari, we were alone in the Reserve. It's was very good to see animals and the lodge, a place of peace and beauty. You must take the plan to dar es sallam, it's fantastic.Zanzibar is a very nice place to relax. The planning has been respected and no problem of transport.
I think this isone it's one of the best travel we have ever done, thanks Rama.

A quite good safari trip from Gecko Adventure
We made a two day safari tour in August 2013 in Mikumi National Park with Gecko Adventure (Mr.Rama). I did the reservation from homeland, and there was almost no problem with tour organization. This was the only organization that sent me the exact tour schedule (hour by hour), and we fully complied with this schedule. We stayed in Mikumi Wildlife Camp (inside the park) and it was perfect, clear and friendly. The safari guide (Mr. Sky) was also very good, he made his best to fulfill all our requests and hence we were able to see all types of animals in two day game drive (some guests in hotel haven't seen any lion in two days, but we were able to see 8 lions just in a half day drive). The only disappointment was that the safari vehicle was not the same as promised. It was a van instead of jeep but later in safari it had no disadvantage.

Family safari in south of Tanzania
Gecko has been very reactive for the preparation of the Safari with mails exchange from France. They have tailored the trip with my recommandations. No surprise during the safari, everything was perfectly organised

A different adventure for us
We met with Rama and our guide Gaston; at the time in the morning. Along the way Mikumi National park; we had no trouble..Gaston was very Professional, experienced and very kind..Mikumi is about 4-5 hours from Dar..so you can a little tired during the trip..But when we arrived to Vuma Hills Lounge we stayed , our tiredness over..I definitely recommend Vuma Hills..we stayed 2 nights.. otherwise the game drive was very fantastic.. It was like being a dream or a documantery..We saw a leopard, crocodile, hippo, gnu, impala, elephant, giraffe, zebra, baboon, ,boar, jackal and many animals. Also in the loung the funny bushbabies...
This experience, was very different and like an adventure for us.. We really enjoyed it with Gecko.. Thanks for everything..

Satisfied tour adventure with Gecko
The communications in advance of the tour went very well and quick with Rama the contact person.
The private tour of 5 days was very nice and exciting and we had a very good english speaking gide/driver with very good eyes. He saw most animals much earlyer as we did and we have seen the big five and much more. The accomodation and lodges were very good and met the expectations. It is by the way intended that the guide/driver has dinner with you in the accommodations, which was not told beforehand. If you want to have romantic dinners this is not very convenient. The 4wheeldrive car was very good but the power chargers did not work so bring enough power with you. The partner of Rama was also very friendly and helpfull.
Reply from Gecko Adventure Tanzania
Posted on Oct 21, 2016Many thanks for the review Rolf. I will speak with my guides regarding eating with clients so that can be on request. Also we have been working with power chargers system, they are now working okay.

Solid experience, knowledgeable guide
No complaints could be made. Rama was very good answering all initial queries. Otto was very knowledgeable and good company.
Saw 3 of the big 5. no rhino, no leopard.
Driving from Dar Es Salaam to Mikumi took 7 hours which is okay as you see the country, but if you cant handle the heat, it can be a long old ride!
