Unforgettable Tanzania
The trip to Tanzania was absolutely fantastic, particularly because of the amazing action packed game drives with guide Benson and also because of the super great resorts that we were booked in. We enjoyed the boat safari, fishing, bird watching and the walking safaris in addition to the game drives, which all enhanced the experience in a big way.
Selous is like no other place we have been to as there was always a new experience waiting to be discovered. We will definitely come back for another adventure.

A trip to Selous is one of a kind
This trip to Selous with Gecko Adventure Tanzania was amazing. We went with guide Otto and we definitely had the best five days as a family this year! The game drives in Selous are one of kind, particularly the boat safari along Rufiji River was absolutely fantastic as went floating with elephants, giraffes, zebras, lions and other animals on the banks, and hippos in the river. Otto helped us explore various sections of the parks and he would find interesting sights all over. We came across a huge python in the process of swallowing an whole antelope which was a rare sighting.
The lodge in Selous was beautiful and food unbelievably good. We could have stayed here for the rest of our lives were it possible

Perfect Safari in Tanzania
We truly had an amazing safari in Tanzania where we made amazing memories. We are totally impressed by the amazing work put in by Gecko Adventure Tanzania to make sure that we had an excellent time. Our guide Philip went above and beyond to find all the animals that we wanted to see, and also to keep our young boys captivated. He answered all our questions with well thought out answers and his genuine concern for our comfort and happiness was evident all through.
We saw many different animals ranging from the huge elephants, lions, leopard, rhinos, wild dogs, hyenas, buffaloes and lots wildebeest in Northern Serengeti.
We were impressed by the lengths that Rama had gone to ensure we had a perfect experiences, like organizing for a complimentary birthday cake for my son Toon at Pakulala Camp in Ngorongoro on his birthday! That was really cool!
The overall experience was amazing and given another opportunity we would return in heartbeat.

Awesome
We spent our fabulous honeymoon in Tanzania with Musa of Gecko Adventure Tanzania. Everything about this trip was perfect, from the moment we arrived in JNIA to our departure we were treated like royalty.
Our guide Musa was the star of the trip, he knew the Selous like the back of his hand, he took us on a life journey as we explored different sections of the expansive park. One can hardly believe that the five days we were there were not enough to cover the park. There was harsly any other human traffic and this gave us the utmost privacy and time to enjoy the park without interruptions. The boat ride and fishing outing on Rufiji River were awesome.
There was so much to see and we really had an awesome safari. Thank you Rama for organizing such a romantic getaway away from the crowds.
We will cherish these memories forever!

Incredible Safari
We went on a safari to Selous and Mikumi with Otto and it was incredible. These parks are some of the best places to see wildlife in their natural habitat in the world. We enjoyed the game drives as we came from one great animal encounter to the next. We managed to see lots of elephants, lions, giraffes, hippos, a lot of birdlife and many other species of wildlife that is abundant in Mikumi and Selous.
The lodges were amazing, we enjoyed the first class service and staying in the tented luxury rooms. The food was excellent and they would pack excellent baskets for our picnic lunches. We also enjoyed the surprise candle lit dinner on our anniversary.
All in all we had an amazing time in Tanzania, thanks to Rama putting the trip so well, that it was flawless!

We are in love with Tanzania
We spent 6 days in Tanzania with guide Musa and had such a wonderful time that we did not want to leave. The country is so beautiful and all the people we met were friendly and nice to us. The game drives through the the different parks wit Musa were amazing, we saw many different animals, starting with elephants, lions, hippos, wildebeest, giraffes, baboons, zebras...... many times over in different settings making it all so special. It was fun being with Musa as his passion for conservation and genuine attention made us feel wanted and safe. He never rushed us, but took the time to explain everything well to our satisfaction, creating a very relaxed atmosphere. He's truly one of a kind
Each evening would find us in different lodge aside from Mbali Mbali in Sergengeti where we stayed for 3 nights. Each was unique and memorable in it own special way.
We truly did not want leave and strongly considered changing our departure date to spend more time in Tanzania. Thank you Rama for the flawless and enchanting trip

5* All Through The Safari
Our safari was absolutely phenomenal. We were very impressed by the organization and service that was put in before and during or trip. It was all 5*!! We were very impressed by our guide Otto. He was super knowledgeable with many years experience of guiding safaris in Tanzania. He answered all our questions and stopped every time we came to an interesting scene or spotted wildlife. He would then tell us so much about the particular animal, habits etc. He was also knowledgeable about all the birds that we saw during the trip.
I have to commend Rama's choice of lodgings. They were amazing!
We were looking for an amazing experience in Tanzania and we got it from Gecko Adventure Tanzania.

Amazing safari experience in Tanzania with an Amazing guide.
We did a lot of searching on the net before we zeroed in on Gecko Adventure Tanzania coupled by the strong recommendation from our friends from the University who had recently done a trip with Gecko. I am happy to say that they not only delivered on the package but also exceeded our expectations in many ways.
To start with we had a private 4x4 with a driver/guide - Martin just for us. This made it so cool and exclusive. Martin turned out to be an amazing guide, very skilled and experienced in guiding guests to Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro. His knowledge of the circuit made it easy to find the animals, nice spots for picnics and an excellent commentator of our encounters. The game drives are trully unforgetable, we encountered so many different animals upclose. The overall experience was enhanced by staying in tented camps in the bush. We would hear the lions roar at night sendind chills up my spine.... It was like we had been cast in a reality movie!
The quality of service and the food in the camps was very good. They spared no efforts for our comfort, and we were hundreds of kms from civilization.
Thank you so much for a five star experience. I highly recommend Gecko Adventure Tanzania.

A Dream Family Vacation
My family of five had an absolutely incredible safari in Tanzania lasting seven days in Selous, Saadani and Zanzibar. The trip blew our minds as it exceeded all our expectations. We spent 4 days in the mainland exploring Saadani which was spectacular. Seeing animals on land and enjoying the pristine white sandy beaches made it incredibly exciting. Selous was spectacular too. There were so many different animals, birds and beautiful habitats, particularly along Rufiji River.
Three days of ultimate relaxation on the Kendwa beach of Zanzibar were amazing. Thank you Rama for putting together this rare trip. It was flawless and next time we will definitely do a longer version.
