Excellent Safari Tour Operator
Gilmag Safaris – Amazing Trip in Tanzania
What an amazing experience this trip was! I have been wanting to do this for a while and a work trip to Tanzania gave me that kick to finally do it. Me being a planner, I researched a lot of tour companies and Gilmag Safaris received overwhelming positive feedback. Everything was very thoughtfully planned, from pick-up time and what to expect through on arrival, to sleeping accommodations, dining, etc.
Nickson, our tour guide while in Tanzania, was fantastic. He was so knowledgeable and was very patient with us and the hundreds of questions that were asked. During the tours he gave us plenty of time to explore the local markets, Tanzanite Experience, which was greatly appreciated. From a scale of 1 to 10, the trip itself was a 10, but Nickson made it a 15!
Over the course of our 8 days trip, with his wit, wisdom, encyclopedic knowledge, care, compassion, and sense of humor, Nickson became family. If you are fortunate enough to get Nickson as your guide, you are in for a special treat.
In Serengeti, I would highly recommend staying at Tanzania Pure Tented Camp and not a hotel. It is set in a beautiful location and the tents are very comfortable and showers are more than adequate.
I would definitely recommend Gilmag Safaris, and thank you, Nickson, for sharing your amazing country with us!

Amazing, professional, dependable, kind, and trustworthy..
I worked with Joseph to coordinate a trip for my loved one's birthday. Joseph responded to our quote request within hours, worked promptly to customize it, and followed up with necessary information to make the trip possible. My aunt and uncle had a great time with Joseph, he even remembered and helped coordinate their birthday celebration while on the safari. Joseph went above and beyond to ensure they were comfortable, enjoying their time and well taken care of.
Great customer service, communication, and professionalism. It's hard to trust what you see and get online, especially with money, but Joseph never pushed for payment and waited until he had provided services before asking for the payment.
Thank you once again, kaka Joseph. This was a great experience.
Oh! Did I mention how affordable the trip was?! Just all-around amazing!!!

Amazing!
The Safari was really an enormous experience, our guide was amazing, especially his professionalism, kindness and also storytelling. All the time we were on the right spot for seeing all of the animals. He also knew a lot of how the animals life, hunt and behave. And not only the animals, also about the land itself, the culture and the history. And also important, he was a safe driver, knew exactly where he was all the time and hè was very friendly. Really a lifetime experience!

Well prepared, best route and best guide
The whole trip was incredible. Robert was very helpful while organzing the 9 days safari route we did, answering with very detailed answers and always super quick. Once we arrived our guide and now friend Huzair (H) picked us from the airport and took us to our fist hotel. He knows very well not just the animals and routes but culture of his country. He answered our 1000 questions always with a smile and took us to very cool spots for lunch, dinner.
We really want to come back to Uganda and when it comes we will definitely repeat with Africa Adventures and H!

Perfect in their job
Oakland Tours and Safari are the best in the market. They get to understand your need and budget and will give you the best options available. And when you’ve made your choice they will plan to the finest details to make sure your trip is perfect. They would also call you before,during and after the trip to make sure that you are okay and comfortable.
I highly recommend them to anybody planning to go for a vacation.

Beyond the gorillas
We have just arrived from a trip to Uganda organized by Gorilla Bookings. We would like to strongly recommend them as everything turned out perfectly. Both the deals prior to the start of the trip, and the program carried out. We want to especially thank our driver and guide Allan. We were lucky to be assigned this great professional, apart from being a great person. If you ever book a trip with this agency, don't hesitate to ask for him directly. He knows the places like no one else and made everything run smoothly. He balanced our trip by adapting to our way of being and offering us experiences tailored to our tastes, so we discovered that there is a Uganda beyond the gorillas that is very worthwhile. Throughout my life I have traveled a lot and it is difficult to repeat a destination. But as for Uganda, I can't wait to go back. Definitely book with Gorilla Bookings company.

Friendly & knowledgeable staff, a diversity of activities to enjoy & an overall awesome experience.
My sister Kim and I thoroughly enjoyed our 10 day Signature Tour (Safari & Cape Town) of South Africa with Go Touch Down Tours in April & May, 2022. All of our tour guides - Bill on the Safari portion, Lindo at Humala River Lodge and J.P. in Cape Town were friendly, informative, knowledgeable and went above and beyond to help us enjoy each activity. All of the other staff at each of the resorts where we stayed were also awesome, as were the accommodations and all the meals we enjoyed, especially the bries! Also, the small size and cohesiveness of our tour group made the trip that much more enjoyable.
The Safari experiences at both Humala - Songimvelo Game Reserve & Pilanesberg National Park were amazing and Cape Town and surroundings were a beautiful area to explore, and we have some awesome photos and memories to last a lifetime. Great value for the money and I would highly recommend Go Touch Down to anyone, young or old, wanting to enjoy an awesome, complete Africa Tour experience.
