UNFORGETABLE MOMENTS IN URT
We had the absolute pleasure of being guided by Jackson Olais from GIZ Safaris Tanzania, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. Jackson is an incredibly humble, down-to-earth tour guide and driver who makes you feel comfortable from the very first moment.
He truly listens, is always ready to help, and never overprices or takes advantage something that makes a huge difference when traveling. He gives honest, unbiased local advice and helps you experience Tanzania in a genuine and authentic way. You can tell he is very comfortable in his own skin, and that confidence translates into calm, smooth, and enjoyable trips.
What stood out most is how easily he connects with all kinds of people from different walks of life. He simply fits in and makes everyone feel included and safe. I thoroughly enjoyed my trips to Ngorongoro Crater and Chemka Springs, and the highlight was the beautifully organized goat-eating party in the wilderness such a unique and unforgettable experience!
If you’re looking for a trustworthy, knowledgeable, and kind guide in Tanzania, Jackson Olais is your person. Highly recommended.

Once in a lifetime experience
We booked a two-day gorilla trek from Kigali to Bwindi Impenetrable National Park in Uganda and had a truly unique experience! Everything went smoothly, our driver Naboth was fantastic and absolutely reliable – from picking us up at our hotel to the transfers in the area and the return trip to Uganda. The gorilla trek was a real adventure, and after a two-hour hike, we found a family of 16 gorillas, which we were able to approach to within a meter to observe them. The gorillas weren't bothered at all. It was incredible. The Ichumbi Gorilla Lodge was also great. I would recommend this tour to everyone!

Magical Time in Kenya
This trip was beyond my expectations! The food was great and the accommodations were comfortable. The game drives and views were like none other and absolutely breathtaking. The guides led by Sammi were phenomenal and would highly recommend using them for any future travel to Kenya. Sammi is well respected and regarded among the local people of Kenya. The team of guides were knowledgeable and professional. The overall planning was executed seamlessly. This trip far exceeded our expectations and I cannot wait to visit again using Sammi and team as our guides.

Dream honeymoon and wild love Escape
Our honeymoon safari with Kilimanjaro Umoja tours was beyond amazing, thanks to our guide,Swalehe ! He was truly the best. Knowledgeable, funny, and super chill. He helped us find all the animals we wanted to see and made the entire experience unforgettable. He’s an excellent driver, made us feel safe and comfortable, and shared so much insight about the wildlife and the parks. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide. Kilimanjaro Umoja tours and Swalehe made this the trip of a lifetime!

Amazing lodge and safari!
We stayed for 2 nights at Mapumziko Lodge and everything was great. The place was really nice and the location was sublime, just next to Rufiji river. The room was cozy and clean. All the staff were friendly, helpful and professional. We even saw elephants from the terrace and plenty of black-and-white colobus and blue monkeys. Also we booked with them the activities: the river safari and the bushman walk were excellent but the full-day jeep safari was truly amazing. Totally recommended!

We had an absolutely incredible safari with Wild Media Safari! 💯
Communication with Jackie and Cornel before the trip was super easy and friendly – they always replied quickly, answered all of our questions & accommodated all of our wishes. They picked out amazing lodges as well, which made the whole experience even better :)
Our guide Charles was amazing as well – super nice and experienced and he could literally answer every single one of our many questions. We felt like other drivers & staff members in the lodges liked him just as much as we did 😊
We got very lucky and saw more than we even hoped for. We didnt only see the Big 5, but we also saw tons of other animals plus lions mating and even lions hunting, which genuinely felt like a once-in-a-lifetime experience - so we can wholeheartedly recommend both Charles and Wild Media Safari! ❤️
Eliab is very knowledgeable, knows the country well and provides outstanding service.
I have known Eliab since 2019. He and his family are awesome, his wife has provided food/dishes for my local partners. He knows the country and can provide many options: gorilla trek, visiting the chimpanzees, going on a safari, and so much more. If you have time, go through what I call the enchanted forest, you will think you are in a Disney movie. He knows the people in the hotel industry can recommend a range of options from top tier hotels to basic hostels. In many places, you can spend the night without the continual noise of wave runners, etc. It is so peaceful to be able to look at a quiet lake with birds and different animals. He knows the best places to eat a variety of international dishes. He is well versed in the history of the country. Also, enjoy some of his recorded music as he and his wife sing in the church choir. Eliab can provide many options/suggestions and will meet you at the airport, take you on an amazing tour and will wave goodbye as you leave the country.

The right choice to visit and experience Uganda
Uganda was a pleasant discovery and Candrem Expedition the best guide.
Andrew is kind, helpful and knowledgeable.
The accommodations were clean, comfortable and suitable for the context, without being too luxurious and impersonal.
The activities and safari were interesting, engaging and well organised; we saw lots of animals: everything we were looking for...and more!
The transfers, sometimes a little long, but always comfortable and with the right times and breaks.
Uganda and the tour were beyond our expectations!
