Amazing Safari experience!!
A huge thank you to Gilmag Safaris! I’d especially highly recommend our amazing guide Max. We were usually back at the hotel by around 4 PM every day thanks to his incredible efficiency. On our first safari day, we spotted three of the Big Five; the second day, four. We saw the cheetah on the second-to-last day, and finally tracked down the leopard on our last day to complete the full Big Five. Max was almost always among the first to spot them!
What matters most is you can truly feel his genuine passion for wildlife. During the Mara river crossing, he didn’t push forward aggressively. Instead, he found us the perfect viewing spot at a proper, respectful distance. He told us all about every animal we passed, big or small. We were so lucky to have Max with us!

Unforgettable Experience
My wife and I recently, Oct, 2026, returned from an unforgettable experience in South Africa and Mauritius. Our trip was planned from start to finish with Kim Wagner from Safari Online. Our experience with Kim was exceptional. I started our planning process by requesting quotes from 3 travel providers. Kim's initial response resonated with what I was looking for and I decided to proceed working with her. I am so glad we did. Kim was an excellent communicator promptly answering my many questions and constantly reassuring me of my concerns even though we were 6 hours apart.
This was our first trip to Africa and my wife was very apprehensive and concerned about going to Africa. Kim planned a 3 week trip that included Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe, a Safari in Sabi Sands (Kruger Park), Cape Town, Franschhoek (wine country) and wind down on a resort in Mauritius. Once I was well into planning our trip, Kim setup a Zoom session so we could get to know each other better and further discuss the details of our trip. Kim planned the whole trip perfectly, from flights, transfers, tours, guides, hotels and even restaurant reservations. She provided a detailed, day-by-day, itinerary so we could better understand the hotels and tours that were being planned. When I was close to finalizing our trip she provided a brief video of what was planned for us. I must say the video was amazing and reflected what we actually experienced.
Prior to our trip and once every small detail was discussed and worked out, I mean every detail, Kim provided a detailed email package containing information, from suggested packing list, gratuity suggestions, city information to a detailed day-by-day itinerary of what was planned, what was included and what was excluded; she even provided access to a travel App that contained our day to day itinerary. Very thorough and helpful while on our trip.
Kim's support didn't stop once we left for our trip. Kim continued to provide prompt and detailed support, she provided boarding passes 24 hrs. before our flights and continued to promptly address any questions or issues that we encountered; her service was exemplary.
The places we visited, hotels, tours, guides and restaurants that Kim booked for us were all top notch and the service we received was exceptional.
We had an unforgettable and amazing trip; the sights we saw, the safari experience, the luxury hotels, the delicious restaurants and the people we met and become friends with made our trip one that we will never forget. My wife who was apprehensive of going to Africa and scared of going on a safari loved it!
I would highly recommend Kim Wagner and Safari Online, for your next trip. Her communication skills, understanding of her clients needs and fears, her organization and attention to detail is second to none; truly exceptional.
Thank you Kim for an unforgettable and most memorable trip of a life time.

An Absolute Lifesaver and the Trip of a Lifetime with Robewin Safaris!
After experiencing a devastating nightmare where we were defrauded by an unscrupulous Kenyan safari operator, Belinda Muriithi and Robewin Safaris literally came to our rescue. With a little over a month left before our scheduled departure, Belinda stepped in and completely saved our trip. From our very first interaction, she proved to be incredibly honest, dependable, knowledgeable, and exceptionally responsive. She was completely on top of every detail, turning our initial stress into a wonderful adventure.
Thanks to her flawless planning, my son and I had a private safari trip of a lifetime exploring the Maasai Mara, Hells Gate, Lake Naivasha, and Zanzibar. Despite it being the absolute peak season in the Maasai Mara, Belinda managed to pull off the impossible. She booked us wonderful accommodations at the Royal Zebra luxury lodge, which bordered the park. The location was spectacular—we could actually see giraffes, water buffalo, and zebras right from the pool!
Belinda organized a flawless itinerary packed with unforgettable, bucket-list experiences:
• Maasai Mara: A breathtaking hot air balloon ride over the Mara.
• Hells Gate: Hiking the canyons and visiting the iconic Lion King sights
• Lake Naivasha: A beautiful boat ride exploring the abundant wildlife
• Crescent Island: An incredible, up-close walking safari.
• Zanzibar: She even handled our post-safari beach extension, arranging comfortable flights and amazing snorkeling and swimming with turtles excursions!
The ground logistics were equally perfect. My son and I had a very comfortable, private safari vehicle entirely to ourselves. Our driver, Ian, was fantastic. He was an expert tracker who knew exactly where all the best animal sightings were, ensuring we saw an abundance of wildlife every single day.
If you are planning an African safari, look no further than Belinda Muriithi and Robewin Safaris. She is a professional of the highest integrity, and we cannot recommend her and her team highly enough!

Fantastic Safari in Tanzania – Highly Recommended!
We had an unforgettable 6-day Jeep safari in Tanzania! Everything was very well organized, communication via email was excellent, and all our questions were answered quickly. All transfers went smoothly, the different camps were very good, and the food was always delicious.
A special thank you to our driver, Lorenz, who did an outstanding job! He drove safely and always took us to the best spots and perfect positions to observe the wildlife. His experience and knowledge made our safari truly special!
Thank you for this amazing experience! We would book this safari again anytime and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Tanzania!

Wonderfully welcoming with exceptional guides and hospitality.
I was picked up by Fanuel and Collins at the Tanzanian border. They were early and waiting to welcome me to Tanzania. The car was clean and comfortable and there were thoughtful snacks and drinks as a refreshment for me.
Fanuel actually remedied a mistake of mine - I was supposed to arrive a day later according to his intinerary. He sprung to action and organised a driver and himself to come meet me at the border.
I was worried at a solo female traveller to be in a foreign, foreign continent, I really needn't have worried at all. They could not have been more hospitable and accommodating - dropping me off at my hotel to start my adventure.
Day 1 - A slight mishap with the trucks starter motor which meant that the first day Safari had to be postponed - however, Fanuel to the rescue again - he arranged for me to hike around the base of Killimanjaro the Mataneri waterfall and then make my own coffee!!!! That was something special. It was actually a happy accident that the van had technical problems - I got to see this amazing place.
Day 2 - The van had been fixed - so we were off to Tarangire! A place where the elephants dwell and the trees can live up to 3000 years - the baobab tree! In the afternoon, I was dropped off at my comfortable lodge, with hot water, a swimming pool and met my very own chef for the duration of my Safari - name David (aka D.V.D). He cooked me a beautiful meal - the soup was amazing and provided me with a wonderful meal - too much for me to even attempt to finish.
Side note - Tanzanians are feeders - you have been warned. 😅😅😆
Day 3 - Off to the Serengeti! We drove through a misty jungle type foilage with an amazing view of the Ngorogoro crater. Daudi, my guide was great fun and a careful driver - with a wealth of knowledge of the wildlife around him. We saw Cheetahs, Lions, Elephants, Ostriches, Secretary birds (which I kept accidently calling stationary birds), Hippos and omgosh - so much more. We arrived at our campsite - yes I was camping and what an amazing experience. I had my camp set up for me by D.V.D and my dinner perfectly prepared. I enjoyed watching the meerkats and the Maribu stalks in this wonderfully special place. In the morning we woke up to Giraffes grazing nearby. I don't know - camping was probably my favourite accommodation of the trip - I came for the nature, so getting as close to nature made sense to me.
Day 4 - Next stop, an early morning game drive to watch the sunrise and see the hot air balloons set off. Truly amazing - I'll donthe hot air balloons one day - hopefully with me mum. We saw the hippos lazing about. We had breakfast lovingly prepared by D.V.D and off we went again for our late morning game drive and ended up in Ngorogoro crater at my next campsite - which was honestly even better than the first - a screaming Hyrax in a tree, a zebra calf milking from its mothers teet, giraffes wondering out of the bush and the most magnificent sunset. Another [very] generous meal prepared by DVD and I was fast alseep in my comfortable tent.
Be warned - Ngorogoro highlands gets cold due to the altitude - I was taken by surprise but fortunately had packed well.
Day 5 - My final day 💔 We drove around the crater to see flamingos, Secretary birds, hippos and I was incredibly lucky to see a black rhino up very close - that was a very special sight.
Back to my accommodation for a laze in the pool and a rest, before saying goodbye to Daudi and DVD and my return trip home.
All in all, it was an amazing trip a once in a lifetime experience. Everything went smoothly, and if there were problems, they were dealt with and remedied.
I couldn't recommened them more.

Kwesa Tours is a professional, caring, and reliable local family-run company whose exceptional team
KILIMANJARO – MACHAME ROUTE! 🏔️
An absolutely unique and unforgettable experience!
The service provided by Kwesa Tours was excellent, from the friendliness and attentiveness of the entire staff to the organization of logistics and meals.
A very special mention goes to our guide, HAJI, an exceptional person who, with great professionalism, dedication and genuine warmth, guided and motivated us to achieve our ultimate goal: REACHING THE SUMMIT OF KILI!
However, this achievement was not the result of one person’s efforts alone, but of an entire expedition team: our assistant guide, cook, camp assistant and porters. Every one of them worked incredibly hard and showed us such kindness and willingness to help that they became an essential part of our summit success.
Each day began with a good breakfast and a new trekking stage ahead of us. Along the trail, we always had water provided by the team. Whenever we reached our destination, we found our camp already set up and our food waiting for us: delicious, varied meals that were completely unexpected at such high altitudes!
In the afternoons, we enjoyed tea and popcorn, and by 6 p.m., dinner was ready. After dinner, our guides would come by to review the day, check our health by measuring our oxygen saturation and pulse, and explain the next day’s stage and planned schedule. That was how each day came to an end, with everything organized so we could rest and recover our energy.
Beyond their professionalism, we really want to highlight the incredible human qualities of the entire team: their generosity, warmth and constant willingness to help. Choosing a local, family-run company also made the experience even more meaningful, as it was a small way of giving back for everything they gave us throughout this journey.
KWESA TOURS, THANK YOU SO MUCH!
We wholeheartedly recommend them! They didn’t just help us reach the summit of Kilimanjaro; they made the entire journey an unforgettable experience.
YOU MADE OUR DREAM COME TRUE! ❤️

Amazing! Enthusiastic and nice guide who spotted all the animals we wanted and more
My experience was amazing. I booked a three-day safari in the Masai Mara, and I was worried it wouldn’t be enough. However, my guide, Yasin, made sure we spotted all the animals we wanted to see. In less than two days, he showed us the Big Five (lion, leopard, elephant, rhino, and buffalo), which can be really hard to spot all together. We even saw two lions hunting.
We also saw lots of baby animals, which we absolutely loved, and two cheetahs: one pregnant and another with cubs. Apart from these incredible sightings, we saw plenty of hippos, crocodiles, giraffes, and, of course, Timon and Pumbaa haha
We were so lucky to see the animals just a few metres away, giving us amazing views of everything (although I would still recommend bringing binoculars). Yasin was also super respectful of the wildlife and never harassed the animals, which we really appreciated. He was incredibly supportive throughout the trip and always made sure we were doing well. We had to catch a flight on the last day, and he made sure we arrived at the airport on time. We really appreciated how thoughtful and helpful he was throughout the whole experience.
I went with my partner, but I think this safari is also perfect for solo travelers and families. We stayed at Wild Nest Camp, which was lovely too. The food was really good, but make sure to lock your tent during the day to prevent monkeys from sneaking in.
We felt like we were inside Disney’s The Lion King the entire time :)
