A Time was had
We had a great time on our trip! From planning to arrival and all the time in between Raymond was great! He was very patient with me with all one questions worries and concerns. Found red year of planning whenever we needed he jumped on a call with us and talked us through whatever the questions were.min the safari he was very knowledgeable about the animals and the areas. He made sure we was able to see 4 out of the big 5 and took us around till the very end. He also helped coordinate some of our activities and drivers in Zanzibar! If we go on a Safari again it will definitely be with Raymond and his team!

Perfect safari & more
We had an incredible three-week experience in Tanzania and Rwanda, including safaris in the Southern Circuit, monkey and gorilla trekking, a retreat on the shores of Lake Kivu, and finally, a relaxing stay in Zanzibar. Everything was arranged and booked by Gorille Africain Tours (GAT).
I can only say that everything was perfect! The itinerary was exciting and varied, and the entire trip was executed smoothly and flawlessly. Behind it all was the warmhearted GAT team, always responsive and ready to help with any questions or concerns.
We feel very fortunate to have found a tour operator that combines outstanding logistical planning with such genuine personal care. Without a doubt, we’ll choose GAT again for our next adventure!

Reliable operator with amazing guide (Gerald)
Loved our safari with Gerald! He made sure to tend to our needs, gave us a lot of time to observe the animals and took the time to share his knowledge with us which was amazing. We did the 5-day-tour including Lake Manyara which I particularly liked since it's a very green national park.
The accommodations were totally fine (we did the more low budget tour with camping for $1000) but don't expect a lot of luxury or anything. The tents were very good quality and spacious enough for two people.
Overall great value for money!
Our group was great too, all similar of age in their 20s to 30s.

Good organization, good communication
Eliad helped me and gave me the best package for a 4-day safari. Solving all my doubts and looking for the best offer for my budget.
Our guide Joseph was very patient with us, he showed us everything we wanted to see and took us some spectacular photos.
The hotels where we stayed were very nice and clean with very kind staff.
Totally recommended

A Once-in-a-Lifetime Safari Experience – Absolutely Unforgettable! 🦁🐘
We have just returned from the most incredible 3-day, 2-night safari in Tanzania with Serengeti Silence, and we honestly cannot recommend this experience enough!
From start to finish, everything was absolutely fantastic, but what truly made our trip so special was our wonderful driver and guide, Sanare!
Sanare collected us from our starting point and took us on an unforgettable adventure through the Serengeti and Ngorongoro. Along the way, we enjoyed plenty of stops, lovely conversations and fascinating information about Tanzania, its wildlife and local culture. His knowledge was incredible, and we learned so much throughout our journey. He was also extremely friendly, patient and flexible. Whenever we wanted to stop for photographs, admire the scenery or simply take in the moment, nothing was ever too much trouble.
One of the biggest highlights of our trip was being lucky enough to see all of the Big Five! 🦁🐘🦏🐆🐃 This was something we had always dreamed of experiencing, and it certainly did not disappoint!
Sanare was extremely professional and clearly very experienced. He knew exactly how to approach the wildlife safely and respectfully, while still allowing us to get as close as possible for the most incredible views and photographs. We felt completely safe and comfortable in his hands throughout the entire trip.
The accommodation was equally wonderful! We spent one night camping in the heart of the Serengeti and another night at beautiful accommodation approximately an hour outside Ngorongoro National Park. Both places exceeded our expectations and made the entire experience even more memorable.
Everything was so well organised, with delicious lunches provided during our safari days and plenty of bottled water available whenever we needed it. All the little details were taken care of, allowing us to completely relax and enjoy every moment.
This truly was a once-in-a-lifetime experience for us, and we have made memories that we will treasure forever. While seeing the incredible wildlife and breathtaking landscapes was amazing, it was Sanare who really made this trip unforgettable. His kindness, enthusiasm, knowledge and genuine passion for what he does made such a difference.
We cannot thank Sanare and Serengeti Silence enough for such a wonderful adventure. We have already been telling our friends and family about it and would recommend this experience to anyone visiting Tanzania.
If you are considering booking a safari, do it! And if you are lucky enough to have Sanare as your guide, you are in for an incredible experience!
Thank you again for the most magical three days. We will never forget it! ❤️🇹🇿

Gerald was a very great guide always sharing his knowledge and provided us the best experience
We did a 5 day tour (Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro) and stayed at the campsites. It was definitely worth the money, because our guide Gerald was amazing and we saw basically everything, we got very lucky.
Another group had not such a good guide though, so it might vary a bit, just ask for Gerald :P
You'll drive a lot of time, so consider taking the 6 day tour to Serengeti if you want to take it a bit slower, for me 5 was perfect though.
Also consider those are real campsites and you sleep in tents on simple matresses. If that's fine for you save on the money for the lodges, otherwise strongly consider them. In the end the markup for the safaris will basically only give you better accommodations and maybe food. The experience of the game watch will always be the same, no matter the price.

Gerald was amazing very knowledgeable about all animals and made sure we saw as much as possible
This safari was amazing! Definitely a once in a lifetime experience. I did the camping 5 day safari. Camping whilst the animals were just walking around was so cool definitely think camping was a different and in my opinion better than staying at the lodges. Being able to see the animals in their natural habitat and see their behaviours was amazing. The environment and animals was so beautiful. Our guide definitely made the experience better. Gerald made sure that we saw as much as possible and prioritised the things we hadn’t seen yet. He was able to answer every question and also had information to share about each animal seen. All food was delicious as well and plenty of it.

Incredible experience!! Very good safari
Such an incredible safari, our guide Gerald was so experienced and knowledgable, and I have no idea how he managed to spot so many animals whilst driving! He was very good at predicting their movements, driving around the other cars to get us the best views, and answering all our questions. The food was delicious and there was plenty of it! Proper hot lunches whilst other tour operators/groups had sandwiches. We stayed in the camping option and it was some of the nicest camping I've done! I only wish it could have been longer. Gerald was genuinely the best guide we could have asked for, and he felt like a lucky charm with all the animals and encounters we experienced! There could have been slightly better communication prior to starting the tour, but once you reach out they are prompt replying and giving you all the info you need.
