Super excellent holidays with Gilmag Safaris
The four of us just had an wonderful holiday with Gilmag Safaris this February. My friend first made contact with their Chinese agent Felix, and he was helpful from the start. We had a bit of trouble booking hotels at first but he was persistant and found us really nice stays. He almost contacted us everyday during our visit to make sure everything went well. Especially when our connecting flight from Da res Salam was changed from landing in Kilimanjaro International Airport instead of Arusha Airport, he quickly arranged our driver to pick us up so we didn't have a messed-up start.
We went to Tarangire, Ndutu, Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Crater. Our guide Steve was abosultly amazing, sharp-eyed and an exceptionally good driver. We enjoyed our time with him and so lucky that he lead us to see the leopard from day 1, and the Big Five eventually. He was chatty, friendy and had a funny sense of humour that made our days.
It was an unforgettable trip, everyday was unbelievably perfect. We've seen so many animals, not only the big cats, but colourful birds, eelands, dik-diks, and serval--basically everything we wished to see. It was like a dream come true when we actually experienced the scenary from the documentaries. I'm sure we will be back soon since there are so much we haven't seen, and finally a big thanks to Gilmag Safaris who guaranteed our wonderful trip!!!

Far exceeded expectations! Winnie was my contact person, and she was incredibly diligent and responsible. She would start replying to my messages as early as 6 a.m. local time every day. She answered every question I had—unlike some people who only respond to a few selectively when asked multiple questions, Winnie always gave very clear answers. When we made some adjustments during our trip, she actively helped us modify the plans and promptly checked in on how our travel experience was going.
Our guide and driver, Simon, is more introverted and doesn't talk much, but his service was exceptionally proactive and efficient. He showed us an incredible number of animals. On the second day alone, he took us to witness a lion hunting a buffalo from start to finish, and we were the only vehicle on-site to see the entire process. On the third day, as we waited to observe cheetahs hunting, Simon predicted where the cheetah would go and maneuvered our vehicle ahead of dozens of others to give us the best view. Simon taught himself Chinese and has pretty good pronunciation with accurate tones; he would tell us the Chinese names of the animals and even knew whether they were male or female. He also took us to buy Coke at a price half of what the hotel charged. Every time we loaded our luggage onto the vehicle, he would cover it with a cloth to protect it from dust. If the windows got dirty the day before, the vehicle would be spotless again when he picked us up the next morning. There were so many more such details. I believe Simon is an impeccable guide and driver—all of us thought he was absolutely fantastic with no faults whatsoever. Before leaving, I even gave Simon my copy of the East African Animal Guide.

Beautiful Uganda
Aggrey Sympathy organized a wonderful 10-day tour of Uganda for us. We traveled long distances in a comfortable jeep for our gorilla treks, walking safaris, and boat trips. Our 5-year-old had a blast. Aggrey is always available and available, even outside of the tour—a true asset. Highly recommended.

We especially appreciated the thoughtful touches, clear communication, well-prepared logistics and the ability to adapt seamlessly when we wanted to linger longer at a sighting.

Very professional and knowledgeable
The whole experience of the safari was amazing from the beginning until the end.
Joseph the Rasta was an amazing tour host, kind, funny and knowledgeable.
We saw all the animals we wanted in a very close distance and even cheetahs and leopards which were the most difficult to find.
The tour is well organised and value of money without a doubt.

Painful yet joyful
The 7-day 6-night safari was both painful and joyful. The airport strike caused flight cancellations, the only bridge in the Masai Mara hotel complex was flooded, the car broke down on the way to chase lions, and the worry of being bitten by mosquitoes. The mood was like a roller coaster. Fortunately, everything was eventually resolved. Kenya is destined to be a special and crazy travel destination. It is precisely because of so many uncertainties that this journey is still so memorable on the way back to the airport.
Thanks Geeman, for the company and dedication throughout the journey. On the last day, led us to get an extremely close look at the leopard, one of the Big Five that is the hardest to spot, completing the collection of the African Big Five!
China's railway ventures into Kenya, imperfect yet perfect. See you Kenya if fate allows.
