Absolutely Unforgettable Safari Experience with Brilliant Safaris! (Tuma as guide)
My girlfriend and I recently returned from a 6-day safari in Tanzania followed by a 4-day beach stay in Zanzibar, and we can confidently say that choosing Brilliant Safaris was one of the best travel decisions we’ve ever made. It was our very first safari, so we were completely new to the experience and knew we’d be relying heavily on our guide and we truly couldn’t have asked for anyone better than our guide, Tuma. Additionally, Lightness, who handled all our booking and administrative arrangements, was an absolute star - she guided us through every step of the process with professionalism and warmth, was very responsive to our questions (average 1-day response time) and made planning, payment and logistics stress free.
From the moment we met them, they made us feel like family. Tuma was warm, friendly, and instantly put us at ease. By day one, it already felt like we were travelling with an old friend — one who had an encyclopaedic knowledge of wildlife, landscapes, and Tanzanian culture. Whether it was identifying birds in the distance, explaining animal behaviour, or sharing fascinating stories about local traditions, every moment with him was both fun and educational.
We booked The Great Migration package, and thanks to Tuma’s exceptional timing and navigation skills, we managed to witness hordes of Wildebeests embark on two river crossings in just three days, both from incredible, up-close vantage points. On top of that, we saw the Big Five and practically all the must-see animals by our second day.
As a keen photographer, I was especially grateful for how Tuma tailored the trip around my desire to capture great wildlife shots. He positioned the vehicle perfectly for lighting, patiently waited for the right moments, and always went above and beyond to ensure I got the best possible photographs.
The entire experience was seamless — from the comfortable accommodations and delicious meals to the perfectly planned itinerary that balanced adventure and relaxation. Brilliant Safaris truly lived up to its name in every sense, delivering a once-in-a-lifetime experience that exceeded all expectations.
We wholeheartedly recommend Brilliant Safaris to anyone considering a safari in Tanzania. Whether it’s your first or your tenth, you’ll be in the best possible hands — and if you’re lucky enough to have Tuma as your guide, prepare for an unforgettable adventure filled with breathtaking moments, expert insight, and genuine Tanzanian warmth.

A wonderful experience
Our 6 days with Viva Safaris were exceptional. They picked up us in Johannesburg, and we stayed at Tremisana Lodge, which is very welcoming. The room was simple but had everything we needed. The meals prepared by the women at the lodge were always good ( and sometimes an elephant would show up at breakfast to keep us company).
Of course, the most important part were the game drives. We really appreciated the variety of drives experiences offered, some at sunrise, others at sunset, and full day safaris in Kruger Park. The walking safari with guides Luke and Whian was also wonderful.
Mark has great knowledge of the area and explains everything in an exceptional way. A special thank you goes to our guide Smiley, who was absolutely phenomenal.
My partner and I have wonderful memories of the six days we spent with them, and we highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting South Africa.

Beautiful nature and great organisation
Our 6-day safari was truly amazing! Seven Wonders Safaris organized everything very well. Starting the journey from Arusha I was fascinated to see the green forest of Tarangire and the herd of elephants.
It was a great experience to see lions, rhinos and other animals in Ngorongoro Crater. And Serengeti is the best part of the whole trip - huge fields, beautiful sunsets and a variety of wildlife.
Our guide was a good man, always helpful. All in all, it was a very enjoyable and enjoyable trip!
