It started in Africa
A family trip to Serengeti for a week in August 2022 gave us an opportunity to not only see the absolutely amazing Serengeti but also enjoy the hospitality of the people of Tanzania. Smiles and Jambo (hello) greet you everywhere. People seem to be happy with simple things. Food is excellent. Prices are moderate. We had booked everything in advance. This seems to be a good idea for people travelling on a timeline.
Tanzania is a country that I look forward to visiting again.

A dream place that we will never forget.
My family and I went to Tanzania for a safari organized by Shemeji Safari. Perfect organization thanks to which we were able to visit the Parks of Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro. We have seen so many animals in their natural environment, which is truly wonderful. The lodges where we stayed were also very beautiful. The trip was absolutely safe, we never had any kind of problem. We also did the extension to Zanzibar, indescribable for its beauty. Certainly one of the most beautiful trips of our life.

Great wildlife and great people
We visited Nyerere national park. It is beautiful with a lot of lakes where you can find hippo’s and crocodiles, multiple birds and a great sunset. De game drive was great with private guide and driver.
Also a very comfort flight from and to Zanzibar. Very friendly and helpful people in Tanzania.

great experience of a great country
Okay, this is Africa…and that means a certain level of discomfort, and some uncertainty, is a given. Dust, bad roads, bland food, bottled water only. Driving times are always underestimated. That said, Uganda is beautiful. The wildlife and birds are amazing. Epic has great guides who do their best to accommodate the needs and wishes of their guests, and who know the country and wildlife well. At the most popular locations (Gorillas, chimps, etc.) you are in the hands of local guides and rangers who are also first rate. Overall an excellent and authentic African and Ugandan experience! Recommended.

Lord of caring
We did the summit of Kilimanjaro with Husain and safari with Godlistern mathew.
Anytime I requested anything the team figured it out. Not just me but my 12 year old summit killimajaro on a 5 day route . That should be evidence of care.
The safari was also an amazing experience with talented guided tour

Amazing safari tour (4 days 3 nights)
We had an amazing safari journey with Rocky, who is a very interesting and funny guide. This 4 days 3 nights safari trip was beyond our expectations. We saw dozens of animals (including 4 out of 5 of the big fives), on the most beautiful parks near Arusha. The food was excellent (thanks to Tito our cooker during these 4 days), the accommodations were clean and comfortable, and our guide was more than excellent! I strongly recommend Suricata 100% !

Amazing safari with Suricata
We booked the 4-day safari to Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Tarangire with 3 nights in tents. Our guide was Rocky and he was the best we could have: nice, funny, very experienced, he knows everything you want to know about Tanzanian wildlife and culture. He was always trying to please us and this made the journey memorable. The food by our cook Tito was amazing too, one of the best food we have had in Tanzania so far. He was also adorable and nice. The safari in itself did not disappoint, the landscapes and animals were mind blowing. We would recommend 100% going with Suricata. And if you do, ask for Rocky and Tito, you won’t be disappointed !

Unforgettable Tanzania Safari
My wife, son and I had the experience of a lifetime with Gilmag Safaris during our fifteen-day tour of Arusha, Tarangire, Manyara, Ngorongoro, Serengeti and Zanzibar. All correspondence before, during, and after our tour was timely, personal and professional.
Every moment; from my first email, to my constant, "what if we did this", to even the ‘I HOPE YOU LANDED SAFELY BACK HOME’ ... this level of caring only comes from people who love their country and love to make sure everyone who comes there has the time of their lives.. Mary worked with us to tailor the tour and it was wonderful.
Nickson was the crown jewel of the tour—polite, incredibly informative, very intelligent and friendly in his conversation and explanations; helpful beyond any reasonable expectation. He met us at the Kilimanjaro International airport with a big smile which never left. He is also an excellent driver. The accommodations chosen by Gilmag Safaris were wonderful; beautiful facilities, hospitable and excellent staffs. We’ll always remember the tour with fondness and we’ll never forget our guide, Nickson.
Without Gilmag’s precise planning, time management, connections, and passion for Tanzania, we would have missed many learning opportunities. By the end of our adventure, we had fallen in love with the people, food, music and beauty of Tanzania and Zanzibar
Thank you Gilmag Safaris for being a part of our blessed journey!!

Very professional and flexibel organisation
After we send a message with our wishes for a safari we had contact through Whatsapp and it was very easy to book what we wanted. Questions were answered immidiatley. We wanted to be picked up somewhere for the safari and that was no problem. We had a great safari for a good price. Our guide, Simba, was the best you can get. He knew all the answers to our questions and had a good eye for details. The accomodations and food were great, It was a great experience.

Amazing adventure!
Amazing adventure!
First of all to thank Vanessa and for the extraordinary planning of the Safari. Charles, our guide was fabulous during the 7 days we were together. A professional and wonderful person who with his calm and experience gave us unique moments. My children are still talking about him after our return :)
The hotels were fantastic (Mara Bush Camp, Tawi and The Cliff) with a friendly and always present staff.
It was the best family holiday we have ever had and I wish to return for another adventure with Spirit of Kenya!
