Well chosen itinerary and lodges
Organizer open to customization and cost optimization. Everything went smoothly from arrival to departure. Lodges chosen (Farm of Dreams, Ngorongoro Widelife and Tanzana Bush Caps) were particularly spectacular and in best locations.

Reliable, professional, friendly tour operator
My two parents, boyfriend and my two younger children (ages 7 and 5) enjoyed a eight night northern Tanzania circuit tour in June 2021 and it was absolutely incredible. All of our three lodges and one glamping type camp were over the top luxurious. (Think infinity pool overlooking the open Serengeti.. Wow!)
The owner, Vincent, responded to my emails immediately throughout the entire planning phase and also while we were on safari. I wanted to add another night to the beginning of our trip and it was no problem at all. Vincent also made all the arrangements for our COVID tests needed to fly out at the end of our trip.
Peter was our guide and driver for the entire trip and was fantastic. He was a very experienced guide and knew so much. Also, he was great with my children and my elderly parents. Not only did he know about every single animal, but he knew his birds, which was perfect because my father is an avid bird watcher. Vincent and his company is a newer safari group but don’t be fooled because they know exactly what they are doing and are super professional and helped us at every turn. I learned with all my other safari company quotes that even the more expensive safari groups use the exact same lodging places and the same 4 x 4 Jeeps, but were quoted unreasonably higher. I highly recommend Vincent and Vimat.

Outstanding! Exceptionally knowledgeable, passionate and very considerate of his guests.
A very easy booking experience. The trip was expertly planned by Native Africa Trails with our bespoke needs taken into consideration. Incredibly enjoyable from start to finish. Safari vehicle very clean and well maintained. Hotel super. Maasai Mara beautiful. All in all one of the highlights of our time in Kenya.

Amazing experience and enjoyable adventure!
My boyfriend and I have always wanted to tour Africa and after a long search we decided to go to Uganda. I am so glad we entrusted Maraka Tours and Safaris with our vacation! The staff was amazing and the company handled all bookings to all the places we went to. We were received at the airport by kind staff, the car was very clean and comfortable with bottled water! We had the 15 day package to tour western Uganda and out tour guide was knowledgeable. We explored Murchison falls national park, had a boat cruise and were entertained with different African dances and foods. We saw how the Batwa live in the forests, beautiful scenery, fresh air and so many delicious fresh fruits. Our favorite times were the early morning game drives to see the animals. All accomodation, meals for the day and bottled water were included at pocket friendly prices considering other companies we searched under. I cannot appreciate Maraka Tours and Safaris enough for making our first ever trip to Africa memorable!

I would do it again and again with Gilmag Safaris – they are the best
My wife and I booked a 14 days safari to Tanzania. Mary was great about letting us know all of the expectations for travel, as COVID has changed the rules so we were prepared in advance. The booking process was easy and staff always ready to adapt themselves and offer the best experience. Payment terms were very flexible; 30% (refundable in case of cancellation) payable on confirmation and the balance payable a few days to arrival day.
On arrival at the airport, we were warmly welcome by Gilbert; in a well polished safari jeep. Our adventure included day trek to Kilimanjaro Mountain, visits to Tarangire, Manyara, Ngorongoro, Serengeti and a honeymoon beach holiday in Zanzibar. We couldn’t pick a favourite out of these places as they were all so spectacular.
We both have a return trip to Africa heading our bucket lists, to include another experience with Gilmag Safaris. We would 100% recommend anyone to book via Gilmag Safaris. A big thank you to Mary, Gilbert and the team.

Grassrootz adventures Uganda!!! One word Fantastic!!
This is our second time with Grassrootz adventures Uganda.
Everything is so perfectly arranged.

That spotting wildlife is much better then you will do it yourself.
All the accommodations were good selected ass we wished for.

4x4 rental for self drive safari
We rented two vehicles from Gladiola. We recommend them 100%. We have changed our plans several times, but they have always been very reactive and accommodating. Vehicles in good condition. We compared with several rental agencies in Arusha, we are very happy with our choice.
