Totally worth your money, they know so much about the animals and they take very good care of us
Had the best experience ever! Our cook was amazing, our driver Isaya who drove us from Moshi to Arusha was so kind and David was the best guide! We really saw a lot of animals and David knew so much about everything. The communication also went really well! Especially for this price

Excellent Safari Tour Operator
Gilmag Safaris – Amazing Trip in Tanzania
What an amazing experience this trip was! I have been wanting to do this for a while and a work trip to Tanzania gave me that kick to finally do it. Me being a planner, I researched a lot of tour companies and Gilmag Safaris received overwhelming positive feedback. Everything was very thoughtfully planned, from pick-up time and what to expect through on arrival, to sleeping accommodations, dining, etc.
Nickson, our tour guide while in Tanzania, was fantastic. He was so knowledgeable and was very patient with us and the hundreds of questions that were asked. During the tours he gave us plenty of time to explore the local markets, Tanzanite Experience, which was greatly appreciated. From a scale of 1 to 10, the trip itself was a 10, but Nickson made it a 15!
Over the course of our 8 days trip, with his wit, wisdom, encyclopedic knowledge, care, compassion, and sense of humor, Nickson became family. If you are fortunate enough to get Nickson as your guide, you are in for a special treat.
In Serengeti, I would highly recommend staying at Tanzania Pure Tented Camp and not a hotel. It is set in a beautiful location and the tents are very comfortable and showers are more than adequate.
I would definitely recommend Gilmag Safaris, and thank you, Nickson, for sharing your amazing country with us!

Professional company the caters for your needs.
We trekked Mt Kilimanjaro on the 7 day Machame route. The guides were very experienced and professional in their job. The food was excellent and the porters were happy, extremely polite and respectful at all times. The trek itinerary was very manageable even if you are a little out of shape. There were no problems at all with food, equipment and staff. All in all a fantastic experience and if I were to repeat it , it would be with Leken Adventure. They provide great value for money and are competitively priced within this field.

You can't find better than them to organise tours.
First I like the time that Mr fadhili spent to explain every thing about safari packages for us. Then their services was as well as good and very friendly personal. I'm very happy that found Hola Africa to arrange our safari.

Amazing experience
Amazing experience!!!
Fully satisfied with the tour and accommodation at Lenchada. Robert is a fantastic guide and provided lots of information about the animals.
As a solo woman, I had a great experience and felt safe and happy doing a safari joining group. Highly recommend!

Amazing company who will go above and beyond
I would highly recommend this company!
Pre-covid we had started to plan our safari with George but sadly due to the pandemic we had to rearrange multiple times.
Initially we had planned a tour of Kenya and Tanzania, finishing in Zanzibar but because of the unknown covid situation in Tanzania we decided to change our plans to just Kenya finishing in Diani Beach.
George was incredibly helpful at suggesting alternatives based on what we wanted to see/experience and then organising our new itinerary.
The website has some suggested safari plans but they will alter any parts around your personal preferences.
Even after rearranging 3 times, George stuck with our original price range.
Prices are very reasonable and I was much happier booking with a local company rather than going through an UK/European company where most of the money would not have made it to Kenya!
When we finally set off on our trip sadly 2 of the family group had to fly home for health reasons. George and his team were incredibly helpful organising their return flights, extra nights at the hotel in Nairobi and transfer back to the airport.
Eventually we set off on our safari, only 2 years delayed! We started with a day in Nairobi at the Giraffe centre and elephant orphanage, afternoon relaxing at the hotel followed by dinner at the Carnivore restaurant.
We then travelled to Masai Mara, Lake Naivasha, Ol Pejeta, Aberdare, Amboseli, Tsavo West and East then finished in Diani for 5 nights of all inclusive at the beach resort.
Our driver, Ken, was brilliant! So informative about all the animals and he must have super human eye sight as he could spot a leopard a mile off!
We decided to upgrade to the Jeep for our trip and we are so glad we did. A lot of the roads are very bad! Especially in Masai Mara. They call it the African massage but at times it was like wip lash! It's definitely worth having the Jeep for comfort over some of the trickier terrain.
If you're wanting a personalised safari in Kenya, this is the company. I felt like there was nothing they wouldn't do to help us.
Everyone is so friendly and helpful.
Thanks again George, Ken and the whole Right Choice Team!

Just spectacular!!
I Spend with my friend ( group of 10) 3 amazing days in Serengeti and Ngorongoro national reserved . It was a really spectacular experience.
The team of Suricata safari are incredible. They take you from the airport to your hotel and bring you back safely in really nice lodge in Arusha.
Now speaking about the safari, the two guides ( Fred and James) was really kind funny , and safe in there driving. They make us discover the best spot during the 3 day. And we saw all of the animals very close ( Lion/ Elephant/ giraffe). The Meals was very good every day , a real meal in the middle of nowhere. It’s was really amazing.
And finally we slept in two beautiful places:
The first night we slept in the middle of the savanna in some huge Tent
