We Will Definitely Return To Tanzania - Our trip could not have been better. Rama had put everything together nicely into an amazing itinerary that took us Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater. Every aspect came together nicely from the timely transfers, excellent vehicle, amazing lodgings and Otto our guide was an amazing guide. He took us to the far flung corners of the parks where there few other vehicles, allowing us to enjoy the views without any commotion. We enjoyed seeing the elephants, lions, hyenas, jackals following the wildebeest in Northern Tanzania. We stayed in some amazing places like andBeyond Grumeti and Chem Chem in Manyara. They enhanced the overall safari experience and we loved is a lot.

Great Experience & Value For Money - This is truly the best holiday vacation of our lives. We are truly grateful to Rama for planning and hosting us on such a perfect trip. Everything about it was well planned with timely transfers, all the hotels and camps were booked as we expected. Thanks for the upgrade in Serengeti and Ngorongoro. We really enjoyed the deluxe comfort level. Osman was amazing as a guide and driver. He took excellent care and made sure that we were comfortable. He always consulted us while and was flexible to allow us leave out or include an activity that we spontenously wanted, like the stops for curios, meeting friends over dinner at George's in Arusha on our last evening. The game drives were spectacular and we always found that Rama had made all the required arrangements to ensure that we got in the parks smoothly. Similar preparedness and attention was repeated at the lodges and every other juncture in the trip. Overall this trip was great value for money for the level of comfort and luxury through out the trip.

An outstanding Safari in Tanzania - I had a very nice vacation with my husband in Tanzania with Gecko Tanzania. We had a very good safari guide Endrick guiding our tour to the parks - Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro. He knew how and where to spot the wildlife. With his expertise we saw so many animals, ranging from lions, buffaloes, elephants, hyenas, cheetahs, rhinos, vulture and thousands of wildebeest to name but a few. He answered all our questions with detailed explanations and also shared a lot of stories from his past experiences. He made sure that the 4x4 vehicle was clean, and well stocked with water and snacks. He had a complete safari travelling kit that had a table and seats, and would set them up at the picnic spots. The daily experience in the parks is something that we enjoyed extensively, getting so close with nature was both thrilling and fun! Sleeping under canvas in the open parks was exciting too. I am happy with the overall experience from Gecko Tanzania. It is second to none

Amazing safari trip - Our trip was fantastic and a once in a lifetime experience watching the wildebeest calving in Ndutu. We had a great guide, Musa, who spoke fluent English and German. Very knowledgeable about the animals, plants and the entire Ngorongoro/Serengeti ecosystem. He answered all our questions. In addition, he is an excellent driver who masters the 4x4 off-road. The stay in the lodges was great, they were perfect for relaxing after the game drives.

Perfect Safari with Gecko - We had an amazing safari in Tanzania with Gecko Adventure Tanzania. We had an incredible guide Musa who was an incredible companion through out the trip. We visited Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater with him and he took us to all the lovely sections. He showed us great sights and led us to unforgetable encounters with elephants, lions, cheetahs among other animals. Accommodations were also nice and well planned along the trip circuit that we did not have to go far. We will definitely use Gecko for another trip.

We had a lovely trip - We went through a smooth booking process with Rama. Our guide was the best, exceptional at finding animals before we did. The game drives to Tarangire, Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro were well planned and interesting. He told us so much about the animals and also gave us enough time to see them. He taught us to be respectful to the animals. We saw lots of different animals.

The best safari experience - The trip with Gecko Adventure Tanzania was outstanding. We started communicating with Rama back in February, he took the time to understand what we were looking for, and then created a personalized itinerary with all the activities that we wanted. Our guide Musa was knowledgeable, very experienced and quite flexible to include our suggestions. Musa freely answered questions and taught us so much about Tanzania. We saw all the animals that we had hoped to see many times over. He has very good eyes and was able to find animals where we could hardly see any. He gave us our only encounter with a leopard. I highly appreciate Gecko Adventure Tanzania for an excellent safari experience.

Amazing Safari and Zanzibar - Last week we spent eight days on an amazing trip. Rama organized a 5 day trip to Ngorongoro Crater, Lake Manyara and Serengeti. We saw many different animals in the parks. The highlight was the wildebeest migration. We then flew to Zanzibar for 3 days which was fantastic. I can recommend Gecko Adventure Tanzania to anyone thinking about Tanzania. They are incredible.

Amazing safari experience - We finally did our four day safari in Tanzania with Gecko Aventure Tanzania. The whole experience was amazing and totally worth the time and money. Rama's attention to detail made sure that we had everything that was needed with us, a swanky new Landcruiser and the best guide. Julius out did himself on tour. We had the most amazing game drives at all the parks. I highly recommend Gecko Adventure Tanzania
