Highlights

Lake Manyara National Park - After a short briefing in the morning, you set off to the Lake Manyara National Park. The small park stretches along the 600 m high Rift Valley Escarpment and is dominated by the alkaline Lake Manyara. It is here where thousands of flamingos seem to colour the shallow waters pink. Many water birds gather at the lake and more than 400 bird species are found in the park. The diverse vegetation provides a habitat for many animals such as monkeys in the forest, giraffes and antelopes on the grasslands and elephants around the acacia trees. If you are very lucky you might also see the Manyara lions, lounging in the trees.

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

Beautiful Safari Will Be Cherished For Eternity - Gecko Adventure Tanzania provided such an awesome experience all through the safari. With safari guide Alex we were able to sit back and enjoy the ride into the parks action spots where we found a lot of wildlife. There were lots of animals in Lake Manyara, but Serengeti was the showstopper. We saw the wildebeest migration, many lions, buffaloes, zebras, giraffes, kudu, hyenas, jackals, vultures, hippos, and so many other animals, including more than 100 birds species. We loved the lodgings and the food we were served. It was one great safari that we will cherish for a long time

Best Experience for My Husband and I - Everything about this trip was much better than we expected. We were booked in very exotic lodges right within the parks where the wild game roamed and luxurious to very high standards. We had guide Moses driving/guiding us through Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro. He drove a vehicle in great condition taking us comfortably to all the corners that we wanted to get to. There were so many animals in the parks and Moses knew where to find them. His passion for conservation and love for his country as he expertly navigated to them, teaching us so much about Tanzania. I am very happy with Rama the director because he fulfilled his promise of an amazing trip.
