Amazing, best safari yet!
Firstly our trip was really made by our wonderful guide ‘Goodluck’ he really made a trip so so special and couldn’t recommend him enough!
The safari could not have been better with every animal we wanted to see making an appearance. Our accommodation was superb and once again our guide made the trip for us. Thank you very much!

Unforgettable and top-quality journey
We had the pleasure of having Goodluck as our driver and guide throughout our trip in Tanzania, and we couldn’t have asked for a better person to accompany us on this journey.
Goodluck went above and beyond to meet all our wishes and needs. He always made sure we were comfortable and happy, and he showed great flexibility whenever we had specific requests. His knowledge about the country, its culture, and especially the wildlife we encountered was truly impressive. Thanks to his explanations, every sighting became even more special and meaningful.
On top of that, Goodluck is a genuinely kind and pleasant person who truly wants the best for his guests. You can clearly see that he is passionate about his work and dedicated to giving everyone the best possible experience.
If you are planning a trip to Tanzania, we wholeheartedly recommend Goodluck. He will do everything he can to make sure you have an unforgettable and top-quality journey.

We were very lucky to have “Good Luck” our guide during our first trip in Tanzania. We do recommend him a lot !
We took 2 full-safari- days and it was a great choice. The hotel, the service, communication - everything made our stay one of a kind !
Thank you Good luck!

Professional, and excellent organisation
I cannot speak highly enough of our guide Goodluck, everything from the first moment was perfectly organised. I dont know how he was able to drive, give information and spot animals at the same time. He is an experienced driver and always made sure we got the best spot when seeing animals. He was always on time, the jeep was always spotless clean and we had no issues during the tour. Goodluck is very knowledgeable of animals, especially birds, and we learnt a lot from him. We were a group of 13, and extremely happy with the way the tour went. Cannot recommend these guys enough.

An unforgettable Tanzania Safari! The guide Goodluck is unparalleled and Casey's service is amazing!
I have returned from Tanzania and I have to give a shout out to this awesome travel agency! We had a seven-day, six-night Safari in Serengeti and Ngorongoro in June and it was awesome!
First of all, I want to give a shout out to our guide, Goodluck! As his name suggests, he really brought us a lot of good luck! Goodluck is super polite and experienced, he is like a walking encyclopedia! Along the way, he did his best to meet all our needs and took us to find any animals we wanted to see. Occasionally, if we encountered some minor problems on the road, he could solve them quickly.
We still had a lot of fun on this Safari, including leopards, cheetahs, lions, various antelopes, super imposing elephants, giraffes, and very spectacular wildebeests! The food and accommodation were also very good, and the conditions were much better than we expected!
Overall, this travel agency is still very responsible. We didn't have the situation we were afraid of, where their attitude changed drastically after receiving the money. The service was very good from beginning to end. Especially their employee Casey, who is really dedicated and responsible. We sent her messages to ask any questions before and during the trip, no matter how big or small, and she would patiently answer them. If the boss sees this, I sincerely suggest giving Casey a raise hahaha!
In short, we were very happy and satisfied with this trip. Goodluck's professionalism and enthusiasm, plus Casey's thoughtful and considerate support in the back, and the company's overall reliability and responsibility, made this Safari a perfect adventure! Highly recommended to friends who want to go to Tanzania to see animals, choose Goodluck as a guide, you will not be disappointed!

Well organized, great communication, great flexibility, safe and informative
Basics:
4 people, 11 day/10 night, mid-level, Toyota Land Cruiser, private, cost=below average for same accommodations and itinerary
Itinerary:
Nairobi to Arusha, through Amboseli, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha, Masai Mara, Lake Victoria, Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, Lake Manyara, Tarangire
Tour company:
From the early stages, I worked with George Killas to build what we thought was the most ideal itinerary. He was very flexible, and patient with our many requests and questions. He was able to help meet our budget, and yet ensure we are comfortable on the trip. For anybody new to a safari, I do want to strongly encourage trying to book a guide that uses a 4x4 Land Cruiser. You will be thankful!
Because we went to both Kenya and Tanzania, we actually had two different tour guides/companies with a hand-off at the border. George handled these logistics with a partnering firm from Kenya. This can obviously have advantages and disadvantages, but it was seamless for us as the client.
Mid-level lodging was actually really great. All the places we stayed at were clean, safe, and beautiful. The two camps inside Masai Mara, and Serengeti were less luxurious (still very nice), but these are also the most expensive since they are inside the parks. The food everywhere was included, either through the hotels, or funded by Terrain Tanzania, and all of it was really good. Cold drinks were always available in the car, which was very welcome.
Both tour guides we had were very good: (Dminick in Kenya & Benjamin in Tanzania). They both listened to our requests and interests of animals we wanted to see, they adopted their itinerary, and they were knowledgeable about the animals, the culture, & the landscape. We really appreciated it when they would talk to other drivers as we drove by or use the radio to get information about where to find some of the more unique animals. We appreciated the guides making the most of our safari, by starting the day early and ending late, by searching for animals, and by visiting points of interest. These are long days for them, and they always maintained a positive and professional attitude.
Overall, our experience was amazing! We did not expect to see as many animals as we did! Of course wildlife spotting is very luck dependent, and no tour guide or tour company should ever be held responsible for your luck. That being said, we were very happy with everything that Terrain Tanzania Safaris organized. There are many companies out there, and it can be hard to compare them, but I would strongly recommend anybody to George's company.

Personal service, terrific safari company!
Wonderful experience with Terrain Safaris Tanzania, its owner George Killas, and my guide Omar. I had only a couple of days at the end of a working trip to Dar Es Salaam and George organized a terrific private safari in Tarangire NP and Ngorongoro Crater - even though it was rain season (not that many safari cars around, which was a plus!) I saw many wonderful animals. I contacted about half a dozen companies and Terrain stood out because George replied to all my questions promptly and provided a lot of useful information. It's a smaller company and they make sure their clients are very well looked after -- on my last night in Arusha George even came by my accommodation to chat and make sure I was completely satisfied with the trip! Book with them, you won't regret it!

Best holiday ever!
Tanzania via safari is a bucket-list adventure for almost every traveller on the planet in my opinion – an African safari holiday has got to be one of life’s greatest adventures. Whether it’s exploring the national parks, taking game drives, discovering food and local culture, Tanzania offers a broad choice of safari experiences for every type of traveller.
Our experience of the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater was absolutely outstanding thanks to the expert guides from Terrain Tanzania Safaris. Our guide, George Killas ensured we had a premium experience thanks to his guiding skills and knowledge of the areas. Accommodation in the lodges were amazing. We witnesses a live in the moment lion stalk and kill a young buffalo which was emotional and mesmerising all at the same time. Hyenas feeding on elephant remains and cheetahs in the Serengeti was an unmatched experience! This tour provided us with everything we could have wanted (and more).
I always felt we were safe and looked after by our guides and the transportation used was good quality and reliable.

Perfect!
A dream came true – our second unforgettable safari!
Our dream of a safari has come true – and for that, we would like to sincerely thank Mr. Killas, who made this wonderful experience possible.
A very special thank you also goes to our safari guide, Dallas, who greeted us with a warm smile every day and captivated us with so much fascinating information about the wildlife. His passion and knowledge made the safari truly special.
We also thank Juma, who skillfully and experiencedly guided us safely through every terrain and made this adventure possible in the first place.
This was already our second safari with Terrain – and once again, it was an absolutely unforgettable experience! Although we opted for the more affordable option, we were speechless at the high-quality tents. We truly lacked for nothing. The buffet was excellent, the food delicious, the drinks pleasantly chilled, and very reasonably priced.
Simba Bush Camp was simply breathtaking – a place we will never forget.
The entire organization was perfect. We drove from one breathtaking landscape to the next and had plenty of time everywhere to observe the animals at our leisure. We were able to enjoy the trip without any interruptions.
We could tell you so much more about what we saw and experienced – but in short: it was the most wonderful time of our lives. Under the caring and professional guidance, we felt safe and completely at ease at all times.
We will definitely be back next year and are already incredibly excited!
Warm regards, Celina and Mirek
