Horrible experience
1/5

We booked this company for both Kenya and Tanzania safaris, They completely spoiled our Kenya Masai Mara experience, the guide we got name called Ole spoiled our complete experience by misguiding us and when we tried to call the tour company owner George, he was not at all responsive while we were in Kenya.

They treated us well while we were in Tanzania got a very good guide name called Omar but our Kenya and Masai Mara experience was horrible.
And when we were suppose to get AA Lodge at Ambosali National park, they gave one basic room where it was not a finished room with open nails and all, the beds were not even equipped with mosquito nets and my kids were bitten by at least 50 Mosquitos on that night.

Summary: Our experience in Tanzania is ok but definitely spoiled my Kenya experience.

I recommend you to avoid this company.

Your Masai Mara experience to me was a great one - you had a full day of game drive on day two from 8:00 to around 18:00, I remember to have spoken to you at exactly 17:47hrs and your reply was , can I call you in one hour? Still in a game drive.

The following day was a transit day and not a game drive day since you were to be at the border from 9:00Am, we have a shortcut route to get to the border but you insisted to cross through the reserve and delayed at the gate for 2hrs because our guide didn’t have these informations - yes I was not available (church) but my colleague Eric whom I gave you his contacts authorized and we paid for you to cross through the Reserve. While on transit through the reserve - it was another game drive which ended up with late arrival at the border.

Masai Mara to Serengeti NP via Isebania border we recommend clients to cross this border between 10:00hrs and 12:00hrs but you crossed the border at 15:45hrs because you insisted and extended a Game Drive in Masai Mara. I had to call and inform the incharge of Serengeti Gate on your late check-in to the Park, of course you arrived relatively late at the gate and after dark at the Camp.

On your last two days in Tanzania - I left my office work and took the responsibility to drive and guide you to Mt Kilimanjaro as part of your schedule, I wanted to find out if anything was wrong - but you seemed to be very happy.

Amboseli NP, we could not find rooms at AA both nights , I explained and we agreed to a different Camp of which you did not like, efforts were done and we moved you to AA second night. The rest of the accommodations were as per itinerary. THANKS.

Personal service, terrific safari company!
5/5

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!
5/5

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.

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

We are so thankful to Robert our Guide/driver who clearly loves his country. He showed us the most beautiful places in Tanzania, including so much wildlife!!! He was so patient with us as we wanted to take so many photos of all the wildlife, and he always made sure we had the time that we wanted during each experience. We feel so fortunate to have had Robert as our driver. He was so very safe and never took any chances with our safety. We cannot thank him enough for everything he did for us. We had a wonderful experience thanks to Robert.💖

5/5

We had an unforgettable experience with our guide Dallas, who was both very professional and treated us like his sisters. We couldn’t have hoped for a better guide. His mastery of the job, deep knowledge, and excellent driving skills allowed us to see the Big Five and more. Thank you so much, Dallas — we will never forget this incredible experience.

We highly recommend Terrain Tanzania Safaris.
Wishing you all the best going forward!
