Tanzania: Great Migration Safari

Incredible guides, service, and food. A once-in-a-lifetime experience. Everything was taken care of—highly recommend Gondwana.

Amazing small-group safari experience. Friendly, knowledgeable guides and unforgettable wildlife encounters. Camping and meals exceeded expectations!

The best safari we’ve ever taken. Guides Noel and Vumi made the trip unforgettable. Expertly run and highly recommended!

Felt safe and cared for the entire trip. The Maasai village visit was a highlight. Guides were outstanding—this trip exceeded expectations!

Saw the Big Five and so much more! Jared and the team made this the trip of a lifetime. Would recommend to anyone!

Unforgettable safari in 2024. Saw the Big Five, enjoyed beautiful lodges, and had outstanding guides. A perfect African adventure!

Hands down, THE best tour company on the planet. I don't have enough positive adjectives and attributes to describe how wonderful this company is in every way possible. We have completed two trips to Africa with them; one to Tanzania and one to Rwanda. Both of these amazing adventures were trips of a lifetime and far exceeded our expectations in every way possible. Gondwana Ecotours is ethical, fair, organized, kind, gracious, accommodating, helpful, transparent, safe, detailed, and truly has a desire to conduct their tours in a way that allows their guests to experience the most possible from the experiences they provide. Every detail is taken care of and communication every step of the way is superb. Our trips have been absolutely amazing and I commend Gondwana on how eco friendly they are and the strong relationships they have established with their partners. Their staff are knowledgeable, caring, lovely people who are so on top of every aspect assuring top notch experiences for their guests. Gondwana Ecotours provides the epitome of well-organized, all inclusive, small group immersive travel. Thank you!

I cannot say enough great things about this trip and this organization! I recently went on their Tanzania trip and WOW. You get so immersed in the incredible wildlife and culture, the food was consistently amazing, the guides were super knowledgable and friendly (Gary and Emmanuel were such a joy), and you feel really taken care of from the moment you get there. It was a big draw that this organization runs carbon neutral trips, and seeing firsthand how Gondwana gives back to the communities they visit was such a cool addition. This trip is very accommodating for all ages, and as a solo traveler, I always felt safe with this group. A real 5 star experience!

My husband and I just returned from the Tanzania adventure with Gondwana. OMG! This truly is the trip of a lifetime. It was more than I imagined. Our local guide (Emmanuel Paul) and drivers, were so very knowledgeable. Gary Howell, we met him last year on our Alaska adventure) was absolutely fabulous. Emmanual and Gary were a great team. Not only were they very knowledgeable but they also made it lots of fun. The accommodations, food, and transportation were all 5 stars. We would not hesitate to sign up for another tour if Gary was one of the guides. We love you Gary!

I have traveled on 5 Gondwana tours. Each one was perfectly planed. The accommadations and meals were consistently excellent. The guides were friendly, helpful and very knowledgable. Whether it is an Alaska or any other destination. Gondwana is the best choice.

Over the last 15 years we have booked 15 tours with 7 different tour companies. The last 3 have been with Gondwana EcoTours and they are the best! From destinations, itineraries, pre-trip information, customer care/help and guides they are fantastic. The traveler to guide ratio is unreal: 16 to 2, 17 to 6 and 12 to 2 on our trips. With no other tour company have we met all the owners and have been treated like valued family. We look forward to our next trip with Gondwana. Judy & Al Boyer, Orange, California

We recently went on the Gondwana Tanzania Great Migration Safari. I have to say, it is probably one of the best vacations we have been on. We had a true authentic Tanzanian experience. We stayed in locally owned lodges with friendly, attentive staff, visited local communities including a Maasai village and learned so much about the people and the culture in addition to our incredible safari experience. Dani, our Gondwana trip leader, made sure everyone was well taken care of including any dietary needs, etc. Victor, Tito, Noel and Emmanuel were the best guides and drivers. They got us everywhere safely, found so many animals for us to see and we learned so much about the animals, their habitat, local customs and the history of the area. Our trip included visits to Arusha National Park, Tarangiere National Park, Ngorongoro Caldera and National Park and Serengeti National Park. We saw so many Wildebeest, zebras, giraffes, elephants, impalas, monkeys, baboons, Cape buffalo, birds and other animals. We were very lucky in that we got to see the “big five” (rhino, leopard, lion, elephant and buffalo) as well as cheetah and hippo. I cannot tell you how impressive it is to see these animals in their natural surroundings. As Gondwana limits the size of their groups, we got to know everyone quite well in our group of 17 and felt like old friends by the end of the trip. We are looking forward to our next adventure with Gondwana.

It is hard to put into words what we experienced on the Tanzania: Great Migration Safari. Let’s start with the guides; all experts, wonderful people, and as the safari progressed, we felt like one big family. We got very up close to all of the wildlife we were hoping to see. The guides would not stop until we experienced everything! The trip was perfectly managed by Dani, the overall trip guide. We always heard from friends that you are not guaranteed seeing all of the “big five”, we saw them all and so many more! We learned so much along the way and can’t wait to take another trip with Gondwana. We already booked the Patagonia trip for 11/2027.

I just came back from the Gondwana Tanzania Migration Safari and it was "over the top" wonderful. This was my second trip with Gondwana , and once again they exceeded my expectations. They have stellar relationships with all their local people. Our guides made us feel like family and the depth of their knowledge was incredible. The Serengeti is like being in the Wild West and I can't believe how many animals and birds we saw. Everytime you left one sighting, our guide would spot another. The accomodations were wonderful and personal and the food was delicous. I can't wait to book my next trip
