Great safari
It was very lucky to have Francis traveling with us. Actually, most of the stars should attribute to this professional and funny guide as we really had a great time on safari.
However, there are some reminds for all visitors, especially for Chinese visitors: if you want to choose this company, firstly, double check and make sure the hotels meet your requirements before booking. Otherwise, they will ask for extra money after changing your hotels when you have already checked in. Secondly, the meals included might be different from specified in the itinerary. We had two missing dinners which were included according to the plan.
Thirdly, always figure out the price before letting them arranging your activities. They have that habit to make the prices vague and to keep the changes even if you are not mean to.
In addition, Serengeti is always the best choice. Other national parks like Arusha national park might be small. As for the Haozabe tribe, you should go only under the interest of hunting and be prepared for the tips for local guides and donations for local community. Don’t buy the handcrafts because they are expensive and even if you have already bought some trying to support their community, still they’ll ask you for donations directly.
Overall, always get all the information before making decisions, be careful of the hidden costs!!

A very well planned tour.
The trip was incredible!!
From the first moment I asked for information, Emiliana responded very quickly and was always attentive and focused on everything we wanted to do. We used a tour already on galilaya expedition website as a base, and we asked her to add or remove things. She was always very kind and accurate with our requests, until we finally got the tour we wanted. Our guide knew a lot about animals and gave us very interesting information at all times and he was very skilled at finding animals; he has a lot of experience and shared many experiences and things he's seen in his years as a guide.
We visited Tarangire National Park, Serengeti national park, Ngorongoro Conservation Area, and Lake Manyara National Park. Finally, we fly to Zanzibar. Overall, the accommodations were very nice and the meals were delicious. We managed to see the Big 5, as well as a lioness hunting a wildebeest, a pride of lionesses with their cubs, lionesses eating a wildebeest, numerous elephants, giraffes, hippos, warthogs, ostriches, cheetahs, leopards, zebras, wildebeests, impalas, flamingos, hyenas, and many birds.
It was the most beautiful experience I've ever had.
I highly recommend the Galilaya Expedition as your agency for enjoying Tanzania.

Awesome experience!
We had the most wonderful experience with Galilaya Expedition. The communication and organization before the trip were smooth and the tour operator was very helpful. The itinerary fit perfectly to our wishes (8 days, all National parks + Materuni waterfall). The safari trip was unforgettable - everything went just as it was planned and even beyond that. We were especially satisfied with the service of food, sleeping arrangements and the comfort of the tour.
And yes, we saw all the big 5! :)
Last but not least - we really mean it - we got the best possible tour guide and cook.
Tour guide: Riziki. He went above and beyond to make sure we got everything we wanted and that we are safe. Apart from that he has an amazing knowledge, great English and we had the best time with him.
Cook: Benedict. A young guy, who treated us unbelievably well. And on top of that, he cooks like a chef. We really believe we had the best meals of all groups that we saw.
To sum it up: This was an unforgettable trip. Great organisation from Galilaya Expedition and an amazing choice of personnel. We warmly recommend it to everyone, who is trying to visit Tanzania. Thank you!

Wonderful safari experience with Galilaya Expedition
Organization has been perfect since the beginning. We arranged everything from Italy thanks to excellent communication with Emiliana by WhatsApp, which allowed us to know exactly what the tour would be like before departing she is very responsive to all concerns and questions we ask and she provide us accurate details about our trip. We had all the transfers, our private car 4 days with our guide FRANCIS. We have to thank him so much cause he allowed us to see many animals in Serengeti, especially many many lions in Ngorongoro. We are happy for his knowledgeable and availability as well as his excellent English that allowed us to communicate without problems. All meals are very delicious and perfect and lastly our lodge was really beautiful. We highly recommend Galilaya Expedition especially with Francis as guide

Excellent experience，perfect guide very professional
The charges are very reasonable, and the meals provided are good and plentiful. The safari guide Francis is very experienced, his English accent is clear and it’s easy for us to understand.His knowledge of animals is professional and thorough. The chef is a young guy, and the dishes he prepares are good, but perhaps due to insufficient kitchen equipment at the camp, the food is served a little slowly. It’s worth noting that for the four nights of accommodation, there was no hot water for the first three nights. This is primarily the responsibility of the hotel, but the travel agency should improve communication and pay attention to this issue. I was only able to use hot water for a shower at the last accommodation of the trip.

a wonderful journey
I had a wonderful safari with galilaya expedition. Their pricing is fair and transparent, no hidden fees at all. All staff are super friendly—our guide was knowledgeable, pointed out rare wildlife and answered questions patiently. The whole trip went smoothly, and their warmth made the experience even better. I highly recommend them to anyone planning an safari!
