Practically the most fabulous nature exploration trip we have done in a long time. We went with Gecko because they are the masters of the South and have done many trips to these parks. It was fun and really enjoyable with Bundala our guide. In Mikuni we had very action-packed game drives filled with wildlife encounters. At Udzungwa we went hiking in the lush forest with so many waterfalls, monkeys, birds and just awesome nature away from the crowds.

We were looking for something different from the traditional safari's and we found it with Gecko Adventure Tanzania during our recent trip to Mikumi and Udzungwa. We enjoyed the game drives with Musa in Mikumi but it was the hiking at Udzungwa that was special. The lush green forest with different bird species, rare monkeys, waterfalls, butterflies and just the pristine nature was like MAGIC!! We are definitely going to return for an Udzungwa exclusive tour in December or next summer.

Gecko Adventure Tanzania did a splendid job of organizing our safari trip to Mikumi and Udzungwa. You could tell that Rama took time to work on every detail, because all the aspects went smoothly without any hiccup. Mansoul our guide was great. Very knowledgeable and flexible to accommodate our wishes. The lodgings booked were exquisite, we had good experiences in them, and they were all along the safari circuit. It was an incredible experience to see the southern side of Tanzania.
