5.00Gifton and his team are amazing! Would highly recommend. We went to Tarangire National Park for 2 days and then Ngorogoro Crater for a day trip. They made the safari fun and shared their knowledge along the way. This is a must do!
GIFTON is a funny guy, he will make you laugh and make you feel at home.. He also knows where and how to look for the animals. H

5.00We were so happy to have chosen “Take me to Tanzania adventure and safari” tours for our 2-Day Trip to Tarangire and Ngorogoro Crater. The Guides, Gifton and Justin, had high expertise in all facets of wildlife (Birds, Mammals, Trees, geology…) and were good and funny company. We were lucky enough to see the Big 5 and many many more animals. Also the car and driving skills were excellent too get close to the animals without scaring them. Thank you again, it was a once in a lifetime experience.
