Our Trip Advisor Reviews
-
We rented a vehicle from Gladiola Adventure for 5 weeks in January and February 2021. Self-drive Safari in Tanzania is definitely challenging and we recommend you to take as much... read more time as possible. This way you can really enjoy and even if a problem appears you don’t get frustrated but are patiently figuring out a solution together with Gladiola or people around. In general we found Tanzanians to be extremely helpful and friendly people. We magical time going though Serengeti, Ngorongoro as well as lake Manyara National Park. Thanks to Gladiola for always being there when we needed them!

We've had a fascinating 8-days trip with Gladiola!
We really liked the hotels that were booked for us, they were even better than ones I had in mind.
Elia, our... read more driver and guide, was really, really good, excellent! To me, he is a definition of a guide: always ready to spot animals, tell us interesting facts, answer tons of our questions, and tirelessly drive big distances when needed, staying positive all the time. He was always attentive to our needs, he helped us with the doctor when we had encountered a minor problem etc.
The jeep was in good condition, we had a 4-seat for the two of us. The opening roof was really cool compared to usual cars - we could see a lot with comfort.
At first we didn't know what to choose - self-driving or a guided tour, and Gladiola shared their clients' contacts so we could talk to them, and we did. We think we did the right choice because it's great to spend all the time watching instead of driving, but also because the roads in the parks become really messy after rains, and I don't think it's possible to compete with guides in animal-spotting:) plus they have radios to exchange info on animals spotting.
