A great trip to ruaha I went on a 4day 3 night safari to ruaha with wild gaze. Earnest was very good to talk with and was good at communicating. Michael, my driver and guide was very good as well. Saw a lot of animals including the big 4 of the big 5 (except rhino - there are no rhinos in the park). The park is huge but Michael seem to know every corner of it. I would definitely go on a safari with them again.

Thank God for Meeting Wild Gaze Very fun trip with good car, good driver. We see good animals like buffalo, hyena, elephant, zebra and wildbeast. We like everything like hotels, nice food, nice bed in all places. I like the personal guide Ernest. He drives very good and makes us very happy. Thank God for meeting Wild Gaze. They be perfect

A real expert providing a great tailor made experience We went on a 3 day/4 night trip with Ernest and Wild Gaze. He picked us up from Dar es Salaam and took us to the accommodation near the Nyerere National Park and arranged a full day game drive, full day boat safari and a bush walk on our final morning before driving us back to Dar. Ernest was friendly, helpful and professional throughout our trip and I could not recommend his services more. He tailored the package to our time, budget and priorities and went out of his way to make sure that we had the best possible experience. With his years of experience as a safari guide in the park it was clear that he knew how to find and spot all the different animals that you hope to see, so we had an amazing time watching and photographing the animals. He was always keen to help us get the best view, or the best photograph, and took time to share facts and information about the animals. Ernest also organised top quality guides for our boat safari and walking safari, who were both able to also share their expert knowledge of the things we encountered. Definitely choose Ernest for your next safari trip.

Amazing trip to Nyerere, Great value for money We did a 4 day/3 night safari to Nyerere National Park with Ernest. We had the most amazing time and I can't say enough good things about Ernest and Wild Gaze. We initially got in touch with Ernest when we were still planning what we wanted to do and he helped us plan everything to encompass exactly what we were looking for with a super reasonable budget. He worked with us on making sure everything was set in advance so we didn't have to worry about anything. My friend and I felt looked after the whole time. Our accommodation was basic, but very budget friendly, which is what we were going for. Ernest's game drive through Nyerere National Park was stellar. I've been on several safaris in Tanzania and Ernest is such a professional, really going above and beyond to make sure we had a great experience. He just very clearly is an expert in what he does. He arranged for really great specialist guides as well for our boat safari and for a bush walking safari. The whole experience was excellent from the time he picked us up in Dar es Salaam to when he dropped us back off four days later. I will definitely be back in touch to arrange future safaris with Ernest.

Excellent management, serious business The first visit did not end well. The guide we picked, name is Ben, scammed us. We contacted the company and have the opportunity to talk with Ernest, the owner, he listened to us and even drove down to Mafinga to show his face and offer an apology and a solution. Ernest is an ex-ranger, with many years on his back hunting and stopping poachers. Ernest is very professional and knowledgeable, he will drive you to many spots where you can enjoy Ruaha at its full. I am sure this company have professional and experienced guides but Ernest is the real deal. The experience did not star well but end up brilliant. I totally recommend this company, they show up when a customer have a problem and they deliver. Thanks Ernest for managing the situation with professionalism.

A great time in Ruaha Park My friends and I had a really good time with Ernest in Ruaha Nationalpark. It was our second time in Ruaha. On our first trip we had some misunderstandings about our booking that actually weren’t Wild Gaze Safaris fault but nevertheless Ernest took the responsibility and give us an other Day inside Ruaha National Park for free. On both trips we saw a lot of animals and also our accommodations inside the park were really nice. In the night you can hear and if you are lucky also see the animals outside. Ruaha is a great Park with a lot of animals. You could probably have a nice time there with any safari company but if something goes wrong or you have misunderstandings, unexpected events, (things that could happen every time) you can be sure that Ernest will take the responsibility and will be aimed to find a solution for you.

Amazing trip In my opinion the price was really fair and we received a lot for it! We didn’t saw that many animals but the quality was overwhelming (raining season). We saw 3 male different lions at the same in a River with a elephant tribe crossing the river. Was really amazing. Also the accommodation was great and we even saw elephants waking us up at 2 am. The Food was also fine. I can fully recommend the wild gaze Safari with Ernest as driver esspecially. Thanks for everything.

I'll only choose wild gaze safari from now on Ruaha National Park with Ernest is the best way to visit it. It was my second time in Ruaha, and thanks to him we got to see many other places, It was beautiful. During the game drive he takes so many little roads into the bushes and you spot many more animals . I would recommend to anyone Wild Gaze Safaris as they are very professional and Ernest does his job with passion.

Wonderful Ruaha Ruaha is certainly the best park in Tanzania, still really wild, less crowded and much cheaper. Our guide was just excellent, explaining a lot of very interesting things about the animals we saw and their behaviors, but also about the plants, geology, culture,... Cheap solution is to go from Iringa in the morning in order to get in the park at 12-1pm and to go out the next day or the day after at the same time, because the entrance fees are charged for 24hours. The bandas are a very good and budget option to sleep in the park.

Peace of mind By chance, Wild Gaze Safaris was hired to take to the Ruaha National Park from the airport in Iringa and then back from the park to the airport at the beginning of June during the Eid holiday. All of this was arranged through the Ruaha River Lodge, whom they managed all the package for me. Ernest picked me up from the airport and on our way to Ruaha National Park, the airline contacted me to let me know that my flight back to Dar es Salaam was cancelled, and I needed to be back in Dar by Sunday night because I needed to go to work on Monday. You can imagine that this was a highly stressful situation and not an ideal way to start my short trip. After brainstorming with Ernest on how best to get back to Dar, and remember I was about to head into the wilderness, Ernest reassured me that he would take care of everything. We decided that the best way to go was for me to spend one night in Iringa (Saturday night) and then drive to Dodoma to fly from Dodoma back to Dar es Salaam. Wild Gaze and Ernest took care of booking my flight, reserving a hotel in Iringa and they also would drive me from Iringa to Dodoma. I told Ernest to please just be careful with prices and I asked him for a fair price. We exchanged numbers and off I went into my safari adventure trusting that they would take care of everything and wouldn't charge me thousands of USD. Ernest checked in with me a couple of times over whatssap and he reassured me completely that I had nothing to worry about. Ernest picked me up from the national park as per what I had already paid for in the package that lodge had arranged, and he was not wrong. I did not have to worry about anything. Wild Gaze safaris had booked for me my flight from Dodoma to Dar, a really nice and affordable room in the best hotel in Iringa, Ernest took me to see the Isimila Stone Age Site, he took me the German Boma, to the Gangilonga rock and then ultimately, to the Dodoma airport. He is very knowledgeable and we had lovely conversations about Tanzania, its history, the parks, etc. I had been at that point a resident in Tanzania for 3 years, so I knew when I was being overcharged. Overall, I would say that what I paid was the fair price for an excellent service. I would recommend Wild Gaze Safaris and Ernest a 100%. My experience with them was one of the best customer services I had received in my 3+ years of experience in Tanzania. In addition, Ernest's company and conversation were englightning and I enjoyed it thoroughly. I will always be thankful to Ernest and to Wild Gaze Safaris for helping me avoid a situation that could have turned into a true nightmare and for taking such a good care of me and assuring that I would get an incredible experience.
