About Gilbays Safaris

Rooted in Mikumi, built on local knowledge

A Morogoro-based safari operator with years on the ground in Mikumi National Park — get to know the team, the story, and the values behind every trip we plan.

Our Story

Local roots, honest safaris

Gilbays Safaris was built from the ground up in Mikumi, Morogoro — not in a city office, but at the gate of the park we know best. That closeness means our guides read the bush day to day, not from a brochure.

From daily Mikumi game drives to multi-day routes through the southern and northern circuits, every itinerary is planned by people who have actually driven the roads, camped the routes, and met the communities along the way.
