Our Story
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.
Why Choose Us
What sets a Gilbays safari apart isn't the itinerary on paper — it's who's behind it, and how closely they know the ground you'll be covering.
Based at the gate of Mikumi National Park, with guides who know the terrain, wildlife patterns, and back roads across Tanzania's parks firsthand.
Every trip is planned around you — from a short Mikumi day drive to a full multi-park circuit, adjusted to your pace and interests.
Well-maintained vehicles, experienced drivers, and guides trained to keep every game drive and trek both exciting and secure.
We work with Maasai cultural programs and local communities, so your visit supports the people who call this landscape home.
