WHERE SAFARI LUXURY RISES BEYOND THE DRIVE
Experience one of the most unforgettable safari adventures in Tanzania, a sunrise hot air balloon flight over its vast, untamed wilderness. As dawn breaks, you drift silently above endless savannahs, winding rivers, and ancient acacia woodlands, watching wildlife awaken in a soft golden glow. From this privileged aerial perspective, the true scale and beauty of the Serengeti and Tarangire come alive, elephant herds crossing the plains, giraffes moving gracefully across the landscape, and predators returning from their night hunts. Unlike traditional game drives, the balloon’s gentle glide offers undisturbed, panoramic wildlife viewing and exceptional photographic moments. The journey concludes with a champagne bush breakfast set in the heart of the wild, transforming a hot air balloon safari into a once-in-a-lifetime luxury experience for travelers seeking something truly extraordinary.
WALKING SAFARI
Walking safaris in Tanzania redefine luxury through exclusivity, silence, and meaningful connection with nature. Led by highly experienced professional guides, guests explore the wilderness on foot, discovering animal tracks, birdlife, and ancient ecosystems at a refined, unhurried pace. From the dramatic plains of the Serengeti to the remote and untouched landscapes of Ruaha and Nyerere National Park, each walk is carefully curated to ensure privacy, safety, and deep immersion. Whether enjoying a short guided nature walk or embarking on a multi-day fly-camping expedition, walking safaris offer a rare opportunity to experience Africa in its purest form, beyond the drive and truly into the wild. Walking safaris are offered in some of Tanzania’s most iconic regions, including Arusha National Park, Tarangire, Serengeti, the Ngorongoro Highlands, Ruaha, and Nyerere National Park (Selous).

EXCELLENT Based on 14 reviews Posted on Cheryl-Dene SVerified Expert Guide, Genuine Heart—Alex Delivers Every Time If you're planning a trip to Africa, consider yourself incredibly fortunate if you get to work with Alex. He is truly one of the best guides out there. Our nonprofit organized a fundraiser to climb Mount Kilimanjaro, and Alex handled every detail flawlessly—from logistics to accommodations, which were outstanding.He even arranged an unforgettable safari for us after the climb. Alex’s reputation as a top guide is well deserved. Beyond his expertise, he is genuinely one of the kindest people you'll meet, and that care and integrity are reflected in every part of his work.Do yourself a favor: book the trip of a lifetime—and rest assured, you're in exceptional hands with Alex.Posted on Brandon AVerified 10 out of 10 experience and trip! The views were amazing and the experience was fantastic! Alex planned everything and knew exactly where to go and all of the best spots! We also checked out some great local spots and had some amazing food! He made us feel like family before and after our trip!Posted on Anne RVerified A+ services, highly recommended (FROM THE US) I recently traveled with Alex and Gamedrive Africa for the second time. I first met Alex in 2006 and he managed to guide me to the top of Mt. Kilimanjaro then. During our second visit, we undertook another successful Kilimanjaro climb, he also arranged wonderful places for several safari trips, and a side visit to Zanzibar. I cant imagine visiting Tanzania and trusting anyone else with my arrangements. He was very hands on, there was incredible communication back and forth and he was attentive to every detail of this once in a lifetime experience. I highly recommend his services!!! His experience on climbs is unlike any other outfitter in the country. If safety is your priority, he is 100% the man to reach.Posted on Darlene FVerified Consider Gamedrive Africa. You won’t regret it! An amazing experience! As a solo traveler it was important that I not only had a great experience but felt safe and cared for as well. Alex not only was an amazingly knowledgeable guide who looked after my safety on the mountain but helped get me there as well! I wouldn’t use any other company! I will always be grateful to these amazing people!!Posted on Jesse KVerified An Unforgettable Experience! What an amazing trip! My wife and I had been on a couple of safaris in South Africa a few years ago, but this was the real deal! We saw thousands of animals in many different settings. We even had the experience of staying in a bush camp, giving us close proximity to the animals. We also had the enriching experience of meeting and interacting with so many of the locals, especially the Maasai people. The accommodations varied, from a Maasai Lodge and a bush camp, to some nice resort style lodges. Alex, the owner of Game Drive, and his drivers were super nice, helpful and very knowledgeable. We came away from the trip feeling that we truly experienced Africa.Posted on marylyn mVerified Game Drive Africa Tours for an extraordinary adventure! Africa, Tanzania, is breathtaking. We had an extraordinary safari with Alex John, Game Drive Africa Tours. Alex, we will be forever indebted to you for providing a rich cultural immersion with the Maasai and Hadza tribes, their art, spear throwing, archery, dancing, sunset hike, laughter, and generosity touched our souls. Thank you and your team for the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, Oldupai Gorge, and Tarangire and Serengeti National Parks adventures. We were introduced to the Big 5 – elephants, lions, leopard, rhinos, and cape buffalos – thanks to your expert guides who sleuthed out the animals’ hiding places. Giraffes, wildebeests, gazelles (aka Chetta Chips), zebras and other indigenous creatures roamed the parks, frequently bringing our jeeps to a standstill while ambling across the dusty roads, so close you could almost touch them! We are grateful to Longinnie, our Safari guide, who shared his knowledge and lived experience of Tanzanian lifeways – culture, tribes, history, diversity of flora and fauna – the majestic Baobab tree, and who thoughtfully answered about a million questions generated by his 7 passengers – family and friends. Thank you Longinnie for your generosity. Zanzibar was a radical departure from northern Tanzania with ocean kayaking, magnificent beaches, the gut-wrenching slave trade history, and the gigantic tortoises of Prison Island. Thank you Alex, we highly recommend Game Drive Africa Tours for people seeking an extraordinary adventure.Posted on Martha A GVerified African safari/cultural experience I just returned from the trip of a lifetime. An African safari organized by Alex John, Gamedrive Africa. All the air and jeep travel, lodging and meals were arranged by Gamedrive Africa. I couldn't have asked for a more incredible experience. The first few days were spent on a game drive in the Serengeti. Each day we saw elephants, giraffes, lions, zebras, warthogs, monkeys, hippos, herds of gazelle and wildebeest. Each jeep had their own driver who was wonderfully attentive and worked hard to help us have the best African wildlife experience. The lodging was great. Better than I could have hoped for. Alex also arranged for the group to spend several days with the Maasai tribe. The Maasai couldn't have been more welcoming, and the cultural experience is one I will never forget. All my bucket list expectations were met. I wholeheartedly recommend Alex John and Gamedrive Africa for your African safari/Arican cultural experience.Posted on Michael EVerified Perhaps the most amazing travel experience I have had. We joined a group of likeminded travellers on a Safari in Tanzania. Game Drive Africa made all the lodging reservations and travel arraignments from the Kilimanjaro Airport (JRO) for the next 14 days. We stayed in very nice lodges as we traveled through northern Tanzania first to Tarangirie National Park then Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater. Along the way we witnessed amazing landscapes and cultural settings. We saw thousands of animals and birds. A stop at Oldive Gorge was included. We were given the opportunity to see the Serengeti from a hot air balloon.Our drivers and guides were very knowledgeable of the flora, fauna, and culture. They spoke English, German, Italian, Spanish, and Swahili. Very personable and hard working. Saying good by was a little hard to do. We visited remote villages of hunter gatherers and pastoralist, learning their lifestyle and sharing their laughter and food. The group leader took us to the most authentic markets where we could shop for quality art, gems, and fabrics at the best prices. Seeing how people lived in the remote villages and the cities was a life changing experience helped by the insight and explanations of our guides. We ended our trip on the beaches of Zanzibar and the Indian Ocean.Asante. Natumaini kukuona tena. Thank you. I hope to see you again.Posted on Joyce EVerified Two African weeks to cherish forever The trip was life-changing in a positive way. From vast plains covered with wild animals to native villiages to a thriving coastal economy, we saw and learned and soaked in the culture. All the while, our comfort, individual interests, and safety were top priority.Posted on diane bVerified African Adventure Awaits You This truly was the trip of a lifetime. To be so close to some of these animals was unbelievable! The drivers are incredibly knowledgeable about not only the animals but the flora and fauna as well. Alex showed us so many parts of Africa that gave you a sense of the people’s true culture. I would absolutely recommend this trip for anyone with a sense of adventure!
