7 day great migration safari
The 7 day great migration safari with John Malley and Wilderness Insights Safaris was simply amazing. We saw a lot of animals thanks to our amazing guide John Malley, who did a perfect job. Ask for him, if you want to have a great experience. His knowledge about the animals and nature is superb. The accomodations and the safari car were also very nice. I have nothing to claim and all in all I woult totally recommend him for a safari trip.

John Malley, The kindest, most knowledgeable guide
We contacted John Malley on a recommendation of a friend. John created a Safari tour for 4 of us, accommodating everyone’s interests and preferences leading us on the best experience one could imagine. He afforded us a glorious day hike on Mount Kilimanjaro, a day of meeting two indigenous tribes on their natural environment, besides days of animal spotting far snd near including the famous Wildebeest fall migration that was unimaginable. All our lodges and tent camps were exceptional, providing the comfort and welcome rest after long adventurous days. If Safari is on your mind, John and Wilderness Safari is your best bet.

John Malley - an exceptional guide!
We (2 couples) spent 10 days with John on safari in the three main parks of Tanzania and had an exceptional experience! From the planning to execution all was accurate and fit our needs and wishes. John is highly knowledgeable and very sensitive to the needs and requests of the guests, service oriented, yet communicative and with a sense of humor. The tour met our abilities and wishes in the most optimal way. Thank you John!!

Once in a lifetime Experience!
This trip was the best vacation we ever had. We travelled together with a family and booked a trip to see Tansania and it's gorgeous wildlife.
We started close to Arusha with a wonderful waterfall walk before we started our trip with Jon. First we visited Tarangire with his stunning herds of Elephants and many other animals. we further continued to a town called Mto wa Mbu to learn about Banana farms, local heritage and how people live their lives on a daily basis. Our guide Jon Malley always gave us great explanations about the local customs and how people manage their lives on a daily basis, which I personally found very interesting. Generally spoken I have to say - chose your guide wisely, as you will spend a lot of time in the car with him. I can only recommend you to go on tour with Jon. He is a gentle, polite, smart and eloquent young man, who always gave us the feeling to be treated as guests and friends. Don't miss to go to the Ngorongoro Crater - this is the most stunning piece of land we have seen so far with a variety of wildlife I have never experienced before. We were lucky - Jon managed to make us seeing 2 kills, which is brutal and stunning at the sam time - seeing Lions in Wildlife hunting a warthog down. Let me express my sincere gratitude to the organisation of that trip - it was the greatest trip we have ever been on. Looking forward to seeing my Tansanian friend Jon again - we will definitely come back some time.

A very well organised trip with the friendliest guide - we loved everything about the safari.
Best safari experience
We went on a 10-day safari trip with John in September, and we had the most amazing time. John was a very friendly and competent safari guide, he told us a lot of interesting things about the country and the animals. He was also always very respectful when approaching the animals. We cannot recommend a safari with John enough, we would do it again.

Best Experience in my life
It was the greatest Experience I ever had, not only because the guides were the nicest people I ever met, also because the company always knew where to look for animals. The tour was really Great, I saw animals like lions, giraffes, rhinos, elephants, all kinds of birds, leopards and every wild animal I could think of, I think that was only possible because of our guides. I really really can’t say anything bad about everything, thanks to them, so if u are searching for safaris, this is the best choice you could make in my opinion, after all I’m really really grateful for all the experiences!

John was funny, informative, and took a lot of time to explain everything.
Our safari with John was an unforgettable experience. He always had a joke ready, which made every moment even more enjoyable. Thanks to him, we were able to see so many amazing animals and learned a lot about wildlife and nature. The accommodations were fantastic—we stayed in tents right inside the national park, surrounded by animals. We also met incredibly kind people along the way. I would love to do it again!
