Top-notch organization
Fiona and David organized everything perfectly, everything was on time, they handled communication with drivers, resolved issues very fast, and provided additional car services upon request. Overall, couldn't wish for a more responsive, responsible and professional experience. Good value for money also!

Trip of a Lifetime
Our trip with Safari Soles was excellent and exceeded our wildest expectations.
The biggest highlight of the trip was our guide, Silas. He was a fantastic driver, game guide, and companion during our trip - we felt completely safe with him, he was timely and polite, and his knowledge was invaluable. The trip wouldn’t have been the same without him, and I will be recommending him to any friends considering a safari.
We also enjoyed our tent lodgings during safari immensely. Safari Haven’s staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming. The sundowner they provided was a beautiful way to spend the evening. Our balloon safari with Adventures Aloft was perfect. The pilot, Hego, and the rest of the crew were so fun to fly with and we enjoyed this experience even more than we expected.
I understand that Mbuni is a new lodging option, and our night here was fantastic. Our only regret was that we didn’t have more time here - the location was gorgeous, the lodgings were luxurious, the food was the best we had on the trip, and the staff were friendly and kind. Additionally, it was the best shower of the whole trip and our escort to the tent at night spotted a leopard in the trees!
Tortillis Camp in Ngorongoro was perhaps the most beautiful location we camped in, and we had a wonderful time sitting by the fire and chatting with other guests. The Masai dance they performed at dinner was incredible to watch.
Our time in Zanzibar was relaxing, though we were sad to leave mainland Tanzania and Silas behind.
The cost for this trip felt extremely reasonable, especially considering the level of planning done on their behalf and the transportation, food and beverages included. I believe we had a combination of luck and traveling at off-peak times, but this vacation felt extremely private and luxurious and we found ourselves receiving VIP treatment frequently without paying VIP costs.

Exceptional, knowledgable, experienced
We had an absolutely outstanding experience with Elephant Herd Tours & Safaris and cannot recommend them highly enough. Visiting from Ireland, my husband and I booked a two-day safari, a Panorama Route tour, and a visit to Elephant Whispers. Elephant Herd put together a customised package for us and every single part of the trip exceeded our expectations.
The whole team (especially Brendon and Rene) are incredibly efficient, responsive, organised and genuinely friendly. From the very first contact, everything was seamless and stress-free, which made us feel completely at ease travelling so far from home.
Our safari guide, Trevor, was exceptional. His knowledge, experience, and passion for wildlife truly enhanced the entire safari experience. He was also incredibly friendly and made every game drive both informative and enjoyable. We were lucky enough to see all of the 'Magnificent Seven' as well as so many other animals and birds.
Despite unexpected flooding and heavy rainfall during our stay, Elephant Herd Tours & Safaris were impressively adaptable and flexible, always prioritising our safety while still ensuring we had an unforgettable experience. Even with the challenging conditions, the safari was absolutely amazing.
The value for money is excellent. We loved every moment of our time with Elephant Herd Tours & Safaris and would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone planning a holiday in South Africa. A truly first-class experience from start to finish.

Booking was to easy and simple, they answer very fast at the mail. Perfect
We had an unforgettable experience during a 4-day safari in Kenya, visiting the Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru. The landscapes are simply breathtaking: endless plains, stunning colors, and nature that leaves you speechless. Every day was different and full of surprises.
We were lucky enough to see many animals in their natural habitat, and it was incredibly exciting to observe them up close. What made the experience even more special was our guide, Jeff: extremely knowledgeable, with fluent English, always helpful, and truly passionate about his work. He shared many interesting facts about the animals we encountered and answered all of our questions with great accuracy and patience.
A perfectly organized safari with amazing wildlife, incredible scenery, and an outstanding guide. An experience we highly recommend and will cherish forever.
THANK YOU JEFF, WE WILL KEEP IN TOUCH FOR NEXT EXPERIENCES !!!

An outstanding experience and one of the highlights of my trip to Tanzania
My safari in Ngorongoro Crater with Usaka Adventure was an outstanding experience and one of the highlights of my trip to Tanzania.
I would especially like to mention the excellent value for money. For a very reasonable price, I received a well-organized safari, a comfortable vehicle, and a highly professional guide who knows the crater extremely well, understands animal behavior, and shares his knowledge in a calm and unobtrusive way.
In just one day, I was lucky enough to see an incredible variety of wildlife, including white rhinos, hippopotamuses, lions, buffalo, antelopes, giraffes, elephants, zebras, as well as many interesting and diverse bird species. The density of wildlife in Ngorongoro is truly astonishing — it feels like nature is everywhere around you.
The safari was conducted at a relaxed and comfortable pace, without any rush or “checklist” feeling, which allowed me to fully enjoy the animals and the unique atmosphere of this remarkable place.
I can confidently recommend Usaka Adventure to anyone looking for a high-quality Ngorongoro safari with fair pricing and a genuinely memorable experience.

Professional, knowledgeable, and friendly
had an incredible safari experience in the Maasai Mara from January 19 to January 21. The safari was absolutely amazing, and my guide was exceptional—professional, friendly, and extremely knowledgeable about both the area and the wildlife. As a solo traveler, I felt completely safe with him and with every single person I engaged with from the company. My guide worked tirelessly to make sure I saw every animal on my list, along with many others I hadn’t even expected to encounter. His dedication and expertise truly made the experience unforgettable.
I also want to highlight how wonderful the company’s owner has been throughout the entire process. He has been consistently professional, responding to emails in a very timely manner and replying quickly to WhatsApp messages. No matter how big or small my questions were, he was incredibly helpful and reassuring every step of the way.
I highly, highly recommend this company to anyone considering a safari in the Maasai Mara. They deliver an outstanding experience from start to finish.

Outstanding safari experience with Plex Africa Safaris
We had an absolutely incredible experience booking our safari through Plex Africa Safaris and couldn’t recommend them highly enough.
From the very first enquiry, communication was excellent — clear, friendly, and reassuring. They were always available to contact via WhatsApp, which made everything feel incredibly easy and stress-free. Throughout the trip they regularly messaged to check that everything was going well and to make sure we were happy, which was a really thoughtful and reassuring touch.
Every detail of our safari was carefully planned and professionally organised, allowing us to relax and fully enjoy the experience without worrying about logistics.
The safari itself exceeded all expectations. Transfers, accommodation, game drives and river cruise all ran smoothly and on time, and everything felt well thought out rather than rushed or generic. A special mention must go to our safari guide, Abduli, who was outstanding. His knowledge of wildlife, landscapes, and animal behaviour was exceptional, and his calm, friendly manner made every game drive both educational and enjoyable. Thanks to him, we were lucky enough to see an incredible variety of wildlife and experience some truly unforgettable moments.
What really set Plex Africa Safaris apart was the personal care and attention throughout the entire trip. It never felt like a standard package — instead, it felt tailored, thoughtful, and genuinely focused on giving us the best possible experience. We felt safe, well looked after, and valued from start to finish.
This safari was a true highlight of our travels and something we’ll remember forever. If you’re considering a safari, we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Plex Africa Safaris. Thank you again — and especially to Abduli — for such an amazing experience.

A competent and wise safari guide
It was more than a pleasure to be guided by Sammy. He is reliable.His suggestions as to the gate to be used, timing and order of visit led us to be extremely lucky. We were able to see all the kinds of big animals available in the national park. In addition we were able to share views about life and Sammy was both discrete and mindful. For the rest of the tour he made bright suggestions, showing he had perfectly understood our expectations and style. I strongly and warmly recommend !

ADRIAN
Thank you to the staff and the group for allowing me to have a unique and unforgettable experience.
Perfect organization, meticulously planned down to the smallest details, with flexible payment options. My driver and guide, Adrian, who has now become my friend, was knowledgeable, professional, and entertaining, with an incredible eye for spotting animals; he was expert and knowledgeable about everything. Frequent and close-up views of the "Big Five," hippos, crocodiles, giraffes, zebras, gazelles, antelopes, cheetahs, hyenas, and so much more, powerful emotions and breathtaking nature. Comfortable accommodations, tented camps offering a unique experience with animal noises at night. Excellent food with packed lunches and dinners featuring local culinary expertise. Visiting the Maasai Village is an additional experience full of intense emotions. The roads are bumpy, but the vehicles are suitable for the adventure. Thank you all for giving me this wonderful dream; I will always carry you in my heart. Kevin
