Sensational, great people, great experience.
From the very beginning of planning Happiness at Safari Soles, was super comunicative, polite and was able to answer all of our thousands of questions. She put together a safari with exactly what we wanted to do and see and within our budget. We even had a change of the number of friends coming along and even that did not cause a problem. She just adjusted things and we recieved a new estimate that very day.
In regards to the guide, Junior was in our opinion SUPER. He was very aware of our interests and was extreamly eager to ensure we were able to do and see all that we had in mind. He was personable and informative, flexible and patient with us. We will be keeping in touch as we feel like we made a new friend in Junior.
As far as lodging goes. Even though in the estimate they sent us, there were photos of the lodging, it doesn't come close to reality. The reality is way better! We felt as if we were in luxury accomodations, but paying a mid range price. The food was absolutely amazing, no matter where we stayed. Even the picknics were not of the boxed kind (as I saw other companies provide), they were freshly cooked and portions enough to fill us and more. There is nothing like spreading the table cloth over the hood of the Range Rover and pulling out a full meal with wine and beer and eating under an acacia tree! Really memorable. In one of the tented camps we stayed at, our hardest decision was to either shower in the open air shower or to take a bath in the room with views overlooking the valley. Absolutely incredible.
At night, the tented camps are watched over by the Massai. Other companies, might employ different people but I found it great that they employed local people.
