An unforgettable safari with an amazing guide and a wonderful travel agency!
Everything was well organized from the very beginning. Xavier was always quick to respond and patiently answered all my questions before the trip. Our guide, James, was fantastic—he had incredible eagle eyes and always got us to the best spots for wildlife viewing. He shared so much about the animals and gave us a deeper appreciation of Kenya. Highly recommend!

Wonderful safari in Kenya
Chris is an excellent tour guide, and I really recommend him as your first choice to Kenya Safari.
This Kenya safari turned out to be the trip of a lifetime, far beyond all my expectations. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable, skilled at spotting hidden wildlife and explaining every animal’s habit patiently. We witnessed the full Big Five, massive elephant herds.
The whole schedule was well-organized through Xavier who is very good and quick in responses and answered all my concerns and clarifications that i needed. Comfortable safari vehicles and cozy lodges let us fully enjoy wild adventures. Local staff were warm and welcoming, bringing us close to authentic African culture. Every game drive was thrilling yet peaceful. I left with countless precious photos and lifelong memories. I strongly recommend this agent Solo Safari to anyone craving genuine wilderness magic and will definitely come back someday.

Two days of excitement.
Sole Safari did a great job in organizing our trip. Hotels both in Nairobi and Massai Mara were good with courteous staff albeit the food at Jambo Lodge in Massai Mara could improve as it was not very good. The guide was excellent and even enabled us to witness a lion kill (sneaking on and pouncing on an unsuspecting wild beast) - something not everyone gets to see even on multiple trips. So we were lucky. We also witnessed the “great migration”. So all in all a great and well organised trip

He is nice, keen, approachable and meticulous
I had an absolutely amazing experience on a solo trip to the Maasai Mara from start to finish. The communication before the trip was excellent, the team was responsive, professional and kept me informed throughout the booking process, making everything seamless and stress-free.
The service exceeded my expectations. The guides were knowledgeable, friendly and clearly passionate about wildlife and the Mara. They went above and beyond to ensure everyone had the best possible experience, taking the time to answer questions and position the vehicle for incredible wildlife sightings.
I would highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to experience the beauty of the Maasai Mara. It was an unforgettable trip filled with breathtaking scenery, amazing wildlife encounters and wonderful memories. I would not hesitate to book with them again!

We did a 1.5 day safari. The room in Jambo Mara was great, and so was the car and the tour! I recommend solo safari update. We booked last minute and it went smoothly.

Excellent
Amazing 4-day Masai Mara safari experience! Our tour was extremely well planned and organised, making the entire trip smooth and enjoyable. We had incredible wildlife sightings, including lions, elephants, giraffes, zebras, and more. Our guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and made the experience truly unforgettable. The beautiful landscapes and amazing game drives were the highlight of our Kenya trip. Highly, highly recommend this safari — definitely an experience worth having!

Amazing experience
Overall, an amazing safari experience and definitely 5/5 stars. Everything organized by Xavier was perfect, and all the hotels were excellent. A special mention goes to Kikitu, my guide for the first part of the safari, who truly went above and beyond to make the experience unforgettable—his enthusiasm, effort, and dedication were exceptional. Sadly, the experience downgraded a little after changing to my second driver, as the guiding felt less engaged and at times somewhat unprofessional, with less effort put into making the most of the game drives. Regardless of this downgrade toward the end, thanks to Xavier’s excellent organization and especially Kikitu’s outstanding effort, the safari as a whole was still an amazing and unforgettable experience. I would happily book with Solo Safari again and can really recommend them!

Amazing Safari Experience with an Incredible Guide
We had an amazing safari experience! Everything went very smoothly, the lodges were clean and comfortable, the food was good, and both Jambo Mara Safari Lodge and Lake Nakuru Lodge had mosquito nets.
The only thing to improve would be the information about drinking water. It is advertised as included, but only the water provided during the safari drives is included. At the lodges, extra water has to be paid for, which should be made clearer in advance because is expensive and you dont have any options to buy the water in another place.
The absolute highlight was our Masai guide, Peter. He was incredible and made the whole experience so special. The safari simply wouldn’t have been the same without him.
Overall, a fantastic experience and definitely recommended!

Great game drive with many animal encounters
Great experience to see various animals in their environment. Of course it always needs also a bit luck when doing a Safari as this is wildlife and not a zoo. My hopes to see a leopard and cheetah were all coming true and I enjoyed the stay in Maasai Mara a lot. Also the lodges around the park provide great service and make this experience complete.

Xavier was the man! Very well managed.
Like I said, Xavier was the person handling our entire tour. Right from Nairobi airport to Masai Mara and back.
The hotel food however was not good unfortunately. Concord hotel in Nairobi where we stayed for a night was good but the food could have been better. Jambo resort food in Masai Mara was not good unfortunately. Breakfast, lunch and dinner. The room was nice and the washroom as well.
The safari was excellent. Peter the guide in Masai Mara who was with us for the two days was really good. Went all the way to take to places to see and take pictures of animals.
Overall, the 4 days we were in Kenya were well spent and value for money.
