Great safari memories made for life
Booked way in advance and Julius helped me with decisions on where to go and camps to visit, our driver Dominic picked us up from the hotel in Nairobi and from then on we had a great time, lots of Masai massage with the bumpy roads but that’s to be expected, lake naivasha and Nakuru first and we had already seen 4 of the big 5 before we got to the Mara, this was my 4th safari and it’s still the best experience. Julius kept in contact while we were there and Dominic was brilliant and super knowledgeable. We got to see so many animals up close and witnessed attempted kills as well as post kills.
Communication could be better prior to arrival but you need to also know that in Kenya things are done differently than UK and polepole (slowly slowly)!is their vibe

Kojuu Safari provided an excellent Safari experience.
I was very fortunate to come across Judith Siware of Kojuu Safari after perusing countless websites, recommendations from friends and other travel agencies, and query emails. Judith Siware, the travel director at Kojuu Safari was organized and thorough- providing a complex five day itinerary that included one day at Mount Kilimanjaro and four days at Tarangire, Ngorongoro, and Serengeti. Her hiking experts Dickson and his driver Festo were exceptional during my hiking excursion to Kilimanjaro. During my safari excursion, my tour guide Elias was phenomenal- providing details of the animal behavior and the culture of the Maasai. I never thought that I would see as many animals as I did. The Safari vehicles were comfortable and allowed easy access for photography with pop-up roofs. The hotel selection and service was superb- even in challenging environments like Serengeti. Laslty, the food at all locations was excellent. I plan to recommend the staff at Kojuu Safari to all my associates.

Reliable and listening to the customer
Good Tour Operator. Everything they promised was done. The one day trip to Lake Nakuru is just amazing. They started it in the early morning, which is the best to do for such an excursion, and the driver was sharp on time. He is very professional in the traffic, which is heavy and difficult all along the journey. The guide Margaret was fun...
One remark. The stop at Lake Naivasha on the was back is interesting. However, the boat tour is a little bit pricy and could be improved.

UNFORGETTABLE SAFARI
Meru Slopes and our tour guide Jacob provided us with an unforgettable 2-week safari, from the planning stages to the end of our trip.
Our first interaction with Meru Slopes was with Almachius, who answered all of our questions and put together our private mid-range safari, including cultural experiences based on our requests. I am sure he does not sleep as he was very responsive and replied to all of our emails almost immediately. After comparing all of our quotes from different agencies, we decided to go with Meru Slopes as their communication and pricing were hard to beat. Best of all, they are a local company.
We were lucky to have Jacob as our guide. He was great at spotting wildlife, knowledgeable about the animals, plants, and areas, had great driving skills on the bumpy roads, and had a great sense of humour. Jacob was always communicating via his two-way radio and was able to get us to sightings, and many times, we were the first vehicle there. He was always able to position us in the best spot to view the animals, and because of him, we got to see the big 5!
We were happy with all of our accommodation, especially Anantya Migratiin Camp, in Central Serengeti. Our safari tent was just beautiful, and we have never received such amazing service as we did here. Barikiel, our personal butler, went above and beyond to make our stay one we will never forget, as did all of the amazing staff here.
From the moment we stepped off the plane, to the moment we left Kilimanjaro Airport every detail was taken care of including, pickup and drop off, a local tour around Arusha and a last minute change to organise and extra nights accommodation. If we are ever lucky enough to return, we will definitely be using Meru Slopes, Almachius, and Jacob.

another world ❤️
A wonderful safari trip from Zanzibar to Arusha.
We visited Ngorongoro Crater and Tarangire Park.
Everyone is different and different animals, but all charming and wonderful.
The organization and communication with Kilipath African Safari was perfect, no problem, everything was as we agreed. We had a driver Godfreie with whom we were safe and always tried to find animals to be close to us. It was an amazing experience.❤️

Great safari
We made a beautiful trip across several parks from Masai Mara to Lake Naivasha, Lake Nakuru, Amboseli and Tsavo East and we finish with a few days in Watamu.
We really enjoyed the parks, maybe we found Tsavo less interesting at the end, we had very long hours trasnferring from one site to the other, but the scenery was always entertaining. We were able to see all kind of animals also thanks to our guide Daniel (Beacon Safari).
We also enjoyed our time in Watamu even if the presence of the beach boys can result a little annoying, always coming after you without leaving.

Good operating company
I had a wonderful trip and was lucky enough to see the 'Big 5' (lion, leopard, rhino, elephant, and buffalo). My guide Stanley was very knowledgeable of the animals and the landscape and was a friendly and helpful host. When I had a stomach issue, he made sure I saw a doctor that was able to prescribe medication that fixed my symptoms. We rode around in an 8-seat Toyota Land Cruiser, which is the standard. The lodging we stayed at had private bathrooms, which was nice, and all meals were provided. Communication with the operating company was easy, I used email and phone calls.

Excellent private Safari by Edward!
My friend and I arranged a 2 day Safari to the Masai Mara with Edward who was our driver and Guide in a private Landcruiser.
Edward was excellent and always kept us updated, made lots of interesting stops to break up the journey and he was kind and respectful throughout.
He knew where to find the animals once we were in the Mara and we were able to see most of the "Big 5"in just one day. He provided lots of useful information throughout and listened to us well with what we wanted to see.
Doing a Safari once in the Masai Mara is a once in a lifetime opportunity and is not to be missed if you get the chance. I had a great experience and would highly recommend!

Unforgettable experience thanks to the best guides Ernest and Innocent
Me and my group of 9 friends recently went on a Safari Soles tour, and it was an absolutely unforgettable experience. Our guides, Ernest and Innocent, were nothing short of amazing. They were incredibly knowledgeable and constantly in tune with the surroundings, always listening to the radio for additional wildlife sightings. Thanks to them, we got to see a wide range of animals in their natural habitat, and they ensured we got some incredible photos! In addition, they had answers to any questions we had and gave us many fun and unique facts. Ernest and Innocent took care of everything—from making sure we were well-fed to keeping us safe throughout the entire trip. It's clear they genuinely cared about our experience and are passionate about what they do. They made the whole adventure an unforgettable, once in a lifetime experience.
Our accommodations varied from luxurious villas to cozy tents, which made for a unique and memorable trip. Even while camping, I always felt safe and well-cared-for, with access to all the essentials. I never worried for my safety, as the staff was very attentive and there was always a Maasai member nearby to guide us anywhere we needed. Falling asleep to the sounds of zebras and lions in the distance was one of the highlights of the trip.
I can’t recommend Ernest, Innocent, and Safari Soles enough! If you're looking for a safari that combines adventure, comfort, and expert guidance, there's no one better to go with.

Great value, flexible and easy to deal with online, even more friendly in person.
Great safari experience, for a rate that was very competitive compared to other online prices for Maun (you can find cheaper prices for everywhere if you're in person, but then you run the risk of not having things available on your dates). We felt very happy with the experience we got, which was tailored to our specific needs in having a flight we needed to get back for. Like all safari companies in the area, they subcontract with local guides, and LK was fantastic and incredibly knowledgeable. Had a fun mokoro experience and a wonderful game drive with two comfortable nights camping as well. Overall highly recommended, and easy to deal with when organizing everything online.
