Truly unforgettable experience
Wow, I can't express how incredible my safari experience in Tanzania was with Soles Safari! From the moment I connected with tour operator Julius Joseph, I knew I was in good hands. Julius took the time to truly understand our preferences and customized the tour to cater to our every need. His attention to detail and willingness to go the extra mile made us feel valued and ensured that our safari would be a once-in-a-lifetime adventure.
What impressed me the most was the seamless execution of the tour. Throughout the entire journey, every aspect of the logistics was flawlessly managed, allowing us to focus on immersing ourselves in the breathtaking landscapes and captivating wildlife.
The accommodations provided by Soles Safari were nothing short of luxurious. Each lodge or camp we stayed at surpassed our expectations. The staff were warm, friendly, and always ready to assist. The rooms were beautifully appointed, offering a comfortable sanctuary after a day of thrilling game drives. And let me not forget to mention the the food options per our preference.
Our safari guide, Isaack, was an absolute gem. Not only was he incredibly knowledgeable about the wildlife and ecosystems, but he also had an innate ability to understand our desires and tailor the game drives accordingly. His experience and intuition led us to the most incredible sightings, including witnessing the awe-inspiring Great Migration and encountering the Big 5 in the Serengeti. Isaack made every game drive a memorable experience.
One particular moment stands out - my son's dream of seeing a Cheetah. Isaack took it upon himself to make that dream come true. He planned an early morning game drive, and to our sheer delight, we spotted a majestic Cheetah in all its glory. The joy and excitement on my son's face were priceless, and it's all thanks to Isaack's commitment to creating extraordinary moments.
I must also commend Isaack for his thoughtfulness during the game drives. He made sure we were always comfortable, stocking the jeep's refrigerator with an abundance of drinks, including our favorite cold beverages, water, beer, and wine. This attention to detail and hospitality added an extra touch of luxury to our safari experience.
From the moment we embarked on this journey with Soles Safari, till the very end, our safari adventure was nothing short of fabulous. The exceptional service, the luxurious accommodations, and the personalized guidance of Isaack made this a truly unforgettable experience. I cannot recommend Soles Safari enough for anyone seeking a remarkable safari in Tanzania.
Thank you, Soles Safari, for making our dreams come true and creating memories that will last a lifetime!

Excellent Experience
We had an incredible two weeks in Tanzania with GeoDiscovery Tours:
First, we spent 8 days hiking to the summit of Kilimanjaro with an exceptional crew:
- Our guides, Brighton and Ezron, led us expertly and kept our spirits high with their entertaining stories.
- Victor, our talented chef, prepared delicious meals every day, even surprising us with pizza at 4000 meters.
- Hassan Ashiraf, our waiter and tea-time companion, ensured we always had enough to eat and drink, and he brought us warm water bottles to keep our sleeping bags cozy on cold nights.
- Betson, our summit porter, used his extensive experience to guide us through the challenging trek to the summit.
- Jackson, Noel, Wilson, Willi (aka Bob Marley), Hassan, Boaz, Frank the dancer, Amos the fast one, David, Willi, Bahati, and Isaya also provided invaluable support.
Thanks to this amazing crew, we all made it to the summit!
We then enjoyed a 5-day safari with our guide, Daniel, who was not only a skilled driver but also an expert in flora and fauna. He entertained us with fascinating stories during the long ride to the Serengeti and, with his help, we managed to spot the Big Five.
All the hotels and camps were superb, offering comfortable accommodations and delicious food.

gorgeous tour
My third trip to Botswana and this time I did it with the family owned Sekanka Safaris.
Directly after arrival in Maun I started with a scenic flight over the Okavango Delta giving a wonderful overview of the landscape.
After 3 days of home accommodation in Maum we flew to Kasane first staying in Waterlily Hotel, a good stay for Chobe Boat Cruises with a small boat (much better than the big ones!) spotting buffalos, crocodils, hippos, giraffes, many birds and elephants bathing and at the end highlighted by incredible sunsets. Next we stay in Pamarah Hotel enjoying the pleasant accommodation, delicious meals and nice service. One day we started an outstanding tour to Victoria Falls, the next day we experienced vulpture feeding, Old Victoria Hotel and the Zambesi River Cruise on the signature deck with extraordinary snacks and drinks which I would really recommend for relaxing after a long day. After these days we enjoyed again the outstanding wildlife in Chobe Bush Camp and Elephant Sands what gave me the most wonderful memories. On our tour back to Maun another highlight was the Meerkat experience in Makgadikgadi salt pan beeing so close to these cute small animals.
Perfect itenery, nice accommodtions and fantastic game drives with experienced guides made this holiday a long lasting memory and it was hard to find back to normal life afterwards.

Fantastic from start to finish
We did the Chobe trip. Pick up and border crossing was very smooth, everything was well organised. Our game drive was wonderful - we saw Lions very close, elephants, hippos, buffalo and more. Lunch was a delicious buffet (veggie food was good). The afternoon river trip was amazing, we saw elephants and hippos up close, buffalo and crocodiles too. The journey home was simple. Everybody working on the tour was helpful and kind. We would highly recommend.

Best Tour Operator
Spirit of Kenya was absolutely incredible from start to finish. Vanessa organized our trip for us and worked within our budget. She was so responsive to emails and very helpful with any information I needed. When we got there, we had the best guide! Charles was excellent and shared so much about Kenya and all the animals we were seeing. He went above and beyond our expectations and was our favorite! We have no complaints about Kenya and would definitely return with Spirit of Kenya and tell family and friends to use them!

The trip was excellent, we loved the availability and the team's recommendations.
There were a couple of issues with the itinerary, but everything eventually went very well and the team managed to sort everything out. The interaction with the team was excellent. We loved our trip and would definitely consider Viatu in the future!

Every aspect of the trip met or exceeded my expectations: fantastic experience!
I wanted the vacation of a lifetime for my 16 year old granddaughter and that’s exactly what we got. Every detail was planned out and all we had to do was show up! All of the drivers were professional and knowledgeable, and accommodations all exceeded my expectations as far as service and luxury. The Panorama Route is a must see and the safari part of the trip was exhilarating! We saw all the big 5 multiple times as well as many others! I will definitely use African Welcome Safari again for future trips!

Impressive - trip of a lifetime - highly recommended
We (my wife and I) have just completed a 10-day tour of Zimbabwe & Botswana, plus a day-trip to Zambia - Tongesai tailored the tour to meet our interests.
It was amazing, the trip of a lifetime.
Highlights included touring Victoria Falls, staying at Elephant Sands, game drives in Hwange, Chobe and Moremi reserves, boat cruises on the Zambezi and Chobe rivers, and helicopter flights over Victoria Falls and the Okavango Delta.
Very reasonably priced, good value for money. All accommodation and food was included in the price and was all high quality.
Communication with Tongesai (booking / pre-arrival) was good, and very prompt.
Gari, our main guide/driver for the whole tour, was excellent - highly knowledgeable, informative, experienced, professional, reliable, flexible, and friendly.
