A well-organised safari with a fun and knowledgeable guide and loads of great wildlife
We had a great 2 day safari in Tarangire and Ngorongoro Crater national parks in Tanzania where we saw a lot of wildlife every close up and almost everything we wanted to see (only the rhinos eluded us). The days were quite long but the time spent in the national parks was amazing and unforgettable and I would definitely recommend the 2 day safari offered by Almighty Kilimanjaro. We were well looked after by William our driver and he definitely knew his wildlife and where to find the more elusive species like leopards, hyenas and lions.

Well done
Well plan with Jocky Tours and Safari.
Our tour guide Kikitu, thank you so much for this wonderful trip. The knowledge you have passed to us and the laughter we had in the past few days will be definitely the most treasurable memories for us.
I will come back again, see you Kenya!

Helpful Tour
better than the safari.In addition, she assists me with numerous additional issues like bus passes and SIM cards.The people of Moraka were incredibly helpful, and they continued to provide a hand long after my safari walk was completed. Strongly suggest this business!

Kenya Safaris
My trip to Kenya exceeded my expectations. The itinerary was well-planned and smooth, and the hotels were warm and comfortable. Apart from the occasional issue with hot water supply, everything else was excellent. Our guide, Kikuyu, was proactive in helping us spot animals, and we successfully saw the Big Five, making this journey perfect.

Amazing vacation
We first went to Zanzibar and then took a domestic flight to Tanzania and then back to Zanzibar. The nature parks are very beautiful with many animals. Ngongoro is definitely worth it. Saw a lot of animals. Spending a night in the middle of the Serengeti is also an adventure.
Zanzibar is an emerging country, in some places you only have to rely on your own hotel for food. I haven't seen a boulevard.

Incredible trip! Couldn’t have been better.
Absolutely wonderful safari with Safari Soles Tour group. I had initially started organizing with another 5 star Safari company but they made multiple mistakes and price was ridiculously high for almost the same Safari as booked with Safari Soles. Private safari with my 2 daughters. This is my 3rd trip to Africa, and 2nd time to Tanzania. You’ll not find kinder, nicer more accommodating people in the world. We stayed at the following
Upon arrival in Kilimanjaro - River Tree. Food wonderful. Staff helpful and kind. Accommodations nice and interesting. Food very good. Monkeys and landscaping and restaurant were marvelous.
Proceeded to the following
Lake Manyara
Tarangire
Northern Serengeti
Central Serengeti
Southern Serengeti
Ngorongoro Crater
Accommodations: Oliver’s Camp, Orankira, Highlands all by Asilia group. Incredible. Beautiful. Breathtaking. Food 5 star. Staff 5 star. Accommodations truly wonderful. Sleeping under the stars and hearing animals all night is a dream.
Ideas to make trip more exceptional - hot air balloon, walking safaris, open air jeep when possible, canoe or kayak, early morning and night game drives, flying in between some locations.
We have special dietary needs and we were accommodated and so much better than in the USA. Always fresh and healthy. Unique. Tasty. Even the food packed every day for our game drives was super delicious. Gluten free bread, latkes, sweets made for us.
For departure we stayed at Arusha Coffee Lodge. Colonial architecture. Wonderful food. Take the coffee tour.
Hands down the most wonderful holiday we’ve ever had. Thank you Safari Soles Tours and for our 2 week guide Innocent and our addition guide with the open air Jeep named Mona.

Second safari was perfect too!
This was my second safari with Isaac. The first time was with middle age women. The second with me and young adults. He tailors the safari perfectly and takes care of everything. Truly door to door service. His guides are wonderful. I am not sure how they do it, but it seems that they are the very best at anticipating not just where the big 5 are, but what will be the best viewing angle. I actually felt sorry for some of the other visitors whose guides were not as clever. The guides are so knowledgeable. Isaac customizes the tour so that it is truly the trip of a lifetime.
My brother and his family spent far more and saw far less. This safari is definitely a bargain- staying in the same glamorous camps.

The best 8 day experience
We spent 8 incredible days exploring Maasai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha, and Amboseli National Park. This was, without a doubt, the best-planned itinerary I’ve ever experienced. I was referred to ThinkScene Safaris by a colleague who had previously used this tour operator. All it took was one call to Philip, and he did an outstanding job of organizing an exciting adventure for us. Maasai Mara was truly remarkable—a real wilderness with amazing lodges and great food. I thoroughly enjoyed the VIP experience, especially our visit to Lake Nakuru, and the guides were exceptional throughout, including at Naivasha and Amboseli. Due to a medical condition, I needed regular check-ups, and I was well taken care of at every step. Thank you so much, Philip, for providing us with a once-in-a-lifetime experience!

Lush Safari provided a safari that met our requirements and exceeded our expectations.
Planning a 50th birthday safari for my wife with a party of 6 aged between 5 and 55 with a teenager thrown in was going to a bit of a challenge but everything worked out thanks to Lush Safaris who were able to meet my needs.
I had specific dates and Abbey changed our itinerary to suit, I was really happy with his speed of response and is always important to me. He generally replied within a few hours or overnight (given he was US based and I was in the Middle East).
From the moment we were met by Flouzine at the airport arrivals in Nairobi to our departure in Kilimanjaro we were taken care of all the way.
Lenny was our driver / guide in Kenya and Jospeh in Tanzania, both were amazing and flexible to our needs and keeping us advised on plans for the day, we made small changes as required and both were very accommodating.
Over the 8 days we saw the Big 5 as well the great migration river crossing and so many memories that will last a lifetime.
The accommodation was amazing and great to recharge for the next day. We even had WiFi in the tented camps, much to the relief of my teenage daughter.
Overall, an amazing experience made even better by the care Lush put in to arrangements before and during our trip. I can’t recommend Lush highly enough.
