Unforgettable 4-Day Safari with Hyrax Safari's - Truly a Trip of a Lifetime!
We recently returned from a 4-day safari with Hyrax Safaris to Samburu and Ol Pejeta, and it was nothing short of incredible.
From the moment we started planning, communication with Irene was smooth and efficient. She was always available, professional, and went above and beyond—especially when our flights were delayed. She handled changes and special requests at short notice with ease and understanding.
Our guide, George, was fantastic. Friendly, professional, and incredibly knowledgeable, he exceeded our expectations. His sharp eye for wildlife led to multiple unforgettable sightings of leopards and cheetahs. He also introduced us to unique experiences we hadn’t planned for, like visiting the Mt. Kenya Wildlife Conservancy Animal Orphanage—an unexpected highlight with amazing close-up animal encounters.
The accommodations were excellent, especially Elephant Bedroom Camp. The setting was magical—imagine checking into your tent with an elephant waiting outside! We had several elephant visits during our stay, making the experience even more special.
Having traveled to Kenya multiple times, I can confidently say this was our best trip yet. The combination of service quality, unforgettable wildlife encounters, and our incredible guide George made it truly exceptional.
Highly recommend Hyrax Safaris—they made this trip one we will never forget

TrueVine gave us a thoughtful tailored plan to enjoy Uganda at its best
This was one of the best trips we’ve ever done! Uganda’s nature is absolutely stunning, and the whole journey was perfectly organized by TrueVine, from start to finish. Bernard was very responsive and made sure our wish could come true. The entire experience was smooth, memorable, and stressfree!
A special thank you to our driver and guide, Azaria, who made the experience truly exceptional. He was kind, knowledgeable, and always made us feel safe and cared for.
We’re leaving with unforgettable memories and a deep appreciation for both the country and its people. Highly recommended!

They delivered more then expected!!
This has been one of the most amazing trips I have taken. Kilimanjaro Adventure Safari Club exceeded my expectations, which were high to begin with. Our guide, Eli, worked hard in order to show us as much as he could. He was very knowledgeable and fun. Our safety and experience were his number one priorities. The accommodations were amazing and the food was plentiful and amazing quality. I am pescatarian and it was easy for me to eat at every meal. I was truly impressed with the tour!! Also, all communication from the main office was easy and quick. I would absolutely go with this company again

Victoria falls helicopter tour
When I had time, I consulted with the tour company and they suggested the Zambezi River Cruise and the Victoria Falls Helicopter Tour. Since I was going to participate in the Chobe Game Drive and Chobe River Cruise the next day, I decided on the helicopter tour as it was similar to the Zambezi River Cruise. They picked me up at my hotel, took me to the heliport, and took me on a 15-minute helicopter ride to view Victoria Falls from above. The view from the helicopter was of course interesting, but after the ride was over, there was a video screening. This was a video of the participants. They were filming from the reception at the heliport, and they filmed us getting on the helicopter, the view from the helicopter, and getting off the helicopter, which was interesting. I wanted the video, so I saved up and put up with it, since it cost $40. Looking back, I wish I had bought it.

An amazing experience
We spent 3 incredible days with our guide John, who made sure to make our safari exceptional. He was at our service throughout the stay and allowed us to see many animals including more than 40 lions!! Thank you to Mountains Warriors for organizing this tour! Everything was perfect from the planning of our trip with Rehema, to the accommodations on site! Shuhudi Serengeti Camp and Marera Valley Lodge were up to our expectations! We recommend this agency 1000% !!

Sociable, Accommodating, and Knowledgeable Guide
A work associate and I are in Tanzania for a month and we wanted to do a two-day safari over the weekend. Our guide was Victor, who was absolutely amazing. He was extremely friendly and knowledgeable, going above and beyond to give us a comfortable and exciting experience. He found out we were political science students doing research in Dar es Salaam and was willing to talk about our research interests and give us some insights on local political and cultural perspectives. I believe they told us he had been working as a guide with Mountain Warriors for 6 years, and that experience really pulled through during our trip. Even If we encountered any hiccups along the way, Victor was prepared and handled everything like a pro. The whole team is exceptionally friendly, and the main office served as a great break point after our safari while we waited for our bus. Overall I have major respect for the whole crew, not to mention the safari itself. We went to Ngorongoro Crater and Tarangire park, both of which had exceptional biodiversity and beautiful sights. Victor let us indulge in the sights and we didn’t feel rushed at all, he checked in very frequently with us to make sure we were comfortable and felt well informed about all of the areas and animals we encountered. And, when we fell asleep on the ride back, he very gently gave us updates when needed. I would stroooongly recommend to anyone looking for a great safari experience.

The sole of Safari Soles is it's Staff. Who go beyond to make your trip memorable.
Beautiful country, Amazing people!! Asante!
The three national parks were a wildlife paradise. Each set in a different landscape setting. From the moment we landed in Arusha, our Tanzanian safari was nothing short of magical experience. We booked a 5 day package covering Tarangire National Park, the iconic Serengeti, and the breathtaking Ngorongoro Crater, and every single day offered something unforgettable.
Angel from Safari soles worked really hard to create a personally curated itinerary. We had lot of conversations back and forth to fit as much things into our package. Discussing possible options for stays to our comfort and budget. The recommendations were spot on.
The lodges and tented camps we stayed at were comfortable, clean, and made us feel at home, with warm Tanzanian hospitality and delicious food.
Last but not least the safari experience comes down to the guide. Our guide Hussein who happens to be also a photographer made every bit possible to make sure we see as much wildlife, even the difficult ones like Rhino and cheetahs. He would stop the safari jeep at right angles to capture some great shots.
The transfer guide Chief. Who picked and drop from airport was so kind and friendly. He waited a long time for our immigration delays, and tried to help us.
Suggest planning more days for Serengeti. As the park is huge.
