Best experience ever
Everything was amazing!
From the start, Rodah was really helpful and gave us all the information needed.
First we stayed at zebra plains camp which was amazing. The food, staff and drinks were great.
Our tour guide in Kenya,- Patrick, knew a lot and he made sure we got the best pictures and to see all the animals that we wanted.
In Serengeti, we stayed at heritage Mara camp and osinon camp, both camps are in the park so the experience was awesome. We could hear the wild animals at night and both camps didn’t have fence which made the experience even better.
Finally we visited the crater and we stayed at farm of dreams lodge. The lodge was beautiful and it had all the facilities that you could imagine.
Our tour guide in Serengeti was Eric and he was really helpful and he knew a lot. Also he shared a little bit about the Tanzanian culture.
Overall, I would definitely recommend Shanjoy, the experience was amazing. Everyone was kind and attentive and the best thing is that we didn’t worry about anything, everything was covered.
Also, at the beginning we were going to stay two nights at osinon camp which is on the center of Serengeti, but Shanjoy asked us and we stayed one night in the north(heritage camp) so that we could see the great migration. It a was a change that made all of the difference. We were really grateful that they asked us and they considerate what we wanted to see.

Fantastic! Perfect for a solo traveler on a budget.
This tour was perfect for me. I had limited time and a modest budget but I wanted to see Maasai Mara with Pavilion tours I was able to! - Peter arranged airport pickup who took me straight to the pick up point for the Safari. The safari accommodation was much better than I expected for the amount I paid - the tents had real beds and en-suite bathrooms even with hot water. Decent buffet food served as well. Highly recommended, for budget, solo travellers, with limited time.

Safety first, Summit second
Genes Adventures helped me summit twice.
The first time I went with an organised group.
The second time I organised it myself because I knew that Genes was the one!
Genes is very well organised.
Genes is funny.
Genes is a true leader.
Genes understands what is needed.
Genes has two goals:
Safety first, summit second.
This is why I am going for the third time, with...
GENES!

Exceptional – I enjoyed and learned from every moment.
We reached out to Wilderness Insights Safari and John, the owner, to plan our Kilimanjaro trek and a week-long safari – and the experience exceeded every expectation we had.
For Kilimanjaro, the guiding team was absolutely flawless. The chef consistently served us delicious, hot meals, even in the toughest conditions. Our waiter was warm, kind, and always ready to help, and the guides were simply outstanding – both in terms of professional knowledge and safety, as well as on a personal, human level. They kept the atmosphere light and fun, shared jokes with us, and went far beyond what’s expected – even carrying our bags (and sometimes us!) when needed. Their dedication turned a challenging trek into a once-in-a-lifetime adventure.
As for the safari, we were lucky enough to have John himself with us. His knowledge of the wildlife and environment, combined with fluent and articulate English, made every moment interesting and educational. Beyond that, he's just a wonderful person to talk to – always smiling, always responsive to our needs, and constantly going the extra mile to make sure everything was perfect.
The safari vehicle was always spotless, comfortable, and fully equipped – with cold drinks, charging ports, and everything we could possibly need.
This was actually my second safari with John – and without a doubt, it won’t be the last.
10/10 – highly recommended.

Friendly and reliable
We went om a 7days safari combining driving to the Ngorogoro crater and walking several days through the bush to Lake Natron . We had a lovely but demanding week. The crater gave us lots of meetings with impressive animals and the walking gave us insight in nature and the lokal population. We saw plenty of different bird species on our walk. You need to be used to trekking and sleeping in tents but nights together with our guides and the Masai guards were magical. Our cook, Kitoi, made us wonderful meals. Part of the trip we had Company with the Ranger Allen. He was worth his weight in gold with his perfect english, great knowledge about wildlife and good spirits.

A very enjoyable holiday made possible by Madagascar Natural Tours
We chose Madagascar Natural Tours for our 18 day trip
From start to end , we had a great time , we felt very at ease and taken care of.
I wouldn't say our trip was relaxing , we chose quite a heavy itinerary but the hotels chosen for us were superb!
The high light for us was the Island of Sainte Marie - don't miss this !

Delivered what was promised - great experience
Soul of Madagascar is great agency. Reasonable price compare to other tour operators, very patient - as we were changing our routes a few times adding a new destination points, everything was done very well - a few times quality of the hotels exceeded our expectations. For 18-days safari it wasn't even one failure. Very good guide - Eric Zozo - he shared a lot of info, always helpful. We felt very well taken care of. Also, what is very important on very difficult Madagascar roads - very good drivers. I will always recommend this travel agency.

Fantastic Experience
If you want an excellent Safari experience, don’t fuss about whether to choose expensive or cheap accommodation, but choose your guide very carefully.
Eman (Emanuel Edwards) is an expert and careful driver, who avoids as many ruts and potholes as possible for our comfort, and an incredible navigator, who can find his way across the plains without so much as a wrong turn. But most importantly, he has a vast knowledge of the animals and birds of Tanzania.
He is calm, patient, kind, considerate and wears a fine snaggletoothed smile. His main concerns are our safety and satisfaction, alongside a preservation of the wonderful areas through which he guides us. He is no high-fiving, foolish, jabbering joker, but a perfectly relaxed, polite gentleman with whom you feel immediately at ease and safe in his hands; very important when you are spending a few days with somebody.
He speaks very good English and seems to instinctively know how much information you want about the animals and birds which he can spot at great distance and with great ease, even when hidden in the bush.
My advice; choose Eman.
