Terrific 11 days safari in Kenya and Tanzania. Everything was well planned and happened as planned.
We started in Kenya with our guide Sego (who was friendly, knowledgeable and helpful with a great sense of humor) to Lake Nakuru, then to the Masai Mara and then to the border with Tanzania. Walter picked us up there and guided us to the Serengheti, Ngorongoro crater and Lake Manyara before back to border with Kenya. We were pleasantly surprised to see Sego again as he was waiting for us and took us to Amboseli NP (lots of elephants) in the shadow of Kilimanjaro before getting us safely back to the airport in Nairobi for our trip home. Soul of Tanzania and their guides were wonderful as we saw all the animals we wanted multiple times (and them some), the lodgings and tents plus the food were all excellent. We highly recommend Soul of Tanzania, including our planner Filipa, and guides Sego and Walter! Thank you for a truly wonderful vacation and safari. George & Marcia

Unforgettable magic safari week
The entire safari experience was amazing! I enjoyed every single day! I was the only person with the driver -gide Joshua and the week was really good! He tried all his best to find animals, be patient and to know at any time what I wanted to do, see.. I didn't know that the animals were going to be surrounding the jeep!! Heheh...I learnt a lot about animals names, behaviour...and I felt really comfortable and well treated by him. I brought some unforgettable magic memories about that safari week... thank you!

Absolutely with it
My wife and I decided to join the 3 nights 4 days Masai Mara + Lake Nakuru Safari and it did not disappoint. It was low season so it was relatively cheaper and everything was better than expected. The lodging, the food, the guide was all great. We got to see so many animals. It was truly a dream come true. Would recommend it to anyone looking to do a safari on a budget

Wonderful trip with Erick!
We had a fantastic experience with Erick and his team in Tanzania! From start to finish, everything was thoughtfully arranged—our safari guide was knowledgeable and friendly, and all the accommodations were comfortable and well-located. When we arrived in Arusha, he even took the time to give us a short city tour, which was a lovely surprise. During our safari, we were lucky enough to see all of the Big Five—it was truly unforgettable! Even with a limited budget, we were able to enjoy a smooth, exciting, and memorable trip. Highly recommended!

Our guide Erick Isack was truly exceptional! Professional, kind and a great driver and a tour guide!
Highly, highly recommended!
I am a nature lover so I truly enjoyed every second of this trip.
We saw many types of animals, had been going through rain and sun, and our guide Erick went above and beyond to show us everything, explain and take us safe through the Mikumi park. Not only that, he’s an excellent driver also, which we had opportunity to experience, when we went through areas where anyone would get stuck because of the slippery mud, he passed it without blinking.
Again, well done!
What an experience 😍

An unforgettable experience!
I joined the trip with a friend, and thanks to the excellent coordination by Lark Journey, our journey to Namibia turned into an unforgettable experience! All the guides were knowledgeable and professional, always putting us first and flexibly adjusting the schedule as needed (which even allowed us to see desert elephants!).
Along the way, we had many great conversations—not only did we visit beautiful destinations, but we also gained a much deeper understanding of Namibia.
I used to think this might be a once-in-a-lifetime trip to Namibia, but thanks to this amazing experience, I'm now certain there will be a second time! When that happens, I’ll definitely choose Lark Journey again.

A tour operator who plans with care, delivers with ease, and makes every moment feel personal.
We had the most incredible experience with Velam Safari — truly a one-of-a-kind trip! Everything was so thoughtfully planned, from our comfortable stay to the delicious, homely, fresh food that made us feel right at home.
As two single ladies, we were initially a bit skeptical about booking a safari, but Adam put all our concerns to rest. He was meticulous with every detail, listened to what we needed, and tailored the entire experience beautifully. His planning was top-notch and gave us complete confidence.
During the safari, Lawrence and Lolo accompanied us throughout, and we couldn’t have asked for better hosts. Lawrence was extremely professional, respectful, and so knowledgeable — we learned a lot from him. Lolo, on the other hand, brought so much fun and energy to the trip — she truly became like a younger sister to us! Both of them took such great care of us and made us feel completely safe and relaxed throughout.
We can’t recommend Velam Safari enough — if you’re looking for a seamless, personalized, and unforgettable safari experience, this is it!

African Adventures Safari delivers far more in real life than described on the brochure.
This was the trip of a lifetime and delivered well beyond my expectations. You read the itinerary and think this will be great but it was so much more. Coop’s knowledge accumulated over more than 30 yrs meant everything worked like clockwork even when an unexpected situation arose.
Coop’s organised additional add on trips for our group without a problem because his contacts in the tourism industry is broad and he is obviously very respected.
Travelling to Africa is an expensive trip from Australia but I feel I got incredibly good value with this company.
The design of the trip gave us a chance to see all the big attractions, 3 different parks, High Veld, Victoria Falls and more but the extra fun is the different and sometimes quirky accommodations from tents to caves and then 5 star luxury, a trip on the Elephant Train was fun.
I broke my arm towards the end and even that was not too much of an issue because of the intimate knowledge of Zimbabwe of Coops (African Adventure Safari) and his contacts, I was able to be treated and no-one in the group was disadvantaged by my medical still can’t believe how fortunate I was to have this experience. We saw the big 5 several times, a leopards walked under the back of our car, rhinos came and ate grass on the lodge lawn and then walked through the lodge and out the front door. We saw cheetahs stalking wildebeest, we took canoes on the Okavango Delta and met hippos. The trip of a lifetime….oh the meerkats! So much in those 29 days! Fabulous.

Profesional and well organized
I wanted to take a moment to share my heartfelt gratitude and appreciation for the incredible tour we experienced. From the beginning to the end, everything was exceptionally well organized, making it a truly memorable adventure.
Our visits to the Masai Mara were nothing short of remarkable. We had the opportunity to discover a diverse array of wildlife, traveling through the park and observing the animals in their natural habitat. The explanations provided about the animals and the wild life were both informative and engaging, adding immense value to our journey.
A special mention goes to the Albert, our guide, was nothing short of exceptional. His professionalism and commitment to making our experience unforgettable were truly commendable. He went above and beyond to ensure we had a fantastic time, and for that, we are incredibly grateful.. Additionally, Mara River guardian, who did an outstanding job of immersing us in the wild life.
Once again, thank you for organizing such a fantastic tour. It was an experience we will cherish for a lifetime.
