Perfect experience
We went on a safari weekend with Kima safaris and went with Steven who made our experience beyond amazing. It was so organised from start to finish and we saw the most amazing animals up close. Steven was great and made our safari experience better than we could imagine!

Our wonderful guide Likhwa was always attentive and tried to make every day special for us.
Even before our trip, we were impressed by Exec Africa's good organisation and communication. Based on a suggested tour, we were able to easily change or add to the itinerary according to our wishes. Our guide Likhwa (Lee) introduced himself before the trip and then picked us up directly from the airport in Victoria Falls.
The hotels on our tour from Hwange to Maun were well chosen and all the planned tours/excursions were private (except the boat trip on the Chobe River) and took place as planned.
Maybe you can get this or a similar trip cheaper, but we were very satisfied with the trip and this was certainly due to the good organisation of Exec Africa.
Lee was very attentive and always tried to fulfil our wishes. In Maun, for example, we were given a room right behind the kitchen (including the smell and noise). We expressed our dissatisfaction about this in passing and he immediately endeavoured to change our room without being asked. He also always paid attention to whether we wanted to take a photo or just take a short break on the way.
Overall, our trip with all the tours was cleverly organised and therefore very varied.
We would therefore recommend Exec Africa and our guide Lee without reservation.

Highly recommended!
My trip to see the Gorillas was amazing. Thank you to the Native Africa team and especially Chriss for making this a very memorable experience. I went for the tour alone and felt safe and cared for at all moments, would highly recommend.

Fantastic tour with good accommodation and great tour guide
From the moment we were picked up at Johannesburg everything went smoothly, the transport was on time, the lodge was fantastic and all the staff were so helpful and friendly and the safari tours were great, our safari guide was knowledgeable and we saw everything apart from leopard and cheetah.
Would recommend this tour with Mzansi and Zelda was at the end of emails, she answered promptly, sorted all changes we asked for and made the trip memorable.

The trip of a lifetime. We’re so glad we booked with Safari Soles!
We found Safari Soles through SafariBookings after getting some eye-watering quotes from UK travel agents, and honestly – we were a bit nervous at first. But from the very beginning, Douglas (our amazing trip planner) put us completely at ease. His communication was spot-on - quick, detailed, and so patient, even after 9 or 10 itinerary changes! He was always happy to answer any question (big, small, or a bit silly!), and he even shared all the relevant documentation to show the company was legitimate, which really helped calm our nerves before booking.
Paying the deposit was super easy through a secure online system, and from that point on, everything was seamless.
Once we arrived in Tanzania, we were lucky enough to be guided by Abdul, who was absolutely fantastic. Friendly, incredibly knowledgeable, and so dedicated - if he didn’t know the answer to something, he made sure to find out and come back to us the next day. We really appreciated his honesty and attention to detail. He also handled any issues on the ground straight away - when we were placed in a shared lodge that was a bit too noisy, he sorted it with the camp and made sure we had a private lodge for the next stay. Problem solved, no fuss.
We were lucky enough to see the Big 5 (plus so much more!), and the entire trip genuinely exceeded every expectation. From the authentic safari lodges to the smooth organisation and incredible wildlife, it was an experience we’ll never forget.
I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to book with Safari Soles again – in fact, I’d recommend them to anyone looking for a well-priced, well-organised, and genuinely unforgettable safari in Tanzania. Thank you to Douglas, Abdul, and the whole team for making this the trip of a lifetime!

Great value, perfect service, we enjoyed evry day
We had very good contact to Martin from Shanjoy. He and his colleagues tailered the quote to all our wishes.
Special thanks for the support as we had problems paying the online visa for Kenya. Great.
Our journey started from Nairobi to Lake Naivasha, Lake Nakuru, Masai Mara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, Tarangire, Amboseli. Including a ballon flight over the Serengeti.
All 3 drivers gave us deep knowledge about the animals but also about other stuff. It is amazing how they spot animals while driving. We would never find most of the animals.
The middle class lodges were wonderful. Great meals, friendly staff, great service, very big rooms. Perfect.
Before and during the whole journey we got support from Shanjoy. Day and Night.
We recommand Shanjoy and would do everything again the same way.
