A fantastic trip, really special experience
We are just back from an 11 day safari in Tanzania that we booked through Galloping safaris. Essentially this was a trip through 5 national parks staring in Arusha and ending with Ndutu plains and the central Serengeti, with a personal guide. We had high hopes for the trip and it more than exceeded them. I think we saw virtually every type of animal and bird we could see. That included plentiful sightings of cheetah and leopard which were highest on our list. We have been on safari in 4 other countries but the abundance of animals in Tanzania made it our favourite. Seeing the wildebeest come together in Ndutu for calving before the migration starts was something that takes the breath away and hard to fully take in even if you have seen it on TV beforehand.
We can’t thank Laurence, our guide for the trip, enough. He not only managed to find so many different animals for us but he made a real effort to understand what we wanted from the trip and helped us enjoy the whole experience. Not an easy thing to do if you are looking after a group for 11 days. You’ll be very lucky if you are paired up with Laurence as a guide.
Galloping safaris and specifically Walter made the process of deciding what itinerary we wanted to undertake, plus the selection of accommodation, very easy. We stayed in excellent camps which more than matched our expectations. Walter was very responsive to our questions and very flexible as we aimed to personalise the trip we were organising. The trip itself was flawless, everything happened exactly as planned.
I was initially wary of going direct to a Tanzanian safari company but I am now so glad we did. Firstly the cost was at least 40% lower than using an intermediary and the direct engagement with Walter who had local experience was a real plus. I wouldn’t hesitate to do this again and likewise would absolutely recommend Galloping safaris to anyone thinking of doing a similar trip.

Amazing. Recommended with no reservation !!!!
Recently we went on a Safari trip organized by Soul of Tanzania. An amazing experience. All well organized, care-free and made very memorable for us by the representatives of the Soul of Tanzania. From the initial communication to arrange for our journey, to the lodges, parks that they suggested to us, all were amazing and very well- exceeded expectations.
Our guide Dominik Meague was a wonderful guide, very knowledgeable of the area which made our experience so amazing.
We stayed at lodges and tented camps which were absolutely beautiful, amazing scenery of Tanzanian parks and landscape and with very friendly staff

Excellent reliable professional tour agency who seriously takes into account the customer's whishes
Our 12-days-tour through Uganda had been planned and organized by Atlas Safaris considering all our whishes we specified and discussed via extensive e-mail communication. The realisation of the tour fully met, even surpassed our high expectations. This was not only due to the perfect planning, but also to the high reliability and excellent improvisation talent of the driver. We highly appreciated the detailed and realistic organisation, in particular with respect to the driving times and the road conditions. Due to the broad experience of our driver we had the chance to see most of the animals expected. In addition, we appreciated the selection of accomodations - nice lodges and good food. It was a great pleasure for us that the managing director accompanied us for 2 days in order to verify the quality of his arrangements.

Amazing experience from start to finish
What a great vacation. Mr. Otieno was great at organizing our tour. He also organized us a small tour the first day to see the giraffe Center and the animal orphanage with a great stop for lunch at the Carnivore restaurant. We had 3 days at the Mara at the Sekenani camp. Beautiful place with exceptional service and ambiance. We also went with the hot air ballon ride (a real must to do). From there we went to lake Naivasha and stayed at the Elsamere. Wow! The animals just walk through your backyard. (Giraffe and zebras just walk right by). Great service again here. David our driver was amazing and informative. I even lost (forgot my phone on the boat ride) my phone once and he found it for me. This was a great experience from beginning to end. I would highly recommend booking with KWSS

Friendly and efficient - adaptable and helpful.
I recently led a group of teachers from the UK as they made visits to their link schools in the Embu region. I used SSS for booking accommodation in Nairobi, Embu and Nairobi again. They provided all the transport to the various schools and for the down time which included a safari in the Nairobi National Park, a trip to an elephant orphanage and to a giraffe centre as well as a bead factory. Danson was great with organising what was quite a complex programme. He was also one of our drivers along with Julius and Nicolas. All three looked after us really well. I highly recommend the company for its efficiency and helpfulness. I will definitely continue to use Savannah Sounds Safari.

This was our first experience in Africa,so we were not in a great position to know in advance what we were looking for except for that we wanted to go to Botswana based on the little research I have done.
We were so fortunate to have to have Sandi putting together our itinerary.Just perfect in any sense .
The lodges,the people ,the timing ,the transfer .All spotless.We are going back next year with Sandi for sure.
We are very thankful to her for doing her job with the attention and care she did.Congrats
