Amazing guide!
Abdul was awesome! Very knowledgeable and very friendly. We were able to do and see a lot of stuff. His take on a game drive is unique and he knows where the action is! I’m very lucky to have spent the last 7 days with him! I highly recommend him if you’re planning go to Tanzania!
Epic Safari tour!
Our safari across Kenya was nothing short of magical. From start to finish, everything was planned to perfection, and the experiences felt like stepping into a dream.
We started at Masai Mara Serena Lodge, where we enjoyed the spa after a long day of game drives. The massages were rejuvenating, and waking up to the sounds of the Mara was unforgettable. At Lake Naivasha, we took a boat ride and floated right past hippos before heading to the stables—riding horses while surrounded by wildlife was surreal.
Driving through the Great Rift Valley on our way down to the endless savannah plains was an adventure in itself—the dramatic landscapes shifting from escarpments to flatlands made the journey just as memorable as the destinations.
Amboseli Serena Lodge completely stole my heart. The service was outstanding, and watching elephants with Mount Kilimanjaro and those fiery African sunsets in the background felt like a postcard come alive. Then came Salt Lick Lodge—absolutely the highlight! Sitting on the balcony, sipping a drink, and watching elephants gather at the waterhole beneath us was breathtaking, like witnessing a scene from The Lion King. The sundowner was magical: delicious food, the warmth of the fire, incredible entertainment, and lots of dancing that made the night so lively and joyful. Our night game drive was thrilling—we captured epic photos of lions under the moonlight.
At Taita Hills Resort, we explored the stunning landscapes, enjoyed another round at the spa, and even visited the WWI museum. The safari through Tsavo National Park was an adventure in itself. The food everywhere was consistently delicious, with staff at every lodge and resort welcoming us with genuine warmth and care.
A huge shout-out to our guide, Shem. His driving skills were impeccable, his knowledge of wildlife was inspiring, and his kindness and humor made us feel so comfortable. Shem is not only a brilliant guide—he’s a genuinely great person who became such an important part of this journey. Traveling in a brand new Toyota Land Cruiser made everything even more enjoyable.
This was, without question, a 5-star holiday—the best of our trips to Kenya, and one we will never forget.

Exactly what I wanted
I worked with King Solomon Safaris for several weeks to design a safari. The lodging was very good at all our stops. We visited the Ngorongoro Conservation area, NGorongoro Crater, Tarangire National Park, Lake Manyara National Park, and the Serengeti. My tour was well organized and a good value. My guide Amani was excellent and helped me to get great photos, plus he explained cultural areas and traditions. Solomon and his team were excellent, even retrieving my baggage that went missing with the airline and getting it to me a few days into my trip. A great experience!

Wunderfull experience, fantastic guide and professional booking
We took a 2,5 day trip to different park with the absolute highlight the Ngorogoro crater. Lots of different animals upclose and good explaination from our guide Jonas. You could ask the guide everything, on wich he always had an answer.
For lunch we sat on a beautiful picknick spot inside the park, on wich we ate good food. At night we could relax in our lovely hotel. So as a family of 3 we absolutely loved this trip! Highly recommended.

INCREDIBLE 3 Day Gorilla Trekking tour from Kigali!
We booked a 3 day Gorilla Trekking tour from Kigali with Standard Safari’s and it was INCREDIBLE!
The whole process of booking this tour through Coleb was so easy and everything went smoothly! We booked budget lodge options but these lodges were amazing! Great views, yummy food and super comfortable for us.
The Gorilla Trekking was a once in a lifetime experience and we couldn’t thank our driver George enough for hooking us up with a wonderful guide & group. Our second night was at Lake Bunyonyi and it was such a peaceful experience after the hike.
We had a boat tour of the lake the next morning and it was wonderful!
Couldn’t recommend a better company to book this tour through than Standard Safaris ☺️

Amazing 10 day trip to Tanzania and Zanzibar
We took a 10 day trip, includeing a safari and stop in Zanzibar. This was an amazing trip. Our guide, Eric, was superb, funny, and pleasant. He was attentive and looked for ways to help accommodate my older parents who have difficulty getting around. He was very knowledgeable of the animals, which greatly impressed my father. We were able to see all of the big 5 plus more. We wish everyone could have a guide like Eric.

Amazing adventure
We recently enjoyed a 4-day safari with Swahili Safari Escape, organized by Seth, and we can confidently say it was the trip of a lifetime. From the very first message, Seth made everything easy—his professionalism, warmth, and attention to detail gave us complete confidence that we were in the best hands.
As a couple traveling together, this safari was more than just a holiday—it became a shared adventure we’ll cherish forever. Every day was filled with breathtaking moments: the sight of elephants wandering gracefully in Tarangire National Park, the tree-climbing lions and colorful birdlife of Lake Manyara, the sheer magic of descending into the Ngorongoro Crater surrounded by wildlife in every direction, and the endless golden plains of the Serengeti, where we spotted cheetahs, leopards, and herds of wildebeest stretching as far as the eye could see.
Seth and his team went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. Our guide was not only incredibly knowledgeable but also patient and fun, always making sure we had the best angles for photos and the time to truly appreciate each moment. The lodges and camps chosen were comfortable and welcoming, allowing us to unwind together under the stars after each exciting day.
What really stood out for us was Seth’s personal touch—he treated us not just as clients but as friends. He understood exactly what we were looking for as a couple and created a safari that felt both adventurous and intimate.
We came back with hearts full of gratitude, thousands of photos, and a deeper connection to each other and to the natural wonders of Tanzania. This truly was the safari of the year, and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Swahili Safari Escape with Seth to any couple looking for an unforgettable journey.
Thank you, Seth—you gave us memories we’ll treasure for a lifetime.
