Spectacular
Safari Soles was amazing yet they still exceeded our expectations.
My wife and I went on a 9 day private safari with Safari Soles and our guide Dickson for our honeymoon. After months of research and comparing different tour operators we decided on Safari Soles and are so happy we did.
They were extremely fast to respond and easy to communicate throughout the planning process. They provided amazing recommendations and were able to tailor our itinerary specifically for us. We especially liked the detailed daily plan and custom map showing our route (although they continued to make it very clear that we could make any changes we wanted during the trip).
Knowing this trip was going to be rather expensive, once it started we felt like we weren't paying enough. It was truly a once in a lifetime experience.
Our guide Dickson was so nice and flexible. He was a dictionary of knowledge and really understood how to create the best experience for us. Dickson was also a great off road driver and one of the best at getting you into positions where you are close to the animals while also feeling completely safe. 10/10 would recommend Dickson!
The Safari Soles jeeps were one of the nicest we saw on our entire trip. We chose the mid range accommodation option and Safari Soles let us upgrade a couple of the accommodation options while being very transparent about the cost differences. Food was delicious and the staff everywhere was incredibly nice.
The encounters we had with so many different animals was so spectacular. 9 days was a great length and would recommend a minimum of 7 days to truly get the best experience.
In all, Safari Soles as a tour company was spectacular and Dickson as a guide was amazing. Would recommend both to whoever is considering this amazing experience!

Best Guide is Job!
We had the absolute pleasure of having Job as our tour guide for our 6-day gorilla trek and safari in Uganda, and we truly could not have asked for a better experience, especially as this trip was part of our honeymoon. From the very beginning, Job was personable, friendly, and incredibly attentive, and always going out of his way to make sure my husband and I were comfortable, happy, and fully immersed in the experience.
Job has an amazing ability to point out things you would otherwise miss. Whether it was wildlife, scenery, or cultural details. He made every drive and every stop engaging and meaningful. He was always checking in with us, adjusting plans when needed, and making sure each day felt special and stress-free. His planning was excellent: he was consistently on time, organized, and thoughtful about how each day unfolded, which allowed us to relax and truly enjoy ourselves.
What truly set Job apart was his deep connection with the local community. Because of his relationships and respect within the area, we were able to experience Uganda in a much more authentic and enriching way. It never felt like a standard tour, it felt personal, welcoming, and genuine. His knowledge, passion, and pride in his country shone through in everything he did.
Job didn’t just guide us through Uganda, he made our honeymoon unforgettable. We will always look back on this trip as something incredibly special, and a huge part of that is thanks to him. We would recommend Job to anyone looking for an exceptional, well-planned, and truly memorable safari or gorilla trekking experience.

Job is the GOAT (greatest of all time guide)
My wife and I visited Uganda and let us say that our experience was amazing.
Our guide Job, was the perfect guide. He is so friendly, kind, caring and very knowledgeable. His genuine nature and passion with his guiding approach and really made this experience unforgettable. He was always on time, and made extra efforts to ensure all our expectations were met. He went above and beyond what other guides would do. He made videos for us capturing the highlights of the day and even made sure that we were able to see the lions during a game drive by trusting his instincts and expertise. Job always brought the energy and made every day special for us.
If you book a safari in Uganda you need to request Job Francis as your guide!
Thank you Job!

Great Transfer
Our transfer to the Kruger National Park was smooth and comfortable and Tiyani was an excellent driver. He promptly collected us from our hotel near OR Tambo airport and made the journey feel very smooth while pointing out anything of interest on the way. Would highly recommend.

An absolute 10
It was a unique experience, both in terms of organizing the trip and discovering Tanzania from the inside with Luis, who has undoubtedly made his passion ours. The safari was incredible, and every detail was meticulously planned. Thank you to the team for their kindness, their contagious joy, and their dedication. We'll definitely be back.

Personable, knowledgable, adaptable a great wildlife guide
Enock was my safari guide. He is couteous, knowlegable about the wildlife and passionate about his country and all within it. I had a great trip with Enock and we managed to spot all that I wanted to and more. He took things at a gentle pace allowing me to spot, observe and absorb all the wildlife and birds around me.
He is reliable and punctual. The tours are really good value for money.
I have no hesitation in recommending Maasailand Adventure and Awareness
