Professional and cost-effective, with responsive service and a fantastic guide.
My partner and I booked an 11-day private safari tour including an Ol Doinyo Lengai trek, and we had a really wonderful time.
I particularly liked that we were able to customise our itinerary to include everything we wanted to see, and that management was very responsive before we arrived to answer our questions.
For the entire duration of the Safari, everything was well-organised and so ran smoothly. In addition to this, the safari vehicle was well-maintained and comfortable, all of the hotels/camps we stayed in were great, and the meals were generous. Our guide, Peter, was absolutely fantastic. We found Peter to be friendly, welcoming, and very professional. Peter was knowledgeable about the plants and animals we saw on safari, and was an excellent driver. I always felt confident that if anything unexpected came up, Peter would be able to sort it out without any fuss.
I particularly liked that a set of binoculars was provided, as well as portable wifi. We didn't use the wifi very much as we were focused on the animals and the different landscapes, but it was good to know it was there in case of emergencies!
As for the activities, I felt that we spent a good amount of time in each National Park, and the Ol Doinyo Lengai trek was really special. Our guide for the trek, Dennis, was also excellent.
We would recommend AAA Express Adventure for anyone looking to travel to Tanzania for a safari, and I have already recommended AAA Express Adventures to several of my friends.

BEST SAFARI IN AFRICA
Booking with Serengeti Silence was one of the best decisions we could have made — it gave us a truly unforgettable experience.
To give some context, this was around my tenth safari, and without a doubt, the best one I’ve had in Africa.
First of all, our guide, Champion, was exceptional. His knowledge, professionalism, and incredible ability for animal spotting made all the difference. Thanks to him, we were able to see the Big Five and many big cats — including lions, leopards, and cheetahs — from an impressively close distance. His instinct and sharp eye turned every game drive into something exciting and unique.
I should also mention that this is a perfect time of year to visit, as there were fewer crowds, which made the experience feel even more exclusive and intimate.
The accommodations were excellent, the food was great, and everything ran smoothly and on schedule according to the itinerary. The entire team was incredibly kind and attentive throughout the trip.
I highly recommend Serengeti Silence — not only because of the quality of the experience, but also because it is a local Tanzanian company, and supporting local businesses truly enhances the authenticity of the journey.

Excellent tour company
I’m from Kenya and I’ve done quite a few safaris over the years, so I wasn’t expecting to be that impressed — but honestly, this one exceeded all my expectations.
The price-quality ratio is very fair, and everything was well organized.
Our guide, Champion, was excellent — very friendly and easy to get along with. He made the whole experience really enjoyable. We were able to see all the animals we wanted, which is really what you hope for on a safari.
Overall, a great experience. I would definitely come back and recommend them.

Our guide was John and we enjoyed every part of our journey
We are group of 5 adults and one child who came to Kenya with a well-planned itinerary in assistance of James from Sunnycreek. James provided guidance with hotels , food , places to visit and so on , which was very informative.
After reaching Kenya , John was introduced to us and was our guide for the whole trip. He made us feel safe as well as satisfied with his humble behaviour, secure driving , high expertise and his passion for educating us with all our queries. Overall , we had a lovely time with John and would like to recommend him as well James to our friends and family.

Excellent service, very friendly, caring and polite.
Sote Tours and Travel provided an incredible Kilimanjaro experience from start to finish. The planning process was very easy and organized, and the staff was responsive to all my questions and provided support to us during the entire trip. Before starting my trek, I had a pre-trek meeting at the hotel with Kelvin to discuss our trek and continue checking on me throughout my trip.
Our guides Seba and Charles were both knowledgeable, professional, and very supportive, especially during some of the more difficult sections of the trek. They were great ambassadors for their country and provided us with culturally relevant insights throughout our trip. They were very strict in watching our health references and at the same time they kept the spirit up in difficulty times. The porters worked hard on the task, literally carrying most of the things, preparing the camping area, and generally ensuring that everything we needed was ready when we arrived at camp.
The food served during the trek was plentiful and fresh and was very diverse for a high-altitude expedition. Climbing Uhuru Peak was an exhilarating accomplishment to achieve, but without the Sote Tours staff's dedication, teamwork, and professionalism, we would not have reached such a monumental achievement. Overall, I would highly recommend Sote Tours and Travel for one of the best organized trekking experiences as well as having the most reliable and supportive staff to ensure a very successful trek to the summit of Africa.

Friendly and helpful staff made our 7days an absolute joy to remember!
I'll start with staff. From drivers to rangers,from kitchen staff to cleaners..everyone we met was absolutely magnificent. I couldn't stress enough how happy we were. And even though they work so hard and some clients are not exactly pleasant people to be around,they are always happy and friendly. We admired the professionalism of everyone there. Something that made our week so great. So big shout out to everyone working at the lodge!
Thank You!
