Incredible experience
We had an incredible, once in a lifetime trip with Safari Soles! From start to finish we felt well taken care of. We reached out to a bunch of tour operators but went with Safari Soles because of the positive reviews, price, and how helpful and responsive our sales consultant Theresia was in customizing our perfect itinerary. We ended up with a 10 day itinerary with 8 days on Safari and flying from northern Serengeti to Zanzibar. Our guide Elias was the best guide we could’ve asked for! He was super friendly, knowledgeable, and knew the best viewing spots for all of the animals while keeping a distance and being respectful. He even took me to the local hospital when I got sick. We saw all of the animals we wanted to see and so many more. We trusted Elias fully because he was so experienced. Highly recommend this company and especially Elias!

Exceptional service, seamless planning and an unforgettable family safari experience
We had an absolutely amazing safari experience with Telly Africa Safaris, travelling with our family to Serengeti and Ngorongoro. From the very beginning, the team was professional, responsive and engaging, making the entire experience smooth and stress-free.
Telly Africa Safaris handled everything exceptionally well, from the initial booking and itinerary planning to arranging our flights and transfers. We were even picked up from our home and flown directly to the Serengeti, which made the journey incredibly convenient.
The accommodation they arranged for us within the Serengeti was wonderful and added so much to the experience. Being surrounded by the incredible landscape and wildlife made every moment special.
Our safari itself was outstanding. We were fortunate enough to see the Big Five in both the Serengeti and Ngorongoro, along with many other animals and spectacular scenery. The organisation, reliability and attention to detail throughout the trip were excellent.
Most importantly, Telly Africa Safaris made the experience enjoyable for the whole family. We felt well looked after from start to finish and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a professionally organised, memorable and hassle-free Tanzania safari.
Thank you to the entire Telly Africa Safaris team for giving our family such an unforgettable experience.

Perfectly Organized
We had an absolutely amazing safari experience from start to finish! Everything was perfectly organized, and we felt very well looked after throughout the entire trip.
A special shout-out to Johann, our fantastic cook, who prepared delicious meals every day. The food was genuinely one of the highlights of the safari!
And a huge thank you to Daniel, our guide, who was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive. He made the safari so much more special with his expertise and passion, and we learned so much from him.
Leonard, our organizer, also did a great job coordinating everything and making sure everything ran smoothly.
Overall, we couldn’t have asked for a better team or a better safari experience. Highly recommended! 🐘🦁🌿

Cooperative, responsive, trust-worthy.
Experience: 3-day Maasai Mara Experience, private tour for two w/ Land Cruiser.
Tai adventures delivered an exceptional private safari experience for us. In particular James, our guide, went above and beyond to make the experience unforgettable: from his easy going personality all the way to his experience as a guide- he’s a lifelong ranger and international speaker who protected Sudan, the last white rhino. We just about saw everything there was to see in the park (including the big 5) and James made the trip smooth & fun at every step of the way.
All in all we felt very lucky with Tai Adventures being dependable and communicative, James the guide being knowledgeable, fun and flexible and of course the Mother Nature gifting us with this wonderful experience.

21 Days with Hekima Safaris !The Best Decision We Made
After spending 21 incredible days with Hekima Safaris across Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, and South Sudan, we can honestly say this was one of the best travel experiences of our lives.
We booked this trip for research, and to be honest, we were a little nervous especially about South Sudan. We couldn’t find any previous reviews showing that Hekima had operated there before, and because of the country’s reputation, we initially thought we should book directly with a South Sudanese company.
Then we spoke to Mopoo.
Instead of making promises just to secure the booking, he was completely honest. He openly told us that South Sudan would be a first for Hekima Safaris, but explained that he had trusted local contacts there, including a close friend he had known from Europe. That level of transparency immediately stood out. He treated us like people, not just customers.
A few days before our arrival, we noticed a few negative comments online. Since this trip was extremely important to us, we called Mopoo and asked every difficult question we had. He stayed calm, professional, answered everything honestly, and even decided to personally join us for the South Sudan part of the journey. That gave us real confidence.
Kenya – A Perfect Start
From the moment we landed in Nairobi, everything ran like clockwork. Our guide, Joseph, welcomed us warmly, and our three days in Amboseli National Park were outstanding. The organization, wildlife sightings, accommodation, and attention to detail were excellent.
Tanzania – Beyond Expectations
Crossing the Namanga Border was seamless, and our Tanzanian guide, Juma, was fantastic. He was knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about wildlife. The safari vehicle was even upgraded beyond what we had requested, making our experience even more comfortable.
At that point, we already knew we had made the right decision choosing Hekima Safaris.
Uganda & South Sudan – The Ultimate Test
We flew to Entebbe, where we were picked up on time by a professional driver in Hekima uniform. Everything was organized perfectly as we traveled through Kampala to Gulu, where we finally met Mopoo in person.
His energy was exactly as we imagined young, calm, positive, and incredibly dedicated. He explained every detail, kept everyone relaxed, and somehow managed to balance serious situations with a great sense of humor.
Then came the South Sudan border.
If you’ve read about this crossing online, you’ll probably understand why we were worried. It wasn’t the easiest border experience, but this is where Hekima truly proved itself.
Mopoo went above and beyond. He handled conversations with officials professionally, protected us from unnecessary stress, and made sure everything was completed properly without asking us to pay random unofficial fees that we had heard so much about before traveling.
Throughout the trip, we noticed something special about him.
He genuinely loves what he does.
Even when unexpected situations happened and they always can during long expeditions Mopoo, our drivers, and his local friend Ashel handled everything with patience, care, and professionalism. We could see he was constantly coordinating logistics, answering calls, and making sure every part of our journey worked smoothly.
We later learned he had spent years helping travelers through Couchsurfing, and honestly, it made perfect sense. Hospitality seems to be part of who he is.
Why We Recommend Hekima Safaris
* Complete honesty from the very beginning.
* Excellent guides in every country.
* Smooth logistics across multiple borders.
* Professional and well-maintained safari vehicles.
* Quick solutions when unexpected challenges arose.
* Personal care that made us feel like friends rather than clients.
As we write this from the airport on our way home, we’re already talking about coming back.
Thank you, Mopoo and the entire Hekima Safaris team.
Keep growing. Keep doing what you’re doing.
We will recommend Hekima Safaris to anyone looking for an authentic East African adventure especially if you’re planning a multi-country journey that requires a company you can truly trust.
See you again soon.
With lots of love,
Two very grateful travelers ❤️
