Intelligent and Welcoming
I spent 7 unforgettable days on safari with Hassan, traveling completely solo, and I truly couldn’t have asked for a better guide. As a solo female traveler, safety was my biggest concern, but Hassan made me feel comfortable, protected, and at ease from the very beginning. I trusted him completely, and that allowed me to fully enjoy every moment of the trip.
Hassan’s knowledge of the wildlife, animal behavior, and the parks was incredible. Every morning he explained what the day would look like, what we might see, and answered every question I had with patience and enthusiasm. He also checked in with me throughout the trip to make sure I was comfortable, having a good time, and had everything I needed.
He went above and beyond to make my experience special, whether it was making sure I had fresh watermelon, juice, or coffee, or stopping whenever I wanted more time to enjoy an animal. I even found myself asking to eat meals with him because I genuinely enjoyed our conversations—they became one of my favorite parts of the trip.
By the end of the seven days, I felt like I had not only experienced an incredible safari but had also made a true friend. If you’re lucky enough to have Hassan as your guide, you’re in the best hands. He is kind, professional, knowledgeable, thoughtful, and someone who genuinely cares about his guests. I cannot recommend him highly enough.

More Than a Safari: A Journey Through Kenya
Our 8-day safari through the Masai Mara, Lake Naivasha, and Amboseli was an unforgettable experience. From the moment we entered the Masai Mara, I was deeply moved. Africa has something truly special—an energy that’s hard to describe—and seeing wild animals in their natural habitat felt like a dream come true.
During the trip, I alternated between the two safari vehicles, so I had the opportunity to spend time with both of our driver-guides, Nelson Simba and Collin Sembele. They were both friendly, professional and incredibly knowledgeable about the parks, wildlife and animal behavior. Simba was more comfortable speaking Spanish, but both of them were always happy to answer every question we asked.
Driving and guiding at the same time is clearly a demanding job. They have to concentrate on the road, search for wildlife, listen to the radio and check messages about new sightings, all while making sure their guests have the best possible experience. On some days we spent more than 12 hours in the vehicle, stopping only for a picnic lunch, and during the long road transfers they also had to deal with traffic, difficult roads and accumulated fatigue. It made me appreciate even more the effort, patience and dedication they put into their work every single day.
One thing that I particularly appreciated was the respect both guides showed towards the animals. At no point did I feel they were disturbing the wildlife just to get a better view. For me, this is essential because, after all, we are the visitors in their home, not the other way around.
Visiting a Maasai village was another highlight of the trip. Whenever I travel, I enjoy learning about the local culture, traditions and way of life, and it was a meaningful experience. Personally, I would also have enjoyed seeing more of everyday Kenyan life, perhaps by stopping in local towns rather than places mainly designed for tourists. However, I also understand the practical reasons behind the itinerary.
Overall, this safari exceeded my expectations. It was not only about seeing incredible wildlife, but also about experiencing the landscapes, the people and the unique atmosphere of Kenya. I will always remember this journey, and I am very grateful to Nelson Simba and Collin Sembele for helping make it so special.

Amazing service and fulfills every questioned wish and need.
As part of our humanitarian friendship mission in Kibaya Kiteto, we booked a Driver/Guide for the time of the mission and the days of regeneration afterwards. Our guide Dickson Emanuel was during the whole time mor than just a guide. He was a Driver, a Guide for explaining the tanzanian culture to us, a Teacher and Translator for the Suaheli Language, a giant help in any apearing circumstances and a really good new friend. For our following times of missions and holidays in Tanzania, we will absolutely book him again.
Thank you Safari Soles and thank you Dickson Emanuel for a wonderful time in Tanzania. See you soon again.

Amazing experience climbing Mount Kenya
Would really recommend doing your climb with Hyrax. We were not quite experienced in climbing, but the crew helped us a lot. Checking that everyone drinks and eats enough and is enjoying their time. It is an amazing experience and the Daniels are very nice guides

Friendly, good communication and flexible.
Me and my husband booked the 5 day safari with Ndutu green explorers and had the best time. John was our driver and he was so friendly and knowledgeable about the surroundings and all the animals! He was also a great driver and made us feel safe on steep roads. The accommodations were great with fantastic customer service and the food was incredible. We are so happy with the memories we have made and are sad it’s over.

Fantastic trip with an amazing guide!
Bush Craft Safaris organised an excellent trip for us, seamless from the airport greeting to the final day. Our guide, Mark, was outstanding. He is passionate, deeply knowledgeable about Uganda, and engaging to talk to.
Mark truly wanted us to have the best time possible. He went out of his way to find the best wildlife sightings on game drives, and even on long travel days, he added in great short stops to break up the drive. His attention to detail was immaculate (even ensuring washrooms were up to standard!). Highly recommend Bush Craft Safaris and Mark for an unforgettable safari!

Fantastic planning with SIA and Safari experience
I was extremely anxious about dealing with a company that wasn't in my country, because it's such an expensive affair but three of us had an amazing time with them.
Nuhu was very patient throughout the planning process as I kept changing countries and parks and days and camps!
They were on time to pick us in Arusha and our guide for the 6 day trip - Patrick was really great.
We were lucky to have him because he had a great sense of humour and kept us in good spirits while telling us amazing facts about the country, the parks, the animals.
I'm very glad I ended up going with SIA after doing some rounds of communication with the other guys. Like I said interacting with Nuhu was just so lovely.
Thank you for making this a memorable trip for us!
