Knowledgeable, informative, charismatic and a good story teller!
Fidelis was a great guide. He was calm and Not one question he could not answer about any wild life, species, animal, behaviour and had many stories to tell - After 25 years in the industry he knew the roads so well, navigated difficult and rough terrain. Felt safe in the truck with him!
We saw many animals, spent ample time watching lions sleep and buffalo’s graze.
The food supplied was 10/10 for eating on the go.
Orzon lights was a very well organised company, prompt from the get go and the camps we stayed at were clean, safe, food delicious and staff more than attentive.
Some big days In the car, as expected as the national park is MASSIVE- be prepared for big days :)

Trustworthy and Reliable
We took a leap of faith booking directly with an Arusha based company NASIKIA Safaris after searching online for reliable company that provides quality service. The owner Abas and his team did not disappoint us. They have orchestrated a trip of a life time for my family.
We were well taken care of wherever we go and the lodging and camping experience were excellent. Our tour guide Patrick is an exceptionally good driver besides being very knowledgable. We learned so much about the ecosystem of the savanna as well as the animals. We came out with thankful hearts on top of our newly gained knowledge and amazing experiences. It’s worth mentioning that the vehicle we had was outstanding too. It didn’t cause any issues for our 7 days trip unlike some others we saw constantly breaking down on the road.
I endorse Nasikia Safaris as a trustworthy and reliable company that provides quality services to their customers. HAKUNAMATATA ❤️

Fantastic Trip!
We had an amazing trip. Dennis was great with his communication and quick to respond to our queries. Our guide Augustine was very knowledgeable, humorous and friendly. We saw plenty of wild animals during our trip to Masai Mara including cheetahs, lions and cubs, leopard, wildebeest migration, zebras, giraffes, gazelles, antelopes, hyenas, jackals, ostriches, hippos, crocodiles, warthogs with cubs. We stayed at Mara Siligi Camp and their staff were absolutely lovely and very helpful. The camp itself had all the facilities and services we needed. Highly recommended.

Incredible Experience with Shema, The Perfect Safari Guide! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
My husband and I recently traveled to Tanzania with Safari Soles to celebrate our 9-year anniversary, and our trip could not have been more perfect—primarily thanks to our amazing guide, Shema. From the moment he picked us up, Shema treated us like old friends while maintaining the highest level of professionalism. He took care of making sure every detail was in place—coordinating with the places we stayed, making sure our dietary needs were communicated to lodges and restaurants, and ensuring every part of the trip ran smoothly.
Shema is incredibly knowledgeable about both the history and current life in Tanzania, as well as the wildlife and landscapes we explored. Every drive was both fascinating and fun because of his insights and stories. He went above and beyond to make our anniversary day extra special, which meant so much to us.
We always felt completely safe in his care, even on winding, bumpy safari roads, thanks to his excellent driving skills. The jeep was always spotless, fueled, and comfortable, which made our journeys that much more enjoyable.
I know he can’t control what animals show up, but it seems like nature loves him, because his ability to show up in the right place at the right time was incredible. Not only did we show up at just the right moments, but Shema did a great job of getting us close to the animals in a safe way that also respected them in their space. I deeply appreciate his discernment with this, because there were other companies that we're getting so close that the animals were clearly feeling uncomfortable and unsafe, and I honestly feel like those guides were putting people at risk. We never felt like we “missed” anything, but also felt like we got to watch things in nature without interfering.
Safari Soles is lucky to have Shema on their team, and we feel lucky to have had him as our guide. If you’re planning a safari in Tanzania, request Shema – you’ll have the trip of a lifetime!

Swift, responsive and effective
We were wary about visiting Africa for the first time. We were not familiar at all with the region and thanks to Phinora everything went perfectly. We had zero setbacks on our trip.
She made sure we always had a guide available, she was always available to clarify questions we had throughout the trip.
We told Phinora what we were looking for in our vacation and she provided great ideas. All accommodations, commutes, guides, even food was greatly planned.
Thanks to that the trip went smoothly and we had an amazing experience.
Definitely recommend.

Amazing Team, commitment and personalized attention at all times!
We book a 6 day Lux Kruger, Panorama & Private Game Reserve Safari, every transfer an activity was on time with the drivers and guides ready 10 minutes earlier. Our first hotel was Bambuu Lakeside Lodge, incredible rooms, amazing views, excellent food and the host always attentive for any request. Our guide for Kruger Park and Panorama was GREAT, Bhekifa is a local born in the heart of Kruger park, he was able to show us all the animals we were seeking for and share with us great histories and experiences about live and culture of South Africa.
Our second hotel for the Private Game Reserve was Tomo Safari Lodge, rooms are world class in comfort with great food all included, Guide was really nice and she found every animal we were looking for.
All the Kruger experience was 10\10 Brendon the owner was giving me info every day on the activities and have the pleasure of meeting him. I highly recommend these operator.

AMAZING EXPERIENCE all thanks to their professionalism. Ask for Jay to be your guide!!
Super Eagle Travel Tours was AMAZING and it was made all the better by the OUTSTANDING GUIDE JAY! Make sure you ask for him when you book your trip with Super Eagle. Basically, any safari experience is all going to depend on the quality of your guide and Jay did NOT disappoint. Our guide Jay had 10 years of experience and it SHOWED. He knew all the routes, key animal hiding spots, and best places to grab a bite if needed while on the road, as well as how to get to all the best excursions such as Hell's Gate or Masai Mara Hot Air Balloons. Seriously, this guy went OUT OF HIS WAY on the last day of the trip in the Masai Mara to get us up close to a male lion calling his pride during dusk. UNFORGETTABLE! Jay took us to Amboseli, Lake Naivasha, Lake Nakuru, and the Masai Mara. We all saw all the key animals, including the big 5 as well as baboons, ostriches, cheetah, cerval, all types of birds, hippos, and SO MUCH MORE. Jay was really exceptional - SERIOUSLY ASK FOR HIM!
Super Eagle Travel Tours is also an incredibly professional company. They were responsive and the itinerary was exactly what they said it would be. The accomodations were great, clean, and friendly. All hotels were either right outside or in the parks, per what we asked for. The food was great and kept us refreshed after long days outside in the parks. Whenever we requested documentation, like an overall plan or hotel receipts, it was provided to us right away. You won't go wrong booking this company - they know what they are doing, they are certified, and you will definitely have a great time if you work with them. One word of advice is to try and avoid half days in any park, especially the Masai Mara, as the parks are just so big and you may not make it on time. So, really only book full days in the parks, especially the big ones like Amboseli and Masai Mara.
Ultimately, it was Jay and Super Eagle that made our Kenya trip and first time in Africa and UNFORGETTABLE experience. You will certainly cherish the time you spend with them and they will go out of a way to make sure your trip is one that you will never forget in the best ways possible!!

Our tour operator/guide/driver has been a knowledgeable, professional and skillful.
My husband and I had a private 7-day safari trip (Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Samburu Sopa to Aberdare) with Aanika Karibu Safaris in Kenya and our experience has been phenomenal!
Starting from getting the trip organized from a world away, Robert our Trip Adviser delighted us by his great communication skills by addressing all our questions/requests with prompt responses. We were picked up at Nairobi airport by the Maurice, who welcomed us as a family member to drop us at our hotel. His friendly nature and excellent communication skills have won us over! Next day we started our safari and Maurice picked us up and introduced us to yet another outstanding individual, our driver/guide Edward, with whom we traveled for the next 7 days! Edward is a highly qualified and skillful driver who maneuvered the city as well as the jungle roads effectively and took us through out. We were fortunate in seeing the Big 5 and numerous other species in just the first 2 days!!
I would highly recommend the services of Robert, Maurice and Edward to all my friends and family planning future safaris in Kenya. We experienced a great reliable tour for the value for our money. Thanks!
