Exceptionally well-organized, responsive and professional, with a truly personal approach that made
We had an absolutely wonderful safari experience with Kibo Mawenzi, and it became one of the highlights of our trip to Tanzania.
Everything was very well organized from the very beginning. A special thank you to Brian, who was always quick to respond to our emails, helped with all the arrangements and adjustments to our plans, and stayed in touch whenever we had questions. Communication before the trip was excellent and made the whole process very easy.
Our luxury tent was comfortable for group of 4 and had everything we needed, while still giving us the special feeling of staying right in the middle of the Serengeti.
A very special thank you to our guide, Issa. He was excellent — professional, knowledgeable, patient and clearly passionate about the Serengeti and its wildlife. Thanks to him, we had some truly unforgettable sightings. Over three days, we saw more than 30 lions, including spending almost an hour watching a pride of nine, three leopards — including one incredibly close to us on the tree — as well as a cheetah, elephants, giraffes, large herds of buffalo, zebras and many other animals.
Issa always knew where to go and how to position the vehicle, while never making us feel rushed. We had plenty of time to simply watch the animals and enjoy what was happening around us, rather than just moving quickly from one sighting to another. This made the whole safari feel very personal and memorable.
We were traveling as a family with children, and the entire experience was exceptionally well organized and comfortable. Three days felt incredibly rich in experiences and memories, and we left feeling that we had seen far more than we could have hoped for.
A huge thank you to Issa, Brian, Mohammed and the entire Kibo Mawenzi team for making our first safari such an unforgettable experience. We would absolutely recommend them to anyone planning a safari in the Serengeti.
Papa John was PHENOMENAL! He is so knowledgeable about the animals and ensured a great experience.
Papa John tour guide was the BEST! Just finished the 6 day Masai Mara, Nakuru, Amboseli trip and would 10/10 recommend. Saw all of the Big 5 and much more - great value and experience was better than anticipated.

Incredible 9 days safari in tanzania
Hello, we went on an 11-day safari, fully organized by Silas. First, we were able to visit the village where he grew up, which was an eye-opener regarding the harsh living conditions in some regions of Tanzania. We stayed 2 nights in a lodge run by members of the Maasai tribe. We learned about certain customs of this tribe, which was very interesting. Then, we visited Tarangire National Park, followed by Ngorongoro Crater, and then the central and northern Serengeti to finish. It is clearly a unique trip of its kind. Having the opportunity to spend 9 days in national parks surrounded by wildlife is exceptional. This trip would not have been as successful without Silas's guiding qualities. Indeed, he is an expert; he knows the animals, their behaviors, and where to find them. We were amazed by the quality of his explanations, his extensive knowledge of the animals and parks, his good humor, and his willingness to take care of us, whether during car trips, at meals, or in the lodges. He organized a trip that exceeded our expectations, and we are happy to have gone through him. I highly recommend this company and this guide!

AMAZING
My sister and I booked the tour by MoAfrika and we absolutely enjoyed it! Kudos to our tour guide Peter who made sure that we saw every animal well including elephants, Rhinos, giraffes and provided pearls of information about them. Also, big Thank you to our chef Isaiah for the delicious meal.
We definitely recommend this tour to everyone!

A super relaxing, enjoyable journey filled with novel and exciting things！
The driver and guide, Danis, was absolutely outstanding. He made tremendous efforts to find animals at every park, always securing the best photo spots in the front row. He patiently explained each animal—Big Five, Ugly Five, Special Five, and more—and answered all our questions with great enthusiasm. We highly recommend Danis! Although we stayed in a budget hotel, it was clean, comfortable, and spacious, with friendly staff who greeted us warmly every day. Our meals were satisfying and nutritious, with plenty of meat, eggs, and dairy to keep us well-fed. Overall, it was an incredible value—truly fulfilling my long-held dream of seeing wildlife up close!

Almost too Easy
This trip was all around almost too easy to believe. I booked the trip rather last minute and Piniel was prompt with replies. This company made the daunting task of planning a safari in Tanzania remarkably easy. There was a driver ready for us every step of the way, the hotels were secured, and the food was provided. I felt that my 10 day safari and Zanzibar experience gave me everything I expected and more. Our safari guide Pius was wonderful. We saw so much up close and learned so much thanks to him. The food was all good, the hotels and lodges were perfect, and the hospitality was great as well. It was easily worth the money and made this a once and in lifetime trip come true. I would recommend this trip to anyone! The only things I would mention to others is to bring more money than you anticipate for tips.

8 day Tanzania Safari to remember
We had an amazing 8-day safari with Safari Soles and are very happy with the experience. Our itinerary took us from Arusha to Tarangire, Lake Eyasi, Lake Natron, Northern, Central and Eastern Serengeti, and finally Ngorongoro. Along the way, we also visited the Hadzabe, Datoga and Maasai tribes, which were great cultural experiences.
Everything was incredibly well organized from start to finish. We hardly had to plan anything ourselves apart from arranging our visa, vaccines and showing up. The entire trip ran smoothly, and it was clear that Safari Soles is a very professional company.
A special thank you to our guide, Philip, who was fantastic throughout the journey. His knowledge, experience and dedication helped us see not only the Big Five, but also the Ugly Five, the Great Migration, and even two Mara River crossings. He always made sure we were in the right place at the right time and shared interesting information about the wildlife and Tanzania.
We also booked a hot air balloon safari through Safari Soles, and it was one of the highlights of our trip. We absolutely loved it and would highly recommend adding it to your safari.

Spectacular and amazing journey
Overall, this was one of the best trips I’ve ever had, and I’m truly grateful for the experience.
Our journey started with one unfortunate issue: our airport driver arrived late to pick us up. It was quite stressful, especially after landing, and honestly, it made us feel a little unsafe. Thankfully, after that, everything started getting much better.
Our first hotel was Cozi. It was a lovely place with good food, a safe environment, and very friendly staff. We had a comfortable stay there before the driver took us to the domestic airport for our flight to the Maasai Mara.
Once we arrived in the Maasai Mara, we met our guide and driver, Simon, and from that moment on, the trip became absolutely amazing. He was professional, friendly, and made the entire safari experience comfortable, enjoyable, and unforgettable.
During the safari, we stayed at three different lodges:
Kandili Camp ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
This was an excellent camp. The staff were incredibly welcoming, kind, and always happy to help. The food was delicious, the camp felt very safe, and staying in the tent surrounded by nature was such a unique and unforgettable experience.
Ziwa Bush Lodge ⭐⭐☆☆☆
Unfortunately, this was the only place we didn’t enjoy. There were too many spiders, the rooms felt small, the food was average, and both the restaurant and hotel staff weren’t very welcoming. Personally, I wouldn’t choose to stay here again.
Naivasha Kongoni Lodge ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
This lodge was fantastic. The staff were wonderful, and Adam was especially helpful throughout our stay. Our cottage was clean, comfortable, and beautiful. My only suggestion would be to improve the indoor lighting at night, as it felt a little too dim. Apart from that, everything was excellent. The food was absolutely delicious, and the entire lodge had such a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere.
Overall, this was truly one of the best experiences of my life. We got to see and experience things that many people may never have the opportunity to witness, and that’s something I’ll always be grateful for. The memories from this trip will stay with me forever, and I would absolutely love to do it again in the future.
Thank you for the excellent planning and organization. Everything was very well arranged, apart from the few negative points I mentioned above. I genuinely recommend this experience to anyone looking for an unforgettable adventure.
Nature wins every time. 🌿🦒❤️
