Leader of the Pack
We had an unforgettable safari experience with KLA Adventures. From the moment we first contacted them, Nuhu was incredibly responsive, friendly, and helpful. He answered every question quickly and made the entire booking process smooth and stress-free.
Our driver and guide, Julius, was exceptional. Although he speaks less English, his skill, passion, and commitment were beyond anything we expected. Julius went above and beyond every single day to make sure we saw the best of Tarangire, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro.
What impressed us most was how quickly he spotted animals and action long before other guides. Many times, Julius was the first guide on the scene, and other safari vehicles followed his lead. He was like the leader of the pack — knowledgeable, focused, and always determined to give us the best view and the safest experience.
Thanks to him, we saw everything we dreamed of and more.
KLA Adventures are reliable, professional, and truly passionate about their work. We would absolutely recommend them to anyone planning a safari in Tanzania.
Thank you Nuhu and Julius for giving us a trip we will remember forever.

Levina creates professional organized and thoughtfully planned dream vacations.
This was my first solo travel and thanks to Levina and her team, I had a wonderful experience.
It was a last minute spontaneous idea, to fulfill my childhood dream, of visiting Tansania and seeing the Serengeti. Half an hour after my initial inquiry, I received an email, saying, yes we can make that happen, give me a little time. A few hours later I held the complete itinerary for my personal 18 day dream trip to various National Parks (including Serengeti) on the mainland and 6 days in Zanzibar in my hands. Because I was traveling in early November, with the begin of the little rainy season, it had to be a private tour, just me and the guide. Within an hour the flight was booked and the visa application done.
The trip itself surpassed all my expectations. It was wonderfully organized, the safari was amazing, and I saw everythingI had hoped for.There was so much wild life, and the size of the herds never ceased to amaze me. The accommodations were beautiful, the food delicious, the guides amazing and very knowledgeable, and the people very friendly. Besides the game drives, I also did several smaller hikes to water falls and visited a Massai village and a coffee farm, where we roasted and drank coffee together and shared a meal. The last days I enjoyed beautiful Zanzibar with a visit to Stone Town and a spice farm.
The entire trip was professionally organized and thoughtfully planned. Levina regularly touched base, to make sure that everything worked out well.
This could very well have been a once in a lifetime experience, but I really want to do it again!
I highly recommend Levina and her team if you consider a trip to Tansania, in addition to her outstanding work, that I can´t praise enough, I think that it is also important to support local businesses run by a woman.

We couldn't have a better guide than Simon. He always took us to the best spots & was so friendly.
We couldn't have wished for a better guide than Simon; he always took us to the best spots, and we were able to experience and observe all the Big Five up close. He was always concerned for our well-being. He was very friendly, and the whole safari was very interesting and entertaining. He was always very punctual, and we lacked for nothing.

Outstanding Safari!
We wanted to do something really special for our honeymoon and decided on a safari in Tanzania. Although we made this decision rather quickly, finding a suitable safari operator took a lot of time. There are so many operators, they all seem similar, and it was difficult to find any real differences between them.
So we said: we want a local company that knows the area really well, is committed to animal welfare, and keeps our money in the country rather than sending it abroad to someone else. In the end, we decided on Safari Soles, and luckily we made the right decision.
Communication with Irine (via email and later via WhatsApp) was relaxed and friendly from the start, and we felt very well taken care of. She understood our needs and wishes very well and put together our perfect tour after more than 10 variations.
Eric picked us up from the airport in Arusha on the first day and gave us an interesting tour of the city. We then spent the remaining six days on safari with our guide Chris, and it was absolutely fantastic! Chris went to so much trouble, had an answer to all our questions, and has such a good sense of where certain animals are likely to be found. Thanks to him, we saw two leopards, lots of lion prides, and hyenas, and he was even the first of all the other guides to spot a distant rhino on our day in Ngorongoro Crater. He also kept asking us how we were doing, responded to our needs, and showed us at least ten times as many animals as we had planned to see. That was crazy and so amazing!
We couldn't have asked for a better guide than Chris! He's just a really really cool guy and we had the best time with him. Asante sana, Chris!!
We would also like to thank the entire Safari Soles team for their dedication and support when we were stuck at our accommodation during the riots surrounding the elections in Arusha, as our flight was canceled. This showed us how much Safari Soles cares about its customers (even in difficult times).
Thank you all for this wonderful and special trip, which will always remain in our hearts.

An Amazing Experience with Wildebeest Footsteps Adventures Highly Recommended!
We are truly grateful that we chose this safari experience. Everything was flawlessly organized, and the trip exceeded our expectations in every way. It’s astonishing how much we were able to witness in just two days while visiting Tarangire National Park and the Ngorongoro Crater wildlife encounters and scenery that we will never forget.
Our guide, James, was absolutely exceptional. He consistently went above and beyond to ensure we saw as much as possible, and his dedication and effort made our safari unforgettable. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide.
The lodge where we stayed offered delicious meals that were far beyond what we expected every dish was outstanding.
I wholeheartedly recommend this company to anyone planning a safari in Tanzania. They provide an experience that is both memorable and beautifully organized.

Excellent Value for Money and High Quality Service from Great Tour Operator
We cannot recommend Wildebeest Footsteps Adventures highly enough. From the very beginning, Erick was incredibly attentive responding quickly to all our questions, easing our concerns, and customizing our itinerary exactly to our preferences.
During our safari, our guide Lucas truly stood out. His warm personality, extensive knowledge of wildlife, and even his impressive mechanical skills made our journey smooth, educational, and enjoyable.
We were fortunate to spot all of the Big Five, which made the experience even more unforgettable. Overall, our safari exceeded expectations, and we confidently give Wildebeest Footsteps Adventures our highest recommendation.
A big heartfelt thank you to Erick, Lucas, and the entire Wildebeest Footsteps Adventures team! We look forward to traveling with you again in the near future.

Four Nights … Big Five - David Sasine
I’ll say it again in case you missed it in the title: four nights… Big Five… and five leopards - three adults and two cubs.
This trip was unreal.
From the moment David picked us up from our hotel for my partner’s 30th-birthday safari, it was obvious we were with someone exceptional; patient, warm, and genuinely invested in making the experience unforgettable.
The drive from Nairobi to the Mara set the tone. Smooth, calm, and just the right amount of information. David somehow knows exactly when to share something fascinating and when to let you sit back and enjoy the landscape. It’s a balance most guides don’t get right. He nails it effortlessly.
Every single morning, he showed up ready to go, fully committed to helping us track down the more elusive animals. His energy never dipped. Ours didn’t either and it worked. Over four nights, we saw it all: lions, buffalo, elephants, both kinds of rhinos… and then the leopards. Not one, not two, FIVE, including two tiny cubs. Yes, luck played a part, but there’s also something to be said about being with a guide whose instincts are that sharp.
We made a few adjustments to our itinerary, and David didn’t just accommodate he elevated. Every alternative he suggested ended up being the right call. He even helped me organize a birthday surprise in a Maasai village, which turned into one of the most authentic cultural moments of the entire trip.
We arrived with David as our guide and left with him as a friend. There’s no question: we’re coming back to Kenya!
If you’re considering a safari and fortunate enough to have David as your guide, you can trust you’re getting a truly world-class and unforgettable experience.
