Overall professional operator and great Safari experience
We booked the Safari a month in advance and planned the tour with a contact from Suricata on WhatsApp. They provided a tailored Safari schedule and included our special requests in the itinerary. The day before the Safari, the briefing was quite spontaneous and could have been a bit more detailed. However, the Safari trip was great and well planned, with very good accommodations, food and hospitality. Our tour guide Jeremy was an amazing driver, he made sure we saw everything and we felt very safe. However, if you would prefer to get more information on the animals and surroundings, we would suggest to include this in your request to Suricata. Overall, great experience, very thankful that we were able to do the Safari!!

I love the staff!
We had an incredible time exploring Nairobi National Park and the CBD with Michael and Naomi!
Naomi made booking effortless with her quick responses, and Michael blew us away—he knows every bird by name!
They are knowledgeable, patient, very easy to talk to, and what I loved the most was that they were wonderfully authentic.
Highly recommended!

Worth the price. Everything is well planned, camp accommodations are very good, food is perfect. And the guide/driver is very patient, gives a lot of explanations and answers all question. I definitely recommend Jungleroam and ask Samuel as guide

Very satisfied with Safari Soles. the sales and guide are really wonderful.
I’m very happy with Safari Soles’ service.
Jackson was my first point of contact, and he was a big reason I chose Safari Soles. He replied to emails very quickly—it felt like he never had time off. He also understood what I needed efficiently, and we communicated very smoothly. And his plan was really cost-effective and totally fits our budget.
Another thing I really appreciated was that once my safari started, all the hotel and sight photos Jackson sent me matched exactly what I saw, and the itinerary was followed 100%.
Of course, one other key person made this happen: our guide, Abu. He was very professional and had deep knowledge of animals, plants, and culture. I really enjoyed his briefing before each day’s drive. It was like a full lecture—I was totally into it and learned so much.
The only time I cried on this trip was because of Abu. He didn’t just put his knowledge into practice; he was also very responsible. When we were staying at a camp in northern Serengeti, an angry elephant charged toward our dining area. Abu was the only one who ran out and used professional hand signals to defuse the situation. Afterward, he even took the initiative to teach the camp staff how to drive elephants away.
He also had a good sense of boundaries. He gave us space to chat with each other, and joked with us at the right moments to keep things lively. Finally, I’m very grateful that after each day’s drive, after making sure we all went to rest, he carefully cleaned the vehicle. He was actually the most tired person every day, because he had to drive for long hours and take care of us. This really mattered—it meant we could take photos through the cleanest windows every day!
All in all, the whole 9-day trip, from the first communication to getting home safely, was very smooth. Thanks to Safari Soles for giving me a reason to return to Africa!
Of course, it would be even better if information like airport pickup and drop-off were shared before I asked, even though Safari Soles had already arranged everything.

Unforgettable experience in Masai Mara
The safari in the Masai Mara was an amazing experience. We were lucky enough to see the Big Five! We saw countless elephants, three black rhinos (one of them very close!), two leopards, a cheetah with her cubs, at least five lions, and many buffaloes, hippos, crocodiles, giraffes, baboons, gnus, zebras, wild boars, hyenas, and birds of all kinds.
I was travelling alone, but the group was very nice and we soon had a friendly connection.
My accommodation was the cheapest tent option available, so I didn't have particularly high expectations. However, it turned out to be better than expected, with a proper bed, a very useful mosquito net, and even a private bathroom. Food and drinking water were also provided.
Our guide, Papa Johns, is truly a master of his job. He knew so much about the animals and their behaviour, and his passion and enthusiasm for wildlife were evident throughout the safari. On top of that, he was kind and considerate towards both his guests and his colleagues. It was clear that he was well respected and appreciated by the people around him, and he handled every unexpected event with confidence and professionalism.
A fantastic experience, with incredible wildlife and an outstanding guide. I would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting the Masai Mara!

Highly recommended: Emmy Safaris & Tours
I want to highly recommend Emmy Safaris & Tours. We booked a 3-day safari with them covering Tarangire, Ngorongoro Crater, and the local tribes.
Right from the start, their communication was excellent. Prior to our arrival, they kept in direct touch, answered all our questions promptly, and were incredibly accommodating with all of our requests. They took care of everything seamlessly—including all internal flights, round-trip transfers from our hotel in Zanzibar, meals, and an unforgettable safari experience.
Our guide, Nick, was wonderful—friendly, professional, and extremely knowledgeable. He managed to spot all of the Big Four for us on this trip, and even spotted a cheetah, which is quite rare in Tarangire!
Thanks to Emmy Safaris & Tours, we had a perfect experience from start to finish. We couldn’t have asked for a better trip!
