Amazing experience from start to finish!
Communication started really well, Lucy helped me find the right package for my honeymoon, and continued contact throughout via whatsapp which was really easy and helpful.
We stayed in a hotel the night before/after the safari which was arranged for us by Savannah Woods too.
We were picked up by Alvin, our guide. The safari was for 2 nights and in that time we saw so much.
The Lodge (pride inn) was lovely and staff were so helpful.
Alvin made sure we saw all we wanted to, and focused on our favorites. Along the way he gave us facts about the animals and told us about life in Kenya which was great. We were recommended a hot air balloon ride as well as a boat tour to see hippos - both of which were amazing and a fantastic addition to the trip.
If I come back to Kenya, which I no doubt will, I would definitely book with Savannah Woods again and would definitely ask for Alvin :-)

You can trust East Safari Tours with your Experience!
Our Safari experience was awesome! Our family of four traveled with our two 20 year old kids. We did Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Manyara. Our driver and guide, Amani, was knowledgeable about the wildlife and where to find them - and we saw a lot of excitement. His expert driving skills on difficult roads was impressive. We also had a second guide, Emanuel, who was helpful and friendly. The lodging was luxury on the Serengeti and we were very happy with the rooms, food and service at all 4 resorts we stayed at - two of which were beautiful luxury tents. My only suggestion is to carefully select your Arusha hotel.
Obed was great with communicating and answering my questions while I researched which company I wanted to trust with this special experience. I highly recommend East Safari for your safari experience!

An Unforgettable Tanzanian Adventure
My mother and I recently returned from a 12-day safari with Safari Soles in Tanzania, and I can confidently say it was one of the best experiences of our lives. From the moment we arrived, we were taken care of in every possible way, with special attention given to my 70-year-old mother, ensuring her comfort and enjoyment throughout the trip.
Our journey was filled with incredible wildlife sightings. We were fortunate enough to see the Big Five—lions, leopards, rhinos, elephants, and buffaloes—as well as a rare sighting of five cheetahs! The abundance of animals we encountered exceeded all of our expectations.
A significant part of what made this safari so memorable was our guide, Innocent. His knowledge, enthusiasm, and kindness truly enhanced our experience. He made sure we were always in the right place at the right time to witness the spectacular wildlife and shared fascinating insights about the animals and their habitats.
In addition to the safari, we also explored the Kilimanjaro region with our guide Andrew. His expertise and friendly demeanor made our time there just as enjoyable and enriching.
Overall, Safari Soles provided an outstanding adventure, tailored to suit all ages and preferences. I would highly recommend them to anyone considering a Tanzanian safari vacation. Their attention to detail, exceptional guides, and commitment to customer satisfaction make them a top choice for an unforgettable safari experience.

A unique experience, the trip was planned several months in advance and the service was extraordinary from Loreto and its entire team, they take care of all the details and since I arrived I was received in a very cordial manner, I arrived sick and they were attentive to my health and always willing to collaborate at all times so that I could enjoy it to the fullest, without a doubt I made the best decision when choosing them

A truly wonderful experience with an excellent safari company
We have just returned from a truly wonderful three days with Suricata safari visiting the Serengeti and Ngorongoro crater. Lewis was our experienced driver and an excellent guide. Thanks to his vast knowledge of the animals and their habitats, we saw a huge variety including the big five and got very close to lots of them! The chef, Tito, produced delicious hot lunches with plenty of variety. Both Lewis and Tito were extremely professional and very pleasant. We thoroughly enjoyed our safari with Suricata and would highly recommend them for an unforgettable experience 10/10.

Altogether a wonderful and unforgettable adventure on the African plains.
This safari trip was truly amazing. Our guide, Lewis, was superb. His knowledge of Serengeti and the animals is immense and we got to see a huge variety of animals. He has a great sense of humour and is a very experienced and safe driver and made our safari a real pleasure. We had 3 lunches prepared by the chef, Tito, which were outstanding with local fresh produce including meat, fresh fish and extraordinary vegetable and fruit dishes. Altogether a wonderful and unforgettable adventure on the African plains.

The sixth big
One of the best experiences I’ve ever had with a company. Manuel was in charge of everything, and he knew how to politely manage everything we wanted. “Exec” should be named the sixth big in Africa!

A very fun safari with a very helpful guide
The four days were incredibly fun with music and lots of excitement. The guide showed extensive knowledge about wildlife and helped us understand what we were seeing. He also gave us insight into life in Tanzania and some customs and traditions of the local people. We saw the Big 5 thanks to our guide's patience. We always had fresh water. The first hotel (Omega) didn't have hot water on the first night, which can happen in Africa. I recommend bringing binoculars.

Very thoughtful tour operator, excellent value for money, great driver/safari guides
Patrick was very good in communicating with me and my friend before and during our safari. Our driver in Kenya, David was always prompt, provided us good info with the wildlife and always did his best that we get the best from each game drive. Same thing with our Tanzania driver, Abuu.
My friend got sick during our trip and our drivers always accommodated her requests to find a pharmacy and a local doctor. Abuu took her to the hospital when we were in the Ngorongoro area.
Patrick and Mama Savannah were so considerate of my friend's health issue that they upgraded our accommodation while we were in Serengeti so she had access to a doctor. Extremely thoughtful of them!
During our game drives, it was very easy for us to take good shots of the wildlife we were seeing since there were only two of us in the jeep. We were moving around freely so that we could take our best shots.
Accommodations were also great especially in Lake Nakuru, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro. The Kibu Camp in Amboseli was also nice. The only accommodation that I don't care about is the Enkorok camp in Maasai Mara. The tented camp was fine but the food left a lot to be desired for. The restaurant was kind of dark and just didn't have that great vibe to it compared to all the other accommodations we had. I probably would not call it as a mid-range accommodation.
Thank you Patrick and mama Savannah for a wonderful safari experience. I have already recommended your company to my friends!
