Peak Season Safari have been faultless in organising our vacation.
Fredrick endured 18 months of messages to build our itinerary.
He advised us all the way through ensuring we were not disappointed. Fredrick’s advice was highly valuable and did not disappoint.
Every part of our vacation was perfect and where there were doubts, Fredrick was only a message or call away to put things right.
Our accommodation and drivers were faultless.
Without doubt I would highly recommend Peak Season Africa Safaris.

The Quintessential Safari Experience for a Couple
As a couple, we did a private 7 day trip with 5 days on safari in Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater and only wish that we had more time to spend with Safari Soles! We loved every minute of the trip. Tons of wildlife sightings including large herds of elephants, prides of lions and their cubs, cheetahs, the Great Migration of wildebeest and zebras and so much more. Our safari guide Jonathon (Jonas) was knowledgeable, informative, welcoming and simply a very enjoyable person to spend time with. He truly was the perfect safari guide and ambassador for Tanzania. Everyone at Safari Soles was incredibly friendly and helpful, from the time of enquiry all the way through the end of the trip. Very easy to book and work with. All the accommodations arranged by them were top notch. It was a very hassle free trip. We got to sit back and enjoy the beautiful wonders of Tanzania. We’ve been on many trips together around the world and this was easily one of our favorites, many thanks to Safari Soles.

We had a great time!
We had such a good time with Ramja Safaris! They were really responsive whenever we had questions or requests, which made everything super easy.
Our guide, Patrick, was amazing and seriously good at spotting animals (we saw way more than we expected!).
Overall, it was a smooth and memorable trip. Would definitely recommend them if you’re planning a safari!

A once in a lifetime experience
Communication from the start was fantastic, with the tour operator answering many questions through WhatsApp very quickly and promptly. We also were welcomed at the airport and taken to our hotel, the company were flexible and looked after us well. We chose the mix accommodation tour and I think it gave a great introduction to an African Safari.
We saw many animals, the big highlight being a leopard in the Serengeti. We also spotted Cheetah, Honey Badgers, Hippos etc… it was a fantastic experience. Our guide was knowledgeable and was always on hand to answer any questions. As the roads can be quite bumpy, he was also quick to fix any problems with the vehicle.
Food provided was good and we really liked the fridge in the back of the jeep to provide drinking water and even alcohol, this was a really nice touch.
I can’t praise our guide enough for finding us a leopard in the Serengeti so thanks again for being patient and knowing the territory of the leopard, this meant we waited in the exact right spot it ended up walking past!
Thank you for an unreal experience!

Trip of a life time
We booked an eight day/seven night safari package to Kenya with Sunset Adventures. From the very beginning the communication with Emmanuel was flawless. He put together an initial itinerary for us and then provided us with suggestions and improvements which would make more effective use of our time and cut down on travel times.
He responded quickly to emails and nothing was too much trouble. He arranged for his representative to meet us at our hotel in Nairobi and we were then introduced to our driver/guide. He was a very experienced guide and gave us a lot of information throughout our trip. He tailored the day and the game drives to suit our needs and ensure we saw a huge variety of animals.
The accommodation we stayed at was very clean and comfortable and the variety of food served and the service of the staff was excellent.
We stayed at three lodges and two tented accommodations. One of the tented camps was absolutely stunning and the other offered a watering hole where we witnessed a herd of elephants and two lions.
I would highly recommend using Sunset Adventures as we had the most amazing experience with them from start to finish.

Amazing 5-Day Safari in Kruger + Panorama Route
We had an amazing time on our safari. Our guide, Barney, was incredibly knowledgeable about the animals and the park and always made sure we had the best experience. He was patient and gave us plenty of time to watch the animals and take pictures. We were lucky to see four of the Big Five (just missing rhinos), and we saw a wide variety of other wildlife too. All of the accommodations were great. At the Sabie River Bush Lodge, we got to see elephants from our tents, and at Satara, we got to go on a sunset drive. Kruger is such an amazing place, and this tour truly highlighted everything Kruger has to offer. Ending the trip with the Panorama Route was beautiful and a perfect way to wrap up the trip.

Full on, fun and exciting experience
Very well organised - we were picked up from our hotel on time. Trf from Jo'berg to Tremisana does take most of the day, but you stop for lunch in a lovely little town, at a great restaurant. As soon as we arrived at the lodge, we were straight out on a sunset game drive, and then on to the bush bbq - make sure you wrap up warm for the drive (I'd recommend a hat, scarf and gloves if you can stand to take things like that on holiday!)
The next day was an early start for the sunrise drive, but then we had some chill out time during the day, which was much needed by that stage. Sunset drive was great, with a some drinks and nibbles, and a lovely lookout point to watch the sub go down.
The next two days were less hectic - sensible get up time for the approx 1 hour drive to Kruger, with full day drives on both days. The rest stop and restaurant is great - lots of choice on the menu.
Our final day was the drive back to Jo'berg, but via the Blyde River Canyon, which is spectacular. A real treat and a good opportunity to get some final souvenirs.
All of the rangers and guide were very friendly and knowledgable. Mama D is a legend - lovely food and they were able to cater for vegetarian and vegan needs in our group (although a couple of times the vegan dessert was a piece of fruit). Be mindful though - dinner is served quite late and then we tended to go straight to bed. That combined with being driven everywhere and I felt my waistline grow every day!
Accommodation at Tremisana is okay - a bit basic and nothing to write home about, but then you don't spend much time in your room anyway. The site itself is lovely, with a communal dining area (the Lapa) that overlooks a small clearing - we had hyenas and honey badgers there most evening and were treated to a full herd of elephants one morning.
Drinks are reasonably priced, as are the food prices in the rest stops in Kruger.
I'd really recommend this safari to anyone. 5 days seemed perfect to get the most from Kruger. We saw a few packs of lions and a couple of rhinos, as well as the usual elephants, giraffes, zebras etc. No leopard unfortunately - maybe next time?!

Always available to answer questions and overall a great guy
Really enjoyed visiting Tarangire and NgoroNgoro. The sights were beautiful and the guide was very prepared and available at all times. Even the food servings were good. The overnight stay at the campsite was also quite enjoyable, as the dinner was accompanied by traditional dancing and live music.
Highly recommended!

Amazing Safari experience
Our safari with Shafino Wildlife Safaris was an unforgettable experience. From the route to the accommodations, everything was perfectly organized, but what truly made it special was Shafino himself:
Shafino is not only a fantastic guide, but also a former mechanic, an excellent driver, and a walking wildlife encyclopedia. He didn’t just know everything about the big animals, he could even identify every bird we saw by name, often before we had even spotted them ourselves. He also shared fascinating insights.
In a very challenging situation he gave us the perfect view of the Mara River crossing, something we will never forget :)
This was our first safari and there was not a single question he couldn‘t answer.
What really stood out was how much effort he put into making the most of every moment. He was constantly in contact with other guides to stay informed and position us for the best sightings. We always felt safe, well cared for, and in the best hands even when the terrain got rough.
At one point, he even helped another driver repair their vehicle, his mechanical background is clearly a huge asset.
The lodges and camps he arranged for us were also excellent: beautiful, comfortable, and perfectly located for each day’s adventure.
We’re deeply thankful for this once-in-a-lifetime trip and can wholeheartedly recommend Shafino Wildlife Safaris.
Asante sana Shafino!
