Mandela was so kind and knowledgeable!
Twalbu and Humphrey were amazing hosts from start to finish. We were picked up at the airport and they made sure we had a place to stay and dropped us with our guide the next morning for the safari. Afterwards, they even got us bus tickets to our next location and waited with us at the bus depot to make sure we boarded okay! The safari itself was great as well. Our guide made sure we saw so much and the chef kept us very well fed. It was a great experience and I can’t recommend this company highly enough!

Mufasa Tours Delivers the Big Five
Over two safaris, one on the Maasai Mara National Reserve and one at Nairobi National Park, I was able to see and photograph the African Big Five, including the elusive leopard! Naftali was an excellent guide and fun companion on a 3-day Maasai Mara tour, we saw so much cool animals!
And Kevin on the Nairobi NP tour - wow that guy knows his stuff, very knowledgeable! I would highly recommended Mufasa - the pricing is fair, the guides are top notch, not a hassle at all setting things up, all communications worked, no delays or issues.
Five stars you guys, thanks much!

Unique and amazing experience
We had 6 day safari trip in Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Lake Manyara parks. By mistake (our fault) we booked safari in July not in June and a few days prior to arrival to Arusha I wanted to confirm the dates and then we became aware of our mistake. But that wasn't a problem for Bryson from Safari Soles who reorganized everything so we could have out trip in June. The communication with Bryson is excellent. He answered all our questions and provided all necessary information. After the safari he come to meet us in Arusha to ensure we had a good time.
We were able to experience the Great Migration at its peak, that was truly amazing. We booked budget option with sleeping on the camping and I recommend that option to anyone who want during this trip to be as close to the nature as possible. In Serengeti during the night antelopes and hyenas were coming close to the tents and in Ngorongoro the buffalos were grazing on th grass just outside our tent. We saw during this trip a lot of lions, cheetahs and were also able to spot rhinos in Ngorongoro.
Our tour guide Isaac had an extensive knowledge about animals in the parksand was gladly answering our questions. The food was really fresh and tasty thanks to out chef Godfrey.
To summarize Safari Soles is a great tour operator, very flexible, caring about the clients and communication is wonderful.

Dream Safari! Could not ask for better.
From start to finish my experience with Oranje Safaris was perfect.
Harry was so patient with all the queries and adjustments that myself and my son made to our safari itinerary from the UK when we booked with him.
We wanted to see everything!.. in just 2 nights and 3 days. He was so helpful and understanding of our needs and ultimately helped us put together an amazing safari experience, and one that we will never forget! Harry also arranged the itinerary around the fact that we had adopted an elephant from the Sheldrick Orphanage, and we wanted to visit him at the Voi Stockade, which was a magical, emotional, and unforgettable experience.
Harry came to meet us a few days before our safari to go through the itinerary and answer any questions we had... The morning of the safari came and at 4.30 am, bleary eyed but so excited, we met our driver for the next 3 days, Alex...
Alex was the kindest, most professional, friendly, helpful and environmentally conscious driver we could have wished for. An absolutely treasure chest of knowledge, sharing information about everything we asked, from the African tribes, to the behaviour of termites, Alex had the answer. An absolutely credit to the Oranje team.
Both myself and my son have studied conservation and zoology in depth, but Alex never ceased to amaze us with his knowledge and love of the parks and the animals. I was particularly impressed with Alex's care of the park and it's residents, never overstepping the boundaries that exist to maintain the beauty and welfare of the parks and animals. It was pleasure to meet such a gentleman, who took such care and pride to ensure that we had the best experience we could. Everything was done to our time scale and if we wanted to stay and wait for the elusive hippo to surface it was fine with him, he just quietly sat and waited whilst we took in the amazing scenes. We also came across the amazing, and fantastic scene of a lion family with 3 cubs which were literally 15 foot away from us! Alex was more than happy for us to stay as long as we wanted to and admire these beautiful creatures... Seeing an elephant walk behind the family was just breathtaking... Thank you so much Alex for helping us see such a variety of animals!
Harry helped us choose two of the most stunning and magical lodges that we could have imagined.. Lions Bluff and Epiya Chapeyu. Whose accommodations, locations, and staff were all beyond our wildest expectations, again thank you so much Harry for recommending them.
During our 3 day / 2 night safari, Oranje Safaris enabled us to experience both the stunning Tsavo East and inspiring Taita Hills Sanctuary, which together with being able to see Kilimanjaro made our dream safari came true.
We cannot thank you enough.

Serious operator for an unforgettable 5-day safari in Tanzania
We booked our 5 days safari in Tanzania with Landrails Safari, a Kenyan company, who organised everything.
Ashley, our contact at Landrails Safari, was very helpful and responsive to help us to plan our Safari.
At our arrival in Tanzania, we were with 7 Wonders (Tanzanian partner of Landrails Safari) and their driver Linus for a 5 days Safari in lodges between Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater. The Safari was incredible, we saw all the animals including the Big Five thanks to our amazing guide Linus ! The accommodations were also perfect with a high level of service.
Special mention to our contact Ashley and our driver Linus

Phenomenal 3 day experience!!
Had the most amazing experience with Afrishare team. Ibrahim was extremely responsive, diligent, and flexible during our booking. Our tour guide, Atif bhai, was great - had the eyesight of a hawk and the wisdom of an owl.
The safari itself was full of great weather, and we enjoyed riding in the jeep with the top up while we scouted for animals in the pleasant breeze. The Serena lodges were beautiful and would highly recommend. Overall, putting your trust in Afrishare safaris will be a great start to any trip!!!!

Arnold Nyalu our, customer-friendly, 100% dedicated driver and guide, speaking impeccable English
Even though we did not use the services of his company for safari tours in any of the northern circuit national parks, we used his services as a guide and driver for some of the off-the-beaten track places in the area of Arusha. He drove us safely around to the Moite Bwawani Maasai Village and Mission. Initially we thought a 20 km distance wasn’t that far but we didn’t expect the tarmac to end after a few kilometers and the rest of the journey was dirt road. But our driver Arnold W. Nyalu skillfully and safely brought us to our destination, even though the road was, to say the least, pretty challenging.We know him to be the owner of Major Treks and Safaris and we believe he can be fully trusted. Choosing any tour operator for safaris is always a matter of trust. We recommend Arnold Nyalu to anyone thinking of a hassle- free safari experience.
