Excellent service
We had a four day safari. Started with Tarangire, then two days in Serengeti and one day in Ngorongoro. We saw the big five and so much more. We had mid-range standard and the places we stayed, and must say …these were above expectations.
Manka made a perfect program for us, perfect service and information before the trip…but what impressed me the most were how Manka helped and had contact with the driver e.g when the rain season hit Serengeti and we almost got stucked. In such a situation it felt safe to have Manka who can safari, Africa and in person followed when we needed them the most. Well done.
I will come back to Serengeti and use Manka as my agent anytime!

Unforgettable trip, amazing company
Our safari in Tanzania was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and Safari Soles made it absolutely perfect since the very beginning.
We must say that we booked only 2 days in advance, since we should have been in another country where war is taking place and our top was canceled. Despite they only have two days to manage our entire trip, they made it incredibly well organized, and every detail was taken care of with professionalism and care.
The safari anctually exceeded all our expectations. Our guide, kelvin, was simply amazing. He was knowledgeable, friendly, and clearly passionate about wildlife and nature. Thanks to his expertise, we were able to see an amazing variety of animals, including the Big Five, while learning so much about the parks, the ecosystem, and the local culture. He always made sure we were in the best spots for wildlife viewing and he always made us feel The accommodations selected for us were fantastic—comfortable, well located, and perfectly integrated into the natural environment.
We should also say that our safari took place during the rainy season and even mud could not stop our amazing guide.
Every transfer and activity was smoothly organized, which allowed us to fully relax and enjoy the experience.
What really stood out was the personal attention and care throughout the journey. We always felt safe, welcomed, and well taken care of.
Tanzania is a magical destination, and this agency made our safari truly unforgettable. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for a well-organized, authentic, and memorable safari experience.
Thank you Theadore

Great service, fair pricing, and a perfectly organized safari experience from start to finish
We had the most incredible honeymoon safari in Tanzania with Sereland Safari. From start to finish, everything was extremely well organized and smooth; the booking process, communication, payment, and planning our itinerary were all easy and very flexible, thanks to Mike!
Our trip included flying into the Serengeti where we spent a few wonderful days at the Four Seasons Serengeti, followed by a stay in a beautiful safari camp. After that we continued to Ngorongoro Crater and Lake Manyara, where we also stayed in a lovely lodge. Every part of the journey was thoughtfully arranged and unforgettable.
A very special thank you goes to our ranger and driver, January, who truly made this experience exceptional. His ability to spot animals from far away was unbelievable; his eyesight and instincts are incredible! He always knew exactly where to go to find wildlife and often brought us to quieter spots away from the crowds, which we really appreciated. We always felt completely safe with him, and his knowledge about the animals and the region was amazing. On top of that, he was incredibly friendly, patient, and flexible, always adapting the experience to what we enjoyed most.
This safari was honestly one of the best trips we have ever taken, and our honeymoon could not have been more perfect. We would highly recommend Sereland Safari to anyone planning a trip to Tanzania.
Thank you again for such an unforgettable experience :)!!!

"A perfect safari day in Nairobi! The tour had a great, relaxed pace. Our guide and driver, Owen, wa
We had a 20-hour layover in Nairobi and decided to go on a safari — and it was the best decision! The park is incredibly close to the airport, which made it super convenient.
From the moment we landed, we were greeted and taken care of. The whole tour was at a relaxed pace, which we really appreciated since we were between long flights. Our guide and driver, Owen, is such a pleasant person — he drove very carefully and showed us so many beautiful and unique animals. It was an unforgettable experience.
I should also mention that Nairobi city itself can feel a bit unsafe, but thanks to the company and Owen, we felt completely safe the entire time. Highly recommended to anyone with a layover!"

Gorillas, Golden Monkey, Kigali City Tour
IF YOU’RE SOMEONE WHO VALUES AUTHENTICITY IN A REVIEW PLEASE READ THIS IN ITS ENTIRETY.
I’m the type of person to do insane due diligence and cross reference several reviews / sources. If you’re reading this, you’ve found your spot. I spent hours finding this exact tour operator. It was absolutely perfect in every sense. The communication was sensational, the value was reasonable , and my tour driver , Emile, was world class.
There’s a few things I look for in an operator as non negotiables. Communication skills, punctuality , and sincerity. All 3 of which were met and exceeded my expectations. We spoke in length about what tour made sense for me and the implications associated. I was extremely satisfied with the lodges and overall experiences. Frankly speaking, the experiences (golden monkeys and Gorillas) are all uniform in the sense of your tour operator taking you to a place you congregate with other tourists and are deployed in groups.
The main difference in operators is the communication , transport, and suggested lodging and recommended services tailored to your preference and budget.
This is where Lion Safaris shines. I was met with a warm smile and passion for local culture. I shared so many laughs and great moments with my driver , Emile. He was very passionate about the culture and just a kind person. My flight got cancelled and he literally offered to allow me to stay at his house for free. Do NOT miss the genocide tour. It is critical to understanding the resilience of the people of Rwanda. I cried so much and it was truly humbling to know their struggles. That said, the humanity and resilience these people showed after the fact was jaw droppingly inspiring and really helped expand my perspective. You can’t visit Rwanda to just see the animals.
Obviously the gorillas are world class. It’s a top 3 experience of my life and I’ve been to 30 countries that are highly regarded and all continents except Antarctica. I’m a seasoned traveler and I don’t BS my reviews. I wanted to take the time to be verbose in hopes of reaching the target audience of people looking for a world class, unforgettable experience.
