Best Trip ever with the best Guide Cleopa
Dear Soul of Tanzania team,
first of all we would like to thank you for the entire planning and smooth execution. Everything went smoothly, communication, requests and payment processing. Now to our safari tour and our tour guide Cleopa. Cleopa was by far the best guide we could imagine, he did everything to fulfill our wishes and expectations. He wasn't just a guide, he became a friend. His warm and gracious manner made our safari truly unique. He explained everything to us down to the smallest detail and put a lot of effort into it. The trips to the respective places were very amusing and we had a lot of fun. Thanks to him and his efforts we have all seen the Big 5 of Africa, we are infinitely grateful and fly back with a wonderful memory and experience. Tanzania and the safari has conquered our hearts, we thank you, Cleopa and of course Mama Africa for this unforgettable experience. If we come back or our friends come, we will definitely recommend you and Cleopa. A 10/10 from us!
With eternal gratitude and love,
Pél and Mohammad from Bonn, Germany

An unforgettable experience!
Took a two-night, three-day tent safari to the Serengeti and Ngorongoro with my wife. Staying in tents in the middle of nature, where even the wild animals roamed freely. The camp was visited at night by e.g. Hyenas, zebras, giraffes and on the morning of the last day two elephants! The guide was Rocky who was a really nice guy who knew a lot about animals, nature and the Masai culture. Musa was the cook on the trip, who conjured up unimaginably great dishes for breakfast, lunch and dinner. I would not have even thought that such dishes could be made in the savannah. We did get the adventure of a lifetime and an unforgettable trip. Worth every penny and effort. Through Suricata, it was also possible to arrange cheaper taxi rides etc. for own expenses after the Safari. Customer service worked 10+ in every situation. Can't help but recommend!

Very professional, attentive, and prompt. We travel a lot and would highly recommend Ker & Downey
It was so easy to work with Sarah Morris to arrange our 12 day Egypt Tour. We did not do much research of our own, but the itinerary she put together was perfect and exceeded all our expectation, making our trip one of the most memorable one. All the important places were on our list as well as not to miss "extras" (e.g., entry to Seti I 's and Nefariti's tombs). Visit National Museum of Egyptian Civilization vs. Cairo Museum - I've heard other tourists complaining about the lack of AC at Cairo Musuem; besides all key pieces have been moved to the new Museum which is yet to open. Plan on visiting the Luxor in the late afternoon/early evening and splitting the visit to Luxor and Karnak Temples on different days, which is what we did. Highly recommend staying at the 4 Seasons at Nile Plaza in Cairo and at the Old Cataract Hotel in Aswan, even if the stay costs more. Highly recommend doing a private tour. Local Egyptologists were phenomenal, and it was great to hear that they prefer to work with Ker & Downey. The support team was also awesome - they were easily accessible and took care of our need in a real time.

Excellent and lveoly team all working hard to ensure you have a perfect holiday!
As is the case probably for many booking their first safari trip - the amount of companies and safari options is overwhelming. We have ultimately decided to do it with Zohar, mainly because how quickly Lilian understood what we wanted and how engaging and responsive she was from the very beginning. Her suggestions as to how can we modify / improve our trip were spot on and exactly how we wanted it to be. The price/value ratio was also among the best ones we received from other companies. Lilian is super super nice and we were very relaxed before coming to Tanzania because we knew our honeymoon trip was in good hands.
Upon arriving to Tanzania, we were met by Lilian and some of her colleagues. And oh my are they all lovely. We also met our guide - Solomon. Once we entered our first national park I immediatelly realized how experienced, knowledgebale and interesting Solomon is. He would tell you many facts and stories about the animals, the national park, the villagies, cities, Tanzania cultures etc. And most importantly - he always thinking of keeping you safe. Solomon knew about things we wanted to see the most and did everything he could to have it accomplished - and he succeeded. We also liked that Solomon shown his flexibility and didn't hesitate to make his own suggestions (e.g. waking up early in the morning and doing a full day game drive - we are not morning persons but morning game drives were by far the best!!!). I really couldn't think of a better guide for this safari than Solomon and at the end wished that trip never ended.
If you reading this review while being unsure which company to book with - I have now doubts you will not be disappointed with Zohar. They are truly an exceptional team all working very hard to ensure you have perfect vacation. For us, it was one of the best trips of our lives. And if we were ever to go back to Tanzania, I would definititely do it again with Zohar.
Thanks to Zohar team for making this trip so special.

Highly recommended, no regrets!
So we were about to give up on our safari tour because it was to expansive to book a tour via the tour companies in our homeland. Finally got to know about African Big Cats Safaris company through thorough research on the internet and applied online to get an offer. Justice from the office reached us out very quickly with a detailed offer and made adjustments to our satisfaction right away, no need to.mention the price was very fair. Moreover, justice was very listening and answered to any question we had between our booking to our actual tour date. On arrival, Arira the driver were waiting for us and took us to any arrangement we needed before arriving to the lodge and was very nice to us. At the lodge Emmanuel the boss met us and explained detailed information about the practice of our tour and answered any questions we had. The next morning we met our guide Ernest which deserves every flatter you can think about. He was very experienced with around 20 years of guiding and also teaching students for guiding safaris for long time. He was the nicest and very kind, very listening and determined to answer our needs. Couldn't ask for a better guide. Finally, we met Emmanuel again at the arusha airport before leaving to zanzibar for a very nice departure chat.
To sum it all, we highly recommend African Big Cats Safaris , you won't regret it!

Jocky Safaris made the experience smooth and easy, quick response times and very fair price.
Our 4-day safari was more then we could have asked for. It exceeded our expectations and was worth every dollar. Our tour guide, Yasin, was knowledgeable about all things Africa, he showed us all the animals, over 100+ species of mammals and birds, we came to see. His driving was remarkable and we felt safe the whole trip. Our agenda was very clear and we were always on time. The lodging was good and very fair for the budget we had. This trip was our honeymoon and we made life lasting memories. Our only regret was not spending more time.

Amazing!
Everything exceeded expectations! We were picked up as planned and everything went well right from the beginning. We experienced more than we thought we were going to. Yasin was our wonderful guide and we could not asked for anything better. He was so resilient went looking for wildlife, yet so respectful to nature.
