Easy, friendly and generous staff
Booked with them five months in advance, wasn’t happy when the venue was changed but I understood it was because of Covid precautions. They kept us upto date with the state of travel and when we finally got to Malindi, we enjoyed the staycation. Great reception too, from airport transfer to visiting the attractions, their website had everything true.

Luxurious Trip Across Kenya
Like others, travelling in a time like this can be worrying, but Anthony took care of everything and helped with all elements.
I booked a 7 night Safari across Kenya, and finished my trip in Diani Beach (paradise on earth! And highly recommended).
I wanted to treat myself to a fancier trip - and he knew exactly where to take me. Anthony booked everything on my behalf (actually worked out a wholeeee lot cheaper than the quotes I received directly from the resorts).
The Safari van was amazing for my photography requirements (all the sides fully opened up) and looked very authentic to all my family back home! In fact Anthony even had an adaptor lens so I could use his huge Nikon lens on my Canon - WIN WIN!
Save yourself the cost of a new lens, and treat yourself to this trip I say! You will not be disappointed. You see everything you dream of (which I won’t write about, as I will leave it to your magical surprise!)
PS. Top tip - contact him directly, I did the same as others!

We visited Treetop hotel and equtor. Treetop hotel is very famous because of the queen, we felt lucky to stay at the queen's hotel. Eqautor experience was very intersting also.

Amazing holiday of alifetime
With covid-19 pandemic ravaging the world, we decided to travel to Africa for our anniversary after the reopening of airports in most countries globally and Uganda was our desired destination. We searched around for our trip management company and Mukisa Safaris emerged as our company of choice. We're extremely happy that we chose Mukisa Safaris. The company exhibited much professionalism during our trip organization and execution. During the pre-trip communication, Richard was exceedingly helpful and would reply very promptly to our queries. On arrival at the airport, we were picked amidst observing the SOPs directly to our booked hotel where we started off our safari in the morning. We visited several places including Murchison falls, Kibale Forest and Bwindi and we were in the company of our guide Veronica and John. These two are wonderful and amazing people. They were so friendly, courteous and professional. Veronica was so knowledgeable about Uganda and her knowledge about birds and all the animals was breathtaking. Ugandans are loving and kind. They made our stay in Uganda so memorable. I highly recommend Mukisa Safaris.

Good wildlife, good company!
I had an excellent trip to Uganda a two years ago with Tom. He had planned our itinerary meticulously and was an excellent photography guide - Always willing to offer advice without being pushy. Different primates and colourful lizards were everywhere, but the highlights included a trio of lion club at Murchison Falls that had been left hiding alone in the long grass, a large troop of chimpanzee eating from a fig tree in Kibale, and just how close you could get to the rhinos at Ziwa.
It is definitely only a question of when I head back to Africa, rather than if, and I am already browsing Pictus' 2022 catalogue for inspiration.

These guys have great service and staff
The safari with Kiliholidays was amazing !!! We saw a lot of animals and a lot of interesting things.
Our guide Laurian did his job very well and we even became friends.
The lodge exceeded our expectations - a large green area, cozy bungalows and friendly staff.
This was one of the best travel experiences.

Exceptional service and attitude
Perhaps your are planning your safari trip and trying to choose between dozens of similar companies. I made requests to three different companies and eventually picked Safari Soles. Although their offering was a bit more expensive, I am so glad for my choice.
First of all, if you have never been to a safari, you should definitely go and try it. You will see endless fields full of different animals, living in peace and harmony. You will see elephants and lions just two meters near your jeep. And hyenas will be singing you lullabies at nights :) You'll also see stunning sunrises and sunsets. After this trip you will not want to go to Europe for a holiday, and definitely you'll never go to a zoo again :)
So how are Safari Soles different from other companies?
1. Bryson - the person is charge - was very quick. He provided me with the most detailed reply to my questions, and his reply was the very first. Other companies just sent me their standard replies ignoring my questions at all. Bryson also was very helpful and polite. He recommended us and drove to an exchange point with good rates, and even borrowed us money on our first day :) Upon our request he also recommended us a great guide on Zanzibar. He could address all our questions and queries.
2. Accommodation. One night at a hotel before our safari trip was included in the offering. I know that usually companies accommodate their clients at very budget hotels or even at hostels. In our case the hotel was quite good. The room was very comfortable and had all necessary facilities. There was a pool at the hotel, and the restaurant was very good too.
3. David, the guide. David was just amazing. He could easily spot lions and cheetahs in 5 kilometers. The "big five" was not a challenge for us, but a trivial task. We also saw dozens of elephants, giraffes, hippos, hyenas, buffalos, wild beasts, impalas, jackals, pumbaas, zebras, and many many other animals and birds. David is also a very positive person and has good vibes :) We also could stay as much as we wanted near animals we liked. There was no rush and we felt very freуlly and comfortable.
4. The trip. Usually a group consists of 6 persons. We were lucky and on the first day we were just alone with David. We spent the first night at a budget lodge with a pool, which I think is better than a tent (near Tarangire). On the second day two more people joined us, and we were four. We were very lucky to met those wonderful people and enjoyed their company. It was very comfortable to travel in a group of four, much better then in a group of 6.
5. Salamon, the cook. I saw that people in other groups would eat potato with sausages. We would eat spaghetti Bolognese, beef stew, Tanzanian pizza, national cuisine, etc. We went to Zanzibar after our safari troop and sometimes the food at restaurants there was worse then our dinners on the safari.
The trip was a real adventure, which I will never forget. I am very grateful to Bryson, David and Salamon, and miss my group very much :) That was one of the best days of my life.

Amazing tour company, their dedication to client service is on a different level.
Me and my wife were wowed by the level of preparedness we got from them, the frequent updates about our journey and itinerary, the hotel reception and an amazing safari, Will definitely book with them again.

An unforgettable experience and best Safari Trip ever!
We've decided very spontaneously going to Tanzania and got a few quotes from different companies. Justice from African Big Cats responded very quickly and everything was well organised.
Emanuel, our Guide has welcomed us very friendly at the airport and did take care of us during the whole Safari Trip. He has a great knowledge about the areas in the Parks, the Nature as well as all the animals. We really enjoyed our trip and had a lot of fun. Emanuel really has exceeded our expectations and we will never forget this incredible Trip in Tanzania! We couldn't have asked for a better Guide and can just recommend African Big Cats Safaris!
