I experienced something life-changing in Kenya
I was nervous before I came to Kenya. I am now excited to say that I experienced something life-changing in Kenya. I joined Go Volunteer Africa’s Mombasa Program and I loved every bit of my trip.
Working in the kindergarten and hospital allowed me glimpses into the education and medical systems and gave me an opportunity to learn. I learned that sometimes to be most helpful, I had to be brave and ask where I’d be most useful.
Sometimes doing the little things meant the most to those around me - like calming a crying child to allow the nurses to be able to finish pressing work, or having the patience with a child to sit and help them finish their food for the first time.
I was in the public hospital emergency room, where I was also able to see a C-section as well as a live birth. This experience was crucial to my decision to continue studying medicine. I am 20 years old and have just started the pre-med track.
In Kenya, I found incredible kindness everywhere I went. An incredible experience, and one that I will never forget. Thank you Paul and Herbert at Go Volunteer Africa for organizing my trip to Kenya.

A great experience, would highly recommend
Having arranged my tour of Nairobi National Park at only one day's notice, Danson picked me up from my hotel at 0600hrs. He was incredibly friendly and we shared good conversation on the way to the park and throughout the drive. Once we arrived, Danson was incredibly knowledgeable of the Park's layout and where to best spot the animals. On our drive, Danson spoke to me about the animals in the park and their behaviours as we spotted them, we saw Lions, White and Black Rhinos (close encounter with white rhino mother and calf by the lake), Buffalo, Giraffes (at one point we saw a pair necking), Hippos, Ostriches (with 50 young), Zebra, Wildebeest, Hartebeest, Eland, Impala, Thompson's and Grant's Gazelle, Warthogs, Vultures, Storks, and a Secretary bird. Danson was incredibly knowledgeable about all of the species and made every effort to ensure my trip was enjoyable.
Overall, this was a thoroughly enjoyable experience, with great service and at a very reasonable price. I would encourage anyone looking to go on safari in Kenya to go through Danson; I certainly will when I return.

New Horizon and Emmanuel were fantastic.
I am just back from this trip. I had a wonderful time. I was lucky to be the only one on the tour so I had Emmanuel as my exclusive guide. We toured this amazing country together and I was amazed at the beauty, the friendliness of the people and, considering the history, the positivity of Rwanda. It’s astounding really.
Highlights were visiting the gorilla guardians village, the stunning views of Lake Kevu and despite the subject, visiting Murambi.
If you have already seen gorillas, are not interested in gorillas or feel they should be left in peace, this is the tour to take. You get to see and experience the entire country and you get to hear from a really lovely guide Emmanuel.
Highly recommended.

Marvelous Safari!
I had an amazing experience the whole period I was in Kenya courtesy of Trevaron Tours and Travel. From our pick up point at a hotel in Nairobi to the flight to Masai Mara and two night stay at Fairmont Mara hotel. Hannah really helped us in coming up with the perfect itinerary for our entire stay. Our guide David was simply perfect on all of our game drives, he is extensively knowledgeable, friendly and very accommodating. Trevaron Tours and Travels are simply the best. We had quality time out in the wild. Flight back to our hotel in Nairobi and pickup from the airport was all included. We went for the luxury package and it was well worth it. Professionally executed, thank you Trevaron Tours and Travel.

Personalized Safari experience with GREAT Safari Tour Guide & LOCAL extras activities.Recomended100%
Zohar helped us to define the plan based on our interests & at the same time offering various options we did not knew they exist.
They work closely with local communities so some activities help us understanding more the culture!
Great communication and follow up we first contact them until we reach home after the trip!
Safari tour guide (Tom) really EXPERIENCED and friendly. He made our Safari days not only a great experience being able to see all type of animals really closed, but also creating a great “atmosphere” at all time ;)
Zohar took the time to have a lot of details with us so we feel confortable, secure and VIP travelers ;)

Well organized company with attention for your desires
We had a great safari with Safari Soles. Nothing to worry about during your trip because everything is well organized for you: airport transport, great lodges, great food, save & secure holiday. Simon, our guide, gave us a wonderfull experience. We saw the big five and have awesome pictures thanks to Simon's knowledge what the best spot is to see the animal. You also get the learn a lot about the Tanzanian culture thanks to Simon. After our safari we stayed a day longer than planned, Simon and Bryson organized an extra excursion without extra payment. Amazing company and People, perfect for an outstanding experience

Great experience, super accommodating.
We booked a 3 day safari very last minute after finishing a work assignment in the area. While our original lodge wasn’t available, Wayne and his team found us an arguably even better place to stay. We loved it so much we extended our trip by a few days and ended up with 5 days in the bush. Saw all the Big 5 within 2 game drives and had the most incredible experience. Transfers to and from JBurg were seamless and cannot recommend Wayne and his team enough; they were so accommodating when we extended our trip at the 11th hr. Highly recommend and will be sending my friends and family their way!!!

Well experienced and organized Safari team with an excellent guide
We fully enjoyed the 6 Day Safari.
Everything worked perfectly and we felt so lucky and safe with Silverspark Safari and the team.
Even on request before arrival we could change the proposed accommodation at Lake Nakuru.
Highly recommended!

An Unforgettable Safari to Sabi Sands
Hi Michelle
We are back home in London and wanted to say thank you so very much for putting together such an unforgettable safari. Everything went smoothly, the flights and transfers all seamless. So thank you for organising everything so efficiently. We absolutely loved Silvan Safari, our room was gorgeous. We had amazing animal sightings and the staff were great.
You were right, safaris are addictive and we cannot wait for our next trip with you!
Thanks again
Alistair and Michelle
