Jartan was the very best combination of professional and approachable with a great sense of humor
Jartan was a pure pleasure to have as a tour leader. He was extremely knowledgeable about the areas that we visited both in terms of local culture and of course the flora and fauna. He did a great job communicating with me and with our group in terms of trip details and all appropriate scheduling information. He kept the group on track and made sure we had everything we needed to get the most out of our experience. The accommodations and the food were fantastic! All of the places we stayed were very comfortable and clean with top notch staff who made our stays extra special. I always felt at home- it was like visiting my mother except on a different continent. The places we visited were magical to say the least. The animals we saw were all very healthy and vibrant and they were oblivious to our presence, so we saw them act very naturally. My favorite was the lionesses and their cubs in one of the acacia trees in the Serengeti, although I was quite amazed by all of the animals. We also had a male lion approach one of our jeeps and actually take a rest under the back end behind the rear tires. He needed shade and that seemed like a good place for a rest. The jeeps were well suited for taking photos and for traveling, and the drivers were engaging and also knowledgeable. Some of the spots we went to were a bit of a trip but it was always well worth it to see something special. We also had a chance to interact with some of the local tribes and learn about their way of life which was very eye-opening. Some live very simply and they seem very happy with their circumstances, a good lesson for everyone. The whole trip went off without a hitch and Jartan was always there to make sure it did. If you are lucky enough to have him lead your tour, make sure you have him wear his leopard shots. Whenever he wore them, we had great luck seeing the big cats! Overall this was the best trip I've taken in my life and it was well worth the money. I hope to do it again some day and would love to travel with Jartan once again.

Tanzania is awesome, so skip the Zanzibar part.
We loved our trip. The best part was Ngorogoro Crater. We should have spent two nights there instead. Oscar our guide was awesome!!! We were really disappointed in Zanzibar. It was dirty and the shop sellers were way too aggressive.

Made my trip easy and so much fun
I booked my Gorilla Trek with Bugoli Adventures and I’m so glad I did. Michael was very informative and answered all my questions. He planned the entire itinerary and I didn’t have to worry about a thing. Besides the Gorilla Trek, i loved the Lake Bunyonyi tour. Which I would have never known about if it wasn’t for Michael planning it out.
My guide Andrew was very informative and such a great driver (he drove from Kampala to Bwindi Impenetrable Forest) I felt safe through out my entire trip. He explained so many different things along our drive and got me through the Uganda/Rwanda border smoothly. I’ve been traveling for 2 months have to say this was the highlight of my trip. The tour provided everything promised and exceeded my expectations.
I highly recommend this adventure with Bugoli Adventures

The best life changing experience I could have hoped for!
Africa is magical and I didn't know what to expect by hiring a safari company but Ways of Africa was perfect.
They were super professional, kind and provided impeccable customer service. It is a bit of a daunting process to plan a trip like this but Paul made it so easy. All the drivers, lodges and game parks they chose were perfect. Communication was spot on and everything was taken care of. This trip was a "special" birthday celebration and he even arranged a birthday song, dance and cake "jambo Bwana" that now will be a tradition for our family.
Thanks so much Paul and Janet!

Truly amazing
This was amazing. We went on a 10-day safari with Safari Soles Tours through different parks and it was fantastic. We saw so many animals, from tiny to huge and learned so much about them. Our guide Godlisten was wonderful, extremely knowledgeable, patient, funny, and polite. He was great with our 2 kids (11 and 12) as well and always took the time to answer our questions, and stopped whenever we wanted to see something. The lodges were very nice and comfortable and the food was always delicious. This trip was a trip of a lifetime and we are so happy we chose Safari Soles Tours! Thank you!

Amazing once in a lifetime experience
We spent five days with Kipe's Adventures in Tarangire, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro. We had a wonderful experience and saw a lot during our trips. We were amazed by the Tanzanian hospitality and enjoyed sleeping in the tents and listening to the sounds around us at night. All of Kipe's team were amazing and we also want to thank Manfred and Samuel again for the great time in Tanzania.
On our last day, Kipe showed us his home village with a warm welcome ceremony from his family, delicious lunch (a local dish), dancing, and tea. Anyone interested in the way of life of the local Masai tribe should not miss out on this experience. Besides organizing safari tours, Kipe also runs an NGO and has already built a school for his community where we were able to meet and connect with young students, sing with them, and have a great time together.
We are very grateful for this unique experience and will always have fond memories of our time in Tanzania.
