Incredible service and knowledgeable guide
We had a truly wonderful time on our 3-day safari to Tarangire, Lake Manyara, and the Ngorongoro Crater! Everything was seamless and comfortable. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and a joy to be with. We were in awe with how close we got to the animals and the stunning beauty of the landscape. Thank you so much to the Soul of Tanzania team for all of your support in planning the trip! We’re already talking about planning another safari for a longer period of time in the next few years.

Ozzie is a charismatic and friendly figure who always answered our query’s with passion and detail.
We had the pleasure being able to immerse ourselves into the Tanzanian safari experience thanks to our two guides: Ozzie and Immanuel, who never failed to amused us with their extensive knowledge on each animal and location. There was never an instance during our tour where I felt like I was not getting my moneys worth! Thank you Lion King Safaris for an unforgettable experience!

Amazing experience
Our trip with Suricata was amazing. Everything was good, all our guides were the best. We slept in beautiful lodges during the Safari, we never imagined such a thing. Our chef Tito's food was also very very tasty. The whole experience was the best of our lives so far. Also, we were supposed to be at the airport on the last day of the safari, everything was super organized and we arrived on time. If we go on safari again, it will surely be with the Suricata.

Professional, Excellent Company and People . Above and Beyond our Expectations
Booking a safari with no experience can be a daunting task. For us, Bryson at Safari Soles was expert at ensuring the booking process was as easy as possible and then once we arrived delivered a trip far beyond our wildest expectations with stunning lodges and a safari guide we could only dream of.
We did 7 days total with Safari Soles. One night on arrival in Arusha followed by a day trip to Tarangire and a stay in “Farm of Dreams” in Karatu, to break up the drive to the Serengeti. Then on to the Serengeti for two days and nights at Ang’ata tented lodge followed by a stay at Ang’ata’s sister lodge in Ngorongoro with our last safari day at Ngorongoro and a drive back to Arusha with a final night’s stay there before we left. We also opted for a private safari, so it was just the two of us in the car plus our driver (if you can afford it, this is definitely the way to go).
The accomodations were 5 star to us and completely outdid our expectations (look them up separately).
I can’t say enough about how professional Bryson was throughout every part of booking our trip. He answered every question exactly and in a timely fashion. Nothing seemed to be too much trouble. It was an absolute pleasure to deal with Bryson and his company. In truth, we selected Safari Soles due to Bryson’s responsiveness over other companies we enquired with (and the reviews, of course!)
On the day of our arrival to Kilimanjaro airport we were met and driven to our accommodation at Karibu Heritage hotel, which was basic, but served its purpose as a stop-gap in Arusha.
Our Safari then began as we were collected by our guide Simon at the hotel in our Safari Land Cruiser. A quick note here to say that the car was in excellent condition, had a charging plug at every seat for cameras and phones etc. as well as a fully stocked fridge, with wine, beer and water. We could see other people across the 5 day safari travelling with other companies that were not as lucky with many breakdowns and engines that struggled to start. There was none of that with our well maintained car and we really learned the value of this as Simon could turn off the engine at any point to allow us take still pictures without fear that the car wouldn’t restart.
The safari itself was incredible, we saw all the “Big 5” by day 3, plus many more. It’s well worth a visit to each of the three parks as each is so different and offers not only different landscapes, but also different concentrations of animals. If however you’re short on time, in our day trip to Tarangire we saw almost everything we came to see, but you can’t beat the Serengeti if you can make it there, but you need to give it two days at least as it’s so vast. If we had to leave one out, it would be Ngorongoro, but that’s not to say it wasn’t incredible too.
We can quite honestly say that the trip was made by our guide Simon Juma. There are no words for how amazing he was. Not only is he a wonderful person who we thoroughly enjoyed being with for our five days together, his knowledge of and passion for safari is second to none. He has truly fantastic English and an equally good sense of humour. He was great fun, but also patient and professional, always taking into account how we wanted the trip to go. He has the unbelievable skill of knowing animal behaviours better than they know it themselves! He anticipated every move, knowing when to wait at a sighting and when to move on. He proved this skill to us time and time again, as even when we were the last of 20 cars to come across something he would always position us so we would be in the very best position. Simon’s skills and knowledge gave us front row seats to everything, we felt that we had truly landed with someone special in having Simon as our guide. He was relentless in ensuring we saw everything we came to see and had the driving skills and knowledge of the parks and their back roads away from the big crowds to make it happen. Each day we shared a fantastic cooked lunch, not out of a cardboard box like many other tours we saw. We were really very well looked after. Simon became so much more than a guide and driver to us across our 5 days.
As far as we’re concerned you can’t go wrong booking with Safari Soles.
Bryson and Simon, thank you for a trip of a lifetime, we’ll be back soon!

Best safari to Masai Mara!
Lucy from Savannah Woods Safari really helped us plan our itinerary to Masai Mara. The entire 3 days were full of activity much more than we expected. David was an excellent host. He greeted us warmly at the airstrip in Masai Mara. The safari tour started immediately after we arrived, we saw a bunch of animals on the way to our camp. His knowledge of the animals, including identifying all the bird species made the trip memorable. David was prompt and courteous throughout our tour. We recommend taking a safari 4*4 Jeep as it allows you to see all areas of the park with full visibility of the animals because of the pop up rooftop. We would highly recommend Savannah Woods Safaris and David for our next safari.
Robert was very helpful and responsive in developing the plan as well. We had a great time in Kenya and Mara.

Amazing trip
This was a trip of a lifetime! Tiago was essential for an easy planning and an amazing holiday!
I highly recommend the Spirit of Kenya.
We visited Amboseli, Naivasha, Nakuru and Massai Mara and all the places were wonderful with excellent accommodations.
There are no words to describe the beauty of what we saw!
We were very lucky and with the great help and experience of our guide we got to see all the Big Five.
I look forward to going on safari again and we will definitely choose Spirit of Kenya for our next trip!!!

Very professional services!
This company's staff is kind, caring and well organized. They planned every detail 'special thanks to Linsel'. At the camps, the staff couldn't do any more than they did to make our stay comfortable and ensure that we were safe and happy.
We were lucky to see a lot of animals; a pride of lions, a family of cheetahs, elephants, zebras, many birds and a leopard eating his kill.
Safari Update Travels truly know how to serve their clients.
For an authentic safari experience, I'd suggest booking with Safari Update Travels. The best in town.

Delfin Tours have the best services!
I made plans to visit Kenya for a safari a few weeks before we began our holiday. Despite the short time I had to prepare for the safari, Delfin Tours made it possible with kind, quick and excellent services. Our hotels were all perfect and the whole trip was fantastic, pleasant and easy. Sam our guide was very professional the entire trip, he explained in details vital information about the animals we saw, highly appreciate that. We enjoyed our holiday and will definitely book with them in the future when we return. Special thanks to Annalice our safari planner.
