Amazing service orientation. Professional and experienced tour operator. You will be in good hands!
We booked 9 months in advance directly with Juma. After my first contact by email he immediately gave me a call back by WhatsApp and we could clarify details of our planned trip. His English is perfect and he is always reachable by phone, email or WhatsApp. We arranged a perfect individual safari trip. There is no need to book a standard package (but you could), you will get exactly what you need or want. Price is much better than when you book from a agency in Germany where we live. I have booked intentionally from a local Tanzanian agency. Safe payment options available. The safari itself was amazing. We had a German speaking guide. 24 year old Juma (the guide, not the operator :)…) has shown us all wildlife and gave us a lot of insight about life in Tanzania. He was supported by our driver Julius who was fluent in English and even spoke some Italian. Julius was a very safe driver, we didn’t have any dangerous situation at all. Both were spotting precisely the animals in the wilderness which we would never have found without their experience. Vehicle was in excellent shape. We have been two guests only on a private tour. For lunch we always had a picnic in the parks and they offered even beer and wine (red/white) which was a pleasant extra. We have seen Tarangire, Ngorongoro crater and Lake Manyara Park. Unfortunately our flight to Zanzibar was cancelled by the airline the night before what would have destroyed the rest of our trip. Juma (the operator) did an amazing job by getting new flights for us over night for a good price. They flights he booked where shown to us as sold out, but somehow he managed to get us into this plane. Never had such an amazing support ever! We will come back for the Serengeti somewhen.

An Extraordinary 11 day Safari — Thanks to Rogers and the Safari Soles!
We recently completed an extraordinary safari in Tanzania and what an incredible experience it was!
Our guide, driver, and wildlife spotter, Rogers, was absolutely exceptional. Every day, he worked tirelessly to ensure we had the best possible experience. Whether he was navigating challenging roads, taking care of our meals and refreshments, sharing his extensive knowledge of wildlife, or finding elusive animals for unforgettable encounters and photo opportunities, Rogers consistently went above and beyond.
The wildlife sightings were spectacular! During our safari, we spotted an astonishing amount of lions, many cheetahs and leopards, one incredibly rare black rhino, and numerous white rhinos, along with countless elephants, Cape buffalo, giraffes, zebras, and other amazing wildlife.
One of the highlights of our adventure was seeing all of Africa’s legendary Big Five—lions, leopards, elephants, Cape buffalo, and rhinoceroses. Spotting the elusive black rhino was particularly exciting and something we will never forget. For anyone who loves wildlife and photography, this was truly a dream safari!
Having been on safaris before, I can honestly say that Rogers’ wildlife-spotting skills were among the best we’ve experienced. He seemed to have an uncanny ability to find animals that the rest of us would never have noticed.
Another thing that impressed us was his relationship with fellow safari guides. Rogers seemed to know everyone! He was constantly exchanging information about wildlife sightings, greeting other guides with a smile, and sharing tips about where animals had been spotted. This network of friendships, along with his willingness to share information, made a tremendous difference in our experience.
It’s also important to recognize just how demanding a safari guide’s job can be. Rogers spent long days behind the wheel, sometimes 10–12 hours, while simultaneously watching the roads, spotting wildlife, educating us, and making sure we were comfortable and safe. He handled it all with professionalism, patience, enthusiasm, and a wonderful sense of humor. His personality made the long days especially enjoyable.
The accommodations arranged by Safari Soles were equally impressive. The safari camps were fantastic, the food was excellent, and the staff at every location were welcoming, attentive, and genuinely interested in making our stay memorable. Everything was well organized, and the entire trip ran remarkably smoothly.
A special thank-you to Thomas and Fravia, who helped put together such a wonderful itinerary. And a shout-out to @ellajanemckendrick Ella Kendrick, whose YouTube videos and extensive knowledge of Africa helped lead us to Safari Soles in the first place.
Bryson, you have assembled an amazing team! You should be extremely proud of the people representing your company. They made an already incredible destination even more special.
We’ve traveled extensively and experienced safaris before, but what truly distinguished Safari Soles was the personal attention, flexibility, and genuine enthusiasm of the people who made our trip possible. We never felt like just another group of tourists.
We will absolutely recommend Safari Soles to our friends and family, and we hope to return to Tanzania for another safari in the not-too-distant future.
Asante sana, Rogers, and the entire Safari Soles team! You gave us memories that will last a lifetime.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Five stars—highly recommended

it was a lifetime experience with jocky tours and francis as the guide
Jocky tours and Safaris worked with us to create a safari itinerary that perfectly fit our safari experience requests. Moreen reworked our itinerary more than once to fit our requests
We finally settled on a 6 days safari which included Masai Mara , lake Nakuru and, Amboseli national park .
Francis was with us for our entire safari, staying at the bush with us.
He took us to different areas each day, and we were in the vehicle all day looking at God’s beautiful creation. Amazing up-close and personal views of animals that we only see in a zoo .Putting his years of tour guiding experience to work, Francis would expertly place our vehicle right in the path of lions, cheetahs, zebras, elephants, and even more animals. These animals would walk right in front of our parked vehicle and practically pose for photos. I know I keep saying amazing, but it truly was AMAZING! The other guides knew and respected Francis , as they would share information along the way about animal locations.
I would be remiss if I failed to brag on the accommodations, which exactly fit our requests. Our tents were truly nice in Masai mara lenchada camp ,The shower in buraha zenoni resort in Nakuru had better water pressure than ours at home, and the room was so comfortable. The king sized bed was heavenly! We slept so well. The food was top-notch, every single meal. We were so spoiled! There were no fences to keep animals out, but we felt safe. The animals really don’t want to mess with humans. However, it was cool to hear them nearby. I felt safe, and I didn’t expect to.
Our day in Masai Mara was pure magic! It felt like Noah had emptied the ark right there in that place. Everywhere we looked, we saw beauty and God’s majesty. We saw large groups of animals living side by side, zebras, baboons, elephants, gazelles, lions, rhinos in lake Nakuru , hippos, etc. What a safari ! Imagine our joy as we watched 3 mother lionesses walk right in front of us with their cubs! We could not have scripted a better day looking at animals. It was like Francis knew our safari checklist, and he fulfilled it.
I highly recommend Jocky tours and Safaris and more if you request for Francis to be your safari guide . You won’t regret going with an experienced company that knows how to make the most of your safari dollars.

The safari was incredible. It was very well organised and the personal details made us feel very welcome. Emmanuel was a great guide. He made sure we experienced a lot of animals in the time we had. I would highly recommend this company to others

The tour operator arranged an excellent safari and is incredibly friendly and helpful.
We had an absolutely amazing Tanzania safari! Our trip lasted 3 days—two days in the Serengeti and one day in the Ngorongoro Crater. We were incredibly lucky to spot the Big Five, along with a wide variety of other wildlife across the plains.
Our guide, Assad Guga, was fantastic. He was extremely friendly, always going the extra mile to get us close-up views of the animals while patiently explaining everything about them.
On top of that, our return flight was suddenly delayed, which put us at risk of missing our connecting flight. Both Assad and the tour operator, Happy, stepped in to coordinate with the airline and made sure we made it back on time. We really appreciate their help!
All in all, this was an unforgettable experience from start to finish. A solid 5-star rating—highly recommended!

Sensational Safari Experience
We started the tour from JNB and onward to VFA and ended in CPT. Thank you Rishen and MoAfrika Team for the enthusiasm and dedication to your clients. We received full support from start to finish. Rishen is very responsive and answers all our queries before booking the tour, before we embark on our adventure and continue to do so to ensure our seamless logistics on the ground. Our host at Dumela Lodge — Letle did a fantastic job looking after us during our stay and organising our fun-filled activities. We are very blessed to be served by MoAfrika Tours and brought home wonderful memories of our trip. Highly recommended for their professionalism as tour specialists.

Extraordinarily service and solution-oriented mindset
Aslam was a positive and very friendly safari guide throughout our five days. He was great at answering our various question, providing us further interesting detail and navigating to spectacular scenes within the Serengeti national park. Our group as all consider us very lucky to have gotten him as our safari guide.
We did unfortunately have some bad luck with our car, including some minor unexpected stops, a wielding job, a tire switch, and eventually onn day four we had to switch car entirely. It was through all these unfortunate circumstances with our vehicle that Aslam always stayed positive and priorised our best.
For anyone considering doing a tour with this agency I can highly recommend them. Communication was always clear, timely and friendly, and overall our safari was indeed unforgettable. some things to consider bringing however are: masks (it is extremely dusty on the roads), some vehicle courtain against the sun, a good camera (for obvious reasons), and wipes (against the dust). Also, try to get a better car than we had.

Friendly, finding us a great team to Kilimanjaro!
A huge thank to Crater Explorer Safari for organizing an unforgettable Mount Kilimanjaro trek for us! The owner, Emanuel, is incredibly warm, enthusiastic, and tailored every detail of our itinerary perfectly to our needs.
Our lead guide, Richard, and his young apprentice, George, were the absolute dream team—knowledgeable, attentive, and genuinely hilarious. They kept our spirits high with great stories along the trail and somehow mastered the art of adjusting the pace to match our fitness levels. Whenever we felt like collapsing, their relentless positivity kept us putting one foot in front of the other. Thanks to them, our not-so-athletic crew actually made it to Gillman’s Point!
It was undeniably tough, but the breathtaking summit views made every single drop of sweat worth it. Highly recommend Crater Explorer Safari to anyone dreaming of Kili!

Unforgettable safari experience with Tellena Tours and Vincent
It was the most interesting journey we have ever taken. Manager Victor we’ve contacted about our safari experience listened to us and organised everything perfectly. We visited Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha, and Amboseli, and each park was different and amazing!!! We found four of the Big Five! Leopard will be found at next time 😁
We also saw herds of wildebeest and zebras, giraffes, cheetahs and so many other animals. Thanks to our driver Vincent. Driver was reliable, punctual, and truly professional. Tellena Tours made our dream come true🤩
