An amazing safari tour
Bryson arranged a fantastic safari for our family of four. Starting with an early pick up from our hotel in Zanzibar, through flight to Seronera airstrip, three days in the Serengeti, a day in Ngorongoro and finally drop off at Kilimanjaro for our flight home, everything worked perfectly and exactly on time. Bryson was in contact beforehand and throughout to make sure everything was fine. We stayed at three very different lodges as recommended by Bryson, each great in its own way (Melia Serengeti for sheer opulence and Serena Ngorongoro for spectacular location and view were our favourites). The vehicle was comfortable, well equipped and maintained. However, most credit should go to our guide, Estomih. He had great knowledge and understanding of the environment and fantastic enthusiasm to share this with us to show us the best of the spectacular landscape and animals. But more important than that, Estomih was simply an amazing person: helpful, friendly, considerate and reliable. By some distance, we all agreed this was the most enjoyable four days we had ever spent on holiday as a family. It is not the most important factor but, whilst a safari is never cheap, by booking directly with Safari Soles the cost was less than half what a UK travel agent quoted for the same trip. And it goes directly to a small, Arusha based firm and into the local economy. I genuinely cannot think of anything I would change.

Safari Superb!
There can be no better way to observe the wealth of nature, both in the animals and the vast landscape, of Botswana's Okavango Delta than under the guidance of Lucas Tahiti. Lucas uses his local knowledge to reveal the amazing array of wildlife and at times pauses so that you also absorb the stunning landscape. Lucas’ local familiarity of the wildlife allows positioning that allows up-close observation as the animals moved by our station. Aside from the larger animals, the abundant and colorful avifauna makes for birdwatching that is beyond compare – with Lucas providing expert birding knowledge. Lucas provides an amazingly comfortable camp, providing flawless logistics in a pleasant and safe manner. Even with cameras in hand, I found myself at many times putting them down and simply immersing myself in the experience. Lucas can be counted on a well-organized and totally satisfying adventure!

Botswana - a Trip of a Lifetime
We actually did this safari in 2019 with our friends and when Lucas and his team were working through Recreational Equipment Inc in Seattle. The safari was the same as the one shown here. It was a trip of a lifetime for us and our friends. Lucas and his team were outstanding and took care of every need. We are really happy we did a tent safari because you are right out their in the wilds of Botswana.
Lucas and his team were so knowledgable about the wildlife and their habitat that it just added to the experience. We are so happy that Lucas has formed his own tour complany because he has so much to teach others about Botswana. We highly recommend this tour to anyone who is looking for a real Botswana safari.
Great tour of the mara
We had a pleasant experience with Johnny Jackson, our tour driver / guide. He gave us good information about various animals and their habits. We saw 4 out of the big 5, except rhino. Johnny tried his best to find a leopard who was hidden behind a bush to ensure we got a good picture of it. He drove well on the bumpy roads of the mara and got us very close to 2 majestic male lions which made our day.
Our stay at jambo mara lounge was great as we got a glass cottage which was really cozy and modern. The food could've been better. Also, the itinerary for this tour contained a game drive on 3rd day, but we were not offered one and asked to pay $80 more. The reason given to us was a change in rules for entry recently which was not updated on the website. We ended up skipping it.

Incredible African Adventure
Wito was incredible from start to finish on my trip to Tanzania/Rwanda/Uganda. I had some travel issues with delayed flights on my way over from the states and Abdullie kept in contact with me throughout the process, assuring they would continue to monitor my progress and assist anyway possible. I managed to make it, but without my bag. They stayed in touch with the airline and managed to get my bag to our hotel before we left for safari. The whole trip was well organized and our local safari guides in Tanzania and Rwanda/Uganda were amazing. We had so many incredible experiences in the multiple parks of Tanzania. The Serengeti was unforgettable. The Golden Monkeys in Rwanda and the Gorillas in Uganda were a life long dream to experience and Wito made it happen in beautiful fashion. Thank you for an incredible life changing experience!

So Glad I Chose Extraordinary Africa
I’ve been to Africa half a dozen times prior to this trip (including Uganda 6m prior) but never to Southern Africa, I’d heard good things about Alex Matts at Extraordinary Africa so I reached out and it turned out to be one of best choices I’ve made. I gave Alex a broad remit on where to go (SA, Zim, Zam, Botswana, Namibia), my budget, how many days and dates of travel and she came up with brilliant options. Her communications were both by email and telephone and we soon narrowed down to the final itinerary. She gave me total confidence that she’d listened to my wants.
She chose Zambia, as I’d asked for the best chance for Wild Dogs in October, she chose 2 great lodges as I’d asked her to limit the travel days, both lodges more than hit the mark with my requests. More importantly, Alex suggested I visit the Lower Zambezi National Park, staying at Anabezi Camp (camp is misleading, it’s more 5-6 star hotel in the bush! I’m so grateful to Alex for this choice as it wasn’t on my list and hadn’t considered LZNP, this to me encapsulates the reason for putting for faith in an expert and Alex at Extraordinary Africa certainly qualifies as this!

Kenya is like a beautiful mix of different cultures, amazing scenery, and awesome wildlife.
My trip to Kenya was an absolute delight! It's a place where every day brings a new adventure. The Maasai Mara safari was a standout experience. It's like being in a live-action nature documentary. The parks are not just about the animals; they're about immersing yourself in the untamed beauty of Africa.
Nairobi, with its bustling streets and friendly locals, added another layer to the experience. The blend of urban life and natural wonders is something unique to Kenya. The people I met were incredibly welcoming, making me feel at home from day one. The weather was perfect for exploring, and I always felt safe and looked after. For anyone looking for a mix of culture, adventure, and natural beauty, Kenya is the place to be!
