Exceeded my expectations for our safari experience
The accommodations were wonderful during our week-long adventure. Ayubu was an outstanding driver with a knack for squeezing into tight places and lining us up perfectly to view and photograph wildlife. The roads were rough but he navigated them with ease and somehow managed to pick out the animals while simultaneously watching out for the many road hazards. The box lunches were arranged by the places where we stayed and were very basic but had enough variety to make a meal even for a picky eater like myself. (It would have been nice to be able to assemble your own lunches to avoid waste as the Mara Heritage Camp let us do.) Dinners and breakfasts were always buffet style. Plenty of bottled water was available at both the lodging and in the vehicle. We saw over 70 different animal species throughout the week and were fortunate to witness a river crossing of wildebeest during the Great Migration. We also got to see some lionesses hunt a herd of gazelle and vultures picking apart an animal carcass. I saw several folks staying at the Planet Lodge in Arusha and taking day safaris. This is not the way to do it as you spend more time getting back and forth and less time in the parks. A 7 day trip let us see everything we wanted to and not be rushed and we usually got to our lodging an hour or more before dinner to allow us time to get the dirt off. (This is a very dusty experience so be ready for it!) Mara Heritage Camp in the Northern Serengeti had the best food and even had a nightly show of cultural performances.

Excellent customer service, excellent trip!
We just returned from an amazing safari in Kenya. Silas was exceptionally patient and answered all questions prior to the trip, and not only that - he fulfilled all of what was promised, everything went off without a hitch. We had a 9 day, 3 park safari - Samburu, Nakuru and Masai Mara. Make sure you do them in this order, Masai Mara is the cherry on top. Our driver was kind, very safe, and knowledgeable about the parks, animals, and was able to spot even notoriously difficult to find big cats.
Highly recommend the company and the safaris organized by Silas.

They were absolutely superb. Professional, always responded quickly, delivered the perfect holiday
I highly recommend using GEN. Great, prompt and accurate communication. Excellent knowledge of Namibia and created an ideal tour of the country for us as first time visitors. They dealt brilliantly with every aspect of our holiday and even accommodated our last minute panic when our flight home was changed. We are rebooking our next holiday with them now. Particular thanks to the brilliant Lilly who looked after us throughout our booking and the duration of our holiday

Trip of a lifetime with service that exceeded expectations. WOW
We received three quotes as suggested and went with soul of Tanzania because of the prompt responses from Sandy. The trip was arranged and went off without a hitch. Our guide Walter was outstanding and delivered the big five many times over. The accommodations and food were great. We did the 8 day Serengeti Safari with Zanzibar beach extension. The three nights at Nugwi Dreams was the perfect way to unwind before our trip home. We went as a group of five and all left with a deeper appreciation of Tanzania and its culture. We would definitely suggest a trip with SOT and Walter to our friends and family.

Knowledgeable and Friendly
I want to thank these young men for an unforgettable experience. Heading to Arusha for the safari, our flight was cancelled and we were sent to Mt. Kilimanjaro airport where we would then be driven to Arusha by the airline (about an hour away). Unfortunately, Baltazary had to wait 4 additional hours past our scheduled arrival time, before picking us up literally at a random hotel in Arusha. He was always available by phone, and quickly responded to pick us up when we arrived. To compound our situation, our bags did not arrive on our flight. I contacted Bryson as there was a language barrier with the airline staff, and he stayed in contact with the airline late into the night so that our bags were delivered to our hotel at 3am. Cheddy picked us up for our tour and we had a wonderful time. The tour was well organized and we saw all the animals, birds and more. Cheddy answered all of our questions and was very knowledgeable. We had great conversations and have great memories. He even had to accommodate us on the last day as it was raining, but we still had fun and made it to the airport for our flight just in time. I want to thank them for being considerate and compassionate when it came to the troubles we had with the airline on our arrival and still ensuring we had a wonderful experience. I would recommend them to anyone for their price, attention to detail, and the passion they have to ensure customers have a wonderful experience. I hope to return and stay longer guys, take care.

Amazing nature viewing
We had an amazing time with Malley Peter as our guide. He was able to find great places for us to see the amazing wildlife (elephants, lions, rhinos, giraffes, zebras, antelope, monkeys, birds, hippos, crocodiles, and more) my son was very interested in seeing snakes and crocodiles and Peter delivered. We were celebrating my 50th birthday and Peter made sure it was memorable with a visit to a Masai village with signing and dancing as well as a special cake and birthday song at the lodge that night. He took care of my mother-in-law, ensuring Bebe (grandma in Swahili) was taken care the entire trip. Wonderful experience with Shemeji Safaris

Prime Safari provides fun and very well planned tours
Prime Safari helped make our trip to Uganda amazing! We visited several different parks and out guide Annanais was very knowledgeable and fun. The trip was well organized/planned so we were able to relax and enjoy the sights and the culture. Definitely recommend booking with Prime Safari.
