Excellent!! Highly recommend
Our recent experience with Safari Soles on a combined 3-day safari and 8-day trek on Mt Kilimanjaro exceeded all expectations. The journey began with a delightful stay at the Arusha Farm House, where the hospitality was unmatched. Geoffrey Samwel, the receptionist, went above and beyond to ensure our comfort, while Happy and Witness in the dining services accommodated my nut allergy, providing delicious and safe meal options throughout our stay.
Our transfer drivers, including Baltaza, Rafael, and William, were great. They provided an stress-free transition between the airport, hotel, and various adventure points. The safari, led by our knowledgeable driver Izak, was a highlight. His expertise in navigating the best spots for wildlife viewing and his insightful answers to our questions enriched our experience. The lodge accommodation, integrated with the local Masai tribe, offered a unique cultural immersion, highlighting the authenticity of our safari adventure. We saw thousands of animals in migration and the big five, up close with lions walking up to our jeep.
Undoubtedly, the best part of our trip was the trek to Mt. Kilimanjaro. Our chief guide (Antipas) and assistant guide (Emanuel) were seasoned mountaineers, who provided a top notch experience. Their professionalism, combined with a strong understanding of the mountain and its cultural significance, provided a safe and enriching experience. The porter team, led by a skilled chef who catered to my dietary restrictions with exceptional care, contributed significantly to our ability to summit. They ensured our food and utilities were hygienic and our belongings were safe and undamaged. Their professionalism, friendliness, and attention to detail were commendable.
The sense of community fostered by the guides and porters with fellow climbers created a vibrant, social atmosphere at the camps, making our experience even more enjoyable.
As experienced climbers, my father and I appreciated the team's ability to tailor the pace to our skill level, allowing for an optimal climbing experience. For safety precautions, Antipas and Emanuel would temper our pace when needed but also push us when facing challenging aspects of the trek. It is no wonder they have such a high success rate in summiting! The views on the summit were breathtaking and our team took every opportunity to take pictures of us and explain the ecosystems and nuances of the mountain.
In conclusion, Safari Soles delivered an exceptional adventure, with professional service, cultural immersion, and attention to health and safety. I would highly recommend their services to anyone seeking an unforgettable African safari and climbing experience regardless of experience level.

Well organized, experienced and professional tour provider
We have planned a 5 day expedition starting from Nairobi and ending at Mombasa. Our tour was well planned and organized throughout the stay. The communication with the team prior to the start of the tour was reliable and the driver, Stephan, was well spoken, professional, always on time, and provided a lot of insights during the expedition. Overall, we had a great time and much satisfied with their service. Look out of them and their great service.

Amazing experience thanks to the guide
Great experience, the car was in very good conditions but the real game changer was our amazing guide Isaac Long, whose experience led us to see the most rare and amazing animals. He was always up to make our wish come true and very patient with all the questions we had. He loves his job and show it every step of the way! Thanks again Isaac

The true mighty jungle!
My gilfrend and I had a great time for the 2-day Tarangire and Ngorongoro trip! Innocent was able to accommodate and plan our trip last minute and we enjoyed every minute of it! Our driver Othuman was great and provided us with lots of knowledge about the conservation and the animals we saw. I would highly recommend this experience! Thank you again!

Fantastic Safaris in Kenya
Another fantastic Safari with Tazama Africa Holidays, we asked for a bespoke itinerary and Antony’s selections were excellent. We went to the Samburu and Mara in Kenya, saw many animals and birds were plentiful, we had a high quality driver who missed nothing! communication and attention to detail great as ever, and the pricing very competitive. The ladies in our group felt very safe at all times so we are super happy. This is our 3rd Safari with them and we cannot recommend them more highly.

Best experience we could have imagined - Gosheni exceeded all our expectations!
Our safari trip with Gosheni Safari was absolutely amazing.
Herman from the backoffice was very helpful in answering any of our questions before the final booking by timely answering all our messages.
The designated driver for the airport transfer was waiting for us upon arrival at the Kilimanjaro airport with no delay.
The safari started the day after, when Huruma picked us up at our hotel and drove us to the Gosheni offices, where we met Herman for tea and a short briefing about the safari.
As for the safari: We felt very comfortable and welcomed by Huruma's personality and way of being and that didn't change throughout the 4 day safari. Huruma is an extremely professional and passionate guide with many years of experience in the field. Due to his competence, none of our questions remained unanswered. Our trips started at the time agreed with Huruma, the truck was cleaned every night and complimentary water as well as food was refilled every day. Huruma's warm personality truly shows how much he cares about wildlife/animals as well the wellbeing and satisfaction of his clients. We highly recommend Gosheni Safari, specially Huruma as your next safari tour guide!

Well organized. Friendly, helpful and great value for money
We booked Junglers 6-Day Kruger, Canyon and Panorama Route Explorer Trip - for our group of 6 - but with their help we adapted the tour so we could spend more time in the Kruger.
Junglers were very easy, helpful and accommodating to work with whilst we were planning our trip and very quick to respond to any questions we had
We had some special dietary requirements in our group too which were worried about - but these had been planned in advance by Junglers and were accommodated for without any fuss at each of our stops
The trip was superb. We were picked up from our hotel near the airport by our guide who was knowledgeable, friendly and kind (and a very good cook too!) and were joined by additional guides and trackers at different points within our trip (who without exception were excellent and knowledgable too - adapting and changing their plans to help enhance the experience for us.)
The trip was very good value for money and Junglers had obviously put a great deal of thought and planning into were we went, who the guides were and where we stayed each night - As a result we saw and experienced much more than we could ever have expected
I would absolutely recommend Junglers to anyone planning a similar trip

This Safari extended all our expectations
We booked our Safari trip before our travel to Zanzibar- months ahead actually, and when the date arrived, we were a little concerned, if everything would fall into pieces. But our concern was totally unnecessary. We were picked up at our hotel at the scheduled time, everything at the airport went smoothly and at Selouse in Nyere Park we were picked up by our driver and guide. Both were outstanding, and went all the way in their effort to give us the very best adventure. We can for sure recommend this tour. We went for three days a two nights in a very authentic African lodge.
