Friendly, organised, took care of everything
We booked a four-day safari (with the last night at a private lodge). Wildlife Safaris were extremely helpful and responsive in answering questions about the different options (a big reason we went with them), After we had booked, they were organised and clear in processing payments and letting us know what we needed to bring - and there were no hidden costs or snags.
The safari itself was excellent. We were collected on time, driven in a comfortable vehicle to Kruger by a friendly and knowledgable guide (Hoppy), and had already seen elephants, giraffe, buffalo and eagles by the time we arrived at the lodge on our first night. The package was a good way to experience the full variety of what Kruger had to offer at a reasonable price over a long weekend: one night and drive with a small lodge on the periphery, one night and drive in a big lodge within Kruger, and the private lodge - which I’d highly recommend (I didn’t fully understand before booking, but private lodges with their own reserves keep more active track of their animals, and have more flexibility to deviate from the road - we had an outstanding on-foot sighting with some cheetah and managed to track down the elusive rhino on our last day).
Our guide was a helpful presence throughout - our drives alternated between him and lodge staff - keeping track of animals we’d not yet seen to try to make sure we saw as much as possible, answering questions about the animals authoritatively, and being a friendly conversationalist!
All in all, had a very good time - we were lucky enough to chalk up all big five as well as aforementioned cheetah, hyena, hippo and many other birds and beasts. Would recommend Wildlife Safaris and this package in particular.

Breathtaking exposure to animals in the wild, the landscape & the Crater & extremely educational!
When we were exploring taking a Safari, we considered a number of organizations to travel with. We were won over by Easy Travel (ET) because of their timeliness in responding and willingness to spend time with us to understand what we would experience, answering questions and helping us understand what needed to be done regarding visas, vaccinations and flights. The overall trip was fabulous. ET picked us up at the airport, provided a comfortable/reliable vehicle, and a very experienced tour guide/driver who was committed to ensuring we had a fabulous experience. The lodges we stayed at had welcoming staff, comfortable space to stay and sleep in and the food for all three meals was nutritious and extremely tasty. As for the Safari, it exceeded our wildest dreams. We saw an endless assortment of animals, were able to in many instances be in close proximity of those animals and had a wonderful guide that endlessly took the time to answer all of our questions and to spend long hours with us in the Parks in constant search of the next great experience. I will also mention that the travel between the various parks is long and on dirt covered roads that are not well maintained and without much space for the 2 way traffic. Our guide was masterful in finding a careful balance in finding the right speed of travel balanced with the safety of the people in the jeep. I can easily say, that I am not sure that many of the other drivers exhibited that same level of expertise. The final comment would be to highlight the magnificance and beauty of the Crater. It shows why its one of the 7 wonders of the world. Our two minor points of opportunities for improvement would be as follows: 1) the lounges did not have much band width and as such access to the WIFI in the evenings was extremely slow; 2) one of our nights was extremely hot (low to mid 30's). The room did not have a/c and as such was extremely hot to sleep in (we had a fan that made it a bit more comfortable but still quite hot).

Professionalism, Efficiency, Availability and Constant Presence
We are very satisfied because we have received maximum attention and continuous assistance since we started organizing the trip, we thank Alessia for always being very helpful.
A special thank you to our guide Ally, known as Papaa, because he was truly wonderful, he was always very thorough in his explanations relating to the culture of Tanzania and ready to answer all our questions. We were able to see his profound knowledge of the places visited (Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro) because thanks to this, and also to a "hunter's eye”, in less than two days we were able to meet not only the BIG FIVE but even the BIG NINE and much more!. Ally also brilliantly resolved an unfortunate inconvenience that occurred during the tour. I take the liberty of recommending him to Italian visitors because he also speaks Italian well. In the Serengeti we also saw the sunrise from a hot air balloon, a fantastic experience!! The hotels chosen in both Tanzania and Zanzibar met our needs perfectly.

Good Communication
It was the best experience,
Communication through the email was fast, simple and solid. We enjoyed our four days mid-range safari in Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Tarangire. The cost was worth the safari. Dallas Africa Safaris is the best.
Live life with no excuses, travel with no regret, can’t wait to visit Again In Tanzania

Reliable, flexible and courteous
"Embarking on a journey with SOPAI Safaris was nothing short of a dream come true for both my husband and me. Our first safari experience, set against the stunning backdrop of Tanzania, was genuinely overwhelming and exceeded all our expectations. From the initial booking stages with Rajab from SOPAI Safaris to our explorations with our tour guide, Vicent, every detail was orchestrated to perfection.
The accommodations provided were more than we could have hoped for – a seamless blend of comfort and authenticity, ensuring we were both cozily ensconced in luxury while being a mere whisper away from the untamed wild. The culinary experiences were equally remarkable, offering a delightful array of local and international flavors that catered wonderfully to our palates.
Venturing into the national parks, the true stars of our adventure, the animals, did not disappoint. Witnessing the raw and unfiltered moments of wildlife, from the majesty of roaming elephants to the quiet, potent prowls of big cats, was utterly surreal and profoundly moving.
Our tours were meticulously planned and executed, with Vicent ensuring not only our comfort and safety but also going above and beyond to provide insightful information, sharing stories of the land and its inhabitants that truly enriched our experience.
In summary, the journey with SOPAI was simply impeccable, elegantly combining thrilling adventures with serene moments of reflection amidst the boundless beauty of Tanzania. The memories crafted during our safari are indelibly imprinted in our hearts, and we are ever thankful to the SOPAI team for turning our dream safari into a splendid reality.
In a realm where the wild meets the tranquil, SOPAI Safaris stands out as a beacon of excellent and authentic safari experiences, and we can wholeheartedly recommend them to any traveler seeking to explore the spellbinding spectacles of Tanzania. Thank you, SOPAI, for gifting us memories that will be cherished for a lifetime."
