awesome
My wife and I did a bucket list trip to the 4 day luxury private fly/in and out - Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater safari in early October of 2023. We booked directly with Safari Soles and could not have been happier, and I cannot recommend them enough. I booked this myself, having contacted several safari companies and settled on Safari Soles due to their excellent communication and price. Thanks Happiness for the great communication!! We booked a private luxury safari for just my wife and I and I would highly recommend the splurge - It was so worth it in my opinion. Safari Soles handled our flights from Zanzibar to the Serengeti and from Arusha to Zanzibar and all the lodge bookings. As this was a trip of a lifetime, we were excited but nervous having booked thru the internet. But, Elias our driver (now known as triple E - Eagle Eyed Elias) picked us up from the Serengeti airstrip and off we went. I'd say within a hour we had seen Leopards, Elephants, Crocs, Hippos, Monkeys, Lions and so much more - amazing!! Elias was awesome and made the trip so much more memorable with his driving and guiding skill - we were able to eat breakfast, lunch and dinner with him and got to know him much better. He was able to cater to our wants during the safari. We basically were out all day and into some pretty far off areas of the Serengeti in search of all the animals. We really wanted to see Cheetahs after seeing all but the Rhino's in the Serengeti (rarely seen) and Elias delivered - we say 4 cheetahs and even got to see them hunting - an amazing scene watching there speed after gazelles. We did see rhinos in the Ngorongoro crater. It was an amazing experience and one we will never forget.
The lodges were very nice and comfortable with good food - buffet style for breakfast and dinner with packed lunch mostly for eating out in the Serengeti. We had snacks, and sodas and water in the Landrover available to us as well as wine and beer. It was amazing to hear lions roar from your room and night!! The staff at the lodges were very nice and friendly and helpful in walking to/from the main eating area at night - you had to call them as they did not want you walking alone due to possible animals being out. On the Ngorongoro crater lodge, literally right outside our lodge was 10 cape buffalo eating the foliage - so cool.
Again, a trip of a lifetime - super big thanks to Elias and Happiness from Safari Soles. Cannot recommend them enough and would for sure book thru them again.

They are amazing
They are amazing. Meals were delicious, they have a younger chef who really knows how to cook. Macha, the driver, is the best. Accommodations were also great. And the experience, worthy.

Nelson was friendly, responsive and knowledgeable.
Mufasa organized a last minute tour for us to Amboseli, for a short weekend trip. They found us a beautiful camp/lodge and a fantastic guide/driver on short notice. It was good value, we saw tonnes of animals and our guide, Nelson, was so friendly, knowledgable, and easily navigated the park. So happy we went. Thank you!

The tour operator was amazing, their communication was clear and they organised everything perfectly
Our experience with Sunset Adventure Safari was simply perfect. From the very first contact everything went smooth. Emma and Anna from te Sunset Adventure Safari team were quick and clear in their responses. They put together a trip for us that we could never have imagined ourselves. And to all our questions and changes and even more questions and even stupid questions, their response was always friendly and down to business.
The trip itself was a dream. The accommodations where we stayed were beautiful (if you have the opportunity to spend the night in a tent: absolutely do it!), the places we visited were breathtaking, the wildlife was impressive, and the bit of bad luck we had with the airline (a suitcase did not come with us on the flight) was solved for us by Sunset Adventure Safari: without us having to worry any further, our suitcase was taken care of.
We would also like to give a special salute to our guide Abrahman. What a fantastic guide he is! He is cheerful, energetic and smart, with an enormous amount of knowledge and a clear love for his profession. We have no idea if you can choose your own guide, but if so, choose Abrahman.

Unbelievable!
Suricata far surpassed our expectations for lodgings, food, professional guiding and taking care of our every need. Our guide Elias was kind, considerate, knowledgeable of local flora and fauna. Always punctual and went out of his way to provide us with astounding picture taking possibilities. He drove like a pro, making us feel safe and confident in his abilities. Suricatas team really cares that your experience is the best that can be provided. Value for money was exceptional and was relatively seamless.

Paradise and Wilderness provided an outstanding safari experience from beginning to end!
We just completed a 2 week safari in Tanzania that we booked through Paradise & Wilderness. Our booking agent Anouk was extremely helpful and answered all of our questions before and during the trip. The experience was excellent! We stayed at multiple lodges during our trip. We found them all to be clean and the staff friendly and accommodating. We were also able to easily book additional activities during the trip. Our jeep driver did an outstanding job taking us through the various parks and helping us to see and learn about the animals. The food was very good and the staff at all of the lodges did a great job of accommodating my special dietary needs. A special thank you to the Lake Manyara Lodge chef and his staff who really went out of their way to ensure that I was satisfied with all of my meals. Overall, I highly recommend Paradise & Wilderness and hope that I can one day go there again!
