Safari dreams come true with Julius T
Julius and his team were great with communication. Reliable and trustworthy. Everything went smoothly. We had an excellent, experienced driver, which is very important when doing a safari. I have no complaints. Highly recommend!

Great Safari Experience
We had a great safari experience in Tanzania that exceeded our expectations. The Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Lake Manyara were great with some incredible wildlife. Our guide Lucas did an excellent job also. He had a great skill for spotting animals and gave us lots of information about the locations and wildlife, which made the trip very rewarding and interesting. I’d recommend him and Serengeti Smile to anyone interested in taking a safari in Tanzania.

Great communication and superb organisation
My sister and I came across Socioolite through Tourist Information in Johannesburg. From our first phone call to the end of our One day Safari to Pilanesberg National Park, we were impressed with the level of communication from Shaun. He phoned with details of pick up and he checked on the morning of the safari that the driver had arrived. He called the driver at the end of the day to ensure everything had gone well.
By messages, we had quotes for our needs and although we liked the idea of the 2 day trip very much, we opted for the day safari. Our day was brilliant. The driver was excellent, sharing additional knowledge about his country on the way there and back. He used a different route back so that we would see more of the area. We stopped by the dam for a walk and to take photos and were thrilled when we did a spontaneous stop for a sunset photo.....because just over the road was a giraffe! No money can buy that!
The safari was brilliant. A smaller group meaning each pair had more than one seat, if they wanted to move around. Luckily, our group included some younger people (in 20s and 30s). They were great at spotting animals and informing the driver. We saw The Big Five, plus much more.
I can thoroughly recommend Socioolite for your trips. Indeed, I am using them again for my next trip, this time for Kenya.
Thank you, Shaun and your team for making our 1st safari such a memorable one.

Unforgettable 3-Day Safari from Arusha to Serengeti & Ngorongoro!
Our 3-day camping safari was nothing short of incredible! From the moment we were picked up in Arusha, everything was perfectly organized. The drive through the stunning landscapes set the tone, but nothing compared to the moment we entered Serengeti National Park and immediately spotted lions, elephants, giraffes, buffalo and even a cheetah.
Camping in the Serengeti was an experience I’ll never forget. The tents were safe, meals were freshly prepared, and the guide and chef made us feel safe and cared for the entire time. Waking up to the sounds of wildlife right outside was surreal.
On the final day, exploring Ngorongoro Crater felt like stepping into a natural wonder of the world—thousands of animals in one breathtaking place, from zebras and wildebeest to hippos and lions. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable, spotting wildlife we would have easily missed and sharing fascinating insights about their behavior and the ecosystem.
This trip was the perfect balance of adventure, comfort, and authentic safari experience. I cannot recommend it enough—absolutely a 5/5, and one of the most memorable trips of my life!

Nice and quiet place with wonderful people and beautiful landscape
It has been amazing to stay at this lodge, we have had everything we need and we have been alone! The people was so nice with us and always worried about our needs.

Amazing
I'm Kenneth
I went on an amazing Safari with Terenga Safaris, and it will always be a Safari to remember. From the time our guide Caleb picked me up from the hotel, to the end of the safari, I can't say anything but praise his knowledge and panctuality. I got to see Owen falls dam and the source of River Nile, Lake Victoria. It will always be a Safari to remember and I recommend Terenga Safaris for sole travelers

A Trip Of A Life Time
Our experience with Family Luxury Safaris was nothing short of exceptional.
From the very beginning, their prompt and professional communication made planning our safari smooth and stress-free.
A special thank you to Geoffrey and Peter, whose attention to detail, quick thinking, and solution-oriented approach ensured that every moment of our trip was perfect and nothing short of an adventure.
Geoffrey and Peter went above and beyond in organizing a truly memorable and spectacular safari for our family. Every part of the journey – from accommodations to game drives – was flawlessly coordinated. You can truly trust them to handle every detail with care and precision.
We felt well looked after every step of the way, and their ability to adapt and respond to any situation with calm efficiency made all the difference.
Family Luxury Safaris created an experience we will cherish forever, and we cannot recommend them highly enough!

The epitome of hospitality
When we arrived in Tanzania at 5 am Simon aka MJ greeted the three of us; my Daughter Jen , my wife Donna and Myself . Simon was the epitome of hospitality. He invited me to sit in the front of the Safari vehicle . From there our relationship grew with every slow mile he drove , road conditions are not a strength in Tanzania .
MJ now , became our most accessible source of insight .
We were never intimidated nor concerned about our questions directed to him . His responses were comprehensive, but not overly so . We learned an endless amount about the African wildlife and people from MJ .
Sadly the adventure required we part company as Kenya was our next stop . MJ left all of us with priceless memories . Our lives were enhanced thru our relationship .
MJ thank you very much!

A great success with Safari Soles
A family with two boys, ages 12 and 15, went to Tanzania and Zanzibar. Safari Soles helped me plan my trip, designing the itinerary based on what I'd read online. We arrived in Arusha, spent a day at the Materuni Falls, coffee plantations, and Kikuletwa hot springs, then Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro, the Lake Eyasi tribes (Hadzabe and Datoga), and a day at Mto Wambo (I loved it!). In total, 9 wonderful days in a private jeep.
Our driver, Aziz, could have participated in the Paris-Dakar without a problem—it was wonderful. And our guide, Kabila, was fantastic, since I requested one in Spanish. Thanks to both of them!
After that, we went to Zanzibar, and although I booked hotels independently, I ended up booking several more activities with this agency.
Furahini, my contact at the agency for everything, was infinitely patient and kind. Thank you!
I recommend this agency 100%, really.
