Amazing experience with unique personal safaritour!
Where to begin.. a 5-star rating isn’t even enough! We wanted a 6-day safari, not standard itinerary, and we were not flexible in dates. Yet, Godlisten of Colours Africa Tours customized a tour for us and made it happen. Initially we looked for a group tour, but got the option to go for a private tour, and chose that one. Best call ever; 360 view, unique romantic private experience, full attention from tourguide, etc.
From beginning to end, everything was very well arranged. The on-site briefing, the daily amazing cooking from Baba Tao, the driving and guiding of Benjamin - truly a professional with knowledge and experience of wildlife and nature, unique animal-spotting skills (we have seen more than the big 5), taking al the time to explain and answer your questions -, and lastly the hospitality and helpfulness of them all since we lost our luggage in connecting flights and had to go on safari without it. Lending jackets from the company, and assisting in calling with the airline desk was done without hesitation.
We will be back in another season, and would definitely recommend to anyone to go with Colours Africa Tours, a small local operator who will do anything in their power to give you the fullest and unique experience to remember!
Asante sana!

Great and personal service!
I had an absolutely great service and experience with Nhlalala Travel. I had quite a lot of questions ahead of the booking and the trip and it was all attended to swiftly and in a great and helpful tone from Norman Muchacheni. I needed to adjust the timings a bit to reach my flight on the last day and that was not an issue at all and I made it all on time. I was picked up in Johannesburg by a very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful driver, also called Norman, who was great company and conversation partner on the whole trip - he drove safely, and knew his way and how to handle/beat the traffic. A true pleasure - Thank you!

Knowledgeable, experienced, and kind!
A once in a lifetime experience. The company was very kind and Freddy, our guide, was very experienced and was able to give us so much knowledge about the animals. We saw the big 5 and more! Honestly, 10/10 experience.

Safari Soles is the only way to go! Unforgettable adventure with an unforgettable company
Our safari with Safari Soles was an absolute dream come true. From our first interaction with the booking agent, Regina, to the moment we bid farewell to our incredible guide, Ernest, every aspect of our journey was filled with exceptional communication, itinerary customization, and the warmest hospitality.
Regina, our dedicated booking agent, played a pivotal role in ensuring that our safari experience was tailored to our preferences. We travelled as a group of three and every accommodation was not only beautiful, clean, and exciting in and of itself, but she was able to secure three single beds in each location which made our experience all the better. Her prompt and clear communication made the entire booking process a breeze and she patiently listened to our interests to expertly craft an itinerary that aligned with our desires.
We booked a day in Moshi, a day hike in Kilimanjaro, and 4 days of Safari hitting Tarangire, Serengeti (x2 days), and Ngorogoro crater. After flight difficulties that left us arriving a day late, Regina was communicative in amending our airport pick up and helped ensure we still made our day hike to Kilimanjaro. I cannot emphasize enough how great her communication was - from crafting the itinerary to fit our requests, to providing recommendations, to promptly following up every time I emailed, to communicating over Whatsapp when we arrived, Regina's attention to detail and commitment to customization truly set Safari Soles apart from the rest. The digital itinerary that Safari Soles provides as well is incredible - super informative and fun to share with friends and family.
Our safari adventure truly came to life with our remarkable guide, Ernest. His deep knowledge of the local wildlife and passion for the Sergengeti set our tour apart - he had an answer for every question we threw at him and his driving rivaled Formula 1 when it came to getting us to spots in time to see even the most elusive animals (we saw all of the Big 5!). Ernest's ability to spot animals from a distance is unparalleled. He knew all the best spots to look, filled us in on a myriad of wildlife facts, and gave us ample time to observe / take in the experience. What made Ernest stand out even more was his genuine kindness and thoughtfulness. He went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and safe throughout our journey. Ernest's warm and friendly demeanor created a welcoming and fun atmosphere, allowing us to connect with both him and the wildlife in a truly meaningful way. His patience in answering our questions and sharing fascinating insights made the safari not only an enriching experience, but a truly unforgettable one.
Safari Soles' commitment to excellence was evident in every aspect of our adventure. The accommodations provided were not only luxurious but also perfectly situated to immerse us in the beauty of the surrounding landscapes. The meticulously planned meals showcased the local cuisine and far exceeded our expectations each day more than the last! The entire team's dedication to ensuring our satisfaction and happiness was truly commendable.
If you're seeking a safari adventure that combines the best of wildlife, personalized service, and unforgettable memories, I cannot recommend Safari Soles enough.

Fun day safari
Friendly staff and a customer service chat that a real human responds to. Friendly and efficient van drivers. The tour guide was very friendly and lived sharing stories at the various animals. It was supposed to be a rainy day but the rain held off and the sun came out after lunch. We got to see a leopard, hippos, rhino, zebra, giraffes, wildebeest and a couple others. Totally glad I gave up sleep to do this trip to Pilanesberg. So worth it ,

Great value for money. Flawless service.
Completed the 5 Day Budget Safari. Great value and flawless service, far exceeded expectations. Stayed at the Kruger Adventure Lodge, hardly a budget feel. Lovely rooms, attentive staff, cheap beers and excellent nightly meals. The communal dining hall feels like a wedding reception and encourage d socialising amongst the other guests. 5 days was plenty to get the whole experience, including 1 day of the Panorama Route Tour which is an absolute must do. It provides a welcome break after two days of safari and you get to see views and sights outside of Kruger National Park. Would happily do again and recommend to friends back home as a first time experience, as it was for us (Melbourne, Australia).

Good communicator, accommodative and knowledgeable.
The game drive was educative, Moses was able to engage us all despite being age differences. The driver Flex was able to locate a wide variety of animals in Nairobi national park. We were able to spot lion , rhino, giraffe, hippo, crocodile, amongst others. We enjoyed ourselves. Value for money.
