The most impressive trip ever!
Safarisoles Tour is a trustworthy partner for us! They first communicated with us about the detailed intinerary and accommodation plan patiently, and also provided us with lots of assistance during our trip, even in Zanzibar. It turns out that everything including the meals, the camps & lodges, the pickup, and all other services met or even exceeded our expectations.
Our guide, Isaack, is a really nice guy with 8-year safari advanture experience, as well as a "professional teacher", an "excellent risk controller", and an "experienced wildlife hunter"! He introduced a lot about the local culture and natural knowledges to us, and also found each of the BIG FIVE and so many different creatures, making it a perfect tour!
We chose 4 national parks this time - Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro, and Lake Manyara. All 4 parks would never disappoint you in December! It was so lucky for us to meet a group of Lion and witness the elephants' activity in Tarangire in Day 1, though the lions would appear every day later haha. In Day 2, the migration of wildbeast, zebra and impala in Serengeti was absolutely impressive and marvellous. We also spot the cheetah enjoying its meal at a super close distance and witnessed how fast it can run when several black-backed jackals approached its meal. In Day 3, we met a leopard feasting on its prey in the tree right after our breakfast, which made our day! We finally saw the Africa Black Rhinoceros in Ngorongoro in Day 4, which was also really fortunate for us!
We're truly impressed by everything in this intinerary and hope we could come back again!

Amazing safari - Jimmy was great!
This one was very affordable, with glamping accommodations and good food. Our guide, Jimmy, was great and was super helpful the whole time. We ran into a few issues along the way while getting money from an ATM and he was like our local friend throughout. He knew where to take us on the safari and was friendly, funny, and a great tour guide. Highly recommend!

Experiencia increíble
Incredibly well-planned itinerary, luxurious hotels and camps, delightful cuisine! The staff was friendly and attentive. The parks were impeccably maintained and a pleasure to explore.

Asante Sana Jimmy!
Our group of 6 had the pleasure of having Jimmy as our safari guide. On top of being an amazing driver through all the challenging roads and terrain, he answered our questions and made the entire 3 day excursion to find all the spectacular animals really fun. Now I know why they call it a game.
The experience would have not been the same if it weren’t for Jimmy. It felt like we were on the tour with a lifelong friend. The only thing I would change is having more time.
The value of the tour was great. Easily the best $350 spent for an unforgettable experience. I will recommend this tour to all my friends and family. Asante Sana Jimmy!

Safari with Jimmy!
We had Jimmy as our tour guide/driver and he was amazing! He was so nice and funny and really made our experience unforgettable. He was very informative and answered all of our questions. By the end of the trip he really seemed like a friend to us. We are grateful for Jimmy and anyone who gets to safari with him would be lucky!

Worth An African Safari
Great great service from these guys. Our Masai Mara tour went just as planned , we finally had the chance to see the great Mara river where the 8th wonder of the world takes place. I wish we came during the great migration, but we'll be back. Thank you African Vulture Safaris , it was Worth it.

very knowledgeable and helpful and made the tour an amazing experience
The tour was organized very well by MoAfrika Tours. They provided great accommodations and created a schedule easy to follow that helped us see all animals at Kruger National Park. The tour operators were knowledgeable and explained everything very well. I highly recommend this tour to others considering safari in Africa.

A dream come true!
Doing a safari was something I have always wanted to do: I love animals and wildlife, and seeing the plains of the Serengeti, the beautiful landscape of the NgoroNgoro caldera, and many more landscapes was something I've dreamt of since I was a child.
I set of with finding a locally based company do plan my trip and found African Big Cats Safaris (ABCS) based on the positive reviews I found in the internet, and they were all right! I booked a 9 days/8 nights safari with 3 of my friends, and with the help of the wonderful people at ABCS, all my wishes were incorporated and we got feedback on what might be a good add-on or not so good: We visited Lake Manyara, where we also had a Night Game drive, then went on to Ngoro Ngoro, then were in the Serengeti for 3 days, followed by visiting Lake Natron with a wonderful hike to a hidden waterfall that we had all to ourselves, and finished with Tarangire National Park.
From the moment we arrived, everything went just perfectly: We were picked up and brought to our accommodation, met Emanuel to discuss our upcoming trip, and spent our first night in Arusha. I highly recommend having a buffer day before you start, our flights were nearly 9h delayed, so we really needed the buffer day.
Once the safari started, we were blown away!!! Lions, elephants, and buffalos on the very first day! The hauntingly beautiful landscape of Lake Manyara; the amazing wildlife of the Ngoro Ngoro: wildebeest, zebras, antelopes wherever you look! And in between, if you're as lucky as us, even a serval cat, a baby leopard, and 4!!!! rhinos, including a baby! Granted, all from a distance, but we hadn't thought we'd be so lucky!
Then the many faces of the Serengeti - green bushland, golden plains, rocky outcrops with lions throning on top; cheetah families feasting on their fresh kill, and baby lions joining their Mom for dinner; rock hyrax and mongooses of all variations (I LOVE!!! dwarf mongooses now, they are the cutest), birds of all the colours of the rainbows it feels like, and unexpectedly, also here tree climbing lions. =) Only the leopards almost completely eluded us, those sneaky guys... just one more reason to go there again!
Then Lake Natron, which was maybe indeed a bit too far away, as we probably "wasted" overall a day of driving to get there and back; but it was definitely worthwhile seeing it once. The landscape is completely different again, you have all those flamingos, a different climate, and then this beautiful hidden landscape. And then, last, Tarangire National Park, where we saw again lots of animals and especially birds!
The lodges we had booked were "middle class" - but they felt absolutely luxurious! The people working there were amazing and so nice! Lovely people! The camp at Ngoro Ngoro crater rim was one highlight for us (the Rhino Lodge): in the morning, zebras and water buck grazing in front of our balcony; and at night, the little oven to keep us warm. <3 And then, even better: the tented camp in the Serengeti, where at night you might have buffalos grazing in front of your tent, you can hear the lions and hyenas calling at night, and in the morning you are greated by a pair of Dig Digs. The food was good and often we could ask for what we wanted for our lunch package, at the lodges we typically had buffet and could taste our way through.
Every evening we planned the next day, and everything worked without a hitch!
And last but not least: Our guide, Endeni, was just perfect!!! I can't stress enough how great it was to have him as our driver and guide; he was skilled with the 4x4 and we didn't get stuck even in difficult situations; he always judged the situations very well; he also was well connected and so we often heard about where to find lions, cheetahs or potentially leopards (we were just sadly always the 10th+ car and by then, the leopards are typically long gone, not liking us paparazzi too much ;)). Even while driving, he would spot an animal somewhere on the side of the road in the bushes, dozens of meters away, when we could barely find it without his help even with binoculars. Simply amazing! Plus, after he realized that I liked to engage with the Tanzanian culture, he also taught me some Ki Suaheli (like the words for the animals), and told me about the country and the people living there. He was always friendly and patient with us, and we had the best time!
The only bad part was... having to leave. =( It was an incredible experience, and we were even offered support for our stay on Zanzibar following the Safari. If you are looking for a company for your safari: This is it! I can't recommend these people highly enough. =) And if, by chance, you will get Endeni as your guide: Hearty greetings from the very talkative girl from Austria, who wouldn't stop asking questions ;) Mambo vipi!

The perfect choice you can make!
Thanks a lot Lenchada Safaris for everything.
I did the 5 days Safari tour and I would give it 10 out of 5.
Everything was well organized, the camp in massai mara exceeded my expectation i think it’s the best budget camp you can get by far.
Our driver Richard is the best, well organized , always in a good mood and shared a lot of information during the tour! During the 5 days you get : game drive, exploring the Savana by a land cruiser, then the boat safari and the cycling tour in Naivasha. Top experience! I totally recommend.
