Great experience!
It was an amazing experience. We were in good hands at all times, always taken care of. The communication was excellent, the tour was a great value and worth every cent. Loved travelling with our guide, who was very knowledgeable and in tune with the locals as well as with us. He showed the beauty of the Serengeti and explained the circumstances and backgrounds of events. Would do it again in a heartbeat.

Breathtaking Nature
The Kruger national park is like no other place in the world. Its different watching wildlife animals vs animals in a zoo. Barney from Wildlife Safaris did a really good job bringing us around and spotting the animals to direct our attention in their way. I still don't know how he does it so well, but he was a park ranger before so I am sure that helps. Oddly, the period I went 26-31 Dec had a lot of rain so I am sure there would have been more animals to spot if not for the unpredictable weather.

Our tour operator impressed us with their exceptional professionalism and extensive knowledge
From the moment we embarked on our safari adventure, we knew we were in for an extraordinary experience, but little did we know it would become one of the best experiences our family has ever had. The service and care provided by the tour operator were nothing short of superb, setting a new standard for our future travels.
The tour operator was the heart and soul of our journey. Their friendliness wasn’t just a professional courtesy; it felt genuine and warm, making us feel like part of their family. Each guide and staff member we encountered was not only knowledgeable but also incredibly passionate about their work, which added an enriching layer to our adventure.
As for the accommodations, they were comfortable and seamlessly blended with the surroundings, allowing us to immerse ourselves in the beauty of the wilderness without sacrificing comfort. Waking up to the sounds of nature was a daily delight that we all cherished.
The culinary experience was a surprise highlight. Every meal was a delicious adventure, catering to all our dietary preferences without compromising on taste or quality. Dining under the stars, surrounded by the sounds of the wild, was magical and something we’ll never forget.
The wildlife sightings were awe-inspiring. We witnessed the majestic beauty of lions, the elegance of giraffes, and the playful nature of monkeys, to name just a few. The respect for nature and wildlife displayed by our guides was exemplary, teaching us all, especially the children, the importance of conservation.
Speaking of children, the safari was incredibly educational for them. They learned about different species, ecosystems, and the critical importance of conservation efforts. The guides were patient with their endless questions, turning every encounter into a learning opportunity.
Safety was paramount throughout our trip. We always felt secure, knowing that every measure was taken to ensure our wellbeing while respecting the wildlife and natural environment.
In conclusion, this safari wasn’t just a holiday; it was an unforgettable adventure that educated, inspired, and brought our family closer to nature and to each other. We left with a deeper appreciation for wildlife, countless memories, and a yearning to return. To anyone considering this experience, we wholeheartedly recommend it. It’s more than a journey; it’s a profound life experience.

Cheddy's knowledge, spotting skills, and sense of humor were outstanding
SafariSoles coordinated a 12 day safari experience of a lifetime for my grandson and I included Tangire, Lake Manyara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Mt. Kilamanjaro, and Gombe National Parks -Tanzania, and was an excellent value. There were activities for an octogenarian and for a young adult. We recommend them without any reservations whatsoever! The driver/guides were fantastic, especially Cheddy whose knowledge, spotting skills, and sense of humor were outstanding, including his command of the English language (he also speaks Russian and French). Our itinerary was superbly laid out to build to a climax with something special every day. The accommodations varied appropriately from superb tent to beautiful 4-star settings. We especially appreciated Cheddy including not only animals, but birds, trees, and plants in his discourse because of our particular interests. We saw thousands of wildebeasts and zebras migrating, more than 45 lions, hundreds of water buffalo, hippos, gazelles and all of their similar appearing "cousins", elephants, hyenas, warthogs, tik tiks, a mother leopard and her two cubs, cheetahs, and literally hundreds of different species of other wildlife and birds, geckos, and beetles, all "up close and personal". We visited Tanzania during the "wet off-season period" in January that few tourists choose and never regretted it. Safaris lasted from morning til evening every day except our air travel days. All of our meals and in country travel were included as well as a balloon and a night safari and visit to a Masai village. Every day contained a surprise discovery even more fantastic than the previous day, including watching the birth of a baby impala and all manner of animals breastfeeding their young (yes, even elephants!). To top it all, all meals were included and the food was never less than average and mostly excellent. Thankyou SafariSoles and all of the staff and guides for an amazing lifetime experience that we will never forget! We offer the following suggestion for future safari travelers: bring toilet paper, wipes, water shoes and flipflops, travel towel, and swimsuit.

Braventure Africa - the right team for your climb
Braventure Africa took us to the top of Mt. Kilimanjaro in style! They were in constant communication with us 6 months prior to the trip ensuring we were both physically and mentally prepared for the climb. This involved - training plans, gear check, health checks, gear recommendations, additional excursions that we could take before and after the climb. They were super reliable and well within market rates.
Very professional and went above and beyond all our expectations.
Braventure Africa is a boutique outfit with the right skillset and know how!
Very highly recommend them!

10/10 Safari
Absolutely to be recommended. The safari was incredible, from the organization to the communication great! Mandela, our guide, was able to answer all questions about the animals and Tanzania. The chef surprised us with delicious food at all meals. The camping spots had breathtaking views. The city tour in Arusha by local guide Chuke was also very interesting.
