Amazing experience! - "Mom! When will we go again?"
Me and my two kids (10 and 6 years old) traveled with Soul of Tanzania and the experience was unique for the 3 of us. The kids still ask about the driver, Ali, and it was one month ago.
The trip was planned only with 2 month in advance and the prompt reply of my emails was the key for everything being possible.
Everything was very organized, since day one, picking at airport, till returning back to it.
Ali, the driver was very experienced and full of patience to handle with high drive kids and their stubborn "things".. He really knew how to adequate the logistic of 5 days full time safari with young kids!
About the Safari itself, it was an amazing experience, with Ali's knowledge, it seems we were inside national geographic episode. We had very lucky and saw everything what was expected.
We could think 5 days of Safari it's hard specially with kids of this age, but even with the youngster, 5 days passed without noticing For that, besides the guide/driver, it has contributed all the wonderful organization of Soul of Tanzania, and their unique, hot, fresh, daily meals, which are of the most importance, when we have kids - and even my kids noticed the difference between their meals and the other groups prepackaged lunches.
At the end I may say: 5 STARS for you, ALI!
and share my son's last day comment: "it seems we began only yesterday and it was already finishing? I want to return on the dry season!"

Mesmerising
Africa is really a great place to travel, and being a foreigner, this place has made me feel at home. I visited Kenya this new year with my family of four. I was happy that my kids loved the safari experience, and enjoyed every part of the trip. We were on a 5-Day Masai Mara-Nakuru trip and loved how Esther and the team made us feel at home. The tour guide Alex was friendly and everything was managed efficiently even though it was a joining tour. Our kids were very delighted on spotting animals starting from baboons, rhino, Lions, Elephants, giraffes and flamingos among others. Lake Nakuru Park was the first destination we visited. My wife being an ornithologist loved bird watching as there were over 200 species of bird all over. Rift Valley View Point gave us a panoramic view of the mesmerising valley. Maasai Mara was therapeutic for our family to watch all the big five, I advise everyone to visit this place as our Maasai Mara-Nakuru trip was truly a great experience and also budget-friendly. Esther and the Starvel Safaris team made sure that we enjoyed every bit of it. This was recommended to me by a friend and I recommend it to everyone.

6 days Mt. Elgon hiking
We inteded to hike Mt. Elgon and Kisoro Tours Uganda has offered us a complete package incl. transfer, organizing a team for hiking and all necessary arrangements incl. park fees. Comparring with Kili or Mt. Kenya, climbing Mt. Elgon is not so demanding (the maximal altitute is 4,321 masl), so you can simply enjoy the fast virgin nature out of civilization. Visit of Sipi falls is an obligation, we have been charmed by their beauty.

Outstanding
We booked four Safari Collection properties in Kenya - one night at Giraffe Manor, 3 nights at Sasaab in Samburu country. 3 nights at Solios (rhino conservancy) and 6 nights at Sala's camp ion the Mara. All transfers were by light aircraft. We were met on arriving in Kenya & delivered to the airport when we left. All the lodges were great. We had excellent food, great hospitality & wonderful game drives. We went out of season as it can get busy during the migration & everywhere was quiet except for Giraffe Manor. The game drives were some of the best we have done & all vehicles were eminently suitable (no crowded Kombi vans).
Safari Partners were excellent to deal with & we will certainly use them again.

wonderful roundtrip in Tanzania
For the second time we have undertaken a safari with enchanting and guide James Foya. After visiting the classics Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater and Tarangire-NP during our first stay, we went on a freely planned, individual Tanzania tour in January this year. The planning and implementation of enchanting was excellent. Selected destinations and hotels gave us a comprehensive insight into the nature and people of Tanzania. Our companions James and Steve brought us impressively close to Tanzania. Neither situation could upset our two guides. Both safe drivers, they mastered every difficult situation. The communication worked extremely well, since James is almost perfectly fluent in the German language. It is particularly commendable that James got my suitcase, which was lost during the flight, after 8 days. That would have been impossible for me alone. If our paths lead us to Tanzania again, we do not need to consider who we are going with. Thank you for 3 unforgettable weeks and 3300 km through Tanzania.
