Excellent company
Me and my husband went on the 8 day budget safari to Tarangire, Manyara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Lake Eyasi safari. From our first contact we knew we were in good hands. They always responded very quick and provided clear and good information beforehand. The safari itself went beyond our expectations. Especially because of our guide and cook. Felix was a friendly and professional guide that was very knowledgeable about the animals and always provided good information and advice. We were also really happy with our cook Abdullah that went along to cook for us. Every meal was a surprise and celebration. He cooked so many delicious things and soon we were always looking forward to our meals to see what he made. Abdullah kept surprising us with his cooking skills. It was the best food I ever had on any tour. All in all, Wakanda is a very good and professional tour operator. What sets them apart is the amazing food and attention to detail. Abdullah always made fresh bread and lots of fresh vegetables. So we had a varied diet with lots of choice. We always felt taken care of and they made every effort to give us a good safari experience. We saw so many animals, including the big five. If i were to go again, I would choose Wakanda again. With a special request for Felix and Abdullah. I am hoping Abdullah will write his own cookbook.

Awesome Experience
MoAfrika Tours went out of their way to accommodate my safari so it would not conflict with my departing flight, pick up and drop off were On Time. The safari was awesome, and the guide excellent, and one ecperience I will never forget,, small group, saw all animals, and some like the elephants got pretty close for us to admire. I would recommend this tour to anybody hands down!

Couldn't have hope for a better tour operator
This tour was the absolute highlight of my trip to Kenya, thanks in no small part to our host Nicholas who was the perfect tour guide and travel companion. Very knowledgeable and engaging throughout, making sure we were all comfortable and got the most from our game drives. Even after some unpredictable delays (flat tire/stuck in mud) Nicholas kept our spirits high and made these potentially annoying things part of the trip.
Nicholas was open to changing plans or times around us and rearranging lunch and restroom breaks when needed. He chatted with us and also left us to talk on our own, the perfect balance. The tour was absolutely worth the money and I would recommend it to anyone travelling to Kenya.

Best Safari experience I could expected
Siya is the best guide for safaris, knowing everything about the different parks, the animals, Kilimanjaro region and Tanzania.
He is very kind, funny, available and helpful. I will definitely arrange an other journey with him/ Bahati Safaris.

Best experience with reasoning rate!
Our eleven-day experience to East Africa, Tanzania and Kenya ending up in Zanzibar with Silver Spark Africa Safaris was a dream come true. We enjoyed every bit of the safaris. Abongo ensured everything was running smoothly no delays, my assigned guide Peter, was very friendly and welcoming he also maintained the time. The morning drives were so amazing, beautiful animal sceneries in both Kenya and Tanzania. It formed the best game drive ever, in the morning in both Amboseli and Masai Mara, thanks to Peter. Abongo was always available via call or mail, he made everything easy for us by answering all our questions instantly during our trip and before our trip. I would like to recommend Silver Spark Africa and use their team and services again without hesitation going back to Kenya.

Fabulous Tanzanian safari tours
Our Safari Soles experience in Tanzania and Zanzibar was simply amazing, extraordinarily well organized with superb local guides. We designed a two-week trip combining the great migration with 5 days on Zanzibar. Magreth helped us design our own private tour and was extremely helpful and generous getting our trip organized before arriving and very responsive to our needs and questions once we were on safari. Our trip was a total immersion into Tanzania from seeing all the major birds and mammals you want to see in Tanzania, getting a personal perspective on life in Tanzania in conversations with the super Safari Soles guides, staying at some fabulous hotels and getting to see and interact with traditional tribal people from Masai villagers to hunter gatherer bushmen. Our local guides were truly special. Izaak, who was our main safari guide was just fabulous. Warm, kind, and a skilled and knowledgeable naturalist, he was a highlight of our trip. We also had an outstanding guide, Alex while visiting the tribal villages who was not only extremely well versed in the cultures we visited, but fluent in English, Swahili, and the unique tribal languages of the people we visited. We were generally disappointed with Zanzibar. We stayed two nights at the Cumbie Island Nature Preserve. It was a well-run carbon neutral island retreat, but the coral reefs were in bad shape and on their way out, so I wouldn't recommend it for snorkeling or diving. We had hoped to see a healthy Zanzibar reef, so were very disappointed. If we redesigned our trip, we would have stayed a single night on Cumbie and skipped the depressing reefs. We had a very enjoyable trip to a spice farm on Zanzibar that we would highly recommend. We also found Stonetown rather disappointing. It was rundown and overrun by tourist shops with little history or culture to compensate for the tourist shop exposure.
Overall, I would enthusiastically recommend Safari Soles for a Tanzanian private safari. It is a very well-run small company that emphasizes quality over quantity with attention to detail. The staff and guides are exceptional and will help you design a perfect trip for your needs, rather than just a generic Tanzanian Safari. My wife and I are experienced travelers and potentially hard to please professionals, I am a retired marine ecologist with decades of tropical experience and my wife is a lawyer with a keen eye for organization and detail. So, we are potentially tough customers, but can't say enough about the quality and people running Safari Soles tours. If we return to Tanzania we will rely again on their experience, knowledge, attention to detail and kindness. They are simply a great group.

Quick response and good attitude tho need to be more detailed in arrangement
Everything was all good. They have excellent service and quick response to any issue that occurred in the trip. Just to make sure all the details (morning drive/ night drive/ hotels)in itinerary are right as you planned as there were some differences in the end.
