Perfectly organized, everything went well, you get definitely more than expected
The communication from the beginning was easy - everything went smoothly and worked out perfectly. Leoprad Orchid Safaris organized everthing to our satisfaction, even our individuell wishes have been realized. Pick up from the hotel was on time and the relation with our very good driver Patrick was great from the beginning. His knowledge of the 5 different Parks (Tsavo East and West, Amboseli, Lake Nakuru and Masai Mara) and of the wild life was extraordinary and contributed a lot to our perfect game drives. We got definitely more than expected, including stuck in a waterhole or "fighting" with an adult male baboon for bread ;-) or a monkey for a banana :-) during a picknick close to Mara River.
Every game drive is different but we were very lucky to see more than only the "Big Fives" in a fantastic sceenery including Kilimandscharo. Be prepared for some looooong drives, but it is worth. The only recommendation from our side, stay in lodges inside the Parks. Accomodation have been extraordinary including delicious meals, but at Amboseli and Lake Nakuru to stay also inside the park would have given more time for game drives. All together, a great adventure and a perfect safari due to the perfect organisation by Leopard Orchid Safaris and our driver Patrick.

We had a great experience with Madukha Tours. Highly recommend it to others.
We had a great experience with Madukha Tours. Williams helped us plan our itinerary very well. He answered all our questions and would respond promptly on whatsapp. Our tour guide Paul was very good as well. He went above and beyond to make sure we saw as many animals as possible. We booked this from US but it was a very smooth experience. Our lodges that William had booked were very clean and offered great service. Food was great. Only thing our vehicle land cruiser made a beep noise if exceeded speed limit. It needs to be fixed as it was constantly making noise during our trip. Other than that it was a great experience and we will highly recommend them.

Superb Experience!
Pros:
1) We had a highly experienced guide/driver in Martin. He is very knowledgeable and takes time to explain the itinerary and what we see. A careful driver and we felt safe all the time with him.
2) The camps, Jambo Mutara (Ol Pejeta) and Mara Bush Camp (Masai Mara), were fantastic in terms of comfort, level of attentiveness and quality of service. We would definitely return to these camps in the future! Unfortunately our Amboseli camp was a bit of a let down in terms of quality and comfort.
3) We explored to Ol Pejeta, Amboseli and Masai Mara. Each park was magnificent and beautiful in its own way. Highly recommended.
Cons:
1) The distance between each park is quite big as Kenya is huge and the parks can be far apart. We drove for the most part but also travelled by flight from Amboseli to Masai Mara. The drive from Ol Pejeta to Amboseli took 9 hours! Without doubt, the flight was the least “painful” travel option. We will only opt for the flight option when we go back again. If you opt for road transport, do plan your itinerary carefully to ensure your travel time does not exceed 4-5 hours from park to park, else it gets physically exhausting.

Four Days on Mount Meru
I just finished a 4 day trek up Mount Meru with Memorable Vacation Africa and it was wonderful! The trek was absolutely beautiful and my friend and I both summited successfully. Reaching the summit was very challenging at times but the team took such amazing care of us the entire way up. I am so grateful for each of them. I first reached out to Evance when I decided to do Mount Meru, and helped me to organize the trip just how I wanted it! Thanks to Evance, Geoffrey (guide), Kassim (cook), Mohammad (porter/guide), and Alex (porter/server), we had an incredible trip!

Amazing, exceptional and very diligent one.
Socioolite Travel and Tours deserves to one of the best in the country. The guide is well informed, and meticulously does his job. The transportation is fast, reliable, safe and comfortable. The guide was friendly, well mannered and well articulated. There was never a boring moment from my trip, all the information was well communicated from booking to the actual trip. I never knew there was a whole world of exploration besides joburg until I traveled with Socioolite.

Socioolite provided the best customer service and care for the tour I chose
I took a one day tour of Johannesburg with Socioolite, and it was one of the best tours I’ve taken in my travels around the world. Shaun, the tour operator, was extremely friendly and went out of his way to curate a tour that allowed me to experience Johannesburg as a local would. Every place we visited gave me a unique insight and perspective into the history and importance of each of those places, and Shaun was very knowledgeable in his descriptions of the sites we visited. When the tour was over, not only had I met a tour operator, but I had made a friend. I would, hands down, choose Socioolite for another tour if I ever visit Johannesburg again.
