Fina is the best! Warm charming and intuitively understands clients to give them the best experience
Fina gave us phenomenal service on short notice. She was very responsive and organized. She managed to get us into something that was booked out months into the future because she goes the extra mile. I will forever think of her as the go to travel agent for Kenya and other regions she covers.

Once in a lifetime safari to see great migration
We had an amazing safari with safari soles during a holiday to Tanzania and Zanzibar to celebrate my daughter's and son's end of exams (A-levels and GCSEs). It was truly a holiday of a lifetime.
I chose safari soles through the safaribookings.com website, mainly because of Patrick's excellent communication but also because they offered a fly-in from Zanzibar.
We were very lucky with the migration as we literally flew into a wildebeest herd on the kogatende airstrip. We met Raymond, our very cool and friendly guide for the 5 days, and within an hour we were watching wildebeest crossing the mara river. Raymond was great at seeking out the animals, going against the flow of traffic (the other jeeps) at one point to get us to a pride of lions as one of the first jeeps on the scene.
Safari soles are a well organised and established outfit based in Arusha. They were extremely knowledgeable, helped me select the right itinerary and made sure everything was seamless. We stayed at very nice luxury tented lodges moving from northern Serengeti to central Serengeti, to Ngorongoro crater and Lake Manyara.
A particular highlight was the balloon ride over the Mara river on day two.
I would definitely recommend going through a local operator like safari soles. Not only are they cheaper than the major international tour companies, but they are much more knowledgeable and are committed to ensuring you have a perfect trip.

Lion King supersedes all others! They would get 10 stars if that was an option!
Lion King provided excellent communication with exceptional organization that met our 10 day safari dream of a lifetime!! With Mecky as our safari guide, we were ecstatic to see the Big 5!! We highly recommend Lion King Adventures!!

Perfect Trekking Experience Because of Coordinated, Professional Team
Rwanda Eco Company was a communicative, professional team that made my gorilla trekking experience in Volcanoes Park absolutely fantastic. My guide, Emile, was punctual, so knowledgeable about everything Rwanda-related, and happy to answer my endless questions about the country. When we arrived at the park for trekking, he recommended I hire a porter and explained why (supports the community, people have unknown reactions to the altitude, etc), which ended up being a VERY wise decision - my trek went from medium to hard when the gorillas moved. The trekking itself was life-changing and exhausting. So it was a relief to see Emile patiently waiting when I returned six hours later, and he was ready to lend a helping hand with translating for some post-trek shopping. We went to a fabulous lunch place, after which, I was dropped off at my hotel. I have to say, one of the best things about this company was the mere fact that they provided my guide’s name and phone number prior to my arrival in Rwanda AND Emile was so responsive via phone. It made all the difference in feeling secure about planning a trip from across the globe. Overall, this was an easy to plan, fulfilling experience that I will remember forever. Thank you, Rwanda Eco Company!

The local tour guide was friendly and very well conversant with the safari tour.
I recently went on a safari tour with PeaceMatunda in Tanzania at Serengeti and it was an unforgettable experience! From start to finish, everything was well-organized and seamless.
The local tour guide was friendly and very well conversant with the safari tour. The most extraordinary part of the safari experience with PeaceMatunda is the shared experience at PeaceMatunda center (school and orphanage). The children at PeaceMatunda are lively and very energetic, I loved the experience at the Center.

Good experience
We did the trip named "12-Day Incredible Safari of Game Drive, Stone Age, Hiking". Season: august. This proposal includes Mikumi N.P., Ruaha N.P., Isimila Stone Age site, Udzungwa mountains trek and Nyerere N.P. We enjoyed a lot this trip, it has been a nice experience. Our guide, Kapande, did a excellent work, offering us kindness, punctuality and professionalism every day.
All National Parks are very nice. Mikumi is small, so looks a bit crowded, but on the other hand it's easy to see animals. Ruaha N.P is far away, indeed, but offer us the opportunity to enjoy a safari in a uncrowded place, where is rare to come across other vehicles. Nyerere N.P. is also a quiet place, and the river safari was pleasant, where we were alone. Udzungwa mountains trek was also very nice and peaceful (we choose to go to the big waterfall, distant 2 hours -walking slowly-).
Camp Bastian Mikumi: nice place. Kind staff, correct food (buffet food)
Ruaha Hilltop Lodge: very nice location, friendly people, correct food
Selous Safari Lodge: Excellent bungalows in a very nice garden... but poor food.
Selous Kinga Lodge: Nice bungalows in a quiet place. Correct food.
It is a trip designed for safari and nature lovers. It's worth.
