Tanzania
Thank you, Safari365, Eliane and Trevor, for all your help putting together our trip. We had a wonderful time and are still talking about our experiences, and sharing our photos with friends.
The tented lodges were beautiful, the people of Tanzania were so friendly and fun, and the safari experiences were unbelievable!
Also, we highly recommend Albert, our guide. He was so knowledgeable, kind, fun and we loved getting to know him.

5 days private safari
We started our safari after the private tour of the city of Arusha.
Abdul our driver and guide picked us up from the hotel and we visited the Tarangire, Serengeti (north and central), and Ngorongoro parks.
Abdul was very knowledgeable and experienced. It was impressive how he could drive and at the same time spot animals kilometers away!
He shared his knowledge about animal wildlife and even borrowed his book to learn about the fauna.
He also tried to accommodate our requests and wishes.
Also thanks to him we were able to see the big 5 and a lot of other animals in wonderful scenarios. Each park provided a different environment, different animals and a particular highlight for the day. In one day we were lucky also to see the crossing of the Mara river.
At the end of each day we shared dinner with Abdul telling the amazing experience we just had. We were really a team!
Abdul he took really good care of us and of the car condition.
Excellent organization from Safari Soles as we had top accommodations in lodges and camps.
The food every day was very tasty and varied. We also had unlimited drinks in the jeep.

Walk at the foothills of the Kilimanjaro + swim in the hot-springs
We did the excursion at the foothills of Kilimanjaro after our safari.
Frank was our guide and showed us the safest way to walk from the village to the waterfall. The path was a bit slippery but he made sure we completed the trekking without any incident. Even the harder part was easy with his guidance.
The landscape is quite characteristic, and after the walk we got the explanation of the coffee preparation, followed by lunch.
We completed the day with the swimming in the hot springs. There is a bit of current, but also a quiet pond where you can easily swim. Frank was very attentive to all our needs, and always with a smile. Overall a very nice experience!

G.O.A.T.S
Amina is by far the best at personalizing private tours and puts extra special touches for special celebrations. She is always available and willing to make any desired changes to ensure you have the best experience.
Colin is really knowledgeable and pleasant. We had the best time with him during the Materuni Waterfall hike with Barack and the Coffee Boys.
Frank is a gem! I still don’t know how he managed to drive for hours to a new location each day. He made sure we saw the Big Five and then some! Frank you are family now. (BDA)
Safari G.O.A.T.S is legitimately the Greatest Of All Times Safari. If you have not booked with them, you will miss out on an authentic Safari experience!
Thank you all!!

Excellent time at Maasai Mara with Jack who tailored the experience to our interests wonderfully!
We loved our experience from beginning to end! From the interesting drive with beautiful landscapes to the incredible journey through the reserve to the warm welcome at our overnight camp at Mara Enkajiang. Jack was a terrific guide, providing safe travel and thoughtful ways of make the trip special for us. He was knowledgeable about the birds and animals and the places to look for them in the reserve. We truly had a marvelous time. He went above and beyond in guiding us on the weekend safari expedition! (We did feel that there was room to improve the communication from the tour company to our guide so that he was better informed regarding the finances and what had been paid for in advance.) Thank you again for a marvelous experience!

Discover Kenya's hidden gems (nature & community)
Was our first time in Kenya. Diana asked about the way we like to travel and created a personalised package. We trusted all recommendations and it turned out even better than we ever expected. We appreciated how Diana chose destinations that make the trip special. Either because they are hidden gems so that you are almost alone in the national parc and can spot the animals without standing in a tourist row, or because they are community driven (e.g. empowering women in a sustainable way). Diana was always very responsive and kind. Excellent communication. Together with her partner they have an excellent local network, which can be helpful in case of unforeseen circumstances. We did Meru, Samburu , Lewaso cottages +twala women community, hiking at mount Kenya, train to Mombasa +snorkeling at Diana beach. Traveled with teenage kids, they also loved it .

Our Kenyan family
For a family that has been to Africa on a few occasions, Epic, unbelievable, flexible, awesome, and adventurous are all words that fall well short of the experiences both us and our daughter had with James and Jemu Mwenda Expeditions.
Our itinerary was put together over about a six month period because we had planned on such a long holiday (56 days). Our itinerary changed on the ground as we took part in some incredible experiences, James and the team made these changes seem less and without trouble. The question is not who should we travel with in Africa, but when can we travel next! Can not recommend Jemu enough.
