Best Safari experience!
Our unforgettable safari adventure with Safari Soles was truly the experience of a lifetime! Our coordinator, Rachel, did an exceptional job organizing our 10-day trip to Tanzania, working closely with us to ensure everything was meticulously planned and exceeded our expectations.
The accommodations and meals were beyond what we anticipated! As a picky eater, I was pleasantly surprised to find that I enjoyed everything we tried. Each camp and hotel was incredible, and the staff were always warm and welcoming. Falling asleep to the sounds of wildlife, including the calls of hyenas, was an experience like no other.
Upon our early arrival at Mount Kilimanjaro Airport, we kicked off our journey with a fantastic city tour with our driver Erick that included the Cultural Heritage Centre Museum, local markets, Maasai Markets, and a delicious meal at a local restaurant—an ideal introduction to our trip.
The highlight was our seven-day safari, expertly guided by Chediel (also known as Cheddy). His extensive knowledge of the wildlife and culture, along with giving us some Swahili lessons, made our adventure even more enriching. We laughed and shared inside jokes throughout our time together, making the experience even more memorable. Chediel’s keen ability to spot wildlife ensured we were always in the best positions for breathtaking views and incredible photos. He truly made our trip unforgettable, and I highly recommend him as your guide.
With Chediel, we were fortunate to witness the Big Five, the wildebeest migration and river crossing three times, ostriches during their mating ritual, and even lions and hyenas feasting! We also enjoyed a scenic walk in the Kilimanjaro foothills, a visit to a waterfall, and a refreshing swim in the Kikuletwa Hot Springs, all thanks to Chediel's fantastic recommendations.
We also had an unforgettable hot air balloon ride over the Serengeti at sunrise, which offered stunning views of the wildlife and landscape. Our visit to a Maasai village was equally rewarding, as we were warmly welcomed and learned about their traditions and culture. Overall, we cherished every moment of our trip and the friendship we built with Cheddy. I wholeheartedly recommend Safari Soles for your Tanzania adventure!

Professional，kindly，efficient in answering all questions
At the end of our 13 day trip to Uganda, we were still unsatisfied. We were searching for Shoebill, drifting in Jinja, Murchison Park, searching for chimpanzees in Kibale, and tracking silver backed gorillas in Buwendi. Ricky, who took us on the trip, was skilled in driving, good at communication, very considerate, and knew everything, which brought us a very good travel experience. Beautiful Uganda Travel Agency gives us the feeling of being a very responsible and professional travel agency. The company's Manager Cheng is efficient in answering all questions before departure and during the trip, and the itinerary is arranged reasonably and comfortably. Manager Cheng knows everything about Uganda tourism, and this trip to Uganda was very pleasant and smooth! If a friend goes to Uganda, I would highly recommend Beautiful Uganda Travel Agency and also recommend Ricky who will accompany us for 13 days

Unforgettable Adventure with Kipe Adventure！highly recommend!
I have just concluded an amazing journey with Kipe Adventure, and I must say, it was more than just a trip; it was a soul-enriching experience. I would particularly like to highlight our driver and guide, Erick, whose service was nothing short of exceptional! From the moment we met, Erick's warm smile and professional demeanor captured our hearts. He not only had a profound knowledge of the local history and culture but also adjusted our itinerary seamlessly to cater to our interests and preferences, ensuring that every moment was filled with surprises and joy.
Erick's driving skills were equally impressive. Whether navigating through rugged mountain roads or alongside serene rivers, he drove with a steadiness that allowed us to enjoy the scenery without a hint of worry.
In conclusion, my experience with Kipe Adventure was truly exceptional, and I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone who loves adventure and appreciates quality service. I am confident that whenever the opportunity arises, I will choose Kipe Adventure again, and embark on new adventures with Erick by my side.

Alpine Chat was amazing
The lodge was fantastic. The guides were knowledgeable and very friendly. The weather was rough on our summit day and not many groups got to summit, but our guides made it happen for our team! 100% recommend Alpine Chat. Thanks to Ayubu, Jackson, Willy, and Joey

Africa celebrity is well experienced and professional
The driver Joseph drove steadily and safely. He was experienced in Safari and very professional. The timing and location of each hunting were very accurate. He did not rush us when we were watching the animals. He risked being fined twice and rushed into the grass to let us take close-up photos of lions eating and sleeping. The full-day Safari lasted 11 hours, and he did his homework completely, allowing us to collect the "Big Five" in our first trip to Africa. I recommend Africa celebrity and driver Joseph.

Best travel experience of my life
When I set about researching tour companies for our bucket list trip Kenya, I was overwhelmed. There are SO many tour companies and it takes a lot of time to contact each one, state your budget and preferences, and whittle down the many quotes.
This is a trip I've been wanting to do since a little girl and although I didn't have an endless budget, I wanted to make sure we didn't cut important corners.
As a Service Designer, I am very critical about all interactions from businesses and I tend to assess them with a work mindset. Straight off the bat, my communications with Dennis were pleasant and helpful, and I LOVED the digital itinerary they sent us. A little thing that was tangible and full of amazing photos, which certainly helped with our decision.
When we arrived at Nairobi, even after a flight delay, we were met with a smile by our driver and were taken safely to the city hotel for a night of relaxing before a big week ahead. No issues at all.
We were lucky to have the wonderful Rono as our guide for the week and he was INCREDIBLE. Firstly, the Land Cruiser was new and comfortable. Second, he drove very well and there was 100% trust in him, which is important when you see some of the driving on the roads in Kenya!
Throughout the entire trip (Amboseli, Lake Nakuru and Masai Mara, we were blown away again and again. I kept saying each day couldn't get better, but they just kept getting better. We spotted so many amazing animals, including 2 Leopard's and Morningstar arranged a vegan birthday cake for us at out Masai Lodge. THANK YOU!
They went above and beyond.
So, I know you all have big decisions to make, but please choose Morningstar. They accommodated our mid-range budget and were always answering questions, even after hours.
Thank you so much Morningstar!!

irresponsible, terrible at planning.
John Bow Tours ruined our wildlife safari. They assured us they knew where to find the animals, but when we arrived, they clearly had no idea where to go. We waited for hours to witness the wildebeest migration, but it never happened. Other tour groups saw it just miles away, but we were stuck in a dead zone because our guide hadn’t done the necessary research. It was incredibly frustrating, especially after hearing that other people had amazing experiences. The lack of preparation was glaringly obvious, and when we complained, they simply brushed us off.

Responsibility and experience agent
We planned our trip late, and the popular hotels were nearly fully booked. I contacted Marcos who was very helpful. He placed us on the waiting list and tracked our status, making our trip possible. Watching animals cross the river is challenging, but with Marcos’s experience, we had a great trip. I highly recommend this agent.

I will be sad if you don't choose Africa Celebrity
Thank you very much, Celebrity, for bringing us an unparalleled and unforgettable experience in Kenya. We consulted many companies and finally chose Celebrity because it offered the lowest price and was able to book all the hotels we requested (other companies said they couldn't). Moreover, they provided perfect service; Muli came to pick us up at the airport together with Joseph, and at the end of our trip, Muli specially came to see us again and took a photo with us as a farewell.
Here, I must especially recommend our guide, Joseph. He fully followed our suggestions, including when we wanted to set off and where we wanted to go. We saw all the animals we wanted to see, including wildebeest crossing the river and a cheetah hunting. Most importantly, we saw four leopards, which is unimaginable because leopards are very hard to spot. In Nakuru, a leopard walked right in front of our car, and we were all very excited. This is thanks to Guide Joseph's deep understanding of animal behavior, always positioning us in the best spots for photography.
The short trip has come to an end, but we have been deeply impressed by the warm people of Kenya and its beautiful wildlife. We are preparing to come back again!
