Amazing
This was an unforgettable trip made special by our guide Charles who took great care of us. He was super professional, safe and was determined to get us to see the big 5- and we did. I wish the company had explained the need for a tourist ETA and other options for accommodations. You definitely need to ask lots of questions and they are very good about responding but perhaps things get lost in translation. Overall, an amazing experience!

Well organized and easy to book
The tour was very easy to book with organizer Mercy and we were very well to inform beforehand via email and whattsapp. Starting time of the safari was smoothly changed to our needs and a jeep picked us from our hotel when informed.
We had a very good tour in the wildlife park and we saw a lots of different animals on our touring at the wildlife park. Our guide Nathan was very professional and he guided us very well.
Also visits at the elephant orphanage and giraffe park were very interesting and nice final for our tour. We think everything went very good and our group was very satisfied with this tour.

I went on 3 safaris in Kenya - Ways of Africa was the best experience
Ways of africa felt the most prepared of any safari i went on. My guide spoke completely fluent English (not always the case in other safaris) and he made my experience INCREDIBLE. Would highly recommend Ways of Africa over any other tour company. They were very flexible to my needs and came with a well equipped, cooler van than the rest of the safaris I went on in Kenya.

The wildlife is spectacular
I did a safari across the Serengetti. The accommodations and food was first rate and I saw some amazing animals including 2 black Rhinos. This is a tour that everyone should take in their lifetime

A fascinating and friendly country with all you could want from a safari holiday.
We chose Tanzania because ‘everyone’ it seems goes to South Africa or Kenya yet there was reputed to be excellent chances of seeing the 'big five’ in this less visited country. I also consider where I go politically [where I spend my money] and whilst no government pleases everyone, Tanzania appears to be heading in a good direction. Our first visit to ‘Africa Proper’ did not disappoint in any way. We met so many friendly people - even those clearly relying on selling their goods to tourists were friendly whether or not we bought anything. Staff at lodges and resorts were wonderful. Food everywhere was excellent. For the reasons listed above we also wanted to book with a company based in the country so all our money goes there. Through Safari Bookings we found a tour by Safari Soles which was adjusted to suit our requirements - with a few days to visit Zanzibar. I could not praise Safari Soles more highly. Communication beforehand, nice mid-range accommodation a friendly guide with an encyclopaedic knowledge of all the fauna and flora and a proximity to most of the animals that was well beyond our expectations with perfect logistics throughout. We particularly enjoyed our ‘luxury’ picnic lunches with hot food, wine and proper plates etc. while many other groups were unpacking their cardboard packed lunches. And all for less money than half the time with a tour group based in the West - and ours was a ‘private’ tour. For ‘mid-range’ accommodation we were very happy; huge beds, plenty of space, nice en-suite facilities and a balcony in all the lodges and camps. More money spent on this would have been unnecessary since they were just overnight stays after long days. I’d advise if you have more money to spend - stay longer! I would also add that Tanzania is clearly a country of talent and enterprise. Souvenir items were more expensive than anticipated - although bargaining is the name of the game. But there is considerable artistry and with dollars to spend, one can purchase some beautiful things. We are recommending Tanzania to all our friends that express an interest in a safari and recommending Safari Soles as their tour company.

Review about Lake Manyara National Park by Paul Grimaldi
We passed through this park briefly and did an evening drive so can say far less about this park than others. The scenery was lovely and there was wildlife stretching into the distance. The evening drive was less eventful.

Review about Ngorongoro Crater by Paul Grimaldi
From the rim of the crater it is hard to understand just how vast this are is. One may spot a few dots that may be animals but it can look pretty empty. Then, once down into the crater one sees that it is teeming with life. Wildebeest and Zebras roaming everywhere, hyenas, warthogs, hippos and dozens of species of birds. A fabulous environment.

Review about Tarangire National Park by Paul Grimaldi
The scenery is very varied, undulating, dramatic, barren, verdant. Plenty of wildlife. The Maasai are fascinating and their herds of cattle, goats or donkeys become a familiar part of the landscape.

Excellent experience with Ligertravel, highly recommended
Our family booked a private 4 days tour to Maasai Mara with Ligertravel. From the beginning of consulting till the end of our safari, the communication was excellent. The response was quick and very helpful. They made everything so easy for us in Kenya. The tour guide and the driver James is awesome. He is so experienced that he will predict the where animals walk towards and we always get the best view of the animals. We saw so many groups of lions, two cheetahs and a leopard in one day. James is also a great driver. The tour is also very great value for money. Highly recommend.
