A wonderful and well organised journey
We chose SOTM to plan our 3-week trip because the correspondence with Theresia was very professional and helpful. She incorporated our ideas into a super-organised tour, including all entrance fees, guides, domestic flights etc.. It was particularly important for us that she always responded very quickly and we had the feeling that we had a reliable local partner. The fact that we had to bring the outstanding balance (a few thousand euros) in cash, which was then collected by a member of staff at the hotel, was a little strange at first. But this is the normal procedure, as there always seem to be problems at the Bank of Madagascar with transfers of this amount. We had 3 very enjoyable and exciting weeks with the incredibly skilful driver André, who was able to fix some problems with the car on his own. One thing in advance: the road conditions in Madagascar ALWAYS cause damage to the car, even with our off-road jeep. Eric, our guide, spoke very good English and told us a lot about Madagascar's culture and history. He and the other guides in the parks are also well trained in the flora and fauna, so you can learn a lot of new things on this trip (even as a biologist). Thanks to the vast experience of our 2 guides, the tour was very well organised, as they knew exactly when to set off in the morning in order to reach the next destination before nightfall. The selected hotels were mostly of a standard that you would accept in Central Europe without complaint (see photos). There were only 2 areas that were very remote and where there was only one hotel, you just have to take that - running water is not always available in one of the poorest countries in the world.
However, the meals were safe in ALL the hotels and we had no health problems. All in all, we were pleasantly surprised by the level of organisation (which is often not so good in Europe either) and can therefore recommend SOMT without reservation. It was a wonderful experience.

It was a very authentic Kenya safari and an exceptional celebration of our wedding anniversary
We had some doubts about planning our safari, but Nashibe Adventures made it incredibly smooth. We opted for a 7-day safari covering Kenya's Maasai Mara, Lake Nakuru, and Amboseli National Parks. The planning process was seamless, with the team promptly answering all our questions and customizing the itinerary to match our preferences. They celebrated our wedding anniversary with surprises that made our journey even more memorable. Our guide was exceptional. His knowledge of the terrain, wildlife behavior, and cultural insights added depth to every moment. A visit to a Maasai village allowed us to learn about their traditions, way of life, and unique beadwork. Their commitment to excellence, passion for wildlife and culture, and ability to personalize every detail make them an outstanding choice. We left with unforgettable memories, stunning photographs, and a deeper appreciation for nature and conservation.

Do not trust.
My girlfriend and I booked a 4-day-tour up Mount Kenia from the 27th until the 30th of December 2024. We made it to the top and safely back home again. So all in all the tour was a success. Unfortunately, I have to agree with most other reviewers here. I will spare you all the details of the multitude of times we were misinformed, ignored and lied to before and during this trip. Do not book any tour with this company. They are plenty of other companies that will make sure you enjoy your trip way more.

Possibly the best guide to Masai Mara
We have now returned home after an extremely good safari. Even though we only had two game drives, one evening and one whole day, I think we managed to experience Masai Mara the best way. Our driver G-man (Geeman) knew his way around and was well connected. The first knight we saw all of the normal animals, plus seven lions, cheetah and water buffalos. The next day he provided with about 22 more lions, elephants, hippos and crocodiles. We had some nice stops for toilet breaks and lunch.
We drived a really cool beige Toyota Landcruiser with a removable top. Perfect for the drive from Nairobi and also on the wild savanna.
We stayed at Sopa Lodges which was much better than we expected. It was way nicer than on the pictures, and the food and staff was exceptional.
Jockey tours always answered our questions asap, and they were really helpful and reliable.
The best of reviews from me and my family.
