Patient, respectful and knowledgeable
The expedition was incredible. We were able to spot 4 out of the big 5. Tom was always on top of everything and allowed us to see the animals from privileged spots without it being too unconfortable for them. He had great knowledge about the different animals and explained a lot during the game drives.
It was my first time on a Safari and it was a great experience. Tom surprised us with a moment outside of the Jeep during sunset for some reflections and sharing. It was really special.

Unbelievable Experience
A truly incredible experience from start to finish. We had difficult flight times arriving late at night and leaving very early in the morning and our guide Suliat was always there to pick us up and drop us off (even with tricky Kigali traffic). We never felt unsafe the entire trip while crossing boarders and driving across the country to hit all the highlights thanks to Kajie and Suliat for taking care of all the logistics! So many unbelievable experiences being feet away from so many different animals while golden monkey, gorilla and chimp trekking. If you’re worried about the food, don’t be! Every lodge and every stop along the way picked by Kajie had delicious food (and often 3 courses!). Thanks so much to Kajie and Suliat for leaving us with such a memorable experience.

A great Safari Experience
We did 2 nights at Ol Pejeta from Nairobi that included drives on 3 separate days. Peter at Africa Flash Mc Tours & Travel was helpful in setting up the tour and answering our questions. Our driver, Felix, made the safari drives wonderful. He was very helpful in finding and identifying animals and was very good at getting us into the positions we wanted for photos or viewing. We loved our trip. We have had 3 separate companies take us on Safari drives in Kenya and Africa Flash Mc Tours & Travel with Felix driving the Land Cruiser was our best experience.

Our safari was perfectly planned and our guide made it memorable.
We just got back from an amazing 8-day safari. Irine helped me plan the trip and she was incredibly patient with all of my questions and changes to the itinerary. We stayed in mid-range tented camps and were very pleased with most of the accommodations. The newly renovated Ang'ata camp in Tarangire was especially nice but we were a tiny bit disappointed with the Ang'ata Ngorongoro camp; the tents are in need of a refresh but the staff were very kind and gracious. Our Landcruiser was very nice, new and well-equipped. Everything about the trip was very smooth from pick-up at the airport to drop-off.
The best part of the entire experience was our guide, Comfort. He was the best!!! We couldn't have asked for a more professional or more knowledgeable guide. It was evident that he is truly an expert in his field and his passion and enthusiasm were contagious. His ability to spot animals was unreal - we could be bumping along the road and he would spot something so far away and we never encountered a bird or animal that he didn't know. He taught us SO MUCH about Tanzania and about the animals we got to see. Thanks to him we ended up spotting 99 lions and of course we saw the Big Five as well as the Ugly Five. He was so friendly, kind and patient with us. He was an excellent driver and we always felt safe with him. I would strongly suggest that anyone booking with Safari Soles request him as their guide.
Huge thanks to everyone at Safari Soles that made our dream trip perfect!

Aloyce was Amazing in helping us have the most enjoyable adventure of a lifetime!!
Let’s see where to begin. This was a trip of a lifetime.And I am so glad I booked with Amshar. We had the pleasure with meeting to of your amazing drivers. The first one Obieday( I hope I’m spelling that right) met us at the airport to pick us up and take us to our hotel. And the next day he met us to take us on a tour of Arusha. He showed us all of wonders of Arusha and the history of the beautiful city. Then the next day our driver Aloyce met us to start our safari journey. We went to Tarangerie National park, where he told us all about the different species that was there and made sure to spot out all of the amazing animals that we could find. It was breathtaking. After a long day, he took us to our first stay at Njia Panda tented lodge where the locals made us feel so welcomed ( it was so comforting being so far from home). Such a beautiful place. The next day onto the Serengeti ( this is my husband #1 place of all time and the reason for this trip). Aloyce was Absolutely Amazing in making sure he could spot and find all of my husbands must see favorite animals. We saw cheetahs, lions, wildebeest, impalas, giseles , zebras, giraffes, elephants and much much more. It was Beautiful. We have saved for this trip for years and booked it a year in advance and it was everything we dreamed of and more. And that is only because of our driver who made it all possible to make sure we saw everything we could. The next day was our balloon adventure, Aloyce made sure we got in touch with them so we knew where to go in the morning for that. After that he met us for a continuation of our safari journey. We then traveled to the Ngorongoro crater where we found out that Rinos where up at the side of the road, a great find for us to get some really great pictures and rare I might add. Aloyce was amazing this whole trip and made it such a Wonderful experience for us first timers to really experience Africa and all its Amazing Beauty. Amshar, thank you so very much for helping me with the designing of the perfect trip for my husband, and for answering all of my questions ( for a first time international travelers). The places you picked for accommodations ( Arusha Summit Lodge, Njia Panda tented lodge, Tuckanoe tented lodge, Eileen’s trees inn) were all so beautiful, warm and welcoming. This entire experience was so Amazing because of all of you. I hope to come again and experience more of what Africa has to offer and I will definitely be in contact with you!!

A Seamless, Spectacular Safari That Surpassed Every Expectation
We are a group of seven ladies who recently completed a tour with Beacon Safari, travelling through the Great Mara, the Mara River, the Mara Triangle overlooking the Serengeti, and onward to Lake Naivasha for a boat and walking safari. From start to finish, this trip surpassed every expectation in every possible way.
Our guide, Alex, was exceptional throughout. He was consistently informative, polite, and attentive, ensuring every detail of our experience was thoughtfully managed. His deep knowledge of the region meant he always knew the best times and the best places to take us, giving us the flexibility to see all the wildlife we hoped for — lions, elephants, rhino, giraffe, zebra, hippo, buffalo, cheetah, and a beautiful variety of antelope, all up close. These unforgettable moments were possible because Alex understands the land and its rhythms with remarkable skill.
The truck was extremely comfortable, making long days in the bush enjoyable and relaxed. The accommodation arranged by Beacon Safari was equally impressive: Sopa Lodge Masai Mara and Sopa Lodge Lake Nakuru were excellent, offering comfort, great service, and stunning views that added so much to the overall experience.
Beacon Safari’s communication was outstanding from beginning to end. Every question was answered promptly, every request handled with care, and every detail organised flawlessly. The company’s attention to detail was evident in every part of the journey — from logistics, to timing, to ensuring we were always comfortable, safe, and well looked after.
Alex himself kept the truck spotlessly clean, took immense pride in his work, and brought warmth and humour to each day. His professionalism, kindness, and patience made us feel completely supported throughout the trip. It is rare to encounter someone who blends expertise and genuine care so seamlessly.
Beacon Safari delivered a safari that was not only memorable, but truly exceptional. The combination of superb guiding, comfortable transport, excellent lodges, flexible planning, and meticulous attention to detail created an experience we will treasure for a lifetime.
We cannot praise Beacon Safari — and especially Alex — highly enough.

Wonderful Experience
As a first time traveler in Africa, everything was perfect from email response, timely pick ups on safari and prompt replies on any question I asked while on safari. Thank you and I really enjoyed my six days safari.

Knowledgeable, courteous, flexible
An exceptionable experience that i will remember forever.. Our guide Stamford was friendly, informative, and added so much to the tour. He easily handled all the complexities including crossing country borders and made them no problem. Each day got better. Often overlooked are the wonderful drivers who can spot animals and pot holes at the same time get us to the first, and avoid the latter. Comfortable lodging, exceptional food and friendly co=participants. and of course Animals, animals animals. Well worth every penny.

4 day luxury safari with dream voyage safari
We booked a 4-day luxury flying safari with Dream Voyage Safaris, and everything was perfectly organized from start to finish. The airport transfers, game drives, and accommodation exceeded our expectations, making the entire experience seamless and enjoyable.
As a couple, we were exceptionally well looked after throughout the safari. Our guide, Simon, a knowledgeable local Maasai, was outstanding at tracking wildlife and sharing fascinating insights about the animals and the ecosystem.
Thanks to his expertise, we enjoyed incredible sightings, including numerous lions, leopards, and even the elusive black rhino—an unforgettable highlight of our trip.
We highly recommend Dream Voyage Safaris to anyone looking for a professional, well-organized, and truly memorable safari experience in Kenya.

Once-in-a-lifetime safari experience
I booked a 6-day safari with Get Together Adventures in Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorogoro. As a solo traveler I wasn’t sure what to expect - but I had the perfect companion and guide in Joseph. He struck a great balance between keeping us on track and being willing to explore a road less travelled. We saw the big 5, which isn’t easy - you need good luck, but you also need a guide who’s willing to spend 3 hours tracking down a report of a leopard down one of those less travelled roads. It also helped that he was fun to talk to, and a good source of info about the animals and people of the region. The itinerary was great, the accommodations were excellent, the Land Cruiser was sturdy and in good condition. There were snacks and WiFi :). What more can I say - taking this trip was the dream of a lifetime for me and I was so relieved and happy to find myself in good hands!
