Professional and Fun
Safari Soles provided us with seamless service from start to finish. They were the first operator to come back to us with an outline itinerary and cost (our initial plans were a little vague), followed by plenty of options as we honed in on our plans. Throughout the process, they were wonderfully responsive and professional (shout out to Faith, who was exceptional). This was a short trip, covering 4 days/3 nights at Lake Nakuru and Masai Mara. Our flight arrived at Nairobi airport early in the morning (6am) but there was never any concern about having to wait to be picked up. Our guide, Sammy, was there with a cheery smile and warm welcome to take us straight off on our trip. Similarly, on the return, we were taken directly to the airport for our onward flight at 9pm, but with a thoughtful stop to allow us to have a bite to eat at a shopping mall prior to airport drop-off.
Sammy was exceptional. Nothing was too much effort, going out of his way to give us the best experience. His enthusiasm for the natural world and conservation shone through. He was keen to discuss all aspects of life in Kenya and never tired of answering our questions.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Safari Soles. Exceptional.

Incredible experience with Samora Explorers
Our experience with Samir’s Explorers was absolutely amazing! Our guide, Emmanuel, was incredible — so kind, knowledgeable, and passionate about what he does. He went above and beyond to make sure we had the best possible safari experience and did everything he could to help us spot as many animals as possible.
We couldn’t have asked for a better guide or a better experience. If you’re planning a safari, we highly recommend Samora Explorers and especially Emmanuel! Thank you for making this such a special and unforgettable adventure!

Well organised full day
Observed loads of different wild animals. Excellent lunch, though rushed in order to collect more people for the also excellent afternoon boat safari.

Mulie was very friendly, knowledgeable of the history and culture of Ethiopia. Incredible host!
An Unforgettable Experience in Ethiopia with an Exceptional Tour Guide! 🇪🇹
Mulie was an absolutely exceptional tour guide who made our experience in Ethiopia truly unforgettable! His incredible knowledge of the country’s rich history, traditions, and culture gave us an entirely new perspective and a much deeper appreciation for this beautiful country.
What made Mulie so special was not only his extensive knowledge but also his passion for sharing Ethiopia’s history and culture through his own personal experiences and point of view. His storytelling, professionalism, and genuine love for his country made every moment of our journey educational, meaningful, and memorable.
From beginning to end, the entire experience was nothing short of incredible! I cannot recommend Mulie highly enough to anyone planning to visit the beautiful country of Ethiopia. If you want an authentic, informative, and unforgettable experience, Mulie is definitely the tour guide you want by your side!
Thank you, Mulie, for such an amazing experience and for helping us see Ethiopia through a whole new lens. I can’t wait to return to this beautiful country! 🇪🇹🤎🫡💪🏾
Five stars all the way! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Great
I was travelling with several colleagues who wanted to experience more of Kenya outside our professional commitments. We decided to book a tour with Kenya Tour Budget Safaris because we wanted a convenient and informative way to explore.
Albert our guide, made the experience particularly engaging. He explained the places we visited and answered our questions about local culture, geography, and everyday life.
The trip also gave us an opportunity to interact in a more relaxed setting. Away from meetings and deadlines, we discovered shared interests and enjoyed conversations that would rarely happen in the office.
We took plenty of photographs and appreciated the opportunity to see more of the country together.
The organization was another positive aspect of the experience. Everything was communicated clearly, which helped the day run smoothly.
It was a rewarding excursion that combined exploration with team bonding. We returned with good memories and a greater appreciation for the places we had discovered.

Beyond our expectations
We chose the "Taste of Kenya" trip, which was a bit of an expensive adventure, but worth every penny!
What we received was a safe car, amazing accommodations and an excellent guide.
We were aware of and informed about the places of our accommodation, but in real life, those places turned out to be spectacular! The level of hospitality and comfort in both places was spectacular.
Our guide Nesta deserves all the compliments. We felt safe, taken care of and well informed. He was an excellent driver and guide, very dedicated to his country and its wonderful environment.
What we appreciated was the pace that was tailored to us, his focus on „hunting” the animals on a game drive and his professionalism.
He gave us a lot of information and answered all of our questions, not only about safari and animals, but about Kenya as well. We were also given plenty of space to enjoy our time outside the game drives in private.
On behalf of the office, we had been in touch with Filipa, a very patient and well-mannered treasure who answered a lot of our questions months before the safari happened.
We will recommend Spirit of Kenya to everyone!
One tip: even though it is an extra cost, we highly recommend a private safari in a jeep. The experience seems to be so much more comfortable.

Very cooperative person Taheer and even my driver and guide Samuel was very nice
Taheer is very understanding and cooperative person. He is also very immaculate in his tour plans and well organised. No trouble at all. We wanted veg meals and he ensured that our accomodations provided with those.
He provided us with good driver and guide. I travelled with children and senior citizen and he was very cooperative and understanding throughout

The best safari company ever!
We had an absolutely amazing time on our customized 3 day safari with Safari soles. We were able to fully customize a 9 day trip with a safari and trip to Zanzibar. Our safari guide Simon was amazing, very kind, respectful and knowledgeable about the area and all the animals. He made the safari even better for us, was so helpful and overall just really great company! He went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and that we had everything we needed. We saw every animal we wanted to see, Simon made sure we got to see everything we wanted to and more! I highly recommended safari soles and specifically Simon as our safari guide! Our tour operator Gladness who booked our trip for us and answered all of our crazy questions was also amazing. She was available for any and all questions, and communicated so well to ensure we booked our dream trip. Such a great experience with safari soles!

Something that must be done once in a life
Excellent experience. We saw more animals in five days than I could have imagine. Our guide Luther was very nice, experienced and was willing to answer any question we had. Very recommended experience.
