Incredible
We had the most amazing experience on safari. Our tour guide Nuhu was incredible. He had so much knowledge about the animals and how they move around the park. His eye sight was unbelievable, he spotted the lions through paw print across a round and his instincts were always right. We had seen lions within 10mins of arriving!!!
I truly believe our trip was great because of Nuhu and his passion for the animals and enjoying being on the safari. Highly recommended!!

Thank you, Josef!
Dallas Africa Safaris delivered an outstanding experience from start to finish. The organization was seamless, the vehicle comfortable, and the overall service professional and friendly. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a well-run safari in Tanzania!
Josef was exceptional as both our guide and driver. His knowledge of the wildlife, parks, and local environment was impressive—he spotted animals we would have completely missed and shared fascinating insights that made every game drive more meaningful. He drove safely and skillfully on all types of terrain, kept us comfortable throughout, and was always attentive, patient, and good-humored. Josef’s professionalism and genuine passion turned a great safari into an unforgettable one. Thank you, Josef!

The best trip ever!!
Excellent travel experience. Beautiful places, incredible service, and Brian's handling of everything was top-notch.
I was very surprised by how easy it was to organize the safari, especially since I even had trouble making the payment from my country. Brian was always very helpful and willing to find a solution.
The entire itinerary was impeccable and followed exactly as we agreed from the beginning. I also felt safe and confident, even though I was traveling alone from Argentina.
It was an amazing trip, and I would definitely do it again.

AN UNFORGETTABLE SAFARI WITH SAFARI SOLES
An unforgettable Migration Safari with Safari Soles - that's what it was in a single line
We just returned from an August migration safari with Safari Soles across the Masai Mara and Serengeti, and it was hands-down one of the best trips of our lives. Every part of it from the guides, to the camps, to the sightings came together perfectly.
The guides were the heart of this trip. In the Masai Mara, Elias was outstanding, sharp instincts for tracking, deep knowledge of the ecosystem, and an ability to read the land that led us straight to incredible Big 5 sightings and a front-row seat to one of the best sunset in Masai Mara. In the Serengeti, Eliis carried 100X energy and expertise, and somehow managed to find us not one, not two, but three leopard sightings, something even seasoned safari-goers say is a rare feat given how elusive leopards usually are. He was also super driven and enthusiast giving us a front-row seat to a lioness hunting wildebeest and the great migration. Both guides were patient, personable, and clearly passionate about what they do, which made every game drive feel special.
The camps were excellent throughout. In the Masai Mara, we stayed at Enkakenya Camp, which was comfortable and beautifully located. In the Serengeti, we moved between Mbuni, Sero, Kiriche, and Angata Ngongotogoro camps where each one offered something a little different, but all were well-run, comfortable, and had attentive, friendly staff who made us feel completely taken care of after long days out in the bush.
Safari Soles handled every logistical detail, transfers between camps, timing around the migration, park permits flawlessly, letting us just focus on soaking it all in.
If you're planning a Masai Mara or Serengeti safari, especially during migration season, I can't recommend Safari Soles enough and oh! ask for Elias and Eliis if you can. This was a trip we'll never forget

Very organises, proactive and kind
The staff was very kind and always available to any question. I did not have any issue, the organization of the flight tickets, ground transportation and accomodation in the mara park was perfect. I really enjoyed my time there and will strongly recommend this company

Great week seeing amazing wildlife with resourceful tour guide
We saw more than we could have hoped for during our week, with a great number of lions, elephants, giraffes, wildebeests, zebras, and a few cheetahs and rhinos. We were able to see lions mating and some crocodiles eating a wildebeest. The communication was very good before the safari and during, especially from Irene. The service was great, with Mussa cooking very good food and Yasin catering to our every need. Yasin did a great job of helping us see cool wildlife, navigate across the parks (Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Lake Manyara, Tarangire), and keeping us supplied with water.
The jeep did break down one night, leaving us sitting for about two hours before we were able to get back to camp. Yasin did his best to repair the vehicle early in the morning, but we did lose about two hours of a Serengeti game drive one day because of it. Overall, Unveiled was a great value for our money, a budget safari that had a few bumps in the road but was an incredible experience. Thank you to the wonderful team who made our experience in Tanzania unforgettable.

Mustafa was an exceptional safari guide throughout Tarangire, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro. Professional, knowledgeable, and always taking us to the best spots. His driving was incredibly smooth even on rough safari roads, and his knowledge of wildlife, animals, and Maasai culture made the experience even more special. Highly recommended!

A safari turned nightmare
We booked a "14-Day Kenya & Tanzania Budget and Midrange Group Cruiser Safari" for August 10–23, 2026.
From day one, we noticed that the 4x4 Land Cruiser was in poor condition—dirty and lacking proper suspension.
That very afternoon, the vehicle broke down, and the entire group had to be split up among other vehicles to continue to the Masai Mara. Naturally, we couldn't take our luggage with us; we didn't get it back until around 9:00 PM, when the vehicle finally arrived—supposedly repaired.
On the second day, during the game drive in the Masai Mara, the vehicle broke down again, and once more, we had to be distributed among other vehicles.
We had been asking for a different vehicle since day one, but apparently, that wasn't possible; however, the third day went smoothly.
On the fourth day, en route to Amboseli, the vehicle broke down yet again, and this time we made our dissatisfaction with the agency very clear! Aware of the many negative reports indicating that vehicles in Tanzania were even worse than those in Kenya, the agency offered us two options:
- An upgrade to a private vehicle for an additional fee of $3,200!
- A return to Nairobi and a $7,200 refund for the Tanzania portion of the trip.
Since we refused the paid upgrade, the only option they gave us was to return to Nairobi, with them "offering" us two nights at the After 40 Hotel—and a ruined vacation.
We met Lina Margaret at the hotel on August 16; she apologized and assured us we would receive a prompt refund. After a bogus bank transfer (the proof provided wasn't even stamped by the bank), a failed attempt via Pesapal—which cut ties with the agency due to insufficient funds in their account—and a request from me to use Wise, it is now September 4, 2026, and we are still waiting for a refund!
We had no choice but to file a police report and alert the TRA, who confirmed they are looking into the matter.
My wife posted a review on safaribookings.com; the agency responded with lies, claiming to safaribookings.com that we had never traveled with them... and the review was removed...
They keep giving us the runaround, claiming they are a small agency with limited resources but promising to refund us. I even proposed a payment schedule, but still nothing...
Upon closer inspection, they have nothing but 5/5 reviews on safaribookings.com and Google; this seems suspicious and leads me to believe the reviews were generated by AI.
I will update this review once we have been refunded.

Amazing experience
I had an amazing trip that did not disappoint,I especially loved the Maasai Mara trip which was new to me and a must-repeat. I would highly recommend Jamlan for the best trip experience.
