Had a great time, my guide was professional, friendly and knowledgable
Had a great time, my guide was professional, friendly and knowledgable. He was also very fun to talk to. The lodge I stayed at was very nice. There were zebras grazing in the lawn. My guide had high quality binoculars on the trip for me to use, and whenever needed, he would find a way to be as close to the animals as possible. He communicated well about tour timings, and kept everything on schedule. Would recommend booking with Iyana, and if you get Samson as your driver-guide, you should know you're in good hands!

This tour was incredible! The guide was exceptionally kind and made everyone feel welcome.
Our decision to spend five days on safari with Lobo Africa was truly the best one we could have made, especially with Immanuel as our guide. The entire trip was seamless and perfectly organized. We felt safe, captivated, and completely at ease throughout.
Immanuel was constantly attentive to our needs. Calm, kind, and respectful, he made every moment enjoyable for the whole group. Traveling with him was a real pleasure. His deep love for nature and his impressive knowledge of Tanzanian wildlife made the experience even more enriching for all of us. We particularly appreciated how he treated the animals with care and respect, making visiting their natural habitats a responsible and ethical experience.
Each day brought new and unforgettable adventures. He had an incredible knack for spotting animals and ensuring we didn't miss anything special. The accommodations and meals throughout the trip were of excellent quality and added to the overall comfort of our safari. We are truly grateful for this exceptional experience and highly recommend your services. Thank you for making our trip so memorable.

Very knowledgeable and pleasant to be around
I had a great experience with Dav Safaris. They did an excellent job planning my accommodations, made it possible to enjoy a wide range of activities while staying within my budget, and took very good care of me throughout the trip. I also really appreciate Isaac for being such a knowledgeable and supportive guide. Highly recommended!

Couldn’t be better, they are so damn good.
Our six-day safari was truly unforgettable. From the very start, communicating with Johnson was great—both the price and his response speed were excellent. Our guide Festo was professional, patient, punctual, and extremely capable at solving problems. He knew every animal species and answered all our questions, helping us spot the Big Five. He kept saying we were lucky, and we really felt that way.
Every day, Johnson checked in on us and cared a lot. I could feel their sincerity and attention to detail. The accommodation in Serengeti was perfect for Chinese travelers—if we hadn’t been in a hurry, I would have loved to stay longer. One night at Ntudu, zebras were grazing right near the camp; it was such a unique experience.
In short, choosing Summer Winter Adventure Africa will definitely give you an unforgettable safari journey!

An Unforgettable Northern Circuit Honeymoon
Our 6-Day Northern Circuit Honeymoon Safari (Nov 29 – Dec 4, 2025) with Safari Soles was the most extraordinary travel experience we’ve ever had.
From the planning stages, Oken ensured everything was seamless. He thoughtfully tailored our itinerary to align with our interests, honeymoon expectations, and pacing preferences. Communication was clear, logistics were effortless, and we felt confident and supported before we ever stepped foot in Tanzania.
Safari Monster Simon, our safari guide, elevated the experience even further. With formal training in tourism and African ecology, he didn’t simply locate wildlife - he interpreted entire ecosystems. He explained watershed systems, fire ecology, predator-prey behavior, medicinal plants, and conservation policy with depth and clarity.
As someone who works professionally in sustainability and conservation, I can confidently say this was the most impressive eco-tourism experience I’ve encountered. Simon’s tracking ability was extraordinary, spotting subtle movement at full speed and positioning us perfectly for unforgettable sightings.
As a newer birder, I logged over 100 new species thanks to his expertise. His passion also extended to photography - he brought professional camera equipment and generously shared breathtaking wildlife images with us at no additional cost. Many of those photos will be framed to hang in our home.
The vehicle was modern and comfortable, and each lodge offered exceptional hospitality, stunning views, and outstanding food. Our final day with Enock (also a rockstar of a guide!) for the Kilimanjaro hike, waterfall visit, coffee tour, and hot springs provided a wonderful cultural and scenic conclusion to the trip.
Safari Soles created an experience that felt personal, immersive, and flawlessly executed from start to finish. We are already planning our return and would recommend them to anyone we know for an absolutely amazing experience anywhere in Tanzania.

perfect and enjoyed,saw many animals especially big five
We had a wonderful trip throughout. We saw a great number of animals and managed to spot all of Africa’s Big Five. Our guide was very knowledgeable and gave us lots of interesting information about the wildlife.
We visited Tarangire National Park, Ndutu in Ngorongoro, Serengeti, and many other places. We thoroughly enjoyed every moment. The owner was also very responsive and helpful at all times. Highly recommended!

The perfect trip
We had a perfect 8 days in Kenya, seeing leopards on all three of our trips in the Masai Mara. Our guide, Jackson, was professional and passionate; he always seemed to find the animals. He also possessed a remarkable sense of discipline that most guides lack. He tried his best to adhere to park rules and his professional training (in fact, many people drive right up to the animals). He also proactively shared everything he saw, each explanation sounding like a lecture. I hope everyone will cherish this pristine land and that humans and animals can coexist harmoniously! I will definitely be back!

The trip of a lifetime
This was the trip of a lifetime. You hear that often about safari goers. I'm glad I took the time to thoroughly research the multitude of organizers. Lion King's strong reputation delivered. The team who helps with the planning is professional and responsive. I was able to customize and negotiate a trip with my daughter. We opted for 1 week of safari and 1 week in Zanzibar. In retrospect, I should've done 9 days safari and 5 in Zanzibar, with the extra days going towards the Serengeti as our package only had only 1 full day there. All 4 parks are AMAZING. Serengeti is enormous so you sometimes have to travel a while before finding a good animal spotting. That being said the road is beautiful in its diversity of landscape. A safari experience demands patience. First it's far (especially from the US with 2 days back & forth), then you have the car rides between airport, lodges and parks (1-3 hours). The Land Rover you ride in is a beast made for the animal kingdom. It roars and bouces around the trails yet somehow remains comfortable. New bottles of water are set in front of you every morning. Extra seat padding will remove most of the the bumps. Even though the road brings about sand and dust, the Land Rover is cleaned at the end of each day. The lodges we opted for were middle of the range. They were all nice builldings with beautiful gardens. Rooms were mostly spacious and included basic necessities we are used to minus the bathroom water which couldn't be drank (drinkable water was always provided). Tanzanians are very hospitable and always ready to help to make your stay comfortable and restfull. The food was a very pleasant surprise. Swahili cooking is a little heavy but tasty with some Indian influence (chapati, Basmati rice). Dinner in the lodges had a multitude of choices with salads, meats, fish and desserts. The breakfasts carried a similar variety. You won't go hungry! Your lunches are also provided by the lodges but consumed at picnic sites in the parks. Your guide will set and serve the meal, which can include beer or wine if you arrange for it. This leads me to the #1 factor to a successful experience: your guide. Throughout our safari we interacted and observed many friendly guides who looked very competent. I can only really speak of Mecky. He held the knowledge and answered our silly and serious questions about his country and its culture. He was always ready to laugh but also attentive to our needs for downtime. He drove 7-8 hours a day with a smile. Most importantly, he delivered what we came for in mutliples. We were able to spot and observe a great number of animals. We never felt rushed, especially me as I like to take an inordinant amount of photos. We observed animals hunting, mating, eating, fighting, playing, sleeping and tending to offsprings. We got answers about specific behaviors, names of unusual birds, trees, and explanations about the geography (in French or English). We are so grateful for Mecky, he is a class act. Genuine and caring, a hard working erudite with a knack for finding what you came here to discover.
