Michelle was friendly, knowledgeable and experienced
Michelle was very helpful as my group (7 people) considered and refined our options for our trip to Africa. She ultimately planned and arranged our trip that included a few days in Cape Town, a few days at Victoria Falls, Chobe National Park and ending with an amazing safari at Daka Plains, a private concession in Hwange National park. Michelle was very knowledgeable and provided great insight and advice as we planned our trip. Our trip included several tours that were insightful, fun and educational. All of the hotel and travel accommodations were great. Daka Plains was an amazing 4 day experience. We had a very knowledgeable and experienced guide who educated us on the wildlife, plant-life and the southern region of Africa as well. Every meal at Daka Plains was exceptional; the entire staff was professional and accommodating
Michelle's combined insight, knowledge, experience, communication and execution helped make our trip the best ever.

An unforgettable African adventure, beautifully planned from start to finish!
We had an absolutely unforgettable experience with Safari Soles! From the very beginning, the communication and planning were smooth, professional and reassuring. Ruth was extremely helpful in planning it all for us!! Our itinerary covering Maasai Mara, Lake Naivasha, Amboseli and Diani was well organized, giving us an amazing mix of wildlife, scenery and relaxation.
The safari itself was truly a dream come true. We had incredible wildlife sightings in Maasai Mara and Amboseli, including lions, elephants, giraffes, zebras, wildebeest, hyenas and so many beautiful birds. The game drives were exciting, well planned and gave us plenty of opportunities to simply enjoy being in the wild.
A special mention to our guide, Sammy, who was one of the highlights of the trip. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the wildlife and the ecosystem, patient, attentive and genuinely passionate about what he does. He had an amazing eye for spotting animals that we would have completely missed, and his knowledge helped us understand and appreciate every sighting even more. He also made the long game drives enjoyable with his friendly nature and willingness to answer all our questions. We felt safe and well taken care of throughout the journey, and we couldn’t have asked for a better person to experience our first Kenyan safari with.
We also really appreciated how reliable and responsive the Safari Soles team was throughout the trip. Everything felt well coordinated, while still leaving room to enjoy each experience at our own pace. The overall service and value for money were excellent.
This was our first African safari, and Safari Soles made it a truly special and memorable journey. We came back with wonderful memories, thousands of photographs, and a feeling that a part of us is still somewhere in the African savannah. Highly recommended to anyone dreaming of experiencing Kenya! ❤️🦁🌍

Unforgettable Journey
Our safari with Wildebeest Footsteps Adventures was an unforgettable experience from beginning to end. Everything was well organized, from the airport transfer and accommodation to the daily safari activities. The communication before and during the trip was clear, professional, and very helpful.
Our guide, Kisali, was knowledgeable, friendly, and always focused on making our experience special. He knew the parks very well and helped us spot incredible wildlife, including lions, elephants, giraffes, zebras, and many other animals. We also appreciated his patience and willingness to answer all our questions.
Erick, the owner, was very helpful in making sure everything went smoothly. We felt well taken care of throughout the entire safari. We highly recommend Wildebeest Footsteps Adventures to anyone looking for a reliable, professional, and memorable safari experience in Tanzania.

Amazing Safari with Anton
Our safari experience itself was fantastic, and a big part of that was our guide Anton. He was an excellent guide, always making a real effort to show us as much as possible. We were incredibly lucky with the wildlife sightings and saw almost everything we had hoped for — lions, leopards, cheetahs, rhinos, elephants, giraffes and much more. There will be at least as many wonderful memories as there are photos to remind us of them. Anton was very knowledgeable and always able to answer our questions about the animals, the Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Crater.
The organisation, however, could have been smoother. We often had to ask for our pick-up times, as they were not clearly communicated. Our airport transfer arrived 30 minutes late, and the driver was not even informed about our flight or which airport we needed to go to.
We had booked a 5-day safari, but on the first day we were placed in a vehicle with a guide and guests who had booked a 4-day safari. The guide had not been informed about our booking either. Once we clarified the situation, a new arrangement was made, but this meant changing both the group and the guide from day two onwards. Better communication within the company would have prevented this.
The accommodation was mixed. Suricata Boma Lodge and Tanzania Bush Camp Simba Camp in the Serengeti were excellent, with very friendly staff, great food and fantastic rooms/tents.
At SG Premium Resort, the Wi-Fi was not working on either the first or last day, which was particularly frustrating as we needed internet access to communicate with Suricata due to the organisational issues. Bougainvillea Lodge was also less ideal, as it was about an hour’s drive from the Ngorongoro Crater, whereas we had expected to stay closer to the crater based on the itinerary.
Overall, we had an unforgettable safari experience, especially thanks to Anton, the amazing wildlife sightings and the beautiful landscapes. While there were some organisational issues and differences in accommodation quality, the core safari experience was excellent. With a little more attention to communication and accommodation selection, the overall experience could be even better.

The best ever safari experience we could have!
It’s our first time to visit Africa, everything’s been taken care of so well by Whistling Travel. It’s lucky for us to have travel coordinator Yuanyuan and tour guides Ken, Nuruel Peter.
We love the camps and lodges, they’re safe and clean with good facilities and very beautiful views. We feel welcomed and supported by the camp staffs.
Our guides have very rich knowledge in animals and good eyes to spot the hidden ones. We saw Big 5 and other creatures, wildebeest crossing twice with crocodiles hunting asides.
This is definitely an unforgettable journey for us, I would not say bye-bye but see you again Africa!

John is a highly professional guide who always puts his guests’ needs first.
We are very glad that we chose Earthwings as our travel agency for this trip. From the very beginning, they communicated closely with us and responded to our messages very quickly. Whenever we had any questions or concerns, they were always willing to help and find solutions for us.
For example, when our luggage was delayed during our journey, they continued to follow up and even helped arrange for our luggage to be delivered from the airport to us after it finally arrived. We really appreciated their thoughtful and attentive service.
During our 9-day, 8-night safari, we would also like to express our sincere thanks to John for being our guide. He helped us see so many amazing and adorable animals and made the whole safari experience truly memorable.
While looking for animals, John always paid attention to keeping an appropriate distance and finding the best viewing and photography angles. He made sure that we could enjoy watching and photographing the animals without disturbing them.
Thanks to Earthwings and John, we have made so many wonderful memories during this trip. We truly appreciate their excellent service and would highly recommend them to anyone planning a safari in Kenya.
