Job is the GOAT (greatest of all time guide)
My wife and I visited Uganda and let us say that our experience was amazing.
Our guide Job, was the perfect guide. He is so friendly, kind, caring and very knowledgeable. His genuine nature and passion with his guiding approach and really made this experience unforgettable. He was always on time, and made extra efforts to ensure all our expectations were met. He went above and beyond what other guides would do. He made videos for us capturing the highlights of the day and even made sure that we were able to see the lions during a game drive by trusting his instincts and expertise. Job always brought the energy and made every day special for us.
If you book a safari in Uganda you need to request Job Francis as your guide!
Thank you Job!

Best Guide is Job!
We had the absolute pleasure of having Job as our tour guide for our 6-day gorilla trek and safari in Uganda, and we truly could not have asked for a better experience, especially as this trip was part of our honeymoon. From the very beginning, Job was personable, friendly, and incredibly attentive, and always going out of his way to make sure my husband and I were comfortable, happy, and fully immersed in the experience.
Job has an amazing ability to point out things you would otherwise miss. Whether it was wildlife, scenery, or cultural details. He made every drive and every stop engaging and meaningful. He was always checking in with us, adjusting plans when needed, and making sure each day felt special and stress-free. His planning was excellent: he was consistently on time, organized, and thoughtful about how each day unfolded, which allowed us to relax and truly enjoy ourselves.
What truly set Job apart was his deep connection with the local community. Because of his relationships and respect within the area, we were able to experience Uganda in a much more authentic and enriching way. It never felt like a standard tour, it felt personal, welcoming, and genuine. His knowledge, passion, and pride in his country shone through in everything he did.
Job didn’t just guide us through Uganda, he made our honeymoon unforgettable. We will always look back on this trip as something incredibly special, and a huge part of that is thanks to him. We would recommend Job to anyone looking for an exceptional, well-planned, and truly memorable safari or gorilla trekking experience.

Spectacular
Safari Soles was amazing yet they still exceeded our expectations.
My wife and I went on a 9 day private safari with Safari Soles and our guide Dickson for our honeymoon. After months of research and comparing different tour operators we decided on Safari Soles and are so happy we did.
They were extremely fast to respond and easy to communicate throughout the planning process. They provided amazing recommendations and were able to tailor our itinerary specifically for us. We especially liked the detailed daily plan and custom map showing our route (although they continued to make it very clear that we could make any changes we wanted during the trip).
Knowing this trip was going to be rather expensive, once it started we felt like we weren't paying enough. It was truly a once in a lifetime experience.
Our guide Dickson was so nice and flexible. He was a dictionary of knowledge and really understood how to create the best experience for us. Dickson was also a great off road driver and one of the best at getting you into positions where you are close to the animals while also feeling completely safe. 10/10 would recommend Dickson!
The Safari Soles jeeps were one of the nicest we saw on our entire trip. We chose the mid range accommodation option and Safari Soles let us upgrade a couple of the accommodation options while being very transparent about the cost differences. Food was delicious and the staff everywhere was incredibly nice.
The encounters we had with so many different animals was so spectacular. 9 days was a great length and would recommend a minimum of 7 days to truly get the best experience.
In all, Safari Soles as a tour company was spectacular and Dickson as a guide was amazing. Would recommend both to whoever is considering this amazing experience!

worth the money
Everything worked out as it was said in the description. Our Tourguide Tribon did a fantastic Job showing us all the animals even the Big Five. He drove carefully and could answer all our questions.

Big Five Safari
Very good 3-day Masai Mara safari with Tribon! We were lucky to see the Big Five.
Budget accommodation was perfectly fine for 2 nights. Comfy beds and hot water.
Thank you.

Great safari experience
We spent three fantastic days with Steve in the Masai Mara. The drive there took almost six hours. The tents at the lodge were basic but adequately equipped. The guide was very knowledgeable and led us through the Masai Mara all day long. He showed us a great variety of animals! We highly recommend this trip.

A trip beyond all expectations, with a program full of fantastic experiences from morning to evening
We had planned a tight schedule, but still with plenty of time and opportunity to rest. We started a few days in Dar, with day trips to the paradise island of Mbudya for sun and swimming. There they served freshly caught delicacies, among other things.
then we flew to Arusha, and drove to the edge of the Ngorongoro Crater where we stayed overnight via Lake Manyara National Park.
Then we drove to Serengeti for four nights and full days of safari, before finishing by visiting the mountain gorillas in Uganda.
Everything was carefully planned with good information, transport, tasty meals, drinks and we were met with knowledgeable and interested people throughout the trip. We are left with memories for life and thank Tanzaniaexplorer for a fantastic program and implementation of our trip!
We highly recommend Tanzaniaexplorer for their local knowledge and commitment.

Once-in-a-lifetime experience
We had an absolutely incredible safari experience with African Hagyko Safaris in Kenya, and a huge part of it was thanks to our amazing guide - Harrison 👏 From the very beginning, it was clear that he is a true professional who genuinely loves what he does. His English was excellent, which made communication easy and enjoyable, and he shared so much knowledge with us throughout the trip.
Harrison is also an extremely experienced and skilled driver — every journey was smooth, comfortable, and felt effortless. Even long drives passed quickly because he made them so engaging and pleasant.
Thanks to his expertise and sharp eye, we were able to see an incredible number of animals during our safari — far more than we ever expected. Harrison knew exactly where to go and when, and his deep understanding of animal behavior allowed us to witness truly special moments. He explained fascinating facts about the wildlife, their habits, and their interactions, which made the whole experience even more meaningful and immersive.
What we especially appreciated was that Harrison always gave us enough time to enjoy each sighting — to observe, take photos, and even watch hunting scenes without feeling rushed.
We are beyond satisfied with this safari and the level of service we received — it exceeded all our expectations. We will absolutely come back again and will recommend this company to all of our friends without hesitation. This was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience, delivered with exceptional professionalism and care 🔥
Amazing, nothing too much trouble.
Fantastic 3 day safari with our guide Michael. We saw so many animals and had a lovely stay at Eileen's tree tops lodges, the food was amazing and felt so welcome. Would definitely recommend this company, thankyou.
