Straight forward and clear
Special shout-out to Moses, who helped me book the whole trip — fast responses and great value for money!
The only thing I would have hoped for was a clearer itinerary throughout the trip. Information about the following day, including the starting time and schedule, was often only announced the night before when we were being dropped off at the hotel, which honestly felt a little uncomfortable and uncertain.
Especially when it came to the safaris, things sometimes seemed to end quite randomly, which made me wonder whether the schedule was really the best setup — for example, entering the park after 9:30 a.m., leaving before dawn, or doing game drives during the hottest hours of the day when even the zebras seemed to be hiding!
That said, I would definitely recommend this trip to my friends. It was such a lovely experience, and we saw everything we could have dreamed of! A special thanks as well to our reliable guide, James, who always made sure we were okay and well taken care of throughout the trip.

An Unforgettable Safari Experience
Our trip was even better than we expected! We did a 10-day safari followed by 2 days exploring the city, and both the accommodations and itinerary were well planned and perfectly suited our needs. From our very first inquiry, Joachim was always quick to respond and provided detailed options for a customized itinerary, which was one of the main reasons we chose Safari Soles.
Our city guides, Benson, Joshua, and Andrew, were also great. They were very attentive and introduced us to many different aspects of local life and culture, which made our time in the city even more interesting.
Frank, our main guide for the 10-day safari, was amazing! He always tried his best to find the best wildlife viewing spots and shared lots of interesting facts along the way. He’s also very knowledgeable about car mechanics, which is such a great bonus to have on a safari. We even saw him kindly helping other safari vehicles when they needed a hand, which made us feel we were in very capable hands throughout the trip.
The only small thing that could be improved is that guides for some of the separate activities were sometimes assigned quite late, so we couldn’t always confirm the meeting time or details for the next day in advance. It would be great if these could be shared a little earlier.
Overall, we felt very well taken care of throughout the whole trip, and it really made us want to come back for another safari someday!

Perfectly organized safari with a great guide!!
English below!
Die Tour wurde von Leopard perfekt organisiert, insbesondere wurde auf unsere Wünsche eingegangen und diese sinnvoll durch Vorschläge ergänzt oder angepasst, etwa durch den Besuch eines Masai-Dorfes oder die Anpassung der route, um übermäßige Fahrzeiwn zu vermeiden. Wir besuchten Nyerere, Mikumi und Udzungwa. Dabei wurde auch auf Änderungswünsche eingegangen, sodass auch spontanen Interessen nachgegangen werden konnte, zum Beispiel eine Walking-Safari anstelle einer klassischen Driving-Safari an einem der 7 Tage. Unser Guide Sebastian war ebenfalls super. Wir konnten gute Gespräche führen, sehr gut über die Tierwelt lernen und auch kulturell in das Land eingeführt. Zudem waren die Fahrten angenehm und alle Safaris durchweg spektakulär und von großem Respekt der Natur gegenüber gekennzeichnet.
Das positive Bild erstreckt sich weiter auf alle Personen zu denen wir in den Unterkünften, Restaurants und weiteren Aktivitäten Kontakt hatten. Wir haben die Budget Variante gewählt und würden dies wieder tun, da dadurch das eintauchen in die lokalen Kulturen besonders gut möglich war. Alle Zimmer und Mahlzeiten waren dabei durchweg gut.
Alles in allem eine sehr schöne und empfehlenswerte Safari!
The tour was perfectly organized by Leopard. In particular, they catered closely to our wishes, thoughtfully complementing and adjusting them with great suggestions—such as visiting a Maasai village or tweaking the route to avoid excessive driving times. We visited Nyerere, Mikumi, and Udzungwa. They were also very flexible with changes, allowing us to pursue spontaneous interests, like opting for a walking safari instead of a classic game drive on one of the 7 days.
Our guide, Sebastian, was also fantastic. We had great conversations, learned a lot about the wildlife, and received a wonderful introduction to the local culture. In addition, the drives were pleasant, and all the safaris were consistently spectacular and marked by deep respect for nature.
This positive impression extended to everyone we encountered at the accommodations, restaurants, and during other activities. We chose the budget option and would gladly do so again, as it made immersing ourselves in the local culture especially easy. All the rooms and meals were consistently good.
All in all, a wonderful safari that we highly recommend!

Excellent Safari experience with Axis
Excellent safari experience with Axis Africa! We spotted the big 5. And had a wonderful time seeing other animals too. Our guide Saddam was excellent, he knew the exact locations to spot animals. He was patient and did not rush us. The planning and prep done by Tabitha was also too good. She was very responsive to all my queries. The stay options were also good. Especially Enkorok camp in Mara.

Amazing!!!! Had an amazing sense and understanding of animals, was ethical, best guide :)
Jumbe was our driver and he was AMAZING! one of the only ethical guides/drivers during the trip. At several points in masai mara, drivers were driving up too close to the animals or disturbing wildlife. I loved that Jumbe maintained distance and professional conduct at all times even if several cars were breaking rules.
He also has an amazing sense and understanding of animals. We spotted so much wildlife and he always knew how long to wait for us to see something interesting. For example we saw a family of lions sleeping under a tree and he stopped the car at a distance for several minutes, we even told him to leave cos we got bored and within the next two minutes of our conversation with him, the whole family got up to go eat a wildebeast that was hunted earlier in the day. Insane instinct!!!! We got to see the lions move by very close to us coincidently cos they were crossing the path, and then we got to see the whole family feeding on the hunt. Amazing experience. Same with the wilderbeasts and their crossing at the Mara river. He somehow just knew how the wilderbeasts would behave and move back closer to the area that we were in, and we had to wait for a couple of hours, but he was right and we saw some of them cross the river. He answered allllll our questions (and i had a lot) and it was overall a wonderful experience. Im gonna recommend him and Axis to everybody I know :)

10 days Uganda & Rwanda
After exploring Tanzania, we decided to visit Uganda mainly for the primate experience and the famous gorilla trekking. We were completely blown away -not only by the incredible gorillas, golden monkeys, and chimpanzees, but also by the extraordinary variety of landscapes and wildlife throughout our 10-day safari.
Our driver and guide, Rashid, was outstanding: thoughtful, patient and attentive every step of the way, whether navigating rough 4x4 tracks, dense mountainforests, or wide-open savannahs. He even handled our smooth border crossing into Rwanda for the final drop-off at Kigali airport for our flight home.
Every accommodation was clean and comfortable, and we especially loved the variety and quality of the food at lunch and dinner.
Highly recommended!

Our 6-Day Safari Was Incredible!
Our 6-day safari was an incredible experience from start to finish. Our driver, Aziz, was extremely knowledgeable, a very good driver, and always happy to cater to our individual requirements.
We had some truly incredible animal experiences and saw amazing scenery throughout the safari. Aziz’s knowledge and expertise made the experience even more special, and we felt well looked after every step of the way.
We would highly recommend this safari to anyone looking for an unforgettable wildlife adventure!

Amazing Safari Experience – Highly Recommended!
We had an absolutely amazing 5-day safari experience, and we could not be happier with our choice of safari company!
From the very beginning, our communication with Jackson was excellent. He was always quick to respond and helped us design a safari itinerary tailored exactly to our preferences and needs. Everything was organized perfectly, and the itinerary was followed exactly as planned. We particularly appreciated having both early morning and evening game drives, as well as the order in which we visited the national parks. The route was very well planned, allowing us to enjoy each park without feeling exhausted by long transfers between destinations.
And then there was our safari guide, Assad — simply the BEST! He was an excellent and very experienced guide. He had an incredible ability to spot animals, even when they were well hidden, and he shared so much interesting information with us throughout the journey about the parks, wildlife, plants, and the local environment. His knowledge and passion made every game drive even more fascinating.
During those five days, Assad became much more than just our guide — he became a member of our family. His company was always pleasant, and he contributed greatly to making our safari such a memorable experience.
The food was also very good, with plenty of variety throughout the safari. Many thanks to our cook Ben!
Finally, the price was tailored to our specific requirements, and the offer was the best value we found compared with other tour operators we contacted.
We highly recommend this safari company to anyone looking for a well-organized, personalized and unforgettable safari experience in Tanzania. A special thank you to Jackson and, above all, to our amazing guide Assad! 🦁🐘🦒

A wonderful Safari trip
During the planning stage, Veronica provided me with a detailed itinerary and was able to promptly respond to my questions and modify the itinerary according to my needs. This made me feel very reliable and more at ease when traveling alone to a foreign land.
After the start of the trip, I felt Veronica's reliability even more: she personally went to the airport to pick me up and asked about my itinerary every day. Although there were little issues during the trip, she actively communicated with me and provided a satisfactory solution.
Thanks to her and Veegeorges' arrangements, I had an unforgettable Safari experience in Kenya, and I am very grateful to them.
I highly recommend you to book their itinerary.👍
