I had an amazing experience visiting the rock-hewn churches of Lalibela. Our guide was absolutely excellent – extremely knowledgeable about the history and traditions, and he shared everything with such passion that it truly brought the place to life. You can tell he genuinely loves what he does, and that made the tour even more special. I highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Lalibela!

A family safari of a lifetime with Zac nd Lambert from Serengeti Smile
We had the most incredible 7-day safari with Serengeti Smile this September as a family of three: my husband, my son, and I. Our journey took us through Tarangire, Lake Manyara, the vast Serengeti, and the breathtaking Ngorongoro Crater. Every single day was filled with unforgettable moments, from spotting herds of elephants and lions on the hunt to admiring the stunning landscapes that make Tanzania so unique.
From the very beginning, everything was organized with care and professionalism. My husband truly made the right decision in choosing Serengeti Smile. We were fortunate to have Lambert as our safari coordinator his clear communication, guidance, and constant availability gave us complete confidence before and during the trip. On the ground, our safari guide Zac exceeded all expectations. He was knowledgeable, attentive, and passionate about wildlife, which made our game drives both exciting and educational.
This combination of outstanding coordination and guiding made our safari seamless and deeply memorable. I can’t recommend Serengeti Smile highly enough especially if you get the chance to book with Lambert and have Zac as your guide. They turned our dream safari into a reality we will treasure forever.

Incredible Safari Experience
The organization of Safari Soles was good, the itinerary was perfectly planned and every single detail was taken care of. But what truly made this experience unforgettable was our incredible guide, Floridi.
Floridi was not only extremely knowledgeable about wildlife, nature, and local culture, but also genuinely passionate about sharing it all with us.
His sharp eyes constantly spotted animals we would have otherwise missed, from the Big Five to the smallest, most fascinating creatures.
Beyond his skills as a guide, Floridi was always attentive to our comfort and safety, making sure we had everything we needed and truly enjoying the journey alongside us. His warmth, patience and incredible sense of humor made every day an absolute joy! By the end of the safari, it felt like we were saying goodbye to a dear friend rather than just a guide.
If you are considering a safari in Tanzania, look no further than Safari Soles and if you are lucky enough to have Floridi as your guide, you are guaranteed a once-in-a-lifetime experience. I will be forever grateful for the memories we created.
Thank you, Safari Soles and especially thank you, Floridi, for giving us the adventure of a lifetime!

Wonderful. Perfect guiding and personal attention to all details at a very good price
We came to Ethiopia in the last week of August but new it was the rainy season.
The rain was intermittent and no trouble
I brought large galoshes for the occasional mud.
Etheo was fantastic.
Apart from a small deposit we paid on arrival and had wonderful personal service on a private tour.
In addition to a private guide who traveled with us local guides were provided included in the price and at one stage there were four people assisting my wife and myself.
They made certain that everything was to our liking and walked alongside us and explained everything and modified scheduling happily. I actually had three pairs of trousers that were a little long and my wife had two pair of safari pants that were a little baggy and these five pair were tailored while we waited in Addis for less than $1 per pair and much better tailoring than back in the States.
The tailor returned all my change and I explained that it was a happily provided tip.
The food and accommodation in Addis were outstanding.
In the country towns the air conditioning and bathrooms were perfect and the beds were comfortable, but it was a little tricky some days to get food that excited us.
We were driven everywhere in four-wheel drive Land cruisers.
In short we had wonderful TLC and excellent value and a fantastic time.
We were there at the end of August because we had been to Namibia and to Kruger national Park and although we were concerned about the rain it turned out to be only a very minor inconvenience.
These guys know their stuff and provide great value and wonderful TLC.
The five Stare Capitol hotel in Addis was outstanding and we loved our stay there.
Keep everything zipped including your cell phone at mercato markets. The folk show was exceptional and we wished we could attend again because the singers and dancers were superb. The whole trip exceeded our expectations.
The exhibition about the three million year old woman Lucy was Smithsonian standards.

They are very profesional
Otaruni is a great company in terms of quality and price. Their guides are very nice and friendly, making your trip a wonderful experience. You can tell they have experience in what they do. My family and I enjoyed ourselves and were lucky enough to see many wild animals thanks to our guide, who always made us feel very safe! His goal was for us to enjoy the trip at all times. We will back again for sure!!
Thanks Otaruni

The best tour operator out there
Trust me you need Moloko as your tour guide. She has such a great instinct of knowing where the animals might be for a good sighting. Ask for her as your guide for the safari.

Very knowledge, funny, and considerate.
Mary made it so easy to book my safari and Godfrey was such a great time being our safari guide! We had so much fun. Our hotel stays during the safari were so cute. It was my first time doing a safari/going to Africa. I would definitely recommend them to everybody!!

I really liked
The experience was fantastic, including the Samburu and Masai Mara parks, with a stop at Nakuru Park. Everything was well organized, and our guide, Sadam, was incredibly attentive, organized, and respectful. He was always dedicated to providing the best possible animal sightings in all the parks we visited, as well as providing information about their names and relevant characteristics.
The included accommodation, Umoja Samburu Camp, was very pleasant and had very friendly staff. The Buraha Zenoni hotel was also very pleasant and had very friendly service. Lenchada Camp was the worst of the accommodations; the outdoor space is pleasant, but the tent bathrooms really need improvement.
He was the best I have ever had.
Am a solo female traveler , wanted a short holiday to Rwanda specifically in Kigali , my friend recommended me Gorilla specialist.
They helped me arrange my flights and accomodation.
They also helped me get a local guide in Kigali who helped me in city tour and made me comfortable in Rwanda since I was new there.
I highly recommend them.

Excellent attention to detail
I can't recommend the safari with Kojuu Safaris more highly. I truly do not hesitate. I must highlight the personalized service from the very beginning: from the moment you request information and want to organize the route and conditions, you are assisted by a person via email and WhatsApp who listens and answers all your questions and requests. During the trip, any need (return schedule changes, driver to the airport, etc.) is also immediately resolved by phone or WhatsApp. In our case, that person was Losim, and he was charming, super attentive, and professional. Also, and this is very important, we had a problem with the currency exchange during payment, and the company resolved it without any problems. They also offer a ton of extra details to tailor the experience to your tastes: they ask what drinks or snacks you prefer, or what type of meals (which are always hot and prepared, not sandwiches), they organize birthday surprises, and offer Wi-Fi in the car, T-shirts, safari hats, and binoculars. We also highlighted how professional and knowledgeable our driver, Patrick, was, unique in spotting animals and explaining everything extremely well, and how pleasant Mafie was with us. The mid-range accommodations were beautiful and luxurious, and were strategically located to optimize travel.
