Amazing adventure and people!
After searching through the numerous companies that host safaris in Tanzania we chose Safari Soles and we couldn’t have made a better choice for our adventure! Irine who planned our trip was amazing from the first message we exchanged, she was kind and available at every time, also during our week of stay, she gave us a lot of suggestions and always tried to meet with our needs and requests. We did a 8 day trip through Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro: the lodges and tented camp were beyond our expectations and we visited the parks in the best sequence. We also want to thank our guide God Listen who showed us everything we could imagine and more, he drove for at least 8 hours per day and did everything he could to show us not only animals (we saw the big five and much more) but also the cities and beautiful landscapes. The organization is perfect, with game drive starting at around 6-8 am and finishing at 4-5 pm allowing us to see everything we could. Shout out to the amazing lunches which we think have made the difference throughout our stay, when booking your trips we advise you to ask for freshly prepared food (rice, chicken, vegetables and sauces) when possible instead of lunch boxes because we had two lunches like that (which were perfectly fine) because of time schedule but eating something fresh and typical really makes a difference. Thank you again for the amazing adventure, if you are planning to come to Tanzania please choose Safari Soles and God Listen because they are the best!
See you soon, Camilla and Rebecca from Italy.

A tour operator who was attentive, highly professional, and showed us the very best of Kenya.
Naitu is a considerate and attentive professional who arranged the best safari lodges for us, with the best safari ride. Next time, I will organize my entire trip with her, as she offers highly competitive rates for a five-star experience. I felt perfectly safe traveling with her and her driver, and I was accompanied by my three children.

Go for it!
**Let me say this first- whether you go budget or luxury you see the same animals**
Wonderful safari for the 4 day/3 night “budget tented camp”. The camp was more than what I expected. Clean, canvas tents with an attached bathroom and warm shower.
On game drives, my driver (Jose) was wonderful. Pleasant, knowledgeable, and incredible guide/tracker. We were able to see 4/5 big 5 in Maasai Mara and then saw the last of the big 5 (the rhino) at Lake Nakuru.
Also to note, the vehicle (the Land Cruiser) was very comfortable and outfitted well for photography. With a full vehicle (7 people) it did not feel crowded. The roof pops open and windows slide open for wildlife spotting. Every morning we showed up to the vehicle cleaned and washed.
All in all, I would HIGHLY recommend this safari and Axis Safaris. As a solo traveler I felt their communication was great and I felt safe the entire time.

Uwanda an excellent tour operator
We had a wonderful safari with Mr Martin and his driver. Mr Martin is a very competent safari guide who knew a lot about the animals and he was very good in giving us all the information in a good, interresting and understandeble way. We learnt a lot about the animals and their way of living. Futhermoore he is a very nice fellow who is good in making nice friendships. So we alså laughed a lot and had a good time.

A truly incredible experience with an amazing guide!
Our guide Ben was incredible! Very knowledgeable and professional. He educated us on not only the animals, but also the overall landscape and surrounding tribe culture. We saw the big 5 and some extra hard to spot animals! Luck had to play a role in it, but my husband and I truly believe that having a great guide who knows the area expertly is what made all our sightings possible. There were several occasions where fellow tourists commented on how lucky we were to see everything we did which we believe a lot of it is thanks to Ben at Topy Tours. The pricing for the safari was fair, communication leading up to the trip with Jackson was great, accommodations were luxurious and food was delicious! We cannot recommend Quagga Topy Safaris and Tours enough!!

Great tour operator, understood retirement and responded fast. Great driver and guide.
The safari covered Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Amboseli. Our driver Zackary was excellent and really knowledgeable. The safari jeep was very comfortable and we were very well looked after for the 6 days.
Pre booking the communication was great with the company and the safari really good value for money.
It was a trip and memory of a lifetime.
Thank you Explorers Wild Adventures for making it possible!

Really open and attentive guy who knows a lot and wants to make the experience the best
Really amazing experience, starting with the booking, always attentive and resolving all the doubts, it's clear how organized they are. Once we started, our guide Melita was incredible, knowing all the spots to see the different animals, he was in contact with the rangers by radio so also communicating always where to go.
Also our big chef Salim, he prepared really incredible food so we always had been nourished too so well.
Until the end another staff of suricata (Daniel) he came in to the hotel to see us and ask how was everything and to see if there's something to improve or change.
It was an amazing Safari and suricata made it much better, being so attentive and searching the best to all the group

An unforgettable safari experience with Spirit of Kenya
Our trip with Spirit of Kenya was absolutely unforgettable. From the very beginning, the experience was smooth, professional, and full of care. Communication with Filipa was exceptional; she was always available, kind, and patient, making sure that every detail of our journey was adapted to our needs and preferences. She went above and beyond to make our trip perfect.
When the situation in Tanzania suddenly changed due to the elections and the protests that followed, we had to cancel that part of our itinerary for safety reasons. It could have been a very stressful situation, but Filipa handled everything with incredible professionalism and efficiency. In record time, she reorganized the whole trip and created a new itinerary that ended up being simply amazing. Her ability to adapt and find great solutions at the last minute turned what could have been a problem into one of the best travel experiences we’ve ever had.
Our guide and driver, Sego, was equally outstanding. From the first day, he made us feel completely comfortable and safe. He knows the national parks inside and out, every corner and every track, and has an impressive knowledge of the wildlife — not only identifying every species we saw but also sharing fascinating insights about their behavior and environment. His enthusiasm, friendliness, and sense of humor made every day enjoyable.
The car was always spotless, extremely comfortable, and perfectly prepared for every safari day. Sego was very attentive to every detail, making sure we had the best view of the animals and always anticipating what we might need. He made the experience fun, relaxed, and deeply informative.
Everything exceeded our expectations. The organization, the attention to detail, and the human quality of the team were outstanding. What could have been a complicated situation became an incredible journey that we will never forget, thanks to Filipa, Sego, and the entire Spirit of Kenya team.
If you are thinking about doing a safari, do not hesitate for a second — choose Spirit of Kenya. Their professionalism, kindness, and passion for what they do make the experience simply spectacular.
