Stanley’s knowledge and love for Kenya was evident!
Maasai Mara was truly breathtaking. Lions, giraffes, zebras, wildebeests, warthogs, etc! Our guide also took us to Lake Naivasha where we got to see hippos and an eagle snatch a fish! This was worth the investment. A true bucket list experience!

Our guide is extremely trustworthy, seasoned and always takes great care of us.
Before departure, the staff replied to our messages promptly and clearly, arranging our itinerary patiently without confusing jargon. During the trip, we ran into a minor dispute over dining arrangements at the hotel. Our guide handled the matter very professionally, and we could reach the team members at any time. They mediated and resolved the issue right away, greatly easing our travel worries.
We had a few unpleasant moments due to scheduling hiccups along the way, yet the staff took proactive steps to fix everything, which we fully appreciate. All in all, this was a wonderful and unforgettable African safari experience. I will absolutely bring my family to travel with them again in the future.

Amazing and perfectly organized
GoldenTrips did an amazing job!!! Everything was organized from arrival to departure and they build in our specific hotel wishes or requests. They even supported us as the airline lost our luggage and helped us recovering it. Thank you so much!!!
Our guide Edward was super knowledgeable and an allround talent! He could answer every question, made sure everything runs smoothly and really showed us the best of Serengeti and Tanzania. Thank you, Edward, for this experience!! We had a blast!

Friendly, down-to-earth tour operators who were always there for us and communicated very friendly.
Andrew was our driver, and we couldn’t have asked for a better one. He was a fun and friendly guy who really went the extra mile for us! He always looked after us and made sure we were comfortable and was always open to our requests!

John Mwangi was an incredible guide!
We had a wonderful private safari experience in both the Masai Mara Park and Lake Nakuru. We got to see all of the big 5 as well as many other animals around the parks. Our guide John Mwangi was very knowledgeable about the animals and was eager to help us get the best out of our short yet adventure filled experience in Kenya!

Exceptional from start to finish—tailor-made journeys that showcase the very best of Madagascar.
From the moment I first reached out almost a year ago to the day our tour finished, Soul of Madagascar made the entire experience seamless. The professionalism, responsiveness and attention to detail throughout the planning process gave us confidence from the very beginning. They took the time to understand what we wanted from the trip and worked with us to create an itinerary that perfectly suited our interests, rather than simply offering a standard package.
Madagascar is unlike anywhere else we've travelled. It isn't a destination for luxury or convenience, it's a place of extraordinary wildlife, dramatic landscapes and genuinely warm people. If you're looking for an authentic adventure, this is it.
A special thank you to our guide and driver, who were outstanding. They went above and beyond every single day, sharing their knowledge, adapting to our interests and, most importantly, making us feel completely safe throughout the journey.
Thank you to everyone at Soul of Madagascar for creating a trip we'll remember for the rest of our lives. The memories we've made, the places we've seen and the people we've met are something we'll never forget.

Professional, custom-made safari trip with amazing tour guides!
We have had the most amazing family trip we could have ever imagined—thanks to the whole team at Oloip Safaris, especially Edwin & Patrick (the best guides IN THE WORLD) and Lucy! We can fully recommend Oloip Safaris as your professional travel agency when you visit Kenya! You will go home with a lot of WOW-moments!
During the planning phase, our trip was custom-designed according to our wishes and schedule. From the moment we arrived, we felt safe and welcome. We are a family of four (two adult "kids" and their parents) and were guided by Edwin and Patrick for what became the most memorable journey. The two of them always knew the best locations to spot wildlife, while completely respecting the animals' privacy as we took our time watching them. They shared a wealth of knowledge about the animals as well as the different cultures of Kenya.
Our stops included the Masai Mara (Game Drive Safari), Lake Naivasha (Boat Safari), Amboseli National Park (Game Drive Safari), Hell's Gate National Park (Bike Safari), and Diani Beach (People Safari 😃).
One of our main highlights was cooking with the Kikuyu women. It was such a special moment; we were welcomed so warmly into their homes and shared so many laughs and stories.
Many greetings to Edwin, Patrick, Lucy and the whole team at Oloip Safaris

Fantastic safari
This was a very memorable trip. Our tour guide Rodgers was brilliant at ensuring that we saw an incredible range of wildlife up close in Masai Mara. During the trip we saw the big five and many others. Rodgers was very knowledgeable about the animals and the trip ran smoothly. The accommodation was good and clean with nice staff and great food, including a range of vegetarian options, which was much appreciated. Communication about optional extras could be clearer from the company before the trip as had to arrange own trip to Crescent Island since hadn’t been able to arrange in advance. Costs of bikes at Hells Gate also adds a cost to use them in park, but Hells Gate was very much worth the trip for beautiful scenery. Overall it was a fantastic trip and would recommend.

Exclusive and professional agency!
Excellent is not enough for Toilo and for Julius the owner. I found it stumbled on Google maps while I was looked for an agency in Arusha. Julius has been very kindly and professional as soon I got in touch with him. I would to spend 7 days on Kilimanjaro for hiking and then 4 days for Safari and he sent me a detailed itinerary, with all info I needed. For Kilimanjaro he reserved for us two excellent guides Frank and Angela who follow us for all the week, always smiling, awesome and very skilled!
About Safari we spent 4 days between Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro with a shared service: everything has been amazing from the guide to the lodges where we slept. Julius is always reachable, if you need some info or help he reply you immediately by WhatsApp taking care of you.
Thanks for everything Julius! If you need a good agency do not esitate to contact him, very satisfied!
