Feisel is the best!
We absolutely loved the two days safari. It’s the perfect amount of time, and our guide, Feisel helped us see everything we wanted to see. He was very knowledgeable and diligent in making sure we saw everything we needed to. I would highly recommend him for any size group.
The booking process was very easy, and Mercy provided all of the necessary details to ensure we were booked and paid.

Punctuality and service exceeded expectations; spectacular sights made the safari unforgettable.
My safari experience with this tour operator was exceptional. From the start, their punctuality ensured a smooth journey. The experienced service in all areas—from catering to accommodation and transport—greatly exceeded my expectations.
The value for money was excellent, enhancing the overall experience. The spectacular sights during the safari, especially witnessing life and death in the Serengeti, were unforgettable.
The viewpoints showcasing the vastness of Africa were breathtaking and left a lasting impression. Overall, the tour guidance was outstanding, contributing significantly to an unforgettable adventure.

Amazing experience with reliable and attentive personell
The safari was amazing! We booked an offer for a 4-day safari (6 days including arrival and departure in Arusha) by Oasis Wildlife Tours, which was pooled with other operators due to lower demand in the off-season. Pick-up and drop-off from and to the airport worked perfectly. Our driver was very kind and also flexible regarding the arrival and departure times of our flights.
After the arrival day with a city tour, our four-day safari started. Our driver Alli from Simbaland Magic Tours did an amazing job. He knew exactly where to look for the different animals, where to stop to get great pictures, and how to handle the rough terrain without ever getting lost on the endless small paths. Thanks to him, we not only saw all of the Big Five animals but also giraffes, zebras, gnus, ostriches, baboons, different antelopes, flamingos, eagles, all of the “Ugly Five,” and many more. Many of them could be seen from a very close distance, but our driver allways respected their space to not disturb them.
The accommodations during the trip were always appropriate. During the four safari days, three meals per day were provided by our chef Joseph, who was traveling with us from camp to camp and cooking for our group. The food was very good, and he always tried to teach us a few words in Swahili. He also allways provided a vegetarian option for us.
Everything was taken care of, the experience was great, we got far more than we expected, and we would definitely recommend it.

Incredible Safari of my Life with Gemfinders and top Guide Lawrence
Our Safari Journey started with a smooth planning with Tracy, she was easy to reach out and Kind enough to listen and respond to every information we needed for the Safari.
Upon arrival our top Guide Lawrence Picked us from the Airport to a Hotel in City Center, early morning Pickup to maasai mara. In the First day we already saw 4 of the big 5 and a Leopard hunt. Our Guide was Minimum as excited and motivated as us. He even agreed to skip Lunch and instead we never stopped our Game Drive Till late evening, which Made our Safari start even more unforgettable.
We couldnt have a better start and this continued to the end.
He also knew secret Tips and which Ranger to hire (e.g. masai Village, Hells Gate, Lake navaisha Hippo feeding experience) He teached us so much about the animals, the country and culture.
I highly recommend everyone to book with Gemfinders and ask for Lawrence as a Guide - even though He saya His coworkers are great Guys too.

An Unforgettable Adventure – The Safari of Our Dreams Thanks to Vincent!
Our journey through Tanzania was nothing short of magical, and we owe a huge part of that to our incredible guide, Vincent. Anyone planning a safari knows that the guide makes or breaks the experience—and with Vincent, we truly hit the jackpot.
Why Vincent is the perfect guide:
Eagle Eyes & Expert Knowledge: Vincent has an uncanny instinct for nature. While we were still admiring the landscape, he would spot a leopard perfectly camouflaged in a tree or lion cubs hidden in the tall grass. His knowledge of the wildlife and ecosystems (Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, and Tarangire) is truly impressive.
Patience & Passion: He never rushed us. If we wanted to spend 20 minutes watching elephants at a waterhole, he gave us the time and shared fascinating details about their social behavior.
Driving Skills & Safety: The tracks in Tanzania can be challenging, but Vincent navigated every terrain with total confidence and skill. His jeep was always well-maintained, clean, and comfortable.
Personality: Beyond being a professional, Vincent is a kind-hearted person with a great sense of humor. We shared many laughs, and he made us feel like honored guests and friends rather than just tourists.
Highlights of our trip:
The organization was seamless. From the breathtaking sunsets in the Serengeti to the unbelievable wildlife density in the Ngorongoro Crater, every day brought a new highlight. Thanks to Vincent’s timing and intuition, we were often at the right place at the right time, away from the big crowds.
Verdict:
Tanzania has stolen our hearts. If you are planning a safari, make sure to ask for Vincent! He is the difference between a "good trip" and a "once-in-a-lifetime experience."

They handhold in the scary landscape of hotels and "executive" spaces
I like comfort so much so I will carry half my house for a one night stay.
Thus, finding a Co that understands we all have different needs and tolerance ehem comfort levels has been a Godsend.
Reliability: They have a roster of hotels that they've verified. Because we all know photography sometimes facelifts
Comms: They keep you updated for sure. I like that they check in with you in a non suffocating way. It's the small things.
They just get you: They figure out what you like and will honestly let you know if a location is not for you.
Open to exploration: Have a new space you saw online, they'll check it out for you, do some investigation/sleuthing and then refer to point above.
When in doubt or in panic crying because the self booking is a crime scene, Lordstown will be your hero; no capes

Safari Soles gave us an unforgettable safari experience in Tanzania
We went on a calf season safari for a week in mid-January 2026, just the two of us. We had a blast. The Safari Soles team were amazing from booking to end.
They tailor-made the trip to suit our schedule and preferences. Our booking contact was Oken Alick, who was extremely reactive and serviceable.
The accommodations were confortable and perfectly organized.
And our driver, Dixon, was amazing: not only is he pleasant and fun, but he was extremely efficient at finding the best sights for seeing animals, often at close sight and alone. We saw countless animals and stunning scenes.
I highly recommend Safari Soles and would definitely do another safari with them in the future.
