When dreams come true!
It was incredible experience! We hiked to Kilimanjaro and had safari. Everything was organised very professionally, thanks to Siafu Safaris, Ene and team !

Fantastic experience from start to finish
I received this tour as a birthday gift and couldn't be happier with the entire experience. Our driver Solomon was excellent, he alone added a lot of extra value!
Our group was 7 people and we were picked up promptly on the first day in Nairobi, and driven a scenic route to Masai Mara including a pitstop to see the stunning views at Rift Valley. First evening was a 3 hour game drive at sunset followed by an early morning wake up call on day , for a 12 hour game drive experience. Our driver was amazing at spotting animals that 9/10 people would not see, and had interesting facts and stories of all wildlife with a great knowledge in regards to the history of the park. He fielded all of our many questions with ease !
All meals were included with price but lunch on day 2 was the highlight - a lovely picnic in the middle of the reserve which in itself was a once in a life time experience. Also unlimited bottled water was included which added to the value !
Final morning consisted of a sunrise hike with many different viewpoints of the entire park followed by a tour of Maasai village by locals, which was certainly eye opening. From here, we set off back to a Nairobi, a safari tour bus full of people sitting in mostly silence as we all contemplated and took in what an amazing experience the previous 3 days had been. 11/10 couldn't recommend doing this enough.
Only feedback I would have is timings and having more visibility of how long some things would take so you prepare yourself i.e. sunrise hike was sold as 1 hour and ended up being 2.5 hours and many of us didn't bring water !

Experienced World class in Watamu
My expectations for this trip were quite high. Happy to say that Smart Voyage exceeded all my expectations. My 6 day holiday was one of my best experiences yet. I stayed at the beautiful Hemingways Watamu. The service was wonderful! Really enjoyed the breathtaking beach views from my room as well as the restaurant. I should mention the food was on its own level. I had travelled with my 3 year old son and the babysitting services here came in very handy. I had time to play tennis at the resort's tennis court. The resort is only 30 Minutes form the Malindi Airport. This definitely made our trip less tiring. My overall experience was amazing. Definitely coming back !

Highly recommended for an amazing experience!
What an amazing experience! We are so so happy to have chosen Safari Soles for our 4 days/3 night experience in Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro, in a shared group,
I had a few friends who went for another safari agency for northern Tanzania in the past, but I decided to do a search on my own and out of contacting 6 different companies, my boyfriend and I choose Bryson because he seemed very professional, reliable and with a good price.
We were greeted by Bryson the day before the safari at our guesthouse and he made sure about any allergy we could have and also had a chat with us reassuring and replying to any question we had. We also met him after we came back, and he s always been pleasant to talk to.
Our guide and driver was Chadi: what a fantastic guy! Very chatty and knowledgeable of all the animals, he was always happy to reply to any of our questions, always smiling and helpful with any request. Our chef was Denis, who prepared delicious breakfast, lunch and dinner every day - so much food for us we could never finish it. After almost a month from our safari, my boyfriend still dreams of his food! We highly recommend both of them.
The safari itself has been a lifetime experience, no word can describe the beauty of what we saw and our feelings looking at all the wild animals we saw, the list is countless. We are also very happy to have chosen the safari with basic accommodation (1 night lodge, 2 nights tents) as the tents in the campsite provide a unique insight of the natural reserve and they are more than comfortable to have a decent night sleep.
Our biggest regret is that it was too short! Definitely we recommend at least a couple of nights more to have more time to explore.
In conclusion, we recommend Safari Sole to everybody and we hope one day to go back to Tanzania with them.

All was good arranged
The trip was excellent. The wildlife was intens beautiful and the people were ever so kind. Our tourguide took perfectly care of us. Everything was good arranged!
The one thing that was a bit stressful was that we didn’t know you needed a negative pcr test before traveling out of Oeganda. Luckily there was a testing place on the airport of Entebbe. Because we were on time (as the testresults take an hour), we had time enough to catch our plane. A better communication about this would have been perfect.

Professional and highly experienced local guides and team
For my family this is our second time with Duncan and John, I feel we have become great friends.
This year they provided another great service guiding us up to Point Lenana, including my three children.
Great value for money, we always felt safe and were receiving expert advice and knowledge.
Thank you.

Pathetic, Liars and very unprofessional
I did a safari with Bluerange connect in August 2022. We communicated through WhatsApp and paid 30% cost in advance. Once we reached Nairobi, we paid remaining amount a day before. We specifically booked 4x4 Land cruiser option and paid for the same. But on a day of safari they gave us van. The driver had no idea so we called tour manager, Lilian. She refused to change the vehicle. She insisted on meeting and she came two hours late to meet us on the day of the safari. Later she admitted it is her mistake but she won't change vehicle without additional payment. We argued but she said she quoted wrong price. It seemed she deliberately came late so that we give in and pay additional cost as we did not want to waste time. It was already late to start the safari. We kept calling her, texting her and beg her to come earlier. We had to pay $350 additional cost as we did not want to compromise on our experience and then she changed our vehicle. Again the Land cruiser given to us was in very bad condition. It was old, seats were broken and no cooler for water.
This did not stop there. They changed our accomodation without informing or discussing with us. We were promised a different lodge in Lake Naivasha but was given a downgrade. When we tried to talk to them about it, they just kept telling it is not downgrade where we can clearly use google and see it is a downgrade. They would directly inform the driver where to take us for the stay without dropping a single messege to us about the change.
This company is run by very unprofessional group of people who are liars and scammer. Do not book with them. They will ruin your once in a life experience of safari with their mismanagement.

Great experience with Afrishare
There was pleasant and informative communication before the trip. Once we arrived the pick up was arranged and we could start with our safari. The driver Atif we had knew a lot about the parks and the animals so we learned a lot. Besides that the parks are beautiful, we saw a lot of animals and the trip was great. Thank you!

Superb
My Safari in Kenya by Kameraz of Africa was more than i had expected, starting from the agent to the driver guide. Communication was top not and the services were amazing. I got to see and do 100%% of my bucket list and do all the activities included in my itinerary too. I would choose Kameraz of Africa again and again. Thank you and see you soon!

Rocky was incredibly knowledgeable, gregarious, and kind. He is also a great driver!
Truly the best safari you can get for Serengeti. We came from the US and organized the safari a couple weeks before we came. The staff were very responsive and helpful. They picked us up from the airport and gave us accommodation for before and after our safari which was great. Our safari guide, Rocky, was the best! He knew SO much about the wildlife, culture, and communities in and around the Serengeti. Our chef, Puis, was also great and cooked amazing food for us the whole safari. Don’t be afraid of the camping! The camp sites are clean and with beautiful views and wildlife all around. We were in a group of 6 travelers and we all had a great time together and with Rocky and Puis. The best safari that money can buy - I would highly recommend it to anyone who wants a true Serengeti and Tanzania experience.
