Highly recommend Safari Soles
Safari Soles were a pleasure to work with. They were responsive to emails and were able to tailor our six-day safari to our exact specifications. We then added an additional three days in Zanzibar.
Our safari guide, Reginald, was knowledgeable, friendly and a very safe driver. He really added to our experience, and we would highly recommend him. All of our other drivers and transfers were also reliable, with punctual hotel pick-ups and well-maintained vehicles.
Our safari included one day in Tarangire, one night in the Central Serengeti, two nights in the Northern Serengeti and one night in the Ngorongoro Crater. We were incredibly lucky to see the Big Five as well as witness the wildebeest crossing the Mara River — an unforgettable experience.
We stayed in permanent tented camps within the parks and felt completely safe throughout. One of the highlights was walking to dinner one evening and seeing zebras up close around the camp!
If you’re thinking of travelling to Tanzania, I would highly recommend reaching out to Safari Soles. We had an amazing trip from start to finish.

Best way to discover Madagascar and its people
I had an absolutely wonderful experience touring Madagascar for nearly 20 days. It is an incredible country, with breathtaking landscapes, unique wildlife, fascinating culture, and warm, welcoming people.
Some of the absolute highlights of the trip were Tsingy de Bemaraha, the Avenue of the Baobabs, Isalo National Park, and Ranomafana National Park. Each destination was completely different and offered something special, from the spectacular limestone formations of Tsingy to the iconic baobabs, the dramatic landscapes of Isalo, and the incredible biodiversity of Ranomafana.
A big thank you goes to I Travel 2 Madagascar & Lova, who organised the tour and made the whole experience smooth and enjoyable. I particularly appreciate their effort to invest in the future of tourism in Madagascar through their training of local guides and tourism education, including English-language training. It is great to see a company not only providing tours but also helping young Malagasy people develop professional skills and opportunities within the tourism industry.
I was accompanied by several guides during the trip — Rova, Fano, Mandresy, and Keidy. They are all junior guides, but they did a fantastic job. They were friendly, enthusiastic, helpful, and eager to share their knowledge and love for Madagascar. Their professionalism and positive attitude made a real difference throughout the journey.
I think the combination of incredible destinations, passionate local guides, and a company that is actively investing in the next generation of Malagasy tourism professionals made this a truly memorable trip.
Thank you to I Travel 2 Madagascar, Lova, Rova, Fano, Mandresy, and Keidy for an amazing experience. I would happily recommend them to anyone wanting to discover Madagascar!

Jackson is a great person—kind, helpful, and always ready to assist and resolve issues.
Definitely one of the best experiences of my life; Gorilla Explorers played a huge part in making everything go wonderfully. I would recommend them 100%.

Do not use this company
Our money, over $2500 US dollar cash was stolen inside the Safari jeep that we took for Masai Mara safari tour. My main contact for this safari tour is Peetah from Peak Season Africa Safaris company, who repeatedly asked us to bring cash to settle the balance. On the morning when the safaris tour was about to begin, our tour driver brought us to the parking lot of Peak Season company’s office. When Peetah and I met at the parking lot, I took out the cash from my bag pack when Peetah actually saw exactly where the cash came out from. When I step away from the Safari jeep with Peetah to the inside of the building, I found out that my old phone came out from my bag pack and realized that my bag pack was touched by someone while I was away, my money was stolen during that short period of time. When the stealing was actually happening, our tour driver and my wife was actually standing outside on the driver side of the jeep, and they didn’t notice the theft, except that our tour driver saw someone walking by on the passenger side of the jeep. We can’t afford to lose time to report to the police, and our tour driver suggested to write this on the Peak Season’s review. Bottom line is that our tour driver failed to protect our property from stealing, I wouldn’t recommend to use this company.

One sentence is not enough but lets start with perfect, knowledgeable and there for you.
From the very beginning in december or January I think, Simon was always there for me. I had a lot of questions and no matter the time he always answered them. Communication, which is very important to me was very easy and clear with Extra Miles.
The vehicle was amazing, the tour was amazing, the park was amazing, the accommodation was amazing, we had a time of our lives!
Then comes the tour guide- Ken. Superb person, we spent together 3 full days and he was very patient with us and made it clear of whats upcoming. He knew exacly what he was doing, and we felt safe with him behind the wheel.
I have nothing negative to say about the trip, I only wish I could experience it again for the first time.

AMAZING!!
We had an absolutely incredible 2-day safari in Mikumi National Park! From start to finish, the experience was seamless and deeply memorable.
A huge shoutout to Michael, who was an exceptional guide! His knowledge of the park, wildlife behavior, and keen eye for spotting animals made all the difference. We were able to see so much incredible wildlife in a short amount of time, and Kihindo made sure we were comfortable, engaged, and learning throughout the entire drive.
Our stay at Camp Lilac Mikumi was also really great. The hospitality was warm and welcoming, the rooms/tents were clean and comfortable, and the food was delicious after a long day in the bush. Sitting out in the quiet surroundings in the evening made for the perfect safari ambiance.
If you are looking to do a safari in Mikumi, I couldn't recommend Kihindo enough. Thank you for an amazing experience!

Wonderful Knowledge of Birds, as well as everything Animals!
I totally agree with all the other reviews in that going on Safari with Mussa is the only way to go. He and his staff are so incredibly hard-working and customer focused. They wanted to ensure that our trip to Tanzania was everything that we wanted. And they did it all with a great sense of humor which made the trip all he more fun!
We booked a 12-day tour with Mussa (Arusha National Park, Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Serengeti, Olduvai Gorge, and Ngorongoro Crater). Of course, we wanted to see all the usual animals which Mussa assumed. But, when he picked us up from the airport, we told him that we were also very interested in birds. So without any time to prepare, we headed out on our bird-watching adventure. And Mussa did not disappoint! Turns out that he was very well versed in spotting all the birds. In total, we spotted 157 species of birds, as well as 37 species of animals (non-birds)!
