It was one of my best safari in Africa
We communicated with africa starpal when we arrival in Nairobi for business for a quick trip to masai mara. The staff replied to our emails very fast which was better for us because we had very short time to arrange the safari.We organized a 3 day Masai Mara safari .The cost was very cheap and affordable for a private safari,the van very clean and very friend drive.We saw the big five at mara.Still thinking of travelling to kenya with my family next year to witness the migration with them.Thank you to all staff starting with Paul who organize all the safari.

Excellent!
From the first contact to the last minute, it was a fantastic experience. Highly recommended. The driver (Solomon) is very experienced and skilled. As our driver for 5 days he was always very friendly, patient, a source of knowledge and professional. We always felt safe and in good hands. Sino Africa Safari gave us a super Safari experience. The value for money is just perfect. The communications from the beginning have been super fast and perfect. Thank you very much!

Unforgettable experience
We chose Serengeti Wakanda after searching a lot on internet. We were celebrating our honeymoon. It has been definitely an amazing experience!
We did a three days route at Kilimanjaro and 5 days private lodge safari with two days in Serengeti.
They came to pick us up at the airport and we spent the first night at a hotel in Arusha since we were arriving in the middle of the night.
We did Marangu route at Kilimanjaro till Horombo hut and it was incredible (4000m). We went with two guides, Godwin and Frank and they made our experience. They helped a lot when going up, supporting with the bag packs when needed, pushing us to drink water, giving us information about plants, animals, etc. Furthermore, There were three more guys, two porters and a cooker. Really, we ate amazing food up there, spending two nights. It is awesome how they can carry all that stuff.
Then we went 5 days to safari. Lodges were a dream, location, decoration, atmosphere… super! A mix of ‘hotel’ but also tented lodges with everything you can imagine.
Experience with the animals, the best of our life, no doubt. We had Elia as a guide and he has been the best. He knows a lot about animals, their behavior, the National parks. Where to go, when you need to wait till something happens… having a good guide it’s key for an experience like this. At the end you spend a lot of time together so it was super nice having him and being able to share opinions, cultural diferencies and really interesting conversations.
We spent one day in Tarangire, three days at Serengeti and one day Ngorongoro. Meals very well organized, tasty and plenty of options. We were traveling privately just my husband and myself, very comfortable in the car even with drinks and wifi!
We organized everything with Bartho directly through WhatsApp and then payment through bank transfer. We definitely recommend them if you are looking into agencies options. Really professional and experienced people.
Thanks a lot guys and hope to see you again in the future! Maybe for rainy season. xx

Excellent
The organisation and the safari were perfect.
Great value for money.
The cooker is excellent. We taste a mixed continental-African cuisine and we had more than enough to last a whole day on safari.
The driver is also very good. He locates animals at miles away.
Finally, Mohamed is very helpful and accommodating (taxi from et to the airport including and they can arrange sleeping freely if needed).
I highly recommend.

Amazing trip
We had a great 5 days trip with Thomas our guide. He really gave the extra mile to make this trip unforgettable. His 25 years experience makes the difference. He knows every inch of the national parks. I would really recommend the company. They are very flexible and helped us very well to reschedule the trip due to visa issues. Thanks a lot Paul and Thomas

Great safari experience for the cost with Aroni, a skilled, attentive and kind driver.
It was an amazing experience. During the booking, the tour company was clear in all aspects, particularly in what was and what was not included in the price. We found they offer options for all budgets, so we took the budget one. During the trip, we were welcome and guided all the time, with absolutely clear descriptions about what to expect. Aroni, the experienced guide/driver who took us during the trip, provided great info about the wild life during the safari. He also was informative and clear regarding prices in souvenir shops and bargains. He always offer a room of time for us to do the sightseeing, and took us continously across different spots in the Masai Mara. We were lucky to have Aroni as our guide. The accommodation was fair for the price, with clean and comfy enough spaces. Food and water were provided during the trip, as agreed from the very beginning. Totally recommended.

Knowledgeable and worth every penny
This was our second safari trip with Luxury Safari. We were in South Africa, the Winelands and Kenya in 2018, experiencing 3 safari camps and in Tanzania this trip, experiencing 3 camps, 4 nights each, with 4 nights in Zanzibar at the end. After 12 days of safari, Zanzibar could definitely be extended. Communication is key. Initially, when talking to Rose, she helped steer us away from some of the most advertised camps…simply because of what we told her we wanted to see and experience. I greatly appreciate an agent or company that treats our pocketbook like it was theirs and wants the client to have the best experience according to the clients budget. Our trips were perfectly organized and planned well. Tipping was an issue for us due to the amount of “new” entries into safari staffing. With staff, guide, butler, and personal tent attendant we felt we were expected to tip beyond what we budgeted. Also, as travelers we read each countries requirements for entry. This needs to be better communicated from Luxury Travel. The last camp we were in even said as much. For example, we thought we needed a Health form filled out for Zanzibar within 24 hours before arrival. Not true. The manager at Namiri Plains said it was frustrating that so many guests were not being told by their travel agents what the requirements were. Minor issues. That said, this type of trip is grueling AND the most rewarding trip we’ve ever had the pleasure of taking. We will absolutely book with Luxury Safari again!

Great Safari with experienced Driver/Guide
We had a great time with Safari Sole Tour. Easy booking process and friendly staff.
Our Driver/Guide Simon had a great knowledge of all animals, Maasai and Tanzania in general, we even learned some Swahili with him. Everything we asked him he had an answer and during our tour he explained a lot. Simon was also an experienced driver and he knew where to go to see really close the lioness, the cheetah, the leopard and many more.
Chef Dennis spoiled us with lots of food for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
It was an awesome and memorable trip thanks to the staff to Safari Sole. Make sure Simon will be your guide :-)
