Fantastic experience
Arranged a last minute safari with Bryson and safari soles and couldn't be happier with our choice. Everything was brilliant from fast communication from Bryson, excellent well maintained vehicle and our super chef. The camping experience was amazing and something I highly recommend. The only thing I would change would be having more time for an extra night in the Serengeti. I highly recommend Bryson and the safari soles team , you won't be disappointed!

Best trip ever!!
Many thanks to Alpha, regardless of organising the trip from Australia he had a taste of what we wished for, there are so many reasons why Tanzania is one of the most special places on earth. The landscapes are beautiful, the people are so welcoming, the food at the Lodges we stayed in Serengeti, Tarangire and Ngorongoro were top on the class ones never regretted to choose Karanga Adventure. Our guide was so incredible - so knowledgeable, entertaining, and passionate. They would explain an animal behavior, and boom! We saw exactly what they had talked about moments before.
I recommend Alphas choice for the African Safaris and we going to come next year 2020 for exploring further down of Southern Africa Parks.

Absolutely superb in all respects!
Tanzania Choice is the best agency to use for your safari. They arrange a personalized safari, based on your wishes and their experience. Leslie was our guide and he may be the best in the business! He was very personable, spoke perfect English, and had a vast knowledge of all the animals as well as the different locations. The Ngorogoro Crater is beyond belief as far as animals, but we also really enjoyed Tarangire, where we saw literally more than 100 elephants and all of the Big 5 in one of the most beautiful settings anywhere. The picnic spots in Tarangire are also especially gorgeous. Tanzania Choice also takes care of their guides, and doesn't put any restrictions on them regarding gas usage, etc., which other companies do. Brenda made all the arrangements and booked the best safari experience I could have asked for!

All in All a 5 star experience
Although there was some reschedules it was marvellous, especially since we saw nearly every animal of Kenya's wildlife. Especially the two drivers named Patrick were super friendly. The driver in Amboseli was not our favorite, maybe because of cultural differences. As a Masai he is treating women differently. We have to accept that. But with regard to tipping he was to demanding and unfriendly although it was in our view generous respectively reasonable. Our first lodge was not on the level like the other two, especially the room standard as well as food quality and offer. Maybe it could be changed, to excel the overall experience. Although we have to point out that the staff was very friendly and it was nearby the park. One time we had food poisoning. We suppose it was due to the buffet in the motel nearby Lake Naivasha. Since also the Scottish tourists we met during our reschedule has suffered similarly. But we are not sure. What I did not like was that I had to insist on our last tour in Amboseli, which you had not mentioned although it is in the tour outline. This and the rescheduling maybe costs one star out of 5 but since it turned out that all was fine at the end and it was overall a very awesome experience we give 5 stars.

Mt Kenya - conquering the climb, having fun and enjoying the landscape
The communication was ok, we had lots of emails in advance of our trip.
The first day there was some confusion about our accommodation, which was different to the emails, but this was sorted out quickly.
The tour itself was great and the team of cooks and Porter's led by assistant guide Jonathan were great. We were never hungry and our 15 yr old nephew had a blast. The team looked after us well and treated us like family.

Amazing experience with great guide
We went for a custom private trip. Starting from Durban, with day trip to Lesotho, then onward to St Lucia, up through Swaziland (now Eswatini) (staying at Mlilwane Game Reserve) to Kruger NP (staying at Crocodile Bridge and Lower Sabie Rest Camps). Ant was our guide and driver and was fantastic all the way. Everything was well organised and planned, including breakfast and evening Braais. The accommodation was perfect for what we wanted, a mixture of guest house, tented and traditional beehive-style, both en-suite and communual facilities. Ant also worked to get the best possible location for the tented accommodation, which paid dividend by having hyenas and rhinos just meters away. The tour was done at the pace we wanted. As both my wife and I are avid wildlife photographers, there was no problem with just sitting by a waterhole for as long as we wanted to, sitting back and watching leopards and lions rest for a few hours, or driving down random back roads through Kruger. The wildlife did not disappoint with sightings of all the big 5, most fairly close-up! It's clear that both Ant and the other guides at EST have enormous respect for the wildlife and landscape, they do look after you well, but they also look after their own country. With years of experience they understand how the animals may react, and put you in the best (and safest) possible position for both you and the animals. If something wasn't right, or the animal was agitated (usually by too many other tour groups crowding the animal), Ant made the decision to move on and leave it be. Could not have asked for a better guide or company to travel with. The only disappointment was that we couldn't stay for longer. Eagerly waiting to go back!

Fantastic Family Trip
We were very skeptical travelling to Kenya and then Kenya to Tanzania by road. We relied completely on Uhuru and made the full payment in advance. Frankly, they exceeded our expectation in terms of the hotels and jungle camp the booked, the long but not so exhaustive trips to sight animals, and lovely lunch boxes to supplement the outings. We did, 10days of continuous trips for 8 to 12hrs, but it was memorable. The team went out of their way to sight animals. Overall a brilliant tour and lively memories. I would highly recommend Uhuru for your holidays in Kenya and Tanzania

They have the best wildebeest safaris
This place is amazing!!! They have animals of all sorts that are allowed to wander freely through the park. Visitors drive through the park and have up-close encounters with all the animals. They have a great Wildebeest Safaris.

Experience and memories that will last a lifetime. Best company.
We are a couple who went on a 6 day safari with Zohar. We found Zohar on this site and was one of about 5 we had narrowed down to. After communicating with zohar, we were sure we wanted to go with this company. Zohar was great with communication from day one. It took us several weeks to finalize our plans and Zohar was caring and thoughtful in helping us finalize our plans. We asked lots of questions and they always answered them thoroughly. They helped us put together the absolute best itinerary and worked with our budget to make our dream come true. Communication with Zohar was excellent during the planning process and throughout the safari. The service on safari was amazing. We loved all of our accommodations on safari. They were all memorable and I don't know how anything with the accommodations could be improved. All comfortable and beautiful. Food was always top notch. The safari Land Cruiser was absolutely awesome!! We had a blast riding in that thing. Our guide, Solomon, was the best guide. We could not have had a better fit for us. He was so knowledgeable about the areas we visited, the animals, and he is an excellent driver in all conditions. We had 100% confidence in his driving abilities and it was clear that he was very experienced in the rough terrain. We felt safe with Solomon and we learned so much about the animals and the areas we visited. We shared a lot of laughs and will always remember him. We were celebrating our wedding anniversary with this amazing trip and Zohar went above and beyond to make us feel so special. They provided experiences that we will always remember. The lunches on safari were the best. Everyone on other safaris would be having a lunch box, but with Zohar, we had the best meals with a table setting and excellent food. Very memorable and this is one thing Zohar does to set themselves apart from other companies. Plenty of water provided in the LandCruiser's refrigerator. I drink a lot of water daily and we never ran low. We saw the big 5 on our trip. Of course this is never a guarantee and we weren't promised anything like that, but I just want to put out there that we did see all of the big 5. We were able to visit Tarangere, Ngorongoro, Lake Eyasi, and of course we went to the Serengeti. We covered a lot of ground on this trip. We were absolutely in the best hands. I would use Zohar again and again and I highly recommend them. Thank you Zohar.
