They will provide you tour that suit you
Before I talk with Derrik who was in charge of my tirp, I thought I have to chose tour from what they provide. However after I told him what I am interested in and what I want to do, he made a itinerary for me. Therefore, I could use most of the time for what I want to do.
When I need some help during tour, I asked Derrik with what's app and he will reply me immediately and solve the problem. If you will do late check out, it is better to check with company and hotel. I did late check out twice but both hotels didn't know about it.
I went to Lake Naivasha, Maasai Mara, Lake Nakulu, Amboseli, Tsavo west and east, Mombasa. I saw 4/5 big fave in Maasai Mara. There was plenty of animal such as lion, leopard, cheetah, elephant, giraffe, zibra, buffalo and some kinds of antelope. It was hard to find leopard and cheetah but how my tour guide, Eddie communicate with other guides and drove to the place was amazing. He has a lot of knowledge of animal and his prediction about animal's next action was amazing. He drove to the place that we could see animal yet won't disturb other people. I enjoyed so much in Maasai Mara and if you are animal person, you should go to Maasai Mara. I did full two days game drive, but since it was too good, I wanted to do three days.
In Lake Nakulu, I saw a white rhyno and beautiful sunset. If you love an elephant, Amboseli is the best place. I even saw baby elephant and he was so cute. Lake Naivasha was more "be with nature trip" than see the animal. Tsavo is huge and because of season(grass was too high), I could't see cheetah but my tour guide told me we can find them in another season. For me to see the beautiful scenary is the most memorable thing in Tsavo. I saw some water places that looks like the water place from lion king that pumba is drinking water. Mombasa has beautiful beach. Staff in my hotel which is Reef hotel, were very nice and friendly. Even thouogh I spent my birthday there by myself, I had a great day and they were very warm people. Mombasa has very strong sun. I had a terrible sun burn even though I applied sun cream and was staying the shade. It is better to bring after sunburn cream or gel.
I was traveling by myself and I experienced private tour and group tour. In group tour, I made some friends and have a wonderful time with them. However, I had different interest with others. I couldn't say anything about that, so I had to wait a lot of time. In private tour, I could use my time in game drive whatever I want, but I felt lonely. I think both have a pros and cons and I'm so happy that I could experienced both side.
Overall, I had a great time in Kenya. They arraged my birthday surprises and city tour for my need( which is done hair braided, shopping and nail art) too. Thank you for everyone who was involved in my beautiful 17 days in Kenya. I know it is not cheap but it is totally worth it. My dream came true.

Best tour company in Arusha
This was our second safari booked through The Soul of Tanzania. I would rate this safari company one of the best in Arusha. Thanks to Jose who was our tour coordinator and very helpful with accommodation and routes.
Also a huge thank you for organising Wilson to be our guide again. It was such a pleasure to be with him and all the considerable knowledge he brought to our safari tour. It was just like being with an old friend.
On our last trip during the dry season in July, our main objective was to see the Great Migration in the northern Serengeti. Which was fantastic, we were lucky enough to see 5 Leopards in Tarangire NP and a close encounter with a Rhino in the Ngorongoro Crater.
This February we hoped to see the Migration calving in the Ndutu Area, South Serengeti. Unfortunately nature has its own way and we were greeted with thousands of baby Wildebeest, a sight I will never forget.
Wilson, who I think must have X-ray eyes spotted many animals including the rare Serval and a family Bat Eared Foxes. He also spotted 4 Rhinos in the Ngorongoro Crater.
If you are thinking of going on a safari I would definitely recommend Soul of Tanzania who will tailor any safari that you might want to consider. Also ask for Wilson with his experience and extensive knowledge on wildlife, birds and fauna.
A big thank you for making our holiday so special.

This is my second time I booked with Travel with Deo Safaris. This time for the northern parks; Tarangire, Ngorongoro and a 1day-trip-Kilimanjaro. It was absolutely amazing. Everything was very well taken care of. The nature was so beautiful. I even saw a black rhino! 🦏 Seriously recommended!

He provided us with a very pleasant trip with his professional knowledge and experience as well as h
Our honeymoon in Tanzania this past October was an unforgettable journey of a lifetime. Ernest, with his profound expertise, guided us through magical encounters with rare black rhinos, lionesses nurturing their adorable cubs, and leopard mothers caring for their young - each moment revealing nature's perfect harmony. His insightful explanations transformed every question into fascinating wildlife lessons, deepening our understanding of East Africa's ecosystem. Staying amidst the vast Serengeti plains and the volcanic caldera's majesty connected us with Earth's primal energy, memories that still resonate with inner peace. This extraordinary safari experience proved how a professional yet warm-hearted guide like Ernest becomes both mentor and friend. We already long for our next rendezvous with Africa's wonders.

Reliable and Responsive Tour Operator with Great Value for Money
Eta Adventure Safaris provided a well-organized and memorable safari experience. Their communication was prompt and efficient—when there was a minor error in the documents required for my Kenya visa and when the airport pickup didn’t arrive, they quickly responded and resolved the issues.
Considering the incredible experiences we had on safari, the cost-performance was excellent. Even when we encountered a traffic accident and vehicle breakdown on the way to and from Maasai Mara, the team handled the situation swiftly, ensuring that we could proceed with our planned game drives without major delays.
If I had to point out one area for improvement, the game drive in Amboseli felt shorter compared to Maasai Mara and Lake Nakuru. This might have been influenced by the fact that we had a different guide in Amboseli.
Overall, I highly recommend Eta Adventure Safaris for their professionalism, reliability, and the amazing safari experience they offer.

Adventure of a Lifetime
It is important to me that I mention the great Job Apodiformes did of answeing our questions on time. This made it easy to get all of the answers I needed to organize or private Safari. Our trip was 13 days in Maasai Mara Kenya, Serengeti in Tanzania, the Ngorongoro Crater, and some smaller packs. We say all the big five, but Cheetahs hunting, lions hunting, and close up.
I want mention our driver Kevin in Kenya, what a great time we had with him. In Tanzania we were with the Spirt of Tanzania group and our fantastic guide Vincent. Without there expertise and knowledge made our trip unforgettable.
Thanks to silas and his Team.
