Birthday Safari
Our nine day safari with Moriti surpassed all of our expectations. We were entertained and taken care of from the time we were picked up at the airport until we were safely returned. Our guide, William, was knowledgeable and attentive. We loved South Africa, and we will definitely be back. Choosing a safari company out of the hundreds available online was a daunting task, but Shaun and his crew were certainly the right choice for us. I cannot recommend the private safari experience enough, and Moriti created a vacation for us that we will cherish for the rest of our lives. Thanks to Shaun, William and Lindsey for going the extra mile.

Awesome Adventure trip!!!
We booked a 7 days customized safari vacation including the following National Parks: Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro Crater, Ndutu region and central Serengeti. We chose to go with Worldwide safaris and Earnest because he gave us a very fair deal and price and was very responsive. He delivered all what he promised and more. All the hotels were amazing and he took good care of us. He came personally with us and was our guide for the entire trip. He is very knowledgeable about the animals and related facts.A specific thanks to you for showing us a part of the Great Wildebeest migration.You are the best Ernest and you made our trip very memorable. We will come back again and certainly recommend your company to our friends!!!

An immersive, incredible experience
The crew- Andrew and his team are so hardworking and professional, and yet know how to have fun. A wonderful combination!
The horses- you'll fall in love with them. Each horse was well-matched to his/her rider and by the end of the trip strong bonds were formed. I didn't want to get off Polka in the end.
And lastly.. the landscape! You'll go through beautiful places that few have ever seen and see stars like never before.
This trip has been on my bucket-list for years, and it's easy to see why so many guests have returned over and over.

Amazing experience
We know how important a safari operator is to your overall safari experiences and that's why we send our inquiries to over one hundred safari operators when we were planning our trip. Soul of Tanzania showed their extraordinariness from the beginning. The sales manager helped us to design our trip and she gave us a lot helpful suggestions.
When we arrived Arusha, they greeted us in the Hotel and introduced us to our guide Ben. They gave us a very detail brief about what we can expect during our trip. Even we are only a group of two, they gave us a brand new full sized safari vehicle. Our guide Ben was amazing, he ran everything smoothly and was exceptionally knowledgeable with almost all wildlife. He was quite passionate about safari and helped us to meet our targets (all big fives, rhinos and etc.) very efficiently. In addition, he found us a perfect place in the wild to enjoy the african sunset, we felt like we were in the movie "out of africa"!
Food is another highlight, while everyone else was eating a lunch box, we enjoyed our hot food , wine and coffee very much and received a lot of jealousies!
Overall, this is an amazing company and you won't be disappointed if you choose them.

Tour to Lake Nakuru Park and Masai Mara
I booked two tours with Pega. The first one was to the Lake Nakuru National Park wich was a good experience due to the very nice guide John. The other one was to the Masai Mara. For that one Peter the Boss of Pega Tours gave me wrong information on the accommodation (stayed in a different camp than he said) and lied to me about the "Great Migration". I asked several times if it had really started early this year and he insisted it had. Before going to the Mara I heard from other sources that this was not the case. After arriving there the driver and guide confirmed that the Migration would probably start a month later. Very dishonest.
The home stay Pega offers in Nakuru is basic but offers tasty food and there are usually other interesting guests around.
The Safari Vehicle is fit for the good roads inside the Lake Nakuru Park but very unsafe for long distance travel.

The best Safari company
Our safari with Shemeji was fantastic! Our guide Ely was the best. I don't know how he did it, but we were always on the spot where the animals were. He also managed to get our car in the best position, so we could have a front row view. He knew a lot about the animals and was able to answer all our questions. We even saw a lion eating a prey at maybe 5 to 10 meters distance! Still felt very safe alll the time.
Our cook was also fantastic. He was so creative with the food. We are both vegetarian and always had a very good meal. It wa funny to see how all the guests get popcorn before dinner and our plate was always the biggest in comparison with the other guests.
The communication with Emma was smooth and she arranged eveything fine. We could even store our big backpags at her home, so we only had to carry a small bag.
I would recommend doing the camping. Especially camping in the Serengeti was very special, because you just sleep in the middle of the park, hearing all the animal sounds at night.
Summed up, it was one of the best experiences we had in our trip and I defenitely recommend going with Shemeji safari!

Great Safari
I had a great time with my wife and daughter at Masai Mara, Nakuku, Nivasha lakes. Mr Otieno and out guide Shuma were very professional, attentive and made efforts to enjoy and see wildbeest. We were happy to see lines of Zebras, Elephants, Buffalo, Lions and so on....Leopard was beautiful and Cheetah.
Lodges provided were great especially the one in Masai Mara.
The car was good too. Keep in mind we stayed for 6 full days we visited most it...long hrs of travel but worth it.
We are returning again and probably will do Masai Mara for 4 days.
Mr Otieno was in excellent in terms of email communications. I trusted him all along also when making payments given that I booked it all from London. I will use the same company again.
Thank you Shuma and Mr Otieno.

From first contact with Encompass they were enthusiastic, listened to what we wanted and delivered.
We have just returned after spending 3 weeks in both Kenya and Tanzania.
From our first phone to Encompass who we hadn't heard of before doing some internet research.
Initially we were going with the popular named tour companies before we stumbled across Encompass.
We didn't really know what we wanted but with the help of Jonno, Boss of Encompass( who is South African) he drafted up an itinerary and sent it to us.
The email had a link to our own web page which had everything set out in it, including costs
We thought we would be part of a small group but no, it was just going to be the 2 of us plus it was cheaper than the other crowds for similar itinerary.
Going to Africa for us was a bit scary and we were trying to cover all the what ifs' but there were none for us.
From our first contact with Encompass to arriving home everything went like clockwork.
We saw some amazing sites, felt perfectly safe at all times, accomodation 5 star
Most of our time was on dirt roads, so yes it can be a bit rough at times.
We visited these parks in this order:-
Samburu National Park
Lake Nakuru National Park
Lake Naivasha- water safari and walking amongst the animals on the island
Masai Mara National Reserve
Serengeti National Park-saw migrating wildebeest and zebras which we didn't expect in May
Ngorongoro Crater
Tarangire National Park
Amboseli National Park- saw Mt Kilimanjaro.
Our tour started and finished in Nairobi.
We had some long days driving between parks.
The longest was supposed to be 10 hrs from Masai Mara to The Serengeti which included crossing the border but it ended up being 11 and a half hours as, early into the trip we had a fan belt break.
Part of this trip was extremely rough.
In hindsight, I may have looked a cutting out 1 or 2 of the parks and included Victoria Falls.
In saying that, I throughly enjoyed what we did.
As we went in May, it was before the main season so the parks were a lot quieter which was to our advantage.
We had a little bit of rain which didn't affect us and some grey skies(not so good for photos)
Happy to answer any questions
