Three Extraordinary Days along the Mara River
Josphat, Simon and the entire team at Solaris provided a superior end to end safari experience. I had many questions in advance of the safari which Josphat fielded accurately and professionally. Simon found us the best vistas, answered all questions about flora, fauna and the behavior of the animals during our experience. He was conscious about how the animals were behaving in the presence of people, and moved us to positions that wouldn't disturb the game in their home territory. I don't think we could have had a better experience-it was simply breathtaking!

Excellent safari, guide found all the animals.
I went on a 6 day safari, including Masai mara, Lake Nakuru and Amoseli. Our guide was very knowledgeable and found all the animals. Very good value for money.

Exciting, comfortable and romantic safari, full of adventure
I'm very pleased we decided to go with Tanzania Choice. All communication was timely, efficient, friendly and professional. Tanzania is a very special, very beautiful place and our guide, Leslie, was very informative and experienced. Brenda of Tanzania Choice went above and beyond in arranging our trip. Our special dietary requirements were well taken care of for us in advance and we stayed in places that exceeded our expectations. She arranged our trip beautifully.
I miss it very much.

Stunningly awesome !
Rose did an amazing job to deliver an itinerary that way surpassed our expectations. Accommodation...service...all just blew us away. In fact, we were so pleased, we wrote to Rose to tell her what a great job she had done...even before our trip ended, and to sound her out that we will be in touch with her shortly...to book our next safari. If we had to find a shortcoming, we would have to say that we ate and drank more than we should have, because we were so spoilt for choice. Thanks Rose ! We have since recommended you to our friends.

Amazing! I saw more than I expected!
I advice Safari tour to the Mikumi National park with Hello Tanzania to all who would like to receive a good service and to see terrific scenes of the wildlife. In 2 day Safari we saw elephants, lion, giraffes, zebras, elands, hippos, crocodiles, wildbeasts, birds. Every 10 minutes we saw a new animal. It was amazing! Driver, car, safari camping - all it were good. Thank you!
Dishonest operator.
This operator booked 4 clients with us from 4 July. They confirmed the booking last minute with no time to get payment to us. We honoured the booking and accepted the clients on the promise from Collins and Paul of full-payment within 2 days, they have completely ignored every subsequent request for payment. Another operator in the Kafue National Park is also owed money for the same clients. We will never tough with operator again.

Wonderful safari!
We've just finish our fuor days safari. It was perfect! We've been in Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro. Beautiul landescape and fantastic animals. Our guide, Lewis, was very qualified, and our chef, Prince, prepared for us a lot of good food. He worried about our tastes. We didn't have any problem whit the jeep. All the staff took care of us.
We have been in tent, the equipment was all Ok
We recommend a safari with Travel for Change Africa.

Efficient, responsive and trustworthy
My wife and I travelled to the Masai Mara for the Great Migration and had the most wonderful time. Clare was most helpful in her timely, responsive and accurate advice. We stayed at Kichwa Tembo and had an amazing experience. The entire safari trip went very smoothly and although it was our first time in Kenya, we felt completely safe due to Clare's planning. Our transfers were smooth and went without a hitch. I would highly recommend Kibiko Safaris, and expecially Clare, for anyone looking for a stress-free holiday.

One of the most beautiful places on earth, full of wildlife
Beautiful landscapes, and we saw the big 5 (lion, elephant, leopard, rhino, buffalo) plus everything else - cheetahs, giraffes, wildebeest, hyena, warthogs, hippos, crocs, etc. We waited a few hours at the end to see a herd of wildebeest cross the Mara River. July and August is the best time to go to the Mara to see the wildebeest migration and cats hunting. We saw lions, cheetahs, and leopards with fresh kills. It's the dry season so more animals are out and about at the watering holes. The Masai are graceful with their bright red cloaks and kind to the tourists. We didn't do the cultural visit to the Masai village because another guest told us that you have to pay extra to get in, and it was mostly uncomfortable situations of them pressuring you to buy souvenirs or donate more money. You can hang out with Masai at the camps anyways.
Lenchada camp was great - safari tents with comfortable beds on cots, bed nets, and a private bathroom with hot water attached to your tent. There are Masai workers at the camp that make a campfire at night who are nice and fun to talk to. Some other tourists even bought a goat from the Masai and roasted it over the fire. Just make sure you leave your tent zipped so the baboons don't get in at night. No locks on the tents. Dinner and breakfast buffets were hot and tasty, and also had fruit, tea, hot chocolate, and beer. Only the packed lunch they gave us for the safari day was rubbish - sandwich with dry bread and a few slices of tomato - come on. Inedible. Luckily I had taken some extra breakfast with me. The camp runs a generator for a few hours so you can have lights and charge your phone.
The only critique is that many of the dirt roads are absolutely horrible and I'm surprised our big safari van made it through most of them. Even the roads outside the park coming from Nairobi practically gave me a stroke from the vibration, bouncing, and noise. Also during the high season, there are a lot of safari vans swarming around the animals, which is a bit annoying, but understandable.
