Superbly organised family of five holiday, great advice and assistance with Walter's personal touch
We were referred to Walter Kohrs (Safari Onine) by other Aussie friends who have previously used him. The attention to detail and the speed of replies made booking this holiday in Africa very easy. Previously I have organised most holidays by myself online but this was much better as I did not need to do all the research or have the headaches. Walter's knowledge, personal experience and great advice was immeasurable.
We utilised the most with our time away (22days) going to Cape Town, Botswana, Victoria Falls and Sabi Sands (Total 4 game parks). All transfers and internal flights (7) ran smoothly. Safari online even checked in our airline tickets online at the appropriate time.
I was also extremely impressed by the virtual online itinerary supplied once the holiday was booked.

Mt. Meru Claimb
My grown daughter and I had a fine experience climbing Mt. Meru. Tanzania Expeditions did a great job for us on the 4 day climb and we made it to the summit. We chose Meru over Kilimanjaro in order to spend fewer days on the climb. But Meru has some exposed areas that were a little concerning and I got a scraped knee when I fell on loose rock during the descent. In retrospect, I would do Kilimanjaro instead of Meru. I would use Tanzania Expeditions again.

Overall it was good but could have been better.
The service was good, communications excellent, accommodating our place to meet was very good. The tour of the refuge itself was very good, Raymond knows the refuge very well and got us some excellent wildlife photo shots.
Two negatives that all our team agreed on: 1. Raymond drives a bit too fast. I know the roads are rough, but in some places a bit of caution would be prudent. 2. We were the only visitors in the camp, it was a bit unnerving for the ladies in our group. I would request if we come back again, not to be housed as the only visitors in the camp. Not sure what the reason was, I asked a couple of times why, but was never given a satisfactory answer.

I highly recommend Karibu Safaris, everything was very, very good
We did 3 days safari in Amboseli National Park and everything was very good. Kenya is one of the best places in the world for safari and they have a lot of national parks, that's way this was our 3rd safari here.
We started our journey from Nairobi Airport, where our driver David was waiting us at 6 AM. We arrived in Serena Lodge in time for lunch; on our way we had the 1st safari game, because this lodge is situated in the middle of the park ..... amazing place.
Everything was very well organized from the pick up, accommodation (super lodge inside), meals (delicious), safari games and the most important: we had a very, very good driver. David was always taking care of us and explaining everything ....we are that kind of tourists which wants to know everything. He have good knowledge's about the animals, is always very patient and his instinct is really good in finding the predators. He's always in contact with the other drivers and is checking where are the lions. We saw all 5 five and many more.
We highly recommend Karibu safari, definitely the 4th safari will be with them!
Thank you for a memorable holiday!

Up Close and Personal in Tanzania
My father and I booked a Safari in February 2017 through a bunch of middle men (each taking a cut off the top), eventually ending up with Hillary as our driver. We joined another four people from around the globe and from the get go, we counted ourselves lucky to have Hillary as our guide.
He was enthusiastic, and willing to be flexible, while providing us with the best complete safari experience possible. Hillary was able to get us up so close to the game and seemed to know exactly where to go. We spent the best part of an hour driving around to try and find some male lions in the south of the Serengeti and Hillary's determination and patience paid off.
If you ask nicely, he may even let you drive along the African plains.

Such an amazing safari tour with this team !
Our trip between the Tuli Block and Victoria falls was really interesting and lovely ! Botswana is such a beautiful country... The wildlife, the landscapes, the traditional food, the cultural experiences (dances, traditionnal baskets...) was fascinating for us.
We really enjoyed our stay in every lodge (so comfortable!) and the organization was perfect, except maybe for the bumpy roads into the bush ;-)
The best part is the human quality of the team, the guides really loved their job, they are fun, full of interesting stories and really helpful. They took such good care of us... We will definitely come back next year !

Experience of a lifetime :)
Went for a 3 days 2 nights safari arranged by Wildebeest Safaris. Was an amazing experience! There are no words to express how beautiful and enriching going to the Maasai Mara is. Our guide James was superb and helped us see many many animals including a cheetah chase and kill a gazelle.
The trip was very well organized by Wildebeest Safaris, thanks to Noah. He answered all my questions patiently and helped me figure out the best options. Everything was taken care of - from the travel to and from the Mara, accommodation (at Ol Moran Tented camp which was amazing as well), all the game drives and meals as well.
Big thanks to Noah and Wildebeest Safaris!

We had an amazing safari trip with Soul of Tanzania. Can't imagine a better experience!
This was our first trip to Africa. We found it quite overwhelming choosing a travel company: there are so many that provide safari tours to East Africa.
From my first contact with Iris, I felt confident that I had chosen the right company. Response to my many emails was always prompt. Iris did a great job planning our itinerary. The recommendations she made regarding accommodation and the route we travelled turned out to be spot on. We appreciated the orientation provided by Iris on our arrival in Arusha and the opportunity to meet our guide, Nico.
Our vehicle exceeded our expectations. Extra height in the windows and wind up passenger windows meant we had uninterrupted views of the wildlife.
A guide can make the difference between a good tour and a great one! Nico was exceptional and did everything he could to ensure we had a fantastic Safari experience. He was very professional in his approach and is clearly very proud of the service Soul of Tanzania is providing.
Nico was very knowledgeable about the flora, fauna and the geography of East Africa. We learnt so much about Tanzania. We were impressed with Nico's intricate knowledge of the wildlife parks. Without this in depth knowledge of the parks and their wildlife we would not have been able to take such stunning photographs of the wildlife. Nico's careful organisation of our game drives meant we saw a huge number of animals and many varied landscapes. As for Nico's driving skills: they were exceptional.
We were pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food on our trip: particularly the hot lunches. We had expected to be eating paper bag lunches but instead dined like Kings and Queens (much to the envy of travellers with other Safari companies). We enjoyed the addition of wine and coffee with our lunches.
We had a wonderful first trip to Africa and would like to thank The Soul of Tanzania for providing us with such a rich experience.
