A wonderful trip with Simon. 4 cracking days in the Mara. Simon organised a stunning spot alongside the Mara River that was perfect for relaxation inbetween morning and evening drives. We had a family of waterhogs in the area that were adorable to watch from our beds and the dinner with the sounds of the mara in the background was perfect. Simon took us on 2 drives a day, early morning and later afternoon to get the best chance to see the animals. We had great sightings of all the big Cats, lion, leopard and Cheetah, and saw Girrafe, Buffalo and Wildebeest gallor. It was brilliant. We saw a family of Cheetah everyday and caught them on the hunt! Simon has expert knowledge that he happily shared improving our binocular findings. His knowledge of birds is estounding, he's an encyclopedia for the flyers making it great fun. I wasnt a bird enthusiast before i went but i've come back one! Would very much recommend, he is very accomodating and a good laugh. !005 go again.

We had a great experience with Biko tours. We did 4 days Serengeti (+ Tarangire and Ngorongoro). They were very patient when preparing offer for us. They were able to find perfect price/experience solution. The best part was tour itself, where we were greally lucky and had the best guide, we could imagine. He was patient to answer all of our questions, telling us his life stories and best of all, thanks to him, we were able to find Big 5 in just 4 days tour. I highly recommend this agency and if I ever come back, I’m going with them, again.
4. Materuni Waterfall & Coffee tour.
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 3 reviews
Would you like to see a different side of Kilimanjaro? Would you like to visit a coffee farm and help make a pot of coffee from scratch?! If the answer is yes then this is the route for you. About two hours outside of Arusha is the village of Materuni, home of the Materuni waterfalls made up of snow run-off from Kilimanjaro. It's an easy half hour walk to see the falls. After viewing and possibly swimming in the falls, return to the village and experience how coffee is made. Members of the Chaga tribe will show you where the coffee is grown and you will help make the best cup of coffee you have ever tasted! You will help grind it, roast it, sift it, and finally drink it. As you are approaching Moshi keep your eyes open because every so often the clouds part and you can catch a glimpse of the iconic Mt. Kilimanjaro! My favorite tour ever!

Safaris represent a very special experience and it was great to feel you can just seat back and let the experts plan the very best for you. Safari Soles were recommended to me by a friend that went on a Safari with them in January, so when I decided to also go on a Safari in April, I got in contact with them. From that first contact communication went very smooth, Bryson was very attentive to my requests and, through his experience, helped to shape the itinerary of the Safari, as to maximize the experience. I received his support when booking the accommodation in Arusha, for the beginning and end of our Safari, after having my sights set on the Rivertrees Country Inn. He helped us obtain the best rates per night, better than what was offered through booking.com and also a lot more flexible. And this flexibility really came in handy after having our arrival flight to Kilimanjaro airport delayed and couldn't leave towards Ngorongoro National Park, the same day, as planned, since our accommodation was inside the park, and we weren't able to reach it before the closign of the park gates. So, on a very short notice, Bryson saved the day :) - we went directly to the Rivertrees Country Inn and started the Safari the next day. He could arrange so that we could go first to Serengeti and then to Ngorongoro, and changed the accommodation date for Ngorongoro. I don't know what we would have done, if we were to have booked the accommodation by ourselves. Also, I need to say that Safari Soles's prices are really good compared to other Safari companies. I was in contact with other Safari companies as well, but their prices were significantly higher. Bryson even helped us do a balloon Safari in Serengeti, after deciding to go for this experience from one day to another. Our guide and driver, David Simba, was very knowledgeable and we could find out a lot of interesting infos about the wildlife; also, he's a nice guy to be around, we felt safe with him and he organized the best lunches for us in the park. So Safari Soles is a great team, you really feel you receive support from them when needed, and they go that extra mile to make sure the experience is one of a kind. Definitely recommend them!

My Husband Bob and I loved the 5 days luxury Safari that Sam tailored for us. The highlight was the balloon ride flying over the 100's of wilderbeests backs. The brave experienced driver guide Suma answered all our questions and speaks very good English. He speaks French too. Thank you Allday team for booking us the best 5 star lodges in the wilderness, it was the best trip we have ever taken and would do it again. - Thank you again for making our vacation such a wonderful experience.

Just coming back from 5 days safari booked with Emnel Adventures. It was a mind blowing experience all through. Booking experience very individualized have done also research and suggested things and Nelson who is handling the travel proposals allways very nice and took my input into account. If he thought something else better he told me. Allways had feeling that he wants the best experience According to my wishes. I changed mind / dates etc several times he allways stayed calm and changed travel accordingly. The safari was absolutely exceeding expectations. Already the welcome at the airport with 3 men and nice table / coffee / tea and snacks to introduce the tour. Nelson was there for the welcome and my tour guide Rahim and as a surprise my personal photographer Abisae. I went then on 5 days trip / 4 nights on safari with Rahim and Abisae. Rahim studied tourism and has an education in safari tours and 20 years experience and this you feel he know everything on animals why an animal looks like it looks, how They live etc and he has the experience to see and find where the animals are. I practically saw all important animals, the big 5, giraffe, chitos, migration etc and all very close. Also it is a luxury to have my own photographer with me, Abisae has a professional camera (it turned out mine wasn’t that great for safari) that actually I only used my iPhone for pictures as I knew I will get good photos from Abisae from the animals and myself. He was very patients and took pictures of the animals and myself in all sort of positions. Great pictures! So happy that I have professional pictures from this amazing 5 days. I felt like a princess both very attentive lunches in nice sceneries great with beers and wines offered. Other groups had lunch boxes we a really meal in comfy chairs. Hotels perfect as expected. Was quite sad after the 5 days to leave the 2 guys. The safari for me Was every penny worth it and you need to feel yourself how it feels and I can 100% recommend Emnel Adventures with Nelson and my Tour guide Rahim and Abisae. Was all perfect experience. Usually I do not write TripAdvisor reviews. But this experience was so good that I would like also that others can do these experiences as well. Happy to also answer any questions if you have. After the trip I lost all my credit cards and Nelson called all airlines, airports, hotel baloon agency etc to try to get them back even offered to rent me money to bridge till I have my new card. Even thinking to do another safari in a couple of years and of course would allways go again with Emnel Adventure Thank you to Nelson, Rahim and Abisae for this unforgettable experience
