Great safari experience in Kenya

Our safari with Sola Safari Travels was amazing. Linsel was helpful in customizing our itinerary, quick to respond to our inquiries and very professional. Our guide Ken was awesome, he was constantly scanning around to spot animals, he had the ability to spot wildlife from far distance without needing binoculars. He is well connected, going above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable. Sola Safaris provided an excellent safari adventure, delivering every promise and making our trip unforgettable.

Sola Safari Travels is a top tour Company

Sola Safari Travels is a top tour company. I have been on two amazing safaris with them, this particular one was to Amboseli in Kenya which came in highly recommended. Each experience was unique and I left with a new found love for the animals and became more appreciative of the environment and for the people who live in those places. A special shout out to Ken my guide for all the amazing stories and so many interesting facts about Kenya, which my students will be so happy to hear.

Flamingoes at Lake Nakuru were the highlights of a great week

We have used Sola Safari TRavels very professional services for the 5th time now. Every aspect from airport pick up to the final day at the Sankara was carefully managed. All of our guides were friendly and well informed. They were responding to inquiries on anything Kenyan even before we reached the park. Our eighteen person group had a great experience. We valued the guides politeness, abundance of knowledge, timeliness and clean cars. I am grateful to Linsel for organising and managing so many different aspects. Everything worked perfectly together. Highly recommended!

Best Safari in Kenya

I contacted Linsel from Sola Safaris being referred to by a friend. I must admit that it was beyond my expectations. The entire planning was perfectly done thanks to Linsel's expertise. I was planning to go on a private safari but the budget was higher than I anticipated. Linsel curated the best safari based on my budget and specifications. I went on a group safari with other people who were also very friendly. The guide was also very professional and made the entire safari memorable. I felt safe the whole safari, kudos to Linsel and his team for making it my dream safari.

Exceptional Safari with Sola

The safari to Masai Mara was one of the best that I've had in a long time, it was long overdue. I chose to travel at the beginning of the New Year since I didn't want to travel when everyone else was doing so. I honestly enjoyed the entire experience, no crowding so you get to experience nature at its finest. I also give a big thank you to Sola Safari Travels for organizing my itinerary, my driver Ken is one hell of a guide. I felt at home the full safari. Will definitely book a visit the coast with Sola when I return to Kenya. I travelled solo btw.

Traveling at the start of the year was a great choice, it really lets you enjoy nature peacefully without the crowds. We’re also glad Ken took such good care of you, he’ll be happy to hear your feedback. Solo travel is a wonderful way to see the world at your own pace.

Great Value and an awesome guide

Had a great time with Sola Safari Travels. They picked us up from a different town without any hassle and our guide Peter was fantastic, super friendly, flexible and really made the trip memorable.
We saw a lot of wildlife, animals and stunning landscapes in just 1.5 days at Amboseli, which felt just right. The accommodation was basic but totally fine for the price. Overall, a great value and a smooth, enjoyable safari.
