Last week we made three excursions to Salalah with Takamul Travel. The first two excursions, Salalah and the West Coast and Mountain Safari, with Karel as guide while the third, Desert sunset tour, with Ahmed Al Shahri. Both guides were extremely kind and competent to answer in an esustive way to all our questions. We enjoyed both their professionalism and the destinations and were completely satisfied. We therefore recommend that you contact them.
Excellent experience

I really enjoyed this tour. The waterfall and pools were truly stunning and being able to swim with the fish was very special. The other sites were all really beautiful and a wide variety of sites. I recommend hiking down to the bottom of the sinkhole.
Not to be missed, with an excellent European guide

A memorable day with our excellent guide Karel, who was good fun as well incredibly well-versed in every relevant topic imaginable. Very efficient too. The hike was physically demanding but far less challenging than expected (we are 56 And 67 years old, in relatively good shape). The sinkhole was spectacular and all the other sights we took in with joy whether river, waterfalls, flora and fauna. Worth every penny or cent. The cherry on the cake was the fact that we were all alone in the sinkhole. Choose your day well if you can, avoid weekends. Do not miss this wonderful experience!
This small group tour made my Salalah experience. Highly recommended!

What a wonderful trip! You get to see the amazing scenery east of Salalah, from the beautiful Wadi Darbat (you won’t stop taking pictures there) to the breathtaking scenery viewed from the lookouts of Jebel Samhan. The sinkholes are truly wonderful but take a back seat compared to the other stops. Our guide Karol, was exceptional with great local cultural, geographical and botanical knowledge. This small group tour made my Salalah experience. Highly recommended.
The best guide

We experienced a very nice day with our family. Our guide Karel showed us the best locations around Salalah. He was super friendly and very competent. We would book a tour with him again at any time.

I realized 4 tours with Takamul Travel in December 2021. This Mountain Safari was one of them. Our guide and driver Karel is excellent and skilled driver as well expert for Omans’ history, people, habits etc. We got a lot of information about this beautiful country and we saw many exiting landscape places. I recommend Karel and his services to everybody who would like to explore Oman. P.S.: Besides this tour we had Half day in desert tour (the best because I’m keen on photography), The Odyssea on West coast and Far East tour.

We had an incredible experience with my family in the mountain, with incredible view. Our stay wont have been so amazing without the extensive knowledge of the guide Mr Karel Tomastik who speaks English, French, Arabic , Czech and maybe more. Thank you Mr Karel for the time.
Interesting day in Oman

We had a very interesting day in Oman, which we had never known before. Thanks to the excellent guide Karel we learned a lot about the country and its people. Even though we were not in the country during the growing season, the green corners we were able to discover thanks to Karel surprised us. It was a very nice, informative excursion worth booking. Only accessibility information should be reconsidered;)
