Great service
Thanks to Safari Soles and its team for arranging our safari trip. Athanas at customers service helped us a lot when we had to postpone our trip to Tanzania due to flights cancellations, rebooked our local flights at no charge and was in contact and ready to provide any assistance we needed.
When we arrived to Arusha the tour guide Abrazach was already waiting for us and took care of our family for the whole 2 days of our trip.

True professional guide and driver
The weather was terrible. Raining every day. One day we were stuck for three hours by the flood. Another day we escaped the heavy storm in the last moment. What can you see in such weather? Let see our photos.

How it is possible? I think there are two reasons. First Boniface is a true professional. Second he loves animals as we do.
Thank You, Boniface, Thank You very much.

Super nice Tour with a great Guide from a nice, little lokal company
We booked our safari directly through the operator, Sole Safari. You simply tell them your desired trip duration and dates, as well as your budget (low, middle, luxury). We received three different offers and chose the one that suited us best.
We booked a private safari for six days. The jeep was designed for six people, so the two of us had plenty of space. Our guide, Dickson, made the whole experience unforgettable. He has nine years of experience and knew exactly where to find the animals. At the same time, he showed the animals the necessary respect, driving slowly and carefully or keeping a safe distance.
The accommodations were wonderful and clean, and the staff were incredibly courteous and helpful, fulfilling every wish to the best of their ability. The food was always very good and more than ample.
We would definitely book through Sole Safari again, partly because of the excellent service and communication, but also because Sole Safari is a small, local company and not run by a foreign investor.
We highly recommend them!
Highly recommend Safari Soles and Oscar
Our experience with Safari Soles was excellent from the beginning. The booking process was easy and the team was very responsive to our many questions as we made decisions prior to booking and also as we got closer to the date of our trip.
The highlight of our experience was definitely our amazing guide, Oscar, who we could not recommend enough. Oscar is incredibly knowledgeable, experienced, and fun. We learned so much from him, not only about the animals we were seeing and locations we were visiting, but also about Tanzania’s history and culture. He also always went out of his way to make sure everything went smoothly. Oscar really made our experience so special!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Incredible Tanzania Safari – Safari Soles, Joachim, Frank & Dickson Were Outstanding
Our safari with Safari Soles was truly one of the best travel experiences we’ve ever had.
My first interaction was with Joachim. I reached out for a quote and received a response within just a few hours. After a series of back-and-forth questions, Joachim put together a detailed itinerary for us to review. We ended up making several changes to the length of our stay, the dates, and some of the activities we wanted to include, and throughout the entire process Joachim was professional, friendly, and incredibly helpful. My experience working with him was easily a 10/10.
Once we agreed on the details, payment was simple. They do charge a 3.5% credit card fee, so if you’re planning to pay entirely by card, keep that in mind. The quote was provided as both a neatly written PDF and an online version, and all of the hotels were clearly listed so we could research and review them before confirming.
When we arrived in Tanzania, we were greeted by Frank, who immediately made us feel welcome. He was friendly, helpful, and hilarious. The next day we explored the town of Arusha with him. Frank took us to a local market, brought us to a delicious local lunch (only $30 USD for five people!), and gave us a general sightseeing tour of the city. It was a fantastic day and a great introduction to Tanzania.
The following day we met our safari guide, Dickson—and I truly cannot say enough about this man. He was a wealth of knowledge, experience, and hospitality. His cheerful response of “Yes please?!” every time someone said his name before asking a question will always be one of my favorite memories from the trip. Whether he was sharing fascinating facts about animals, telling stories from past safaris, preparing our picnic lunches, or helping with our bags, Dickson represented the absolute highest level of professionalism and care.
Over the next six days we traveled through Ngorongoro Crater, Tarangire National Park, the Serengeti, Lake Eyasi, and many other incredible places. We saw everything you could imagine: leopards, lions, cheetahs, elephants, giraffes, antelope, dik-diks, gazelles, rhinos, hippos, zebras, hyenas, eagles, vultures, and so much more. Dickson always positioned us perfectly to see animals in their natural environment.
All of the hotels Safari Soles selected for us were excellent. Our daily lunches were great, and Dickson was always insisting on serving us. The beer and wine in the vehicle were cold and plentiful, and there was always plenty of fresh water and soft drinks available. We brought along our own snacks for the long drives but found we rarely ate them—there was simply too much excitement.
Aside from the wildlife, one of the biggest highlights of the trip was visiting local tribes. We spent time with the Maasai, the Hadzabe, and the Datoga tribes, learning about their cultures and traditions. It was a truly eye-opening experience.
A few of my biggest takeaways:
• Take advantage of all the cultural experiences you can. Visiting the tribes might feel intimidating at first, but it’s incredibly worthwhile.
• The night game drive is unforgettable.
• The hot air balloon over the Serengeti is amazing—a spectacular bird’s-eye view of the landscape. The staff were wonderful and the meal afterward was one of the best we had on the trip. You also receive a beautiful certificate afterward.
• Be prepared for long days of driving on rough roads.
• Bring charging adapters.
• Bring a good pair of binoculars (Safari Soles had great ones in the vehicle, but many other companies we saw did not).
• If you’re visiting during the rainy season, bring multiple pairs of shoes.
Overall, this trip was easily one of my all-time favorites. Safari Soles, Frank, Joachim, Lawrence, and especially Dickson made the experience absolutely perfect. They truly went above and beyond—at one point they literally gave us the shirts off their backs when we needed them.
If you’re considering a safari, don’t waste time comparing companies. Safari Soles is the one to choose.
