A memorable safari, but disappointing guide behaviour
Our safari in Tanzania was memorable for the wildlife we encountered, and our guide, Lucas, was knowledgeable and skilled at spotting animals. However, his behaviour and communication were disappointing.
The most upsetting incident occurred on the morning of 28 August at our camp. Due to a misunderstanding about the breakfast and departure times, Lucas raised his voice at me in front of several camp staff and said, “Why do you do this?” I found this behaviour unprofessional and disrespectful, particularly as the misunderstanding could have been resolved through calm and respectful communication.
There were also some communication issues during the trip, as well as a delay on the first day while the vehicle underwent brake adjustments. While we appreciated Lucas’s wildlife knowledge, respectful communication and professional conduct are equally important to the overall safari experience.
*Update following the company's response:*
Following my review, Safari Soles contacted me personally and investigated the concerns I raised. The management team acknowledged the issues and informed me that Lucas had been suspended from guiding assignments pending further professional training and evaluation. They also outlined steps to address broader operational and communication issues.
I appreciate that the management team took my feedback seriously and followed through on its commitments. While this does not change what my family experienced during the safari, I believe it is fair to acknowledge the company's subsequent response and efforts to address the issues raised.

Overall extremely Professional, Safe and Fun Adventure
We were on a 7-day safari at the beginning of October. We went from Arusha to the central Serengeti, the Ngorongoro, and finally the northern part.
Even though I have done a lot of previous trips, it was my first time in central Africa and also going on safari. And it honestly really blew me away. From the first day, Elli (our guide, the best) amazed us with the whole experience. The jeep we travelled in and did the safaris in was very well equipped and comfortable. He was very good company as well as a guide, and was extremely well informed on, honestly, everything. The lodges we stayed at were mostly amazing, with some being “only” very good. The parks are amazing, but you can’t really describe that. We saw many, many animals, more than expected. Maybe that’s because we were lucky, but more likely it’s because Elli is ridiculously good at spotting animals.
I can really recommend this safari wholeheartedly and will most likely come back, hopefully with Elli.
Professional and Fun
Safari Soles provided us with seamless service from start to finish. They were the first operator to come back to us with an outline itinerary and cost (our initial plans were a little vague), followed by plenty of options as we honed in on our plans. Throughout the process, they were wonderfully responsive and professional (shout out to Faith, who was exceptional). This was a short trip, covering 4 days/3 nights at Lake Nakuru and Masai Mara. Our flight arrived at Nairobi airport early in the morning (6am) but there was never any concern about having to wait to be picked up. Our guide, Sammy, was there with a cheery smile and warm welcome to take us straight off on our trip. Similarly, on the return, we were taken directly to the airport for our onward flight at 9pm, but with a thoughtful stop to allow us to have a bite to eat at a shopping mall prior to airport drop-off.
Sammy was exceptional. Nothing was too much effort, going out of his way to give us the best experience. His enthusiasm for the natural world and conservation shone through. He was keen to discuss all aspects of life in Kenya and never tired of answering our questions.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Safari Soles. Exceptional.

The best safari company ever!
We had an absolutely amazing time on our customized 3 day safari with Safari soles. We were able to fully customize a 9 day trip with a safari and trip to Zanzibar. Our safari guide Simon was amazing, very kind, respectful and knowledgeable about the area and all the animals. He made the safari even better for us, was so helpful and overall just really great company! He went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and that we had everything we needed. We saw every animal we wanted to see, Simon made sure we got to see everything we wanted to and more! I highly recommended safari soles and specifically Simon as our safari guide! Our tour operator Gladness who booked our trip for us and answered all of our crazy questions was also amazing. She was available for any and all questions, and communicated so well to ensure we booked our dream trip. Such a great experience with safari soles!
5* Service
Wow what an amazing trip! We booked with SafariSoles for our Honeymoon Safari and everything was well organised and stress free for us. The communication was excellent on the lead up to the trip and throughout the trip itself. Our guide Lucas was amazing! His knowledge and experience was so impressive and we’ve truly made a friend for life! Since coming home we have recommended a Safari with SafariSoles to all our family and friends and we hope to visit again in the very near future.
