Amazing experience, great guide: Mandela
For our first safari in Tanzania, we compared many operators. For us, it was important to have great service, an individually planned route with self-selected lodges, and especially a locally owned company with good working conditions and responsible tourism. Safari Soles ticked all those boxes, and we are very happy we chose them.
Janeth was extremely helpful and quick to respond during the planning.
We had a slightly bumpy start: my luggage was left behind in Zurich, and Janeth was very helpful in coordinating with the airports to get it to us.
Then we met Mandela as our safari driver.
He was exactly the kind of safari guide we could have wished for. He is incredibly knowledgeable, passionate about what he does and at the same time very relaxed. He always gave us exactly the right amount of information: enough to really understand what we were seeing, but never too much to still give time to enjoy the moments . Whenever we had questions, he answered them with so much passion that you could tell he genuinely loves his job.
What made him especially great for us was that we could also talk about everything else. You spend basically the entire day with your guide, from early morning until dinner, so having someone you genuinely enjoy spending time with makes such a difference. We talked about Tanzania, travel, life and so many other things, and he completely matched our vibe.
He also knows the parks extremely well. He would sometimes adjust the route spontaneously to avoid the crowds, and several times we had beautiful lunch spots completely to ourselves instead of being surrounded by dozens of safari cars. Those little decisions made the safari feel much more personal and special.
He took care of everything, so we could simply relax and enjoy the experience. And when my luggage was finally flown into the Serengeti, he went above and beyond again: he coordinated with Janeth and the airport staff and even came with us to collect it.
Thank you so much, Mandela! If you are booking a safari with Safari Soles, definitely ask for Mandela as your guide if he is available. We genuinely could not have wished for a better guide and I would book a safari with him again anytime!
All the lodges and stops on our itinerary were great. The only activity we would recommend skipping is the Maasai village. We felt uncomfortable with the strong pressure to buy and donate, and the school visit felt very staged. We respect the culture, but this experience simply did not feel right to us. We shared more details in our review of the village itself, but would recommend Safari Soles to let guests opt out of this activity.
Overall, a fantastic safari experience, especially thanks to Mandela. We would absolutely choose Safari Soles again!
Excellent 6 day Safari
We just wrapped up an incredible 6-day safari tour in Kenya with Safari Soles, and it truly exceeded all our expectations!
From the very beginning, the organization was seamless. Our trip planner, Ruth, was incredibly communicative, attentive, and quick to answer every single question we had leading up to the trip. She even took the time to personally meet us at our hotel on the first day before we headed out, which was a wonderfully thoughtful touch that set the tone for the entire journey.
Our guide, Sam, was outstanding. He is extraordinarily knowledgeable about Kenya’s wildlife and ecosystem, and his tracking skills are next-level. What we appreciated most was his unique approach: he avoided the crowds of other safari vehicles, allowing us to enjoy private, authentic sightings. He was always respectful of the wildlife, maintaining a safe and responsible distance while still giving us incredible views. He is extraordinarily knowledgeable about all the animals, and we learned so many fascinating details about each species we encountered along the way Beyond his expertise, Sam is just a genuine, kind person, he even stopped to assist a few another safari guides, one who had a flat tire, and another who was stuck on a trail demonstrating the true spirit of hospitality.
To top it all off, we were pleasantly surprised with an unexpected upgrade to a luxury lodge during our trip, which made the experience feel all the more special and relaxing after full days of game drives.
If you’re planning a safari in Kenya, I cannot recommend Ruth, Sam, and the Safari Soles team enough. Flawless communication, great wildlife guiding, and unmatched hospitality from start to finish!
A Magical Honeymoon Safari — Thank You, Chediel and Safari Soles!
Our honeymoon safari in Tanzania was nothing short of magical, and so much of that was thanks to our extraordinary guide, Chediel Simon.
From the very beginning, every detail of our journey was thoughtfully tailored to us. Chediel went far beyond what anyone could expect of a safari guide. He wasn’t simply our guide; he became a friend. His warmth, kindness, attentiveness, and genuine desire to make our honeymoon special made an already extraordinary experience truly unforgettable.
From the breathtaking Serengeti to the magnificent Ngorongoro Crater, every day was filled with adventure, beauty, laughter, and wonderful surprises. Chediel’s knowledge, enthusiasm, and personal attention made every moment even more meaningful. Nothing ever felt routine or impersonal. We genuinely felt cared for throughout our journey.
There are countless safari companies to choose from, but when it comes to personalized attention, genuine warmth, and exceptional care, Safari Soles is in a league of its own. They understand that a truly memorable safari is not simply about the places you visit or the animals you see, but about how the entire experience makes you feel.
We arrived in Tanzania as newlyweds looking forward to an adventure of a lifetime. We left with beautiful memories, full hearts, and a wonderful new friend in Chediel.
Thank you, Chediel, for making our honeymoon so incredibly special. You gave us memories we will cherish forever.
We cannot recommend Safari Soles highly enough!

Excellent five-day safari with Safari Soles!
Safari Soles are true professionals! We went on a five-day safari to Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro, and everything went smoothly from start to finish. Everything was well organised, on schedule and stress-free. The experience exceeded our expectations!
Our contact person, Jamal, was professional, responsive and helpful throughout the planning process. Communication was always clear and quick, and he took care of all our wishes and made sure we had all the information we needed well in advance.
Our guide and driver, Abdul, was excellent! He was friendly, polite, always on time and very knowledgeable. His driving was safe and reliable, even on the rough safari roads. He knew the animals and their behaviour extremely well and had an incredible eye for spotting wildlife. Thanks to his expertise, we managed to see all of the Big Five and countless other animals. He really helped make the safari a memorable experience.
We also took a day trip with another company during our stay in Tanzania, and based on our experiences, we would choose Safari Soles every time. We would happily recommend them to anyone planning a safari in Tanzania. And if you have the chance, we would especially recommend asking for Abdul as your guide - a knowledgeable guide can make all the difference!
Great week’s safari
We had an amazing week in safari.
A late start on the first day due to traffic but once we got going it was all good. Kristian looked after us very well seeking out the animals we were keen to see. Accommodation was good too
