Eli was perfect! Outdid all my expectations!
So, we had a 7-day safari in Tarangire, Ngorongoro and 4 days in Serengeti.
We went private and for us this was perfect, we did everything at our own pace. I think that was a big plus. Our guide Eli was exceptional, professional and funny. He knew a lot about the animals of course, but also a lot about vegetation, how everything fits together and coexists. The mechanisms between different animals, plants, the soils, landscape, and history.
The Jeep was very comfortable, even after 7 days of non-stop driving.
We got everything from herds of Gnus and zebras, to rhinos, hippos, elephants, leopards, even a cheetah. All the different gazelles, giraffes, baboons and other small apes, vultures, ostriches, wild bore. I’m sure I forgot many others. Of course mostly thanks to Eli that has superhuman vision. Also the gnu crossing was something else.
What I underestimated is the importance of a good pair of binoculars. Best 150€ we invested in this trip. Everything else is kinda irrelevant.
The lodges were way better then expected and so was the food both at lunch and dinner.
Also a praise to patience, often waiting just a bit longer around animals paid off as it allowed a glimpse into their behaviours and not just static “shots”.
With that we saw a lot of different behaviours and situations from different animals. Lions on trees, mating, sleeping, curling, etc. this was possible also by visiting similar places day after day. So while I thought maybe 4 days in Serengeti would get repetitive, I have to report the opposite.
A truly special place that has to be taken with respect and patience, as our guide did.

Very satisfied with Safari Soles. the sales and guide are really wonderful.
I’m very happy with Safari Soles’ service.
Jackson was my first point of contact, and he was a big reason I chose Safari Soles. He replied to emails very quickly—it felt like he never had time off. He also understood what I needed efficiently, and we communicated very smoothly. And his plan was really cost-effective and totally fits our budget.
Another thing I really appreciated was that once my safari started, all the hotel and sight photos Jackson sent me matched exactly what I saw, and the itinerary was followed 100%.
Of course, one other key person made this happen: our guide, Abu. He was very professional and had deep knowledge of animals, plants, and culture. I really enjoyed his briefing before each day’s drive. It was like a full lecture—I was totally into it and learned so much.
The only time I cried on this trip was because of Abu. He didn’t just put his knowledge into practice; he was also very responsible. When we were staying at a camp in northern Serengeti, an angry elephant charged toward our dining area. Abu was the only one who ran out and used professional hand signals to defuse the situation. Afterward, he even took the initiative to teach the camp staff how to drive elephants away.
He also had a good sense of boundaries. He gave us space to chat with each other, and joked with us at the right moments to keep things lively. Finally, I’m very grateful that after each day’s drive, after making sure we all went to rest, he carefully cleaned the vehicle. He was actually the most tired person every day, because he had to drive for long hours and take care of us. This really mattered—it meant we could take photos through the cleanest windows every day!
All in all, the whole 9-day trip, from the first communication to getting home safely, was very smooth. Thanks to Safari Soles for giving me a reason to return to Africa!
Of course, it would be even better if information like airport pickup and drop-off were shared before I asked, even though Safari Soles had already arranged everything.

An exceptional safari that we recommend for 100%!
We had an absolutely incredible week on safari, a dream experience that will stay with us forever!
A huge congratulations to Douglas for the flawless organization of this trip. Everything was perfect from beginning to end: the daily adventures, the delicious meals, and the truly amazing campsites. Everything came together to create an unforgettable experience.
We were lucky enough to see an incredible variety of wildlife: giraffes, elephants, lions, gazelles, cheetahs, leopards, hippos, rhinos, the great wildebeest migration crossing… and even a serval!
A special mention goes to Sheema, our guide, who was absolutely amazing! Thanks to his experience, knowledge, kindness, and great sense of humor, we enjoyed truly unique moments. We are so glad we got to share this adventure with him.
We return home with wonderful memories and incredible images that will stay with us forever.
Thank you, Douglas and Sheema, for making this adventure so special!

Perfect safari experience!
We had a customized 7 days mid-range private safari to Tarangere NP, Ngorongoro protected area, Central Serengeti and Northern Serengeti with great migration.
All perfectly organized. Lodges were all excellent, to the upper quality level, with a special mention to the Serengeti Safari Heaven and the Safari Heaven Migration camp. The food was always very good.
But it was our guide Eli who made our experience so unique and memorable. Incredibly experienced and knowledgeable, he drove us through the parks, giving us a lot of insights and information. Always good humoured, kind and respectful of the animals, the environment and the other guests, he managed to let us meet all
of the big fives: more than 70 lions (yes, we counted them!), 3 leopards, 8 rynos, 5 cheetahs, over 50 elephants, giraffes, hippos, hundreds of buffalos, zebras, gazelles, etc and thousands of gnus… crossing the Mara river. We can only recommend him!
Reliable, very responsive, well organized tour operator, would highly recommend.
Everything was very well organised, we had a perfect honeymoon safari with Safari Soles! We were lucky to have Japhet as our safari guide - he was able to spot every animal we were interested in and he also had immense knowledge about the wildlife we were observing. There were also a list of birds I really wanted to see and it turned out Japhet was a fellow bird lover, so he was able to spot all of my favourite birds and many more that I haven't heard of! I would highly recommend him to anybody who is a bird enthusiast.
