Fantastic planning, fantastic guide, fantastic experience
We had a fantastic week with Safari Soles. During the planning phase everything already felt very comfortable with them. The adapted the trip several times for us and everything went smooth and with quick follow-ups. In Tanzania the safari itself went exactly as planned. The vehicle was absolutely fantastic and our guide (Oscar, what a great guy! Please, if you want to have a good week on the road with an experienced expert, please request for him!) Oscar went all the way for us and he worked so hard all week to make things comfortable for us. That made our whole trip a great success. We will be back to Tanzania and Safari Soles again, for real!

Serengeti shall never die!
(I forgot to attach photos last time, so..
We were extremely happy with the entire safari experience. Everything was well organized, from the daily schedule to the game drives, and the whole trip felt smooth, relaxed, and enjoyable. A big part of that was having Abu as our guide.
Abu is a professional, detail-oriented, and wonderfully polished safari guide — basically the kind of person you want to have with you on the safari.
He was always incredibly punctual and managed our daily schedule really well. The safari vehicle was spotless every single day, which made a surprisingly big difference, especially when you’re spending so much time in the car. And yes, the windows were clean enough that taking photos through the glass was absolutely no problem.
What impressed me most was how much he genuinely cares about the animals. He was always respectful of wildlife, and he had a great sense of where an animal might move next and which angle would give us a clearer view. He’s exactly the kind of guide you want to trust — observant, experienced, calm, and always thinking one step ahead.
And if you’re not a very talkative traveler, Abu is still an excellent companion. He has an impressive collection of extremely dry and wonderfully terrible jokes, so he can keep the silence from getting too awkward. 😂
He’s also apparently quite good at sports… see attached photo for evidence. We would absolutely recommend him to anyone planning a safari.

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.

A smooth, well-planned safari with a flexible trip designer and a driver who knew his animals.
We had an outstanding safari experience with Safari Soles. From the very beginning, communication was smooth and easy. Venessa, who designed our trip, was flexible and happily accommodated all our requests, including a 3-day camping stay in the middle of the itinerary.
Our driver, James, was a great safari guide. He had a keen eye for spotting animals, drove with real respect for them, and planned our routes well ahead of time. He was always on time and kept us informed, and we felt well taken care of throughout the trip, though we sometimes found it difficult to get our questions across in English.
A small tip for future travelers: if you'd like to eat at local places rather than the more tourist-oriented ones, let your driver know in advance, as the default stops tend to lean toward western-style restaurants and prices.
Highly recommended to anyone looking for a safari that's well organized and personal.

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.
