Very humble but experienced and lucky
Christian was very knowledgeable and helped us find every animal we were looking for. We had a close up view of the big 5 and we were also positioned perfectly in order to see the entire wildebeest river crossing from start to finish.

Quick and attentive to wants and priorities!
Our Safari Beach Vacation with Safari Soles was amazing and truly a trip of a lifetime due to our guide Ally Kimea! He went out of his way to ensure we saw everything we wanted and took time to educate us on animals and customs we have never seen/heard before. His knowledge and expertise is beyond the standard for tour guides. We got to see 4 out of the Big 5 and every extra animal on our list due to him. We even got to get up close with both lions and elephants. We were sad to move on to the beach and leave our expert guide but if possible would request him again and again! Thank you for the best safari trip Ally (kaka)!

Once in a lifetime!
Our safari with Safari Soles Tours was exceptional. From the start, Furahini was quick to answer every question and crafted a perfect itinerary. The highlight of our trip was our guide, Cornel. He truly deserves 10 stars. As first time visitors to Tanzania, we could not have asked for a better guide. He is knowledgeable about the wildlife, people, and cultures, while also being patient, friendly, and genuinely caring. A true “human GPS” of the Serengeti, Cornel made every moment memorable. We loved our experience and will request him again for future adventures in Tanzania.

Efficient, Responsible and Friendly!
The great migration safari has been a remarkable experience.
Our contact person, Irine was very efficient. She responded to our questions quickly and tailor made the plan for us that suited our budget. She ensured that all our accommodations were well arranged in advance.
Shout out to our guide Abdul, who is professional, knowledgable and friendly. He shared a lot of knowledge about different animals with us in details and introduced their habitats. When he saw some different animals that we have never seen before, he would stop and introduce. We truly learned a lot from him.
It’s lucky that we were able to see the river crossing and all the big cats and many other animals.
Abdul is also detailed minded that he had all the meal plans arranged in advance. He also asked about our food preference and discussed with the accommodation staff who’s responsible for the meals.
Our safari was overall a smooth and memorable one. Thank you Safari Soles!

Cornel was an expert and engaging guide whose enthusiasm and insight made our safari an unforgettabl
Our safari with Safari Soles was unforgettable, thanks to our guide, Cornel. He didn’t just point out the animals—he explained their behaviors and interactions in a way that made every sighting come alive, and watching the wildlife through his eyes gave us a whole new appreciation for nature. What made the trip even more special was that between game drives, he also shared stories about the local people and culture, adding such a meaningful layer to the trip beyond the safari itself. Cornel’s knowledge, warmth, and passion made the entire experience personal, memorable, and truly one of a kind. By the end, it felt less like we had a guide and more like we were traveling with a friend who truly loves what he does. We cannot recommend Safari Soles—and especially Cornel—highly enough.

Sensational, great people, great experience.
From the very beginning of planning Happiness at Safari Soles, was super comunicative, polite and was able to answer all of our thousands of questions. She put together a safari with exactly what we wanted to do and see and within our budget. We even had a change of the number of friends coming along and even that did not cause a problem. She just adjusted things and we recieved a new estimate that very day.
In regards to the guide, Junior was in our opinion SUPER. He was very aware of our interests and was extreamly eager to ensure we were able to do and see all that we had in mind. He was personable and informative, flexible and patient with us. We will be keeping in touch as we feel like we made a new friend in Junior.
As far as lodging goes. Even though in the estimate they sent us, there were photos of the lodging, it doesn't come close to reality. The reality is way better! We felt as if we were in luxury accomodations, but paying a mid range price. The food was absolutely amazing, no matter where we stayed. Even the picknics were not of the boxed kind (as I saw other companies provide), they were freshly cooked and portions enough to fill us and more. There is nothing like spreading the table cloth over the hood of the Range Rover and pulling out a full meal with wine and beer and eating under an acacia tree! Really memorable. In one of the tented camps we stayed at, our hardest decision was to either shower in the open air shower or to take a bath in the room with views overlooking the valley. Absolutely incredible.
At night, the tented camps are watched over by the Massai. Other companies, might employ different people but I found it great that they employed local people.

Very helpful and knowledgeable
Amazing experience. We got to see a lot of animals. Our guide Joseph was the best. He's is very knowledgeable about all the different animals in the park and made sure we saw all of them from close. He knew all the best spots for animal watching and knows Serengeti by heart. Highly recommend him for the best safari experience.

Unforgettable Safari
Our trip was wonderful. Everything was organised down to the last detail. We saw amazing places and 4 out of 5 big 5 as well as dozens of other fantastic animals such as hyenas, jackals, wildebeests, hyppo, zebras and many more!!! The lodges were always comfortable and cosy (in some cases we would say luxurious), the staff friendly and helpful. The food has always been very good and satisfying, both at lunches in the parks (with fabulous views) and in the lodges at dinner and breakfast. And finally, how can we not highlight the skills of Mohamed who was an exceptional guide, always punctual and well organised, invaluable in sharing his profound knowledge of nature with us!

A great success with Safari Soles
A family with two boys, ages 12 and 15, went to Tanzania and Zanzibar. Safari Soles helped me plan my trip, designing the itinerary based on what I'd read online. We arrived in Arusha, spent a day at the Materuni Falls, coffee plantations, and Kikuletwa hot springs, then Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro, the Lake Eyasi tribes (Hadzabe and Datoga), and a day at Mto Wambo (I loved it!). In total, 9 wonderful days in a private jeep.
Our driver, Aziz, could have participated in the Paris-Dakar without a problem—it was wonderful. And our guide, Kabila, was fantastic, since I requested one in Spanish. Thanks to both of them!
After that, we went to Zanzibar, and although I booked hotels independently, I ended up booking several more activities with this agency.
Furahini, my contact at the agency for everything, was infinitely patient and kind. Thank you!
I recommend this agency 100%, really.
