Great provider. If you look nowhere else, you won't be disappointed
We had a custom 6-day safari with the great migration and an extension in Zanzibar organized by Renatus, curated by Jackson and guided by Ernest. Safari Soles is a great team, extremely responsive, prompt and reassuring.
Thanks to Ella McKendrick, we received estimates from a handful of companies, but Safari Soles always stood out by being the quickest to respond, the most flexible, the most transparent and the leading edge on value for money. Our decision process was laborious because we knew we would probably only get on go at a safari, but Safari Soles was always the most patient and helpful with us, and this carried through the entire safari.
Our guide was Ernest who we would ask for again if we went back, and who we highly recommend. We developed deep trust in Ernest's instincts, but also his manner. He was always patient with us, knowledgeable, prepared, punctual and extremely friendly. Ernest always kept us informed about what was going on and why we were going where we were going, and he never tired of our constant questions. It was a pleasure to share that time with him and we consider him a friend.
All our accommodations worked exactly as they were explained to us. We didn't have to worry about anything but showing up. All our questions during the trip were promptly answered by Jackson and the staff at the office, and everything was clear.

3 person private Safari Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Tarangire - Fantastic
7 days of amazing Safari. We got the chance to see the great migration, lions, leopards, cheetahs and so many other animals, more than we could dream of. Our amazing guide Simon was really an expert, he could sense where the animals were long before we could see them. You could really tell he knew where the different animals had their habitats and had patience to wait when (especially the leopards) were hiding.
We like our accommodations, both the tented camps and the bungalows. They were all well equipped and the personal was very helpful and friendly.
We would happily repeat the experience again.

Created a Wonderful Experience
We had a wonderful safari experience and everything went according to the itinerary. The places and animals were amazing. The staff at the resorts/camps were very friendly and wonderful, the food at every place was excellent as was the service. Our guide and driver Hussien is such a lovely person and was a pleasure to be with. He went out of his way to ensure we had a great experience, nothing was too much trouble for him. His knowledge of the animals was great and his driving skills were excellent. We were lucky to have him as our guide

Incredible Safari Experience
The organization of Safari Soles was good, the itinerary was perfectly planned and every single detail was taken care of. But what truly made this experience unforgettable was our incredible guide, Floridi.
Floridi was not only extremely knowledgeable about wildlife, nature, and local culture, but also genuinely passionate about sharing it all with us.
His sharp eyes constantly spotted animals we would have otherwise missed, from the Big Five to the smallest, most fascinating creatures.
Beyond his skills as a guide, Floridi was always attentive to our comfort and safety, making sure we had everything we needed and truly enjoying the journey alongside us. His warmth, patience and incredible sense of humor made every day an absolute joy! By the end of the safari, it felt like we were saying goodbye to a dear friend rather than just a guide.
If you are considering a safari in Tanzania, look no further than Safari Soles and if you are lucky enough to have Floridi as your guide, you are guaranteed a once-in-a-lifetime experience. I will be forever grateful for the memories we created.
Thank you, Safari Soles and especially thank you, Floridi, for giving us the adventure of a lifetime!

Unforgettable Safari with Efraem Solomon
Our safari through the Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater absolutely amazing, and a big part of that was thanks to our incredible guide, Efraem Solomon.
Efraem was everything you’d hope for in a guide — professional, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable. He had an amazing eye for spotting wildlife and made sure we had the best views while always respecting the animals and environment. Thanks to him, we saw the Big Five and so much more — lions, cheetahs, elephants, even a black rhino!
He also shared fascinating insights about animal behavior, local culture, and the ecosystems we were exploring. His passion was contagious and really enhanced the entire experience.
The trip was well organized, the vehicle was super comfortable, and the accommodations exceeded our expectations. If you’re planning a safari in Tanzania, I highly recommend Safari Soles — and if you can, ask for Efraem Solomon. He made this trip unforgettable.

Unforgettable Safari Experience
We had an unforgettable safari with Floridi as our guide. He made the entire experience fun, safe, and deeply enriching. His knowledge of the wildlife and the landscapes was truly impressive, and he always made sure we had the best possible views. Floridi spotted animals we would have never noticed ourselves and shared his passion through stories and explanations that brought the whole experience to life.
Floridi went above and beyond to make the trip special, and we couldn’t have asked for a better guide.
Thank you to Safari Soles for organizing such a memorable adventure, highly recommend!

An experience of a lifetime!
Incredible experience! The tour itself was very well organized. The accomodations were fantastic. Also the pricing seemed reasonable, and the team was able to provide a transparent quote.
The good:
- Our tour guide, Omary, was AWESOME! He was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, accommodative, and hard working. By the end of the trip, we truly felt we had become good friends. We will miss him and hope to see him again!
- The animals! We were lucky enough to see the Big 5, and so much more. It's such an incredible experience, and it also was great to see that the environment was being respected.
- The people! The staff Safari soles, at each location, the peoplein the country and especially the Maasai people.. everyone is so incredibly friendly. Not sure I've ever been to a country full of more friendly people. The staff at Safari Soles is also incredibly respectful, and easy to reach at any time. I wonder if they ever sleep! lol
- The accommodations; every single location we stayed at had its own "flare" and unique charm. Make sure you pack some hoodies though, the mornings can get cold on the mainland!
Overall, this made for a very special honeymoon and an experience we will never forget. We hope to come back!

Super
Hi Patrick and Lennox,
Sanyi and Min are here.
The trip we just had is unbelievable amazing. The things we saw, the service we got from our hotel personnel and the food prepared for us are met and even exceeded our initial expectation. We are so happy to have Mike, Isaack as our tour guides and drivers. They are so professional and very knowledgeable. In Kenya our car usually was the last vehicle drive on the road in the group. But Mike was very good at to find the best spot for us to observe the wild animals. Mike and Isaack are very patient to unswerving our questions and sometimes they even spelled the animals name to us. A big thank to Patrick. You arranged an extra city tour for us on the day we were leaving Arusha. Min and me don’t have a word to express our satisfaction for this trip. It is just super. If you have to ask an area can be improved I would say the condition of the hotel at third place we stayed in Kenya could be a little bit better. The food there are excellent, the cabin sleeping area are fine. The only thing can be better is the cabin shower area. It is a little bit wear and tear. Anyway, overall as whole trip we will give 10 out of 10 for its grade and we have no hesitation to recommend your company to our friends and our daughters if they plan go to Africa. Good luck to both of you.
Cheers,
Sanyi and Min

Unforgettable Safari Experience with Safari Soles – Highly Recommended!
We booked our safari with Safari Soles, and the whole planning process with Angel via WhatsApp was smooth and easy. She responded quickly to our requests and customized the trip according to our wishes.
On the first day, we did the “Foothills of Mount Kilimanjaro” tour, which included the Materuni Waterfall, a coffee plantation, and the Hot Springs. Our guide Balthasary was very kind and thoughtful – he even brought rubber boots and walking sticks for us, which were really necessary because of the muddy paths after the rain. The waterfall itself was beautiful, and the coffee tour was interesting with delicious food. However, the Hot Springs were very crowded and noisy during our visit, which made the experience less enjoyable. Overall, I would say this tour was just okay and could easily be skipped.
The real highlight started the next day when our guide Silas picked us up. Silas was simply the best guide we could have ever wished for. He took us through Tarangire National Park, the Northern and Central Serengeti, and finally the Ngorongoro Crater. Silas was incredibly knowledgeable – he could tell us details about every single animal, from the Big Five to the smallest birds, plants, and even cultural aspects of Tanzania and the Maasai people. He always made sure to stop for every sighting, not just the big animals, which made the experience so special. His passion and expertise turned our safari into an unforgettable adventure.
Overall, our trip to Tanzania was amazing and will always stay in our hearts. A huge thank you to Safari Soles, and especially to Silas, for making this such a memorable journey!

Safari of a lifetime with Safari Soles
We booked our safari with Safari Soles. From the start of our safari, Christian, our guide was terrific. His expertise and knowledge of the safari animals were very helpful. He not only made sure we saw a variety of safari animals, he also found all of the big 5, even the ever elusive rhino!! He explained about the trees and plants, about which ones the animals like to eat. He knows the Serengeti like it’s his own backyard.
We had some bellyache laughter, especially the ostrich on the road that ran away from us and when we saw a lion with his hunt while the hyena tried to help himself to some of it! I highly recommend our guide Christian at Safari Soles. He is kind and respectful. He made sure we had a memory of a lifetime!
