Incredible and Unforgettable Safari Experience!
Our 14 day trip with Sote Tours and Travel was truly amazing. We were six friends who traveled together and from day one, everything was done in a very professional and smooth way.
We kicked off our vacation in Zanzibar, where we had a chilled, out beach holiday. The island is a pretty heaven, but what made it even more worthwhile was how well everything was organized for us. We dropped by Prison Island, spent some time at the gorgeous sandbank of Nakupenda Beach, and dived into the local culture through the spice tour. A trip to see dolphins around Mnemba Island was one of the beautiful moments of our holiday. We also stopped by Mnarani Marine Turtles Conservation Pond, where we got to know turtle conservation initiatives. Each tour was perfectly timed, well, organized, and without the hassle.
The places to stay picked out by Sote Tours were of great standard and very suitable for our group. Said, our Zanzibar guide, was very knowledgeable, nice, and made every trip fun.
After our beach escape, Sote Tours took care of our internal flight to Arusha and there were no hiccups. At the airport, the team greeted us warmly and we were driven straight to Tarangire National Park to start our six, day safari expedition.
We went on a safari that took us to Ngorongoro Crater as well as the very famous Serengeti National Park. The time we spent among the animals in the wild was so great that it surpassed the limits of our imagination a huge number of animals of all kinds were there, and with a bit of luck, we saw all the Big Five. Reuben, our safariguide, was just marvelous: he was an experienced, calm, and very good hunter of wild animals. His knowledge about the nature reserves and the animals has brought in so much extra value to our experience.
Through the whole process, Sote Tours and Travel showed a very high standard of professionalism, good communication, and meticulous attention to detail. The six of us travelling together was at times tricky, but we were so well looked after that we could completely forget about any concerns and just enjoy our holiday.
Sote Tours and Travel, especially their guides Said (Zanzibar) and Reuben (safari), are highly recommended by us to anyone who is thinking of going to Tanzania. It was really a trip that you only get once in a lifetime.

Unforgettable journey with fine scenery, experienced guide
Our travel company Sote Tours and Travel provided us with our most important trip after my wife and I discovered their services through online searching and received prompt email answers from them despite the different time zones.
We saw everything we could have wanted to see which included lions elephants leopards rhinos giraffes and various other animals because Reuben used his exceptional vision and extensive knowledge of animal behavior to find them. He displayed patience and thoughtfulness while ensuring our safety and comfort throughout the entire experience.
We appreciate your assistance but we especially want to express our gratitude to Mr. Reuben who served as our guide. This experience will remain in my memory forever. The vacation and safari experience you provided us with was absolutely amazing.

Great service, great company and guide
Our trip to Tanzania with Sote Tours and Travel was really great. Sote Tours and Travel is a good company that takes care of everything. They got back to us away whenever we had a question, which made our whole trip to Tanzania with Sote Tours and Travel very easy and relaxing from the beginning to the end. We had a time on our Tanzania trip, with Sote Tours and Travel.
Our guide, Michael " The Champion” was really great. He is a funny guy and he made us laugh a lot during the trip. This made every day happy and fun. We traveled far but we never felt tired. Michael was very thoughtful. He never bothered us when we were resting. He always made sure that we were comfortable.
I have to say Michael was really good at guiding us. He kept an eye out for animals. Took us to see them right away. We got to see lions, leopards, cheetahs and even their cubs because of him. Michael had a sense of direction so he never got us lost. He always found the way to get us close, to the big cats.
I highly recommend Sote Tours and Travel to anyone planning a safari in Tanzania. An unforgettable experience from a company and guide you can truly rely on.

The Safari of Our Dreams – Perfect in Every Way
We had a wonderful time with Sote Tours who arranged our entire trip in a very professional and dependable manner. There was great communication with them from the beginning and they took care of all the logistics that we could fully relax and have fun. We also liked their tips and support whenever we needed it.
It was an interesting and cultural introduction to our trip when we did a guided walk to a waterfall and experienced the process of making coffee in a local way prior to our safari. What a nice way to start our adventure in Tanzania.
Our safari was a seven, day adventure through Tarangire National Park, Serengeti National Park, and Ngorongoro Crater, each presenting magnificent wildlife and scenery. With our amazing guide Reuben, we had the luck to see all of the Big Five as well as cheetahs, lions, and a leopard. Reubens knowledge, his driving skills, and his keen eye for spotting animals contributed greatly to our safari and our adventures were more thrilling.
We were very satisfied with the choice of accommodations made by Sote Tours as they were very comfortable and everything worked out perfectly during the whole trip. We went to Zanzibar after the safari, which was just as well planned and a wonderful.

Our safari experience far exceeded our expectations, and we will have no hesitation to recommend Sote Tours to anyone and to book another safari with them in the future.

Sote Tours and Travel is a local company that goes above and beyond!
We had such an amazing time. Everything was very well planned, even the transfer at the beginning and the departure after the tour. Reuben was very thoughtful and made sure he could always meet our orders. We were fortunate to spot many giraffes, elephants, lions and a lot of other animals, a beautiful experience that I strongly advise everyone to try visiting Ngorongoro, Tarangire and Serengeti.
We were also accompanied by another guide, Said, with whom we got a chance to do some extra excursions in Zanzibar. He was always very helpful, efficient, and kind, and we felt completely at ease with him. It is an experience we would confidently recommend and happily repeat.
Besides that, we had dinner with Kelvin, the head of the company, who gave us the chance to find out more about the local area, how the safaris are organized, and their general philosophy in short, we recommend this company without any doubt.

I strongly recommend Sote Tours and Travel as your safari booking agent.

Top recommendation for a highly professional, local travel agency
We are just back from an amazing trip (24 December 2025 to 02 January 2026). We made a tailor, made trip to Tanzania with Sote Tours and Travel. When we first spoke to Kelvin, we were sure we had made the right decision. Kelvin really helped us decide on the right places to go.
The choice of safari lodges was superb and at each place we felt very comfortable. Our guide "Godee" is the one, whom we want to especially mention, who at his young age is probably already a "veteran" of the guides. On many occasions he went off the beaten track and then led us to perfect game, viewing spots all by himself. Moreover, he was a very careful driver and we always felt totally safe with him in the SUV. We never thought we could look at the animals from such a short distance!
In general, it was a memory world trip and we thank the whole Sote Tours team for being part of our journey! Asante sana Sote Tours team.

Brilliant Kilimanjaro and Safari adventure with Sote Tours
I really wanted to say good things about Sote Tours, but it just wasn't enough! They were great to work with! Before our trip, the communication and the flexibility were perfect. They had great prep materials to complete the trek successfully. When we arrived, everything was planned to the smallest detail and on time. They were really nice people, and through both the Kilimanjaro trekking and safari, they gave us a world class experience. We found that the value for the price was very good, the food and accommodations were fantastic! I am sure that I will be going back, and I will definitely be using the Sote Tours team for my next adventures in Tanzania!
