Summitted Kilimanjaro via Marangu and Excellent Safari in 4 Days
We have had an incredibly memorable experience on this tour with Sote Tours and Travel. Our trip included a six-day climb along the Marangu route up Mount Kilimanjaro, as well as four days of safari visiting Tarangire, Ngorongoro, and Serengeti National Parks.
The only way we were able to reach the summit of Mt. Kilimanjaro was because of the support we received from the whole team. I would like to send out a special thanks to our main guide, Sebastian, and our assistant guide Michael, for all of their help and support during our climb - the summit push was much more difficult than I thought it would be; with their help and encouragement we were able to make it successfully. The crew treated us like we were family and we are very grateful for all they did for us. The last day of our trip and safari ended on a very high note! I strongly encourage anyone looking to go on an adventure in Tanzania to use Sote Tours and Travel to help you.

Luxury, Wildlife, and Wonder in Tanzania
We were four friends went safari this time with Sote Tours and Travel company we decided to book our trip through a local agency. I would rate this safari company one of the best in Moshi. Kelvin who served as our tour coordinator helped us with choosing accommodations and gave us guidance about suitable national parks to visit for 10 day. The price offered us was affordable compared with other agencies.
We express our gratitude for arranging Mr. Shirima to return as our guide. It was such a pleasure to be with him and all the considerable knowledge he brought to our safari tour. The experience felt similar to spending time with someone who has been my friend for a long time.
It was a very fortunate experience; we were able to observe several remarkable things in nature, including the 'Big Five' animals, specifically a leopard. With the professional skill and dedication of our guide, we also had an opportunity to view a rhino as well. Additionally, having our bush lunch on the Serengeti was a once-in-a-lifetime event. One of the best experiences is that we did hot air balloon rides what an incredible service! The ride was very well orchestrated; the views were breathtaking and the breakfast in the bush was phenomenal.
Sote Tours and Travel provides customized safari packages which I recommend for people who plan to go on safaris. You should request Shirima as your guide because he possesses extensive knowledge about animals and plants and their natural environments. We want to express our gratitude to you for creating special memories during our vacation.

A more than five star experience
The safari experience which we had planned for our visit turned out to be an actual dream which we both wanted to achieve. From the very first moment all aspects of the event exceeded my initial expectations. Our group experienced extreme luck when we observed all five Big Five animals and we found the Great Migration experience to be completely overwhelming. The sight of thousands of animals moving together through the vast open terrain will remain in my memory throughout my entire life. The trip reached its highest point because everything functioned according to its correct schedule. The team executed their plan with complete attention to every single aspect which resulted in perfect operations that enabled us to experience all moments without disturbance.
The lodges and tented camps provided excellent design elements which created optimal comfort in their stunning natural surroundings. The experience provided a perfect balance between exploration and sophisticated dining. Reuben our driver and guide who provided us with excellent service deserves my deepest gratitude. He displayed exceptional knowledge about the subject matter while treating people with utmost kindness and maintaining his patient demeanor. His dedication to wildlife conservation work brought about a major improvement in our overall experience. He used his wildlife expertise to locate optimal viewing spots while providing us with fascinating facts about the different animal and natural elements present in our surroundings. The safari experience which this trip provided became an exceptional experience which I recommend to all people who want to go on safari adventures.

Very Professional, Caring, and Reliable Tour Operator
The three week expedition through Tanzania went smoothly because Sote Tours and Travel handled all details with their precise operations. The three activities of wildlife tracking and Mount Kilimanjaro climbing and Zanzibar relaxation advanced seamlessly because their scheduling created perfect timing between activities. Kelvin remained accessible to us because he responded quickly to our requests while he made necessary adjustments and kept us informed about his work status. The arrangement of our transportation and entry permits and accommodation details matched the initial commitments which demonstrated effective operational work behind the scenes.
The entire experience of traveling through Serval Wildlife, Lake Eyasi, Tarangire National Park Serengeti National Park and Ngorongoro Conservation Area remained with us after we departed from these locations. The animals surprised us because they approached us directly while showing us their different species. Michael created a different atmosphere because he used his natural knowledge together with his animal tracking abilities and his dedication to our requirements to enhance all things. We achieved restful sleep at Kibo Palace Hotel and Bougainvillea Safari Lodge because both hotels created a friendly atmosphere which included multiple comfortable features. Pure Tented Camps created an authentic wild experience at their Serengeti location while maintaining a sophisticated atmosphere.
Climbing Mount Kilimanjaro presented us with a tough challenge which we found to be highly rewarding because Seba and his team provided us with excellent support. The break in Zanzibar provided us with a pleasant escape because the beaches and scenic views created breathtaking natural beauty, but street and beach harassment reduced our enjoyment of the location. The Sote Tours and Travel company provided us with an exceptional Tanzanian experience which exceeded all our vacation expectations.

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.

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.

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.
