Amazing guide and great logistics
Our guide, Eli, was an incredible guide, he was knowledgeable, funny, and warm. He paid a lot of attention to detail, he went the extra mile with all of our requests, he made beautiful videos and took great photos. He also shared interesting cultural facts. And he knew where to go to see the best of all the parks. We saw countless cats, all big 5, and many other animals. He was very patient with us, and he taught us lots of Kiswahili. We couldn’t be happier with this experience.

Outstanding professional
I had been planning this family trip for about two months, wanting to give my children, aged 11 and 13, a different and unforgettable experience. After receiving many offers, I eventually decided to work with Safari Soles, mainly because of the prompt and excellent communication with Hawa Thomas, who organised our five-day trip down to the smallest detail, exactly according to what I had asked for. She followed everything I told her I wanted this adventure to include and created the best possible itinerary based on both our wishes and our budget.
Our journey then began with our guide, Elli. There are simply no words to describe everything we saw and experienced, but what I really want to highlight is that Elli made an enormous difference to the whole experience. I won’t even talk about the animals, the crossing, and all the incredible things you can see in Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro. Instead, I want to talk about Elli’s safe driving and the way he made even the most challenging roads feel completely manageable. My son, who generally gets carsick quite easily, never had a problem during the trip.
I also want to mention the way Elli patiently explained everything to the children and answered all their questions about the animals, the jokes and laughter we shared throughout the journey, and, of course, the dancing! He is an absolutely incredible person: kind, cheerful, positive, funny, and 100% professional.
My children are already waiting for him to come to Athens so they can be his guides this time!!!
Elli, you were so much more than we ever expected to find in a guide, and I truly hope that all your drivers are as wonderful as he is. Congratulations to the whole team!!!!

Perfect safari and guide
Our safari was an incredible experience that we would recommend to anyone. A lot of this was down to our amazing guide, Simon. His knowledge, experience and friendliness made the experience for us.

Perfect Honeymoon Safari with Jackson Masong
We just got back from our 3-day honeymoon safari with Safari Soles, and it was the trip of a lifetime. Flying in and out of Zanzibar made the travel so easy. We visited the Central Serengeti National Park and the Ngorongoro Crater, and every single day was perfect. The absolute best part of our trip was our tour guide, Jackson Masong. We cannot say enough good things about him! He did everything perfectly. Thanks to his great experience and sharp eyes, we saw all of the Big 5 (and all of them multiple times) and so many other amazing animals. He knows exactly where to look for wildlife and always got our jeep into the absolute best spot for photos. Jackson is also very funny, easy-going, and just a lot of fun to be around. Our camps were amazing. We stayed at the Serengeti Safari Haven and the Ngorongoro Tortilis Camp. Both places were beautiful and gave us the perfect romantic setting for our honeymoon. Every person we met along the way was so warm and kind. We will never forget this trip. We already told our friends and family to book with Safari Soles, and our biggest piece of advice is to make sure you ask for Jackson to be your guide! <3 <3 <3

Amazing honeymoon
We had an absolutely incredible experience with Athanas from Safari Soles planning our honeymoon in Tanzania. From the very beginning, the level of detail and attention they put into planning our trip really stood out.
Athanas took the time to understand what we wanted from our honeymoon and made sure the itinerary felt personal to us rather than like a standard safari package. Every detail was thoughtfully planned, and everything came together so smoothly.
What we appreciated most was how well taken care of we felt throughout the entire trip. Knowing that Safari Soles had everything organized and that someone was there to help if we needed anything allowed us to completely relax and enjoy the experience. That was especially important on our honeymoon, when the last thing we wanted to worry about was logistics.
The safari itself was unforgettable, and the combination of the incredible wildlife, beautiful accommodations, and experiences they arranged made it a trip we'll remember for the rest of our lives. Our driver Lucas was amazing and we appreciated having a private tour instead of being with a group.
We couldn't have asked for a better company to help plan such an important and special trip.

AN UNFORGETTABLE SAFARI WITH SAFARI SOLES
An unforgettable Migration Safari with Safari Soles - that's what it was in a single line
We just returned from an August migration safari with Safari Soles across the Masai Mara and Serengeti, and it was hands-down one of the best trips of our lives. Every part of it from the guides, to the camps, to the sightings came together perfectly.
The guides were the heart of this trip. In the Masai Mara, Elias was outstanding, sharp instincts for tracking, deep knowledge of the ecosystem, and an ability to read the land that led us straight to incredible Big 5 sightings and a front-row seat to one of the best sunset in Masai Mara. In the Serengeti, Eliis carried 100X energy and expertise, and somehow managed to find us not one, not two, but three leopard sightings, something even seasoned safari-goers say is a rare feat given how elusive leopards usually are. He was also super driven and enthusiast giving us a front-row seat to a lioness hunting wildebeest and the great migration. Both guides were patient, personable, and clearly passionate about what they do, which made every game drive feel special.
The camps were excellent throughout. In the Masai Mara, we stayed at Enkakenya Camp, which was comfortable and beautifully located. In the Serengeti, we moved between Mbuni, Sero, Kiriche, and Angata Ngongotogoro camps where each one offered something a little different, but all were well-run, comfortable, and had attentive, friendly staff who made us feel completely taken care of after long days out in the bush.
Safari Soles handled every logistical detail, transfers between camps, timing around the migration, park permits flawlessly, letting us just focus on soaking it all in.
If you're planning a Masai Mara or Serengeti safari, especially during migration season, I can't recommend Safari Soles enough and oh! ask for Elias and Eliis if you can. This was a trip we'll never forget

A Safari of a Lifetime
A Safari of a Lifetime
Our heartfelt appreciation to Safari Soles for planning and executing an extraordinary safari that has left us with unforgettable memories.
Our incredible journey took us through the Maasai Mara, Northern Serengeti, Central Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Tarangire, culminating in a memorable visit to a coffee farm in the foothills of Mount Kilimanjaro.
Our guide and driver, Hussein, was truly exceptional. His deep knowledge of and genuine passion for animals and birds brought every encounter to life. His remarkable ability to spot wildlife and position us at excellent vantage points allowed us to fully absorb and appreciate each sighting.
Hussein worked tirelessly, taking us on game drives from early morning until sunset. His dedication and passion for showing his guests everything possible during each drive were truly remarkable.
Thanks to his experience and determination, we were fortunate to see all the big cats, witness the spectacular wildebeest crossing of the Mara River and even encounter the elusive rhinoceros. These were extraordinary moments that we will cherish forever.
A special call-out must go to Janeth at Safari Soles, who helped us plan the entire safari, select excellent camps and arrange our short internal flight. Despite the many rounds of discussion and changes during the planning process, she remained patient, responsive and determined to create the best possible itinerary for us. Her dedication and attention to detail were greatly appreciated.
Innocent was also excellent during our drive to the coffee farm in the foothills of Mount Kilimanjaro. He worked incredibly hard to explain every detail and made the entire experience both interesting and memorable. His enthusiasm, knowledge and dedication were greatly appreciated.
Every stage of the safari was thoughtfully planned and seamlessly organised, allowing us to experience the magnificent landscapes, remarkable wildlife and natural beauty of Kenya and Tanzania.
Thank you, Safari Soles—and especially Hussein, Janeth and Innocent—for creating such a memorable adventure. It was truly the safari of a lifetime and an experience we will always treasure.
Warm regards,

Incredible experience
We had an incredible, once in a lifetime trip with Safari Soles! From start to finish we felt well taken care of. We reached out to a bunch of tour operators but went with Safari Soles because of the positive reviews, price, and how helpful and responsive our sales consultant Theresia was in customizing our perfect itinerary. We ended up with a 10 day itinerary with 8 days on Safari and flying from northern Serengeti to Zanzibar. Our guide Elias was the best guide we could’ve asked for! He was super friendly, knowledgeable, and knew the best viewing spots for all of the animals while keeping a distance and being respectful. He even took me to the local hospital when I got sick. We saw all of the animals we wanted to see and so many more. We trusted Elias fully because he was so experienced. Highly recommend this company and especially Elias!
