Once a Safari Lover, Always a Safari Lover 🦓
Choosing a reliable safari operator is the single most important part of any trip to Africa—and choosing this one was absolutely the best decision we made for our entire journey.
Our guide, Dickson, is patient, professional, attentive, and always eager to help. At the start, he asked about our favorite animals and what we hoped to see, and he made sure to remember every single one of our requests. Since I love giraffes and we were desperate to spot the Big Five, he made it his mission to make both happen for us.
Dickson is like a walking, talking African encyclopedia. There isn’t an animal he doesn’t know, and he always takes the time to explain their behaviors and habits to us. He drove us all over the reserve in search of new sightings, and thanks to his expertise, we witnessed so many rare, unforgettable moments: a pride of lionesses fighting over a wildebeest kill, a leopard feasting on its prey, an impala mother eating her placenta right after giving birth, the massive wildebeest migration, spotted hyenas cooling off in a puddle, and warthogs rubbing themselves against tree stumps. It felt like we’d stepped into a whole other world.
As two female travelers, we also felt incredibly safe and well taken care of with Dickson. He always found the best light and angles to take photos of us, apologized every time the road got bumpy, and even laid out our tablecloth, set our utensils, and made us coffee at every meal. He also gave us the best advice: head out early in the morning when the animals are most active and the weather is cooler, then head back to camp to rest at midday before heading out again in the afternoon when the heat dies down.
When there wasn’t much wildlife around, he taught us simple Swahili phrases and told us jokes to keep the mood light. His driving skills are also top-notch—we always felt completely safe in his hands, no matter the terrain. He navigated muddy patches with ease and was always respectful, giving way to both wildlife and other vehicles on the road.
Dickson’s care and expertise truly made our trip worry-free and unforgettable. This safari will go down as one of the most special experiences of our lives. They say you only do safari once or never stop coming back—and we’re already ready to come back.

Exceded our expectations
We recently completed our 10-day tour with Safari Soles. I’m not one who normally does reviews because my expectations of customer service and care are rarely met. I am please to say that with Safari Soles they were exceeded. From the beginning Joachim Mushi, our sales consultant, was extremely helpful as we worked through the details of putting together our itinerary. He was always responsive whether on the phone or through e mail. All the Safari Soles staff we encountered were friendly, helpful and determined to see that we enjoyed ourselves. The camps we stayed at were neat, clean, good food and filled with great folks. Our Guide however rose above all others. Silas Mathayo was the crown jewel in our trip. Friendly, extremely knowledgeable about the Country, the parks and of course the animals. His personality and sense of humor added to his knowledge made him an absolute joy to spend eight days with. By the end we felt like family and hated to part company with him. This was our first safari and thus our first guide so I can’t really make a comparison, however I would be hard pressed to see how anyone could be better that Silas. Thank you Silas, Joachim and the entire Safari Soles family. I whole heartly recommend them to anyone considering a safari. Eddie and Lou Ann

An unforgettable experience!
We just returned from our safari, and it was absolutely perfect from start to finish. Big thanks to the whole company for an incredible trip.
A special thanks to Happiness, our contact person, who did an amazing job. She was so nice, professional, and gave us the best service throughout the entire process.
And of course, to Mandella, our champion guide! We connected with him instantly. He is the best guide we could have ever asked for. He knows everything about the wildlife, truly loves his job, and does everything with a huge smile and great energy. We were so lucky to have him with us.
Highly recommended company and the best team! 5 stars! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Amazing Safari experience
An absolute stunning life experience Everything was perfectly organised, from the incredibly comfortable lodges to the delicious food. A massive shout out to our guide, Dickson, with eagle eyes spotted animals we would have completely missed, and his deep knowledge of the bush made every single game drive educational and thrilling. Highly recommend this exact circuit for anyone looking to experience the magic of Tanzania.
Arusha: a special thanks to Eric from whom we learn about the local culture before heading into the bush with Dickson
Tarangire National Park:
Kicked off our safaris with towering baobab trees and breathtaking numbers of elephants. Watching the giraffes up close was magical and Maasai village visit offered a deeply memorable window into traditional pastoralist culture and community life before, heading out into the wilderness again.
The Serengeti:
Pure magic. The sheer scale of the endless plains is mind-blowing. We witnessed the Lions, leopards, elephants, hippos, crocodiles, hyenas and more and got so close to the wildlife it felt like we could touch them.
Ngorongoro Crater: Descending into the crater was like entering a lost world. The landscape is stunning, and the density of animals is unlike anywhere else on earth.
Our safari reconnected us with raw nature and left us with an unforgettable awe for the wild.

Amazing Safari Experience with an Excellent Guide
We Spent 8 days in Tanzania from May 1 to May 8. We had an amazing safari experience with Safari Soles! Everything was very well organized from beginning to end, and the whole trip went smoothly.
Our guide, Isaack, was incredibly reliable, experienced, and knowledgeable. He worked very hard to help us spot so many animals, and thanks to him we had some truly unforgettable wildlife sightings. We always felt safe and well taken care of during the trip.
We are very happy with our experience and would highly recommend Safari Soles and Isaack to anyone planning a safari in Tanzania!

I would highly recommend this company to anyone!

Unforgettable Lifetime Memories
I had an incredible 3-day, 2-night safari in Serengeti and Ngorongoro with our guide, Dickson. To put it simply, it was the experience of a lifetime!
Dickson’s knowledge of wildlife is truly impressive. He found so many animals we would have easily missed. Beyond his spotting skills, he was a very safe driver, and the safari car was comfortable, making the long drives feel like a breeze.
Thank you so much for an unforgettable journey, Dickson! I will definitely be back!

Most magical experience
This was my second time using Safari Soles Tours, and once again the entire experience was seamless from start to finish. The service was amazing, great value for money and the best investment you will make for yourself. These guys are wonderful
Booking and organizing the trip was straightforward and stress-free, with excellent communication throughout, and Jamal who answered all queries quickly and efficiently. Every detail was handled professionally, including well-arranged flight pickups and a fantastic stay at the beautiful Farm of Dreams Lodge near the Ngorongoro Crater.
The safari itself was unforgettable. We traveled from Tarangire National Park to the Ngorongoro Crater, each location offering something unique and breathtaking. What truly made the experience stand out, however, was our guide Chaddy. He was so wise, friendly, kind, and incredibly knowledgeable. Beyond that, he had an intuitive understanding of nature that made each wildlife encounter feel special and almost serendipitous. We saw incredible animals up close in a way that felt both respectful and awe-inspiring.
There’s something about being immersed in nature like this that’s hard to fully describe, but it left a lasting impression on me. I completely fell in love with the experience. I would absolutely recommend Safari Soles Tours to anyone and would return again in a heartbeat.
Thank you for such a wonderful time
We loved it so much ❤️ thank you 🙏

Great service
Thanks to Safari Soles and its team for arranging our safari trip. Athanas at customers service helped us a lot when we had to postpone our trip to Tanzania due to flights cancellations, rebooked our local flights at no charge and was in contact and ready to provide any assistance we needed.
When we arrived to Arusha the tour guide Abrazach was already waiting for us and took care of our family for the whole 2 days of our trip.

True professional guide and driver
The weather was terrible. Raining every day. One day we were stuck for three hours by the flood. Another day we escaped the heavy storm in the last moment. What can you see in such weather? Let see our photos.

the pair of ostriches who are in love despite of rain

three impalas hidden in a dark forest perfectly illuminated by a ray of sunlight
a hippo opening his jaws 180 degrees and presenting his set of teeth
perfect close portrait of a lioness
an old lion roaring towards the sun
a leopard escaping elephant

… and two hundred more.
How it is possible? I think there are two reasons. First Boniface is a true professional. Second he loves animals as we do.
Thank You, Boniface, Thank You very much.
