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,
Shami Pillai

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!

Amazing safari and excellent guide
We had an excellent 10 day safari, seeing all the Big 5 and two river crossings of the Great Migration! It included Tarangire National Park, Lake Managara, Central and Northern Serengeti as well as the Ngorongora Crater. We were very lucky to have Noel Chedy as our guide who was attentive, helpful and friendly during the whole trip, an excellent driver for long hours and very flexible to suit our needs. We recommend him and this tour to anyone looking for a great Safari!

Fantastic company, great guide knowledge, organisation and flexibility
We did a superb 10 day private safari across tarangire, manyara, north and central Serengeti and Ngororo crater, saying in a range of mid range and premium hotels and tented camps.
Our sales rep was a wonderful, responsive and knowledgeable lady called Happiness! She helped to create a fully tailored itinerary to suit our budget. We were also one of the few groups who had wine and beer included as part of our tour!
Our guide was the best around : Noel Chedy! He was ahead of most other guides in finding the wildlife - seeing the big 5 twice in 24 hours and 2 Mara river crossings in 24 hours! He was always organised, could answer any question we had and was able to do all of this whilst being flexible in the daily itinerary to suit our wishes. Superstar!
Would recommend Safari Soles to anyone.

Unforgettable Safari Experience with Dickson & Safari Soles!
We were in a group of 4 and the safari and the national parks are certainly breathtaking to see. The accommodation provided is also great and comfortable. I must also give credit to our tour guide Dickson, who is very professional and tried his best to accommodate our questions and requests, and made our trip so much more enjoyable. Everything was well organised and taken care of. We would definitely recommend to book with Safari Soles and Dickson.

Extremely trustworthy tour operator with Estomih as a stand out guide.
My wife and I joined Safari Soles this August for an eight-day luxury safari, and we had an outstanding experience. Everything was extremely well coordinated from beginning to end. For anyone comparing different outfitters for a Tanzania safari, I wanted to highlight a few aspects of our experience that particularly stood out.
Most importantly, our guide, Estomih, was exceptional. He guided us for the six days we spent on safari and was everything we could have hoped for in a guide. In addition to speaking fluent English, Estomih grew up in the Western Serengeti and has an extraordinary knowledge of the area. He seemed to know every game trail and could navigate effortlessly without relying on GPS. He was also an excellent driver, deftly handling some very rough roads and repeatedly positioning us for remarkable wildlife encounters—often getting us into better viewing positions than other vehicles nearby.
Just as impressive was Estomih’s knowledge of the wildlife, ecology, and history of the region. He could answer seemingly every question we threw at him and added a tremendous amount of context to everything we saw. Beyond all of that, he is simply a warm, friendly, and enjoyable person to spend six days with. Estomih is truly a first-rate guide, and I would recommend him without hesitation.
Our experience with Safari Soles as a company was equally positive. They were thorough, transparent, and dependable throughout the entire process. Everything was carefully planned and happened exactly as communicated. Our Land Cruiser was very well equipped, and the accommodations throughout the trip were excellent.
One experience in particular says a great deal about the company. After we had agreed upon our accommodations and total price and had already paid our deposit, Safari Soles contacted us to say that our agreed-upon budget was actually sufficient to upgrade several of our accommodations at no additional cost. They could easily have kept the difference, and we would never have known. Instead, they passed that value back to us. I thought this was an exceptionally generous gesture and, more importantly, a reflection of the kind of honest, customer-oriented business practices you can expect when working with Safari Soles.
That same flexibility was evident at the end of our trip. When our departing flights changed at the last minute, Safari Soles was more than happy to rearrange our itinerary on very short notice, and the resulting changes worked out perfectly.
We came away extremely impressed with both the company and our guide. I am very happy to give Safari Soles—and Estomih in particular—my highest and completely unqualified recommendation. If we were planning another safari in Tanzania, I would not hesitate to work with them again.

An incredible Safari experience with Safari Soles
We just completed a 10night/11day trip to Tanzania and Zanzibar. We spent our first day in Arusha and 6 days on Safari, ending up in Zanzibar for the last few days. We visited Tarangire National Park, the Central and Northern Serengeti and the Ngorongoro crater. Tanzania is an amazingly beautiful country and the Safari experience exceeded all my expectations.
Jackson Thomas was our sales coordinator and he was extremely prompt and professional as we planned the trip. Even when we arrived, he continued to be an important source of information to confirm pickup times and arrange/change airport shuttles. He made the entire planning process and visit seamless.
Christian was our Safari guide. He was fun to spend time with over the 6 days we spent with him, and we enjoyed his sense of humor. We was very very good at being aware of potential animal sightings that were being discussed over the radio and he got us to many exceptional animal encounters. He was also extremely good at positioning our Land Rover for the best opportunities for pictures and videos. He was very patient and allowed us as much time as we wanted at each wildlife encounters. He was very knowledgeable regarding the wildlife and the country of Tanzania and was very patient in answering our questions. He did not feel compelled to talk to us at all times, which we liked, but would provide pertinent information when appropriate. I would recommend Chris to anyone considers a tour with Safari Soles.
Overall, an incredible trip. The accommodations and planning were excellent and we were well taken are of. Safari Soles is an excellent Tour operator with great people!!
Incredible safari
What can I say, an unforgettable experience! The credit for all this, in addition to the beauty of nature, undoubtedly goes to our guide Elli. With him, we not only saw unique places, but also had unforgettable moments. Everything was perfect.
Grazie Ellie
