The best way to describe our safari trip with Chris is with one word. Magical
Dealing with Safari Soles & Okon was easy & a wonderful experience. I cannot recommend them & Chris enough, everything was super easy & everything was taken care of for us. They booked all our flights & accommodation & made our trip amazing. Ask for Chris when booking, he’ll take great care of you. We’ll be back again - thanks for a magical experience Chris & Okon 🐘🦁🦒

Fantastic experience!
With guide Richard Innocenti by your side nothing can go wrong on this beautiful adventure. We were very lucky to be able to see a line of lions stroll by. Unforgettable!

Very happy with services provided by Safary Soles
We just returned from an unforgettable safari with Safari Soles, and we couldn’t be happier with our choice of tour operator! Before the trip, we worked with Renatta Paul to design our itinerary and communicated with Catherine for on-the-ground support while we were traveling. Both were incredibly responsive via WhatsApp and went above and beyond to accommodate all our requests. Huge thanks to Renatta and Catherine for their care and professionalism!
If you're wondering about the legitimacy of Safari Soles—rest assured, they are 100% reliable and trustworthy. As this was our first safari, it's hard to gauge if our pricing was high, but we know there are pricier options out there. Meals and drinks were included and suited our tastes well, and the accommodations exceeded expectations—clean, comfortable, and beautifully located.
Our guides were knowledgeable and ensured we got the most out of our safari experience. While we didn’t catch a glimpse of the elusive leopard or rhino, we still saw a spectacular range of wildlife, including several of the Big Five. For extras like hot air balloon rides or visiting a Maasai village, it’s a good idea to let your guide know ahead of time so they can plan accordingly.
We’re already missing Tanzania and highly recommend Safari Soles to anyone planning a trip to this incredible part of the world.

Very well organized.
These guys did a great job organizing everything and were extremely knowledgeable. You will be amazed how keen their eye sight is whilst we are touring the wildness. They can spot animals before you can see them. Full marks and kudos to the team.

Great 6 day safari
We had an amazing 6-day Safari with Safari Soles and Ernest as our guide. Happiness George helped coordinate the trip and was super responsive, happy to customize the trip for us, and even helped with last minute changes over a holiday weekend after we had a flight issue.
Ernest was the best guide and really made the trip amazing!! He is very knowledgeable (taught us about Tanzanian and Maasai culture, words in Swahili, and about many animals and birds), and had eagle eyes for animal spotting - we saw the big 5, ugly 5, cute 5 and more! Ernest was well-connected with other guides and we appreciated his communication with other vehicles to make sure we saw all the highlights (including multiple leopards and rhinos)! We were impressed by Ernest’s professionalism and his genuine and warm demeanor- we felt like we left with a new friend.
Finally the hot lunches, drinks, outlets in the jeep, and binoculars were nice touches. Thank you Safari Soles, Ernest, and Happiness for a great trip!! We highly recommend Safari Soles and Ernest for anyone looking for a special trip.

Safari Soles is the best tour operator + Innocent is the best guide!
My friend and I chose Safari Soles as our tour operator based on online reviews - and we are so glad that we did. From the moment we arrived everything was lovely. Our transfer driver, Eric, was so friendly, even though we had a 3am pickup. Our first lodge, Arusha Farm House, welcomed us warmly even though it was 4am.
Our safari guide, Innocent, was amazing beyond words. He ensured that our safari experience was everything we could’ve ever dreamed of and more. He knew so much about the animals and helped us spot the most amazing things on safari, including three cheetahs eating a gazelle (and about 5 more cheetahs on other days…) three leopards, 25 lions, and even woke up at 5am on our last morning to ensure we saw a rhino in the crater (we saw two!). Beyond the safari experience itself, Innocent took it up on himself to ensure we were always comfortable and taken care of at our lodges. When he dropped us off on the last day we truly felt that we were leaving a friend behind! We can’t say enough good things about this guide and would 100% recommend that anyone booking with Safari Soles request him for your trip.
We also had a great experience with Renata, who helped us plan our safari from start to finish. Her responses are so prompt and she’s always happy to help! Safari Soles has a good relationship with many amazing lodges and camps. We were especially smitten with Farm of Dreams Lodge and Safari Haven. We also stayed at Ang’ata Ngorongoro Camp on my birthday and the staff filled with restaurant with song & dance to celebrate and brought out a cake! Everyone we experienced on our trip was amazing and we’re so grateful that we chose Safari Soles!

Exceptional Service and Unforgettable Safari Experience!
From day one, the attention and service provided by the agency were excellent. I want to especially highlight Catherine, the person I was in contact with from the beginning. She was always very attentive, kind, and professional, and she organized everything impeccably, adapting to my needs and answering any questions I had.
I also want to mention Junior, our guide during the safari. He was fantastic. He is very experienced, friendly, and was always attentive to our comfort and safety. In addition, he speaks perfect Spanish, which made communication very easy and the experience even more comfortable and personal. He truly made the trip even more special.
I have absolutely nothing negative to say: everything was perfect. I 100% recommend this agency!

The sole of Safari Soles is it's Staff. Who go beyond to make your trip memorable.
Beautiful country, Amazing people!! Asante!
The three national parks were a wildlife paradise. Each set in a different landscape setting. From the moment we landed in Arusha, our Tanzanian safari was nothing short of magical experience. We booked a 5 day package covering Tarangire National Park, the iconic Serengeti, and the breathtaking Ngorongoro Crater, and every single day offered something unforgettable.
Angel from Safari soles worked really hard to create a personally curated itinerary. We had lot of conversations back and forth to fit as much things into our package. Discussing possible options for stays to our comfort and budget. The recommendations were spot on.
The lodges and tented camps we stayed at were comfortable, clean, and made us feel at home, with warm Tanzanian hospitality and delicious food.
Last but not least the safari experience comes down to the guide. Our guide Hussein who happens to be also a photographer made every bit possible to make sure we see as much wildlife, even the difficult ones like Rhino and cheetahs. He would stop the safari jeep at right angles to capture some great shots.
The transfer guide Chief. Who picked and drop from airport was so kind and friendly. He waited a long time for our immigration delays, and tried to help us.
Suggest planning more days for Serengeti. As the park is huge.

The Big Five Were a Big Hit!
If you get a chance, do yourself a favor and work with Erick Gunda as your guide. His insight, depth of knowledge, patience and good nature know no bounds. His eye for the tiniest detail on the horizon meant we saw the Big 5, learned about the Little 5 and generally saw so much more than we had any right to expect. Meals were hot and tasty every lunch and Erick taught us about the culture and even some Swahili.
Safari Soles, as a whole was stellar, so it only makes sense they would rely on Erick. Or contacts (Jamal and lbrahim) were ever-present. Jamal checked in with us literally multiple times per day. and made sure any small bumps were ironed out.
Safari Soles took care of all the transportation and verified details at every step. The vehicle for the safari was in great shape and everything promised on the itinerary was provided. It was scary trusting so much money to an unknown, but it was trust well-placed.
Zanzibar was a nice cap of relaxation to a busy safari. A little tip, the hotels are about 1.5 hours from the airport. And make sure to consider staying on the West side of the island, the beaches are much better.
