Amazing Safari of a Lifetime!
5/5

Our safari with Safari Soles Tours exceeded every expectation we had. From the moment we arrived in Tanzania until the end of our safari, everything was organized, seamless, and unforgettable.

Our guide, Lawrence was phenomenal—knowledgeable, patient, and incredibly skilled at spotting wildlife. Because of his expertise, we were fortunate enough to see the Big Five, along with countless other amazing animals including cheetahs, giraffes, zebras, wildebeest, hippos, hyenas, ostriches, crowned cranes, and large herds of elephants with adorable babies. Every game drive brought something new and exciting.

One of the most breathtaking experiences was exploring the Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Crater. The landscapes were absolutely stunning, and seeing wildlife thriving in their natural habitat is something we’ll never forget. We never felt rushed, and our guide always made sure we had the best viewing opportunities while sharing fascinating information about the animals and ecosystem.

The accommodations were comfortable, the food was excellent, and every transfer was punctual and stress-free. It was obvious that Safari Soles truly cares about providing an exceptional experience.

This trip was a dream come true and the perfect way to celebrate a milestone birthday. If you’re considering a safari in Tanzania, don’t hesitate to book with Safari Soles. We would choose them again without question.

Thank you for giving us memories that will last a lifetime! 🐘🦏🦒🦁🦓❤️

Incredible Safari trip
5/5

Our guide Estomih went above and beyond for us on this trip. Not only did he thoughtfully stock the vehicle with everything we’d need, he also brought along a bilingual illustrated wildlife guidebook with both Chinese and English text.

The fridge was fully stocked with water, red and white wine, and beer.

He’s incredibly experienced and always gave his absolute best, letting us get much closer to the wildlife. I’d almost given up searching for cheetahs if it weren’t for his persistence — and in the end, we spotted two separate cheetah families!

This was such a wonderful, unforgettable safari. Thank you, Estomih, for making our trip so joyful.

Safair Soles handled everything professionally and promptly. Amazing experience!
5/5

My safari experience was beyond amazing. With the incredible Guide I had we were able to see all big five and several other rare and special moments. While some of that may have been luck, It’s difficult to put into words just how much my guide Joachim contributed to making this trip unforgettable. I spent five days with him on safari, and by the end, I felt like I wasn’t just leaving a guide—I was saying goodbye to a friend.

From day one, Adelina and Joachim went out of their way to accommodate anything I needed and made sure to always have a fast answer to all my questions surrounding the safari and planning. They made things easy.

What also impressed me was the care Safari Soles took with my safety. Throughout the entire Itinerary, I felt completely at ease because I knew I was with someone (Jaochim, Adelina, Innocent) who was experienced, attentive, and always looking out for my well-being. That peace of mind allowed me to fully enjoy every moment.

On top of being an outstanding professional, Joachim(guide) has a wonderful personality. He’s kind, funny, patient, and incredibly knowledgeable about the wildlife and the parks. His passion for what he does is contagious, and every game drive was filled with fascinating information, great conversations, and plenty of life long memories.

The entire Safari Soles Team was incredible. Employees like Joachim are rare, and he is exactly the kind of guide to seek out. He represents the company with excellence, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. Thank you, Joachim and Team!

Looked after you
5/5

The experience was awesome. We were taken care of the whole time. From pick up to drop off. We can’t thank enough either the guide, Jeff. It seemed like he went above and beyond to make sure that we had a great experience and saw as many animals as possible. In addition he was was a very cool easy going guy, with myself and my son. Which is important since you spend so much time with the guide. Would not recommend enough, I have done multiple safari’s in the past this is the best one by a long shot.

Excellent trip with Safari Soles / Elias Muro
5/5

Our guide/driver Elias was amazing on our tour. He has a wealth of knowledge of all of the animals in Serengeti, Ngorongoro, etc, and has a deep respect for nature and the animals. Additionally, he knows about all of the varieties of birds which was very interesting. He also has a great eye for spotting hard to see animals; on our trip he spotted Cheetahs sleeping under a tree, Leopards hiding in distant trees, and so many different birds such as eagles, starlings, and more. On top of all of this, Elias is very friendly and has a wonderful demeanor; we had some great conversations. He is an excellent driver/guide from this local tour company.

Our safari was perfectly planned and our guide made it memorable.
5/5

We just got back from an amazing 8-day safari. Irine helped me plan the trip and she was incredibly patient with all of my questions and changes to the itinerary. We stayed in mid-range tented camps and were very pleased with most of the accommodations. The newly renovated Ang'ata camp in Tarangire was especially nice but we were a tiny bit disappointed with the Ang'ata Ngorongoro camp; the tents are in need of a refresh but the staff were very kind and gracious. Our Landcruiser was very nice, new and well-equipped. Everything about the trip was very smooth from pick-up at the airport to drop-off.

The best part of the entire experience was our guide, Comfort. He was the best!!! We couldn't have asked for a more professional or more knowledgeable guide. It was evident that he is truly an expert in his field and his passion and enthusiasm were contagious. His ability to spot animals was unreal - we could be bumping along the road and he would spot something so far away and we never encountered a bird or animal that he didn't know. He taught us SO MUCH about Tanzania and about the animals we got to see. Thanks to him we ended up spotting 99 lions and of course we saw the Big Five as well as the Ugly Five. He was so friendly, kind and patient with us. He was an excellent driver and we always felt safe with him. I would strongly suggest that anyone booking with Safari Soles request him as their guide.

Huge thanks to everyone at Safari Soles that made our dream trip perfect!

Excellent Experience
5/5

An absolutely incredible safari guide, Cheddy! He has eagle eyes and spotted animals we never would have seen. He also knows all the Chinese names for the animals, which was such a fun bonus, and his knowledge of the terrain is second to none. Highly recommend!"

A thrilling adventure!
5/5

Safari Soles was a great choice for our safari. Our trip designer Lennox was communicative and adaptive to our specific trip needs. He arranged for an unexpected upgrade at one our lodge stays, and it was luxurious and amazing! We loved our driver Alvin. He was passionate about animals and about our comfort and safety. We saw a cheetah hunting and catching a gazelle, a lion pride hunting and another one feasting on a buffalo, and we even saw an elusive leopard! We saw the Big 5 including black rhinos. We are very satisfied with our trip and will continue to think about it for years to come.

A Faultless Introduction to Tanzania — Safari Soles come Highly Recommended
5/5


Safari Soles crafted the perfect short itinerary for anyone wanting a genuine flavour of Tanzania, and from start to finish it was an utterly faultless experience.
At the heart of our trip was Chedi, quite simply an outstanding guide. His knowledge goes far beyond the Big Five, and he was equally at home identifying birds and explaining the flora of each ecosystem we passed through, bringing the landscape to life in a way that made every moment of the drive genuinely fascinating. His driving was skilled and instinctive too, consistently positioning us for the best possible wildlife encounters while always maintaining a respectful distance from the animals. That balance is harder to strike than it looks, and Chedi got it right every time.
The itinerary took us through three spectacular ecosystems: Lake Manyara, Tarangire National Park and the Ngorongoro Crater, each strikingly different, and each given the time it deserved. Full-length game drives with picnic lunches in the bush were a particular highlight. There's something special about eating out in the open with the sounds of the park around you, and it meant we never had to cut a drive short at a crucial moment.
The lodges were superb, and we were welcomed at every stop by warm, enthusiastic staff who made us feel genuinely looked after. Customer service was excellent throughout, attentive without being intrusive, and always one step ahead.
If you're considering Tanzania and want a brilliantly organised trip with a guide who will genuinely elevate your experience, look no further than Safari Soles. We couldn't recommend them more highly.
