Amazing Family Safari Thanks to Angel & Ali!
We just wrapped up an incredible 7-day family safari in Tanzania, and it was perfect thanks to Angel at Safari Soles Tours and our guide, Ali.
Angel made planning our trip (the "7-Day Tanzania Safari: Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro & Lake Manyara") super easy, even with kids. She was quick to respond and tailored everything to our family. Her planning took all the stress out of it!
Ali, our guide, was simply the best. He knew everything about the animals and parks, and his sharp eyes meant we saw tons of wildlife, from lions to elephants. He was fantastic with our kids, making every game drive fun and educational. Ali was friendly, drove great, and made sure we were always comfortable and safe. He truly brought Tanzania to life for us.
The itinerary was well-paced, covering Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, and Lake Manyara. Every day was exciting, and the lodges Angel picked were great for families.
We highly recommend Safari Soles Tours, especially for families. A huge thanks to Angel for the perfect planning and to Ali for being such an amazing guide. It was an unforgettable trip!

Best possible company and guide
We had an incredible safari experience in Tanzania, thanks to our amazing guide, Godlove, from Safari Soles. He took us to some of the most stunning places, including Tarangire National Park, Ngorongoro Crater, and both the northern and central Serengeti. Godlove’s expertise was evident as he guided us to see rare animals, including a black rhino and two leopards, which aren’t easy to spot. He was incredibly knowledgeable, attentive, and respectful, always ensuring we were comfortable and well taken care of. Spending six days with him felt like being with a family member. We are so grateful for his dedication and expertise!

Exploring Tanzania: Tarangire, Lake Natron, Serengeti, Ngorongoro & Lake Eyasi in 8 Days
We joined an 8-day private lodge safari with Safari Soles Tours, and it was truly the trip of a lifetime. I went with a friend, and we were guided by Jonas — a highly professional, polite, and passionate guide who has a deep love for wildlife and an incredible eye for spotting animals.
Thanks to Jonas, we witnessed unforgettable scenes: a lioness nursing her cubs, a cheetah feeding on its prey, a leopard lounging in a tree, herds of elephants including babies walking toward a waterhole, hyenas, a serval cat, African buffalo, hippos, crocodiles, monkeys, baboons, countless zebras and wildebeests, impalas, elands, gazelles, topis, and even a distant glimpse of a black rhino.
Bird lovers will be thrilled — we saw so many species, including the Ashy Starling, Superb Starling, kingfishers, hornbills, owls, eagles, ibises, storks, Egyptian geese, grey herons, Baglafecht Weavers, flamingoes, and the stunning grey crowned crane. I’m sure there were many more that I couldn’t name — but all of these incredible sights are forever etched in our memories and captured in our cameras.
We were also lucky to witness a small group of wildebeest crossing the river — it lasted only about 3 minutes, but Jonas's experience and perfect timing ensured we arrived just in time to see it.
While the afternoon heat between 2 to 4 PM was intense and took some getting used to, everything else — from the amazing wildlife to the comfortable lodge accommodations — made this an unforgettable experience.
If I have the chance, I would love to return during the green season to see the Ngorongoro Crater in its lush, post-rainy-season beauty. I’m sure it would be a whole different yet equally unforgettable adventure.
We also did a hot air balloon safari, which, although pricey, was absolutely worth it. From above, we saw breathtaking views of large herds of animals and, for the first time on this trip, a group of vultures gathered around and feeding on the carcass of what looked like a gazelle or wildebeest — a rare and powerful sight.
Safari Soles arranged the balloon safari with a highly rated and safe operator, which gave us extra peace of mind.
Additionally, they helped us organize a visit to a Hadzabe tribe, and our local guide Harzad was excellent — knowledgeable, respectful, and able to communicate well with the Hadzabe people, allowing us to have meaningful interactions and ask questions.
All in all, this trip exceeded every expectation. If I ever have the chance, I would absolutely go again — and I would choose Safari Soles Tours in a heartbeat.

Top Notch
We did an 8 day Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongo Crater Safari and it was an incredible experience.
Safari Soles helped us organise out tour for 5 people and was very responsive to our needs, right from the beginning. All communications were very quick and efficient. Oken Alick was very helpful to us as we planned from afar.
We were well taken care of right from the airport. The accommodations were all more than we expected. We especially liked the luxury camps within the national parks. Our guide Baraka was very knowledgeable and generous with his time. We saw some amazing animals, gorgeous landscapes, and a vibrant African culture.
Our trip was everything we hoped for as a family.
I would highly recommend Safari Soles.

Incredible experience!
An unforgettable experience in Tanzania
We were fortunate enough to take a private safari through the Tarangire National Park and the Ngorongoro Crater, and it was an absolutely spectacular experience. Our guide, Sam, who spoke fluent Spanish, and our driver, Oscar, accompanied us throughout the tour. Both were incredibly kind, professional, and attentive throughout.
Sam shared a wealth of information about the local history, wildlife, and culture, which greatly enriched the trip. Thanks to his knowledge and the great teamwork with Oscar, we were able to see all the animals we dreamed of seeing, from lions and elephants to hippos and giraffes.
The entire service was impeccable: always punctual, with warm hospitality, and a comfortable, well-equipped vehicle. I highly recommend this experience. If you're considering a safari in Tanzania, don't hesitate to do it with them. An adventure of a lifetime we'll never forget!

A never-forgettable 6-Day Safari with Safari Soles Tours
We are a family of 4 and have just returned from the most unforgettable 6-day safari in Tanzania, perfectly organized by Safari Soles Tours. From start to finish, everything was seamless, exciting, and deeply enriching.
Our guide, Innocent, was truly outstanding. His deep knowledge of wildlife, ecosystems, and Tanzanian culture brought each day to life. He could spot animals where we saw only trees and grass, and he always made sure we were in the perfect position to witness incredible scenes.
The planning process was handled by Patrick, who was communicative, responsive, and flexible from day one. He helped tailor the itinerary to our needs and made sure we were well-informed and comfortable throughout the entire journey. From airport pickup to accommodation to meals, everything was thoughtfully arranged with military precision.
We visited Tarangire National Park, Lake Maniara, Serengeti National Park, and the Ngorongoro Crater, each destination offering its own unique landscape and wildlife.
The accommodations were beyond expectation, a balance of adventure and comfort. Clean, safe, and always with a warm welcome, they let us stay immersed in nature without sacrificing rest and relaxation.
This wasn’t just a vacation; it was a deeply moving experience that connected us with the beauty of the natural world of Tanzania in ways we’ll never forget. We can’t recommend Safari Soles Tours highly enough. If you’re considering a safari in Tanzania, look no further—ask for Innocent as your guide and Patrick to help plan your trip. You won’t regret it.
P.S: the best price out of 5 offers for the similar level of services

Jonas is an expert guide with sharp vision and a passion for unforgettable wildlife experiences.
My friend and I just returned from an unforgettable 7-day safari adventure through the Ngorongoro Crater, Tarangire National Park, and the Serengeti — and it was absolutely incredible.
While planning this trip, I reached out to over 20 different tour operators to find the perfect fit. From the very beginning, Catherine at Safari Soles stood out. She was thoughtful, patient, and incredibly responsive — and that’s coming from a New Yorker who definitely operates on a New York minute. Honestly, I think she works around the clock. She answered every question I had (and I had a lot), which gave me full confidence in choosing Safari Soles for our safari.
Our guide, Jonas (Jonathan Msabaha), was phenomenal. He was like a walking encyclopedia of all things Tanzania and wildlife, and I’m pretty sure he has 20/10 vision — he could spot animals from a mile away, without binoculars, while driving. On top of that, he tailored the experience to what we were most excited about. After learning about my love for cheetahs, he suggested a visit to the Eastern Serengeti. He warned us that there were no guarantees due to their elusive nature, but we ended up seeing over ten!
The accommodations throughout the trip were lovely. I highly recommend the Signature Serengeti Luxury Tented Safari Camp and Karatu Simba Lodge — both were comfortable, welcoming, and surrounded by nature.
I can’t recommend Safari Soles enough. What I thought would be a once-in-a-lifetime trip turned into something I’m already planning on doing again (in the hopefully near-ish future). If you’re planning a safari, go with Safari Soles — and if you can, request Jonas as your guide (though fair warning: if I’m planning a return trip at the same time, you might have to fight me for him).

Excellent
I took a day trip to Tarangire park from Arusha. My tour guide was Tumain Justin with Safari Soles. He was an amazing driver and guide. He was prompt in his pickup, very friendly, and enthusiastic. He was attentive, took the time to explain points of interest. He had an excellent find of knowledge of the birds, fauna, and animals in the park. He even had a bird species book which he referred to as we saw the unique birds of the park. I appreciated his enthusiasm and kindness. I have nothing but praise for Tumain.

Dickson was so great
Dear Safari Soles,
Our group would like to leave a 5 Star review for our recent Safari trip with guide and driver Dickson. Dickson is an experienced guide and driver and it showed in his taking us to locations that had the most the animals. We were able to see 4 of the big 5. He was punctual picking us up and dropping us off at our hotels every day. We cannot praise him enough for his excellent safe driving. If he was fatigued we did not detect it at all, as he was alert even during the most dangerous rough terrains. He gave us useful information but didn’t talk too much. We would love to give him 10 stars if we could. We appreciate him so much for keeping us safe and always asking if he parked in the best position for top photos.
