Great Experience
The trip was amazing. Our guide Shema was the best. Always smiling, flexible, took us to nice places to see game, handled issues with the car very well. We visited Tarangire, Northern Serengeti, Central Serengeti, and Ngorongoro Crater. Good value for money.

Amazing Adventure with Mandela of Safari Soles
Our tour with Safari Soles was an amazing adventure. Spending six full days on safari with our guide, Mandela, was a dream. We got more than our fill of animals migrating, stalking, hanging out, eating, etc. We didn’t just see the wildlife, many times we were there when something interesting was happening … a lion eating with anxious hyenas probing and circling for their turn was one of our favorites. Mandela would stop the jeep whenever he/we spotted our favorite animals, no matter how small (like mongoose) or how crazy-looking (like wildebeests). The list of animals and beautiful birds that we were among is too long to mention, but we saw everything we wanted to and learned about many creatures we hadn’t counted on seeing, but were living naturally right in front of us.
Mandela was our expert. He knew the right places to find the animals and birds we wanted to see, and so often we got to see them very close. We immediately felt his expertise with great background information to understand what we were seeing and interesting facts about the wildlife and the area. Not only did we feel at ease, but we felt like family. I think Mandela was enjoying the rhythms and spectacle of nature as much as we were, and we felt it. He navigated and drove superbly. Every morning when we started, the jeep would be immaculately clean and would be provided with drinks, cushions, and binoculars for us.
Safari Soles chose the most beautiful and homey lodgings, and we enjoyed them all. The buffet dinners and breakfasts were expansive at each place, and we loved tasting the different, wonderful African cuisines. We had several lunches at designated picnic areas in the park, and Mandela would pull out the tablecloth, silverware and plates for our delicious meals together.
The Serengeti itself along with Ngorongoro Crater and Tarangire National Park were truly breathtaking, and I thank Mandela and Safari Soles for offering us such an extraordinary adventure with an equally extraordinary guide!

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 🐘🦁🦒

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!
