Exceded our expectations
We recently completed our 10-day tour with Safari Soles. I’m not one who normally does reviews because my expectations of customer service and care are rarely met. I am please to say that with Safari Soles they were exceeded. From the beginning Joachim Mushi, our sales consultant, was extremely helpful as we worked through the details of putting together our itinerary. He was always responsive whether on the phone or through e mail. All the Safari Soles staff we encountered were friendly, helpful and determined to see that we enjoyed ourselves. The camps we stayed at were neat, clean, good food and filled with great folks. Our Guide however rose above all others. Silas Mathayo was the crown jewel in our trip. Friendly, extremely knowledgeable about the Country, the parks and of course the animals. His personality and sense of humor added to his knowledge made him an absolute joy to spend eight days with. By the end we felt like family and hated to part company with him. This was our first safari and thus our first guide so I can’t really make a comparison, however I would be hard pressed to see how anyone could be better that Silas. Thank you Silas, Joachim and the entire Safari Soles family. I whole heartly recommend them to anyone considering a safari. Eddie and Lou Ann

Once a Safari Lover, Always a Safari Lover 🦓
Choosing a reliable safari operator is the single most important part of any trip to Africa—and choosing this one was absolutely the best decision we made for our entire journey.
Our guide, Dickson, is patient, professional, attentive, and always eager to help. At the start, he asked about our favorite animals and what we hoped to see, and he made sure to remember every single one of our requests. Since I love giraffes and we were desperate to spot the Big Five, he made it his mission to make both happen for us.
Dickson is like a walking, talking African encyclopedia. There isn’t an animal he doesn’t know, and he always takes the time to explain their behaviors and habits to us. He drove us all over the reserve in search of new sightings, and thanks to his expertise, we witnessed so many rare, unforgettable moments: a pride of lionesses fighting over a wildebeest kill, a leopard feasting on its prey, an impala mother eating her placenta right after giving birth, the massive wildebeest migration, spotted hyenas cooling off in a puddle, and warthogs rubbing themselves against tree stumps. It felt like we’d stepped into a whole other world.
As two female travelers, we also felt incredibly safe and well taken care of with Dickson. He always found the best light and angles to take photos of us, apologized every time the road got bumpy, and even laid out our tablecloth, set our utensils, and made us coffee at every meal. He also gave us the best advice: head out early in the morning when the animals are most active and the weather is cooler, then head back to camp to rest at midday before heading out again in the afternoon when the heat dies down.
When there wasn’t much wildlife around, he taught us simple Swahili phrases and told us jokes to keep the mood light. His driving skills are also top-notch—we always felt completely safe in his hands, no matter the terrain. He navigated muddy patches with ease and was always respectful, giving way to both wildlife and other vehicles on the road.
Dickson’s care and expertise truly made our trip worry-free and unforgettable. This safari will go down as one of the most special experiences of our lives. They say you only do safari once or never stop coming back—and we’re already ready to come back.

Wonderful Experience!!
Had an amazing experience with Safari Soles. This was our first safari & their sales specialist Neema was very helpful & understanding. She tailored our package to our needs, gave us reasonable quotes & was very patient in every aspect of safari decision making. Their process is very transparent & one gets proper documentation after every phase. Guest experience team was equally great. & was very proactive to respond to our queries. Lastly & most important our guide Abrazack was abs great. He had knack for details, ensured we are well taken care of, explained us everything in detail & made our experience just wow !!
Thanks team, you guys were GREAT ! 😊
