Unforgettable experience with excellent guide
5/5

We customized our safari for 7 days. What an incredible experience! Our guide Cheddy was excellent, very friendly and knowledgeable. We had a lot of fun driving around with him. He was constantly ensuring we were comfortable and having a great time.

The overnight stays were really great, especially for the price we paid for the tour compared to other operators.

Would 100% recommend!

BEST SAFARI TOUR IN TANZANIA
5/5

I’m very late writing this review, but after such an incredible trip, I really wanted to take the time to properly put into words how special this experience was.

I travelled to Tanzania with Safari Soles for a week at the end of May to celebrate my 30th birthday, and it was genuinely one of the most unforgettable trips I have ever taken. What started as a milestone birthday trip ended up being an experience that I will remember for the rest of my life.

### An unforgettable safari experience 🐘🦁

From the moment we arrived, everything was incredibly well organised. The itinerary took us through some of Tanzania’s most spectacular wildlife destinations, including Tarangire, Ngorongoro and the Serengeti, with every day bringing something completely different.

We were incredibly lucky with the wildlife we saw — and, most excitingly, **we managed to see the Big Five!** Seeing lions, leopards, elephants, buffalo and rhinos in their natural habitat was something I had dreamed of before going on safari, but actually experiencing it in person was beyond anything I expected.

There were so many unforgettable moments throughout the week. Watching elephants up close, seeing lions in the wild, spotting a leopard, coming across buffalo and finally seeing rhinos were all incredible in completely different ways.

The Serengeti in particular was absolutely breathtaking. There is something almost impossible to describe about being surrounded by such vast landscapes, watching wildlife move freely through them and realising that you are experiencing something that very few places in the world can offer.

The sunrises and sunsets, the endless plains, the wildlife and even the quiet moments sitting in the safari vehicle taking everything in made the whole experience feel surreal.

### Oscar — the best guide we could have asked for ⭐️

A huge part of what made our safari so incredible was our guide, **Oscar**.

Oscar was absolutely fantastic from start to finish. He was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, friendly and genuinely passionate about Tanzania and its wildlife.

One of the things that impressed us most was his ability to spot animals that we would have completely missed. He seemed to have an almost unbelievable eye for wildlife! Whether it was finding a leopard hiding in the trees or spotting animals in the distance, we always felt that we were in very safe and capable hands with him.

He also took the time to explain what we were seeing rather than simply pointing animals out to us. We learnt so much about the animals, their behaviour and the different environments we were travelling through.

Oscar was also very attentive to what we wanted from our safari. He never made us feel rushed and was always happy to answer our endless questions. He genuinely cared about making sure we had the best possible experience.

I honestly think the guide can make such a huge difference to a safari, and we feel incredibly lucky to have had Oscar. His knowledge, personality and enthusiasm made the experience even more special.

### The accommodation & overall experience

The accommodation throughout the trip was another highlight. Staying in safari camps and lodges surrounded by nature made the experience feel incredibly immersive.

There is something very special about waking up in the middle of the African wilderness and knowing that you are surrounded by wildlife. It is completely different from any normal holiday or hotel experience.

The itinerary was also really well put together. We got to experience different landscapes and parks rather than staying in one location, which meant that every few days brought something new.

Everything from the transfers to the accommodation and safari activities was organised for us, which meant we could simply enjoy the experience without having to worry about the logistics.

### The perfect way to celebrate turning 30 ❤️

I wanted my 30th birthday to be memorable, but I don't think I could have imagined a more incredible way to celebrate it.

There are so many ways you can celebrate a milestone birthday, but waking up in Tanzania, spending your days watching wild animals in their natural habitat and experiencing the Serengeti is something I will never forget.

Completing the safari and seeing the **Big Five** made it even more special. It was one of those trips where we constantly found ourselves saying, “Can you believe we're actually here?”

It genuinely felt like a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

### Safari Soles 🇹🇿

A huge thank you to the entire Safari Soles team for putting together such an incredible trip.

From the planning and organisation to the itinerary, accommodation and safari experience, everything came together so well. We felt looked after throughout the entire trip and were able to completely relax and enjoy ourselves.

And a very special thank you to **Oscar**. You were such an important part of making this trip as amazing as it was, and we couldn't have asked for a better guide.

If you are considering booking a safari in Tanzania, I would absolutely recommend Safari Soles. If you are lucky enough to have Oscar as your guide, you are in for an extra special experience!

Thank you for giving me the most incredible 30th birthday and memories that I know I will treasure for the rest of my life.

**Tanzania, the Big Five, the Serengeti and Oscar — what a trip. ❤️🇹🇿**

One of the best experiences of my life, and a trip I will never forget.
