Serengeti shall never die!
(I forgot to attach photos last time, so..
We were extremely happy with the entire safari experience. Everything was well organized, from the daily schedule to the game drives, and the whole trip felt smooth, relaxed, and enjoyable. A big part of that was having Abu as our guide.
Abu is a professional, detail-oriented, and wonderfully polished safari guide — basically the kind of person you want to have with you on the safari.
He was always incredibly punctual and managed our daily schedule really well. The safari vehicle was spotless every single day, which made a surprisingly big difference, especially when you’re spending so much time in the car. And yes, the windows were clean enough that taking photos through the glass was absolutely no problem.
What impressed me most was how much he genuinely cares about the animals. He was always respectful of wildlife, and he had a great sense of where an animal might move next and which angle would give us a clearer view. He’s exactly the kind of guide you want to trust — observant, experienced, calm, and always thinking one step ahead.
And if you’re not a very talkative traveler, Abu is still an excellent companion. He has an impressive collection of extremely dry and wonderfully terrible jokes, so he can keep the silence from getting too awkward. 😂
He’s also apparently quite good at sports… see attached photo for evidence. We would absolutely recommend him to anyone planning a safari.

Fantastic planning, fantastic guide, fantastic experience
We had a fantastic week with Safari Soles. During the planning phase everything already felt very comfortable with them. The adapted the trip several times for us and everything went smooth and with quick follow-ups. In Tanzania the safari itself went exactly as planned. The vehicle was absolutely fantastic and our guide (Oscar, what a great guy! Please, if you want to have a good week on the road with an experienced expert, please request for him!) Oscar went all the way for us and he worked so hard all week to make things comfortable for us. That made our whole trip a great success. We will be back to Tanzania and Safari Soles again, for real!

An extremely professional, well thought out tour operator!
Our trip with Safari Soles was nothing short of amazing! We spent 5 days on Safari and everyone in that company was great to work with! Our guide Goodlove went above and beyond and was so knowledgeable about the animals and got us to see everything. This is a trip we will never ever forget

Great operator and great experience!
An Unforgettable Safari with Safari Soles – Highly Recommended!
We spent 5 incredible days on safari with Safari Soles: 1 day in Tarangire National Park, 3 days in the Serengeti, and 1 day in the Ngorongoro Crater. The entire experience was absolutely perfect from start to finish!
Everything was wonderfully organized, from the booking process and communication beforehand to all the information provided in advance, the airport transfers, and the entire safari itself. Everything ran smoothly, and we always felt that our wishes and preferences were taken into account. Safari Soles offers a truly personalized experience, tailoring the trip perfectly to your individual needs and making sure you get the safari of your dreams.
However, the absolute highlight of our trip was undoubtedly our guide, Rama, whom we would especially like to mention. He was not only an incredibly experienced and knowledgeable guide but also a genuinely wonderful person. Since you spend so many hours every day with your guide, having the right person makes all the difference to your safari experience – and Rama made ours truly unforgettable.
He was always helpful, answered all our questions, and shared so much fascinating knowledge about Tanzania, its wildlife, the local culture, and the different regions we visited. We felt completely safe, comfortable, and well taken care of every single moment. He always listened to our wishes, made us feel at ease, and went above and beyond to make our dreams come true.
Thanks to Rama, our safari became even more special than we could have imagined. We are incredibly grateful for this experience and can wholeheartedly recommend Safari Soles to anyone planning a safari in Tanzania. If you have the chance to travel with Rama, you are in the very best hands!
An unforgettable adventure that will stay with us forever!

An Extraordinary Safari！
We recently completed the Great Migration Safari with Safari Soles and had an amazing time exploring Tarangire, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro Crater. The wildlife sightseeing were spectacular！Everything was well organized, and the entire trip ran remarkably smooth.
The accommodations arranged by Safari Soles were impressive. The hotels and safari camps were fantastic, the food was excellent, and the staffs were welcoming， making our stay memorable. And our guide, Abu, was absolutely exceptional. He worked tirelessly to ensure we had the best possible experience every day. That made our whole trip a great success. He had a keen eye for spotting animals, drove with real respect for them, and planned our routes well ahead of time. He was always on time and kept the vehicle spotless，we felt well taken care of throughout the trip.
We will absolutely recommend Safari Soles to our friends, and we hope to return to Tanzania for another safari in the not-too-distant future.

Top class safari operator
We had an amazing experience with this company. From the get go they were very responsive over email showing us different options and helping us to customise our itinerary (shout out to Renata here who was a great help).
We did 6 days on Safari in Tanzania and 2 days of other activities around Arusha. Everything was very well organised and everyone from the company we met was super friendly and professional and spoke great English.
In particular our main safari guide Bosco was incredible. Not only was he exceptional in his amazing knowledge of the animal and ability to spot the wildlife (we saw literally everything), but also he made us feel so welcome in the country and we had so many interesting conversations with him about the culture and life in Tanzania. He showed us amazing hospitality and friendliness.
We stayed in mid range accommodation for our trip and overall the price we got for the trip was very competitive I found.
One more shout out, I told them I was planning to propose to my girlfriend during this trip and they threw in a romantic private dinner in the Serengeti free of charge and helped organise everything and keep it secret, and it made for a very memorable engagement ❤️.

Trip of a Lifetime
We just returned from a 8 day safari with Safari Soles. They helped customize an itinerary that was exactly what we wanted. Their communication was excellent and emails were answered within a day Mandela was our guide and he was superb! We saw all of the Big Five multiple times. Our accommodations were very comfortable and each place had staff that were very helpful. We highly recommend Safari Soles as a company and Mandela as a guide.

wonderful trip and amazing guide
The safari trip was unexpectedly amazing! I think it was mainly thanks to Safari Soles’ arrangements and the professionalism of our guide, Abu. Not only could he defuse elephant crises, but he also found us the best photo angles. Every time he spotted an animal, he would drive the vehicle to the optimal shooting position and even fine-tune it—sometimes by just a dozen or so centimeters. He was the single most important factor in us getting great photos on this safari. In addition, I really appreciated his respect for the animals.

Emmanuel’s professionalism, patience, passion, and attentiveness made all the difference.
If you are planning a safari in Tanzania, book with Safari Soles and request Emmanuel as your guide if possible. Our two night, three day safari took us through three national parks, and while the wildlife and landscapes were breathtaking, Emmanuel was the person who truly made the experience exceptional. From beginning to end, he made everything feel seamless, comfortable, and thoughtfully organized. He was attentive to our needs, communicated clearly, and ensured we could fully enjoy the experience without worrying about logistics. What impressed us most was his extraordinary, expert level knowledge of wildlife and Tanzania’s national parks. His expertise went far beyond identifying animals, as he understood their behavior, habitats, movement patterns, and relationships with their environment. He knew where to look, what details to notice, and how to anticipate wildlife activity, making every game drive especially rewarding. His explanations were engaging, informative, and added an entirely new dimension to our experience, helping us understand and appreciate the animals rather than simply observe them. Emmanuel’s professionalism, patience, passion, and attentiveness made all the difference and transformed our safari into an unforgettable experience. I highly recommend requesting Emmanuel as your guide because his knowledge and dedication set an incredibly high standard.
We are already looking forward to returning to Tanzania, booking with Safari Soles again, and having Emmanuel guide us through other parks while bringing more family and friends to share the experience. Thank you, Emmanuel and Safari Soles, for an unforgettable safari!!!
