Truly unforgettable experience
5/5

Wow, I can't express how incredible my safari experience in Tanzania was with Soles Safari! From the moment I connected with tour operator Julius Joseph, I knew I was in good hands. Julius took the time to truly understand our preferences and customized the tour to cater to our every need. His attention to detail and willingness to go the extra mile made us feel valued and ensured that our safari would be a once-in-a-lifetime adventure.

What impressed me the most was the seamless execution of the tour. Throughout the entire journey, every aspect of the logistics was flawlessly managed, allowing us to focus on immersing ourselves in the breathtaking landscapes and captivating wildlife.

The accommodations provided by Soles Safari were nothing short of luxurious. Each lodge or camp we stayed at surpassed our expectations. The staff were warm, friendly, and always ready to assist. The rooms were beautifully appointed, offering a comfortable sanctuary after a day of thrilling game drives. And let me not forget to mention the the food options per our preference.

Our safari guide, Isaack, was an absolute gem. Not only was he incredibly knowledgeable about the wildlife and ecosystems, but he also had an innate ability to understand our desires and tailor the game drives accordingly. His experience and intuition led us to the most incredible sightings, including witnessing the awe-inspiring Great Migration and encountering the Big 5 in the Serengeti. Isaack made every game drive a memorable experience.

One particular moment stands out - my son's dream of seeing a Cheetah. Isaack took it upon himself to make that dream come true. He planned an early morning game drive, and to our sheer delight, we spotted a majestic Cheetah in all its glory. The joy and excitement on my son's face were priceless, and it's all thanks to Isaack's commitment to creating extraordinary moments.

I must also commend Isaack for his thoughtfulness during the game drives. He made sure we were always comfortable, stocking the jeep's refrigerator with an abundance of drinks, including our favorite cold beverages, water, beer, and wine. This attention to detail and hospitality added an extra touch of luxury to our safari experience.

From the moment we embarked on this journey with Soles Safari, till the very end, our safari adventure was nothing short of fabulous. The exceptional service, the luxurious accommodations, and the personalized guidance of Isaack made this a truly unforgettable experience. I cannot recommend Soles Safari enough for anyone seeking a remarkable safari in Tanzania.

Thank you, Soles Safari, for making our dreams come true and creating memories that will last a lifetime!

Safari Soles Trip
5/5

We recently enjoyed an incredible 4 days and 3 nights trip to Tanzania, and it was an unforgettable experience! Our first three days were spent with our amazing guide, Innocent, who was knowledgeable, friendly, and made sure we had a blast exploring the stunning landscapes and wildlife. On our last day, Jonathan took over, and he was equally fantastic, providing us with more fun and fascinating insights. Both guides were exceptional and made our trip truly special. We highly recommend this adventure to anyone looking for a fun and immersive Tanzanian experience!

Cheddy is the most knowledgable, funny, nice and patient person I ever met
5/5

Amazing adventure with Cheddy at Tanzania. Having someone who's both knowledgeable about wild animals and has a keen eye for spotting them from a distance made this journey truly unforgettable. It's wonderful that he was patient enough to wait while we captured those perfect pictures. And sharing jokes and laughter along the way made the whole experience even more enjoyable. Glad to have him as our guide and looking forward to meeting him again soon.

Incredible safari to see Big 5
5/5

Boniface tailored a beautiful safari adventure with stays at exclusive lodges while we visited Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro. Extremely happy with Simon (Safari monster) our driver guide who was patient, fun, warm with good knowledge and keen eyesight to spot wildlife. Lost count of lions and lionesses we saw. Loved the herds of elephants and zebras and wildebeest. Enjoyed the hippos, giraffes, buffaloes and countless herbivores. We were thrilled by 8 cheetahs and 2 leopards. Only the black rhino was far away in Ngorongoro. I guess we will be back again to catch the rhino. Thank you.

Five stars for both company and driver! Unconditional recommendation!
5/5

My husband and I fully recommend Safari Soles Tours, and for many reasons. The biggest one is our driver, Elias. This man loves what he does, and it shows: He is kind and funny, knowledgeable, a very good driver, and he knows Serengeti and Ngorongoro (and nearly every bump in the road) like the back of his hand. He has years of experience in touring safaris, so he has a keen eye and sees the animals way before you do — or even his colleagues from the competition. He is an honest man which means he also manages expectations accordingly (e.g., the chances of seeing Rhino or Cheetah are basically 50/50). Eventually, we were lucky enough to see these beauties, but thanks to Elias he took us to see something very special on our honeymoon: The migration of the zebras and wildebeests. He knew exactly where to find them, even without sticking to the radio chatter from his colleagues, and he made us feel safe along every kilometer of the way. And we covered a lot in only 2.5 days...

The comms with Oken from Safari Soles Tours were so easy and clear, pleasant and proactive from his side. He easily arranged our pickup from Arusha and back to Moshi, everything was bang-on-time and therefore utterly reliable. The accommodations in the camps were also amazing: Hot water, showers (!) and dinner buffets with really good food in the middle of Serengeti made us feel uncomfortably comfortable (if that makes sense), and the cooked meals we received in the morning to eat at noon (arranged lovingly by Elias as a buffet with table cloth either in the car or on picnic benches) were very tasty indeed.

All of the above made our tour unforgettable, creating memories of a lifetime. Oken, thank you for making this possible. And Elias, if you read this, thank you, rafiki, for making it happen! Take care, safe travels always and god bless you and your family!

An Unforgettable Tanzanian Adventure
5/5

My mother and I recently returned from a 12-day safari with Safari Soles in Tanzania, and I can confidently say it was one of the best experiences of our lives. From the moment we arrived, we were taken care of in every possible way, with special attention given to my 70-year-old mother, ensuring her comfort and enjoyment throughout the trip.

Our journey was filled with incredible wildlife sightings. We were fortunate enough to see the Big Five—lions, leopards, rhinos, elephants, and buffaloes—as well as a rare sighting of five cheetahs! The abundance of animals we encountered exceeded all of our expectations.

A significant part of what made this safari so memorable was our guide, Innocent. His knowledge, enthusiasm, and kindness truly enhanced our experience. He made sure we were always in the right place at the right time to witness the spectacular wildlife and shared fascinating insights about the animals and their habitats.

In addition to the safari, we also explored the Kilimanjaro region with our guide Andrew. His expertise and friendly demeanor made our time there just as enjoyable and enriching.

Overall, Safari Soles provided an outstanding adventure, tailored to suit all ages and preferences. I would highly recommend them to anyone considering a Tanzanian safari vacation. Their attention to detail, exceptional guides, and commitment to customer satisfaction make them a top choice for an unforgettable safari experience.

A perfect Safari experience
5/5

A very professional and reliable team, whether it is pre-communication, landing and pick-up, or the whole Safari trip, are all arranged perfectly. In the early stage, Innocent has a fast response speed. He contacted us first after we sent out the demand. And because we are Chinese, he can communicate with us efficiently on WeChat and patiently answer our questions, and can give custom itineraries according to our needs. Our guide, Dickson, is a very professional and reliable person, very knowledgeable, and has a good eye. He can see the animals from a long distance and accurately tell us the specific names of the animals, which is amazing. He helped us collect the "Big Five" of Africa, we even saw the white rhinoceros!The whole trip, whether it is the hotel or the diet, is very perfect, which has brought us an unforgettable African Safari trip. Next time we have the opportunity, we will go to explore nature again.

Top Notch
5/5

Words cannot even begin to describe how amazing this experience was! Simon, our guide, was so knowledgeable and always ensured we were comfortable wherever we were. He was so patient with all of our (my) questions, and has such a wealth of knowledge which he is happy to share. His experience allowed for us to see all of the Big 5 in 4 days!! He also knew exactly how to handle a bull elephant that we unexpectedly came face to face with on the road to the lodge! The accommodations were all beautiful, comfortable, and exceeded our expectations by far. Safari Soles was so easy to work with and made sure all of our needs were met. Happiness George simplified the planning of the safari including all of our transportation arrangements from the time we landed to the time we left. I definitely would like to do another safari and will be using Safari Soles again. I will also be requesting Simon as our guide too.I highly recommend using Safari Soles and requesting Simon to be your guide!

Fantastic African Safari Experience
5/5

Safari Soles tours has kept their promise and left us an unforgettable safari experience! Our sales Sukujua has made all of the pre-trip communications fast and smooth, always tried the best to accommodate our requirements. The trip guide Issac, who is a funny guy, always makes jokes and fills the jeep with laughs. More importantly, he showed his experience and professionalism by proactively taking us to what we want to see. He was several times the first-spotter of the Rhinos, massive eating scenes, and lions, which made us quite proud. He also drives safely during all of the exhausting long-range transfers. We will surely come back to this lovely Serengeti again for even more days next time!

Every day a Highlight
5/5

We were with Safari Soles for 11 days on a private safari with our guide Estomih and it couldn't have been better. We are very happy that we did our safari with Safari Soles Tours.

We felt we were in good hands right from the start - the planning of our tour with Innocent was also very friendly and all our wishes were made possible. For example, the organization of an airport transfer on Zanzibar was no problem at all. Innocent always responded very quickly, which was brilliant for our somewhat last-minute planning.

I can only recommend everyone to take a little more time for this wonderful country. We loved each of the national parks on our safari and also the cultural activities. It was very exciting to see how different the landscape and the people are.

Our highlights:
- In Arusha NP we went on a walking safari and walked very close to buffaloes, warthogs and even a giraffe. In the evening we visited a coffee farm and were able to roast our own coffee.
- In Lake Manyara, we also went on a bike tour through the town of Mto wa bu and learned a lot about rice and banana cultivation and visited three families. I can only recommend it!
- Lake Natron was also very eventful - here we went to a waterfall with our Maasai guide Tobias and watched the sunrise at the lake in the morning.
- At lake Eyasi we visited two tribes - both visits were super interesting and well organized. We never felt uncomfortable and were able to learn a lot from the inhabitants. A highlight of our tour!
- The classics such as Tarangire NP, Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater were of course also on our itinerary. We were able to spend four days in the Serengeti and, thanks to our guide Estomih, we saw incredible things (lions, hyenas and cheetahs eating, a leopard, a herd of elephants with lots of little babies and a pride of lions with 7! cubs from very close up and many more).

Estomih was always able to tell us a lot about each animal and answer all our questions. Thanks to him, this trip will remain unforgettable.

Our booked lodges were also a highlight for us every evening and amazed us. The food was delicious and the hot lunch that Estomih always brought and served for us was also very tasty!

It was a lot of fun traveling with Safri Soles and Estomih and we would do our tour again anytime. Thank you very much!
