Responsive and easy to work with.
Came for the animals. Left emotionally changed. Waking up before sunrise was worth it (shockingly). Lions, elephants, endless skies, and guides who somehow knew everything. It felt raw, grounding, and quietly luxurious at the same time. 10/10 would disappear into the savannah again. Couldn’t have asked for a better guide! Christian was equal parts expert, storyteller, and miracle worker with binoculars.

Perfect safari with Shema and Safari Soles
We did a 4-day safari with Safari Soles, visiting Tarangire, spending two days in the Serengeti, and one day at the Ngorongoro Crater, and it was incredible! Our guide, Shema, was outstanding. We were able to see the Big Five and even witness a cheetah hunting a gazelle! Shema’s experience was essential for us to be in the right places at the right times to see all the animals. Another big highlight was the food — it was delicious every single day! We highly recommend him as a guide; besides being extremely knowledgeable, he’s also great company, very friendly and pleasant.

A dream safari, perfectly organized, with a team that went above and beyond.
We had an incredible experience organizing our safari with Safari Soles. From the very first contact, the entire team was extremely professional, friendly, and attentive to every detail.
I would especially like to highlight Hope, who was super kind and patient at the beginning of the process, helping us design the perfect safari, answering all our questions, and making us feel confident from day one.
In the final stage and once the trip had already started, Lilian was absolutely key. Not only was she always available, efficient, and attentive to make sure everything ran smoothly, but she also helped us recover a suitcase that the airline had lost during our flight. On top of that, she had the lovely gesture of coming to meet us in person — it was truly special to finally meet her.
The Safari Soles team coordinated everything to deliver our lost suitcase right in the middle of the Serengeti, which honestly felt almost impossible. Absolutely amazing — what a team! Truly outstanding.
Throughout the safari, the itinerary was followed exactly as planned, which we really appreciated. The lodges we stayed at were wonderful, comfortable, beautifully located, and surrounded by stunning scenery. The food was delicious, and the service everywhere was first-class, always warm and welcoming.
A very special mention goes to our guide and driver Mandela, who was simply fantastic — friendly, professional, and with excellent knowledge of the wildlife and the area. Thanks to him, every day of the safari was even more special.
I highly recommend Safari Soles to anyone looking for an authentic, well-organized safari with an exceptional human team. You are truly amazing — thank you for an unforgettable experience!

Excellent
Have such a great trip as planned by Safari Soles Tour! All itineraries were well organized right from pick up from, until drop off at airport. Our guide, Christian was really amazing, and he took really good care of us. We have had such exciting & unique time doing both day & night game drives.
Highly recommended 👍🏻.

Great Organisation and Koordination before and during the trip
We booked a 7-day private jeep safari. Communication and organization beforehand were excellent. All of our wishes were fulfilled and taken into account. During the safari, no wishes were left unfulfilled. Every evening, the next day was discussed together with our guide—where we should go next and what else we wanted to see. All in all, top-notch and highly recommended!!!

A Reliable and Highly Recommended Agency
Great experience with Safari Soles. We looked for the safari ourselves, without any intermediary agencies, and spent a long time comparing different prices and options. We chose Safari Soles because Vivian was very attentive and kept adapting the trip to all our requests.
First of all, the two guides we were with, Eric and Oscar, were extremely friendly from the very first moment. With Eric, we really enjoyed our day in Arusha, and he introduced us very well to Tanzanian culture. Oscar was our guide for most of the safari, and we are incredibly grateful to him because he made a great effort to ensure we could see as many animals as possible in the time we had, allowing us to leave Tanzania saying that we had seen the Big Five. He adjusted the itinerary so that we could experience everything at a relaxed pace, which we truly appreciated. In addition, we shared many great moments with him, and he made us feel very comfortable at all times.
Secondly, the experience was amazing, and we are very happy with all the accommodations they selected for us. We also had plenty of food and drinks throughout the entire trip.
We hope to return to Tanzania someday, and we would definitely choose them again without hesitation. Asente sana!

Excellent 12 days trip to Maasai Mara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Tarangire & Zanzibar
Safari Soles helped us plan our 12 days trip to Maasai Mara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Tarangire and Zanzibar. Its was very well planned and well thought of according to our requests. Dickson was our guide for the Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Tarangire part of the trip. He was very knowledgeable and experienced. We learned a lot from him and got to see the big five, the ugly five and so much more. We even got to see 3 lion huntings! The picnic lunches prepared by Dickson was also immaculate with even hot coffee made to your request.
No doubt the trip was exhausting with early morning game drives and bumpy rides…but it was all worth it. Excellent trip.

A safari is not relaxing, it's exciting.
We had Dickson as our guide for 5 days during our trip to Serengeti, Central Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, and Tarangire.
The parks were full of wildlife and since it was shoulder season, we did not have to compete with other tourists for good watching spots.
Dickson is patient, respectful, knowledgeable and attentive to our needs. He is a good balance of quiet and chatty. His years of experience came in handy as we were able to witness 3 lion hunts. Amazing!
Another favourite moment was seeing a famly of elephants having a mudbath.
I still can't believe we were able to get that close to the animals without them getting territorial.
We ended our safari with a beach holiday in Zanzibar. Highly recommended so you can wind down as the safari leg of the trip was tiring.
In all, this trip was amazing. Dickson was fantastic.
Many thanks to Prosper Mtey, our safari specialist, for coordinating this trip. The accomodation he arranged was fantastic.
Thank you Safari Soles.

Unforgetable
We have just returned from an unforgetable experience with Safari Soles, after a 8 day safari on Tanzania with my wife. From the beginning, the whole process was effortless and smooth, thanks to Ally Sanagora, which was the first to answer my mail requesting a quote. He answered all my requests on a profissional way and made all the arrangements necessary according to my preferences. He was very polite during the whole process and also during the safari, making sure that everything was going ok. We have been in contact for months and it was a pleasure dealing with Ally!
Regarding the Safari itself, we went to Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro. Tarangire prepared us for Serengeti. In Manyara we fell in love with the jungle and all its birds and monkeys. In Serengeti we got emotional with the raw nature of the park and in Ngorongoro we witnessed the closest thing to the Garden of Eden, on Earth. Our guide was Raymond and we got the luck to have a second guide, Balthazar aka Papali, which was learning to become a Safari guide as well. While Raymond was polite, patient, discrete and very knowledgeable, Balthazar was funny, made incredible videos of us with my phone and gave us lots of precious information as well. Raymond offered us the big five (with 3 rhinos!), but so much more!! He knew the best spots for all the animals, taking into account the unpredictability of it. The animals kept coming toward us and Raymond knew just where and when to wait for some magical moments. And thanks to his efforts, there were so many of them! From a cave with a lion and his cubs, a cheetah standing with her two little ones, a leopard spotting a herd of Thompson gazelles from the top of a tree and actually chasing one for her two cubs, a moment in which we were looking to a lake with a crocodile and all of a sudden the lake was being invaded with 40 elephants that stood right in front of us for a spa moment of water and stinking mud and finally, a lion and his lioness standing tall in the savanah with the wind blowing through their heads, we had it all! We also enjoyed every stop (and there were many) for just looking at the acacia trees, spotting vultures, eagles and other birds of prey, but also the hornbills (even a black and white casqued hornbill), little birds like the blue starling and the most beautiful lilac breasted roller bird and many african green bee eaters. I’m a bird lover but we had lots of “f#%k birds” moments with the mammals! Thanks to Balthazar we had the most incredible videos and he was the perfect assistent guide, always learning but always trying to help us as well. It wouldn’t have been the same without him. The accomodations were top notch, very intimate and friendly and we were always received with a fresh white towell to clear the dust (believe me, you’ll need it), and a fresh drink. The food was fantastic, just like home, but the best meal was on the bushes in Serengeti with our guides. Raymond and Balthazar were the best and we can’t thank them enough. Believe me when I say you will be in very good hands with them, that’s for sure!!
We finished our journey with Materuni waterfalls and the hot springs. It was an adventure going into the cascade and knowing all about the whole process of making coffee out of beans. We even prepared our own coffee from the beginning. The people in the village were very friendly and Innocent was the perfect guide through it all. The hot springs were the best finish for our day, just before getting to the airport.
In sum, if you’re thinking about doing a safari, look no further and book with Safari Soles! You’ll never regret it, you’ll return with amazing memories, lots of stories to remember and you’ll be able keep your memory of Tanzania alive! Our, will never die…

We had a splendid time with Safari Soles and Christian
Our three day safari with Safari soles was just a bliss. From the planning phase and communication with Douglas, through pick up and first breakfast in the savannah, successfull chase of a big five till final drop off at the hotel.
Special thanks to our awesome guide Christian. Christian was very knowledgible, very kind and took care of us whole three days. He told us a lot of about animals, culture, region and country. We will miss you, Christian!!!
