Super
Hi Patrick and Lennox,
Sanyi and Min are here.
The trip we just had is unbelievable amazing. The things we saw, the service we got from our hotel personnel and the food prepared for us are met and even exceeded our initial expectation. We are so happy to have Mike, Isaack as our tour guides and drivers. They are so professional and very knowledgeable. In Kenya our car usually was the last vehicle drive on the road in the group. But Mike was very good at to find the best spot for us to observe the wild animals. Mike and Isaack are very patient to unswerving our questions and sometimes they even spelled the animals name to us. A big thank to Patrick. You arranged an extra city tour for us on the day we were leaving Arusha. Min and me don’t have a word to express our satisfaction for this trip. It is just super. If you have to ask an area can be improved I would say the condition of the hotel at third place we stayed in Kenya could be a little bit better. The food there are excellent, the cabin sleeping area are fine. The only thing can be better is the cabin shower area. It is a little bit wear and tear. Anyway, overall as whole trip we will give 10 out of 10 for its grade and we have no hesitation to recommend your company to our friends and our daughters if they plan go to Africa. Good luck to both of you.
Cheers,
Sanyi and Min

Unforgettable Safari Experience with Safari Soles – Highly Recommended!
We booked our safari with Safari Soles, and the whole planning process with Angel via WhatsApp was smooth and easy. She responded quickly to our requests and customized the trip according to our wishes.
On the first day, we did the “Foothills of Mount Kilimanjaro” tour, which included the Materuni Waterfall, a coffee plantation, and the Hot Springs. Our guide Balthasary was very kind and thoughtful – he even brought rubber boots and walking sticks for us, which were really necessary because of the muddy paths after the rain. The waterfall itself was beautiful, and the coffee tour was interesting with delicious food. However, the Hot Springs were very crowded and noisy during our visit, which made the experience less enjoyable. Overall, I would say this tour was just okay and could easily be skipped.
The real highlight started the next day when our guide Silas picked us up. Silas was simply the best guide we could have ever wished for. He took us through Tarangire National Park, the Northern and Central Serengeti, and finally the Ngorongoro Crater. Silas was incredibly knowledgeable – he could tell us details about every single animal, from the Big Five to the smallest birds, plants, and even cultural aspects of Tanzania and the Maasai people. He always made sure to stop for every sighting, not just the big animals, which made the experience so special. His passion and expertise turned our safari into an unforgettable adventure.
Overall, our trip to Tanzania was amazing and will always stay in our hearts. A huge thank you to Safari Soles, and especially to Silas, for making this such a memorable journey!

Safari of a lifetime with Safari Soles
We booked our safari with Safari Soles. From the start of our safari, Christian, our guide was terrific. His expertise and knowledge of the safari animals were very helpful. He not only made sure we saw a variety of safari animals, he also found all of the big 5, even the ever elusive rhino!! He explained about the trees and plants, about which ones the animals like to eat. He knows the Serengeti like it’s his own backyard.
We had some bellyache laughter, especially the ostrich on the road that ran away from us and when we saw a lion with his hunt while the hyena tried to help himself to some of it! I highly recommend our guide Christian at Safari Soles. He is kind and respectful. He made sure we had a memory of a lifetime!

Amazing 5 day tour of Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro with an awesome safari team
What an amazing safari we had with safari soles. Irine was the perfect planner, giving us many thoughts and suggestions for the best itinerary for our party of 11, including kids from 7 to 16. She was incredibly patient and helpful, from the first time we had first contact, right through the entire process of selecting, booking and then actually being on safari. Nothing was too much effort.
Big thanks to our transfer guides Andrew, Baltazar, Erick and Chief for helping us to and from the airport and showing us some of the sights of Arusha.
As for the safari, what an incredible experience we had as we visited Tarangire, the Serengeti and the Ngorongoro crater. Our guides Silas and Kennedy were awesome. Amazing knowledge, great company and managed to find us pretty much all we hoped to see. Apart from their choice of favourite football team (Chelsea 👎🏼) they were great - making sure we got into the best position when observing the rarer wildlife but always respectful of the animals. Even the long drives were brilliant and on the first day in the Serengeti we saw lions and cheetah up close, leopard, elephants, hyena and much more. They also waited patiently and used their knowledge to make sure we got into position to watch the migration over the Mara river. The safari camps were outstanding and sleeping so close to wild animals (while being kept perfectly safe by the camp staff) was an unbelievable experience.
Overall, a Serengeti safari is an incredible experience that we would recommend to everybody and you won’t find a better team than safari soles to plan and run your safari.
Thank you team

Very humble but experienced and lucky
Christian was very knowledgeable and helped us find every animal we were looking for. We had a close up view of the big 5 and we were also positioned perfectly in order to see the entire wildebeest river crossing from start to finish.

Quick and attentive to wants and priorities!
Our Safari Beach Vacation with Safari Soles was amazing and truly a trip of a lifetime due to our guide Ally Kimea! He went out of his way to ensure we saw everything we wanted and took time to educate us on animals and customs we have never seen/heard before. His knowledge and expertise is beyond the standard for tour guides. We got to see 4 out of the Big 5 and every extra animal on our list due to him. We even got to get up close with both lions and elephants. We were sad to move on to the beach and leave our expert guide but if possible would request him again and again! Thank you for the best safari trip Ally (kaka)!

Once in a lifetime!
Our safari with Safari Soles Tours was exceptional. From the start, Furahini was quick to answer every question and crafted a perfect itinerary. The highlight of our trip was our guide, Cornel. He truly deserves 10 stars. As first time visitors to Tanzania, we could not have asked for a better guide. He is knowledgeable about the wildlife, people, and cultures, while also being patient, friendly, and genuinely caring. A true “human GPS” of the Serengeti, Cornel made every moment memorable. We loved our experience and will request him again for future adventures in Tanzania.

Efficient, Responsible and Friendly!
The great migration safari has been a remarkable experience.
Our contact person, Irine was very efficient. She responded to our questions quickly and tailor made the plan for us that suited our budget. She ensured that all our accommodations were well arranged in advance.
Shout out to our guide Abdul, who is professional, knowledgable and friendly. He shared a lot of knowledge about different animals with us in details and introduced their habitats. When he saw some different animals that we have never seen before, he would stop and introduce. We truly learned a lot from him.
It’s lucky that we were able to see the river crossing and all the big cats and many other animals.
Abdul is also detailed minded that he had all the meal plans arranged in advance. He also asked about our food preference and discussed with the accommodation staff who’s responsible for the meals.
Our safari was overall a smooth and memorable one. Thank you Safari Soles!

Cornel was an expert and engaging guide whose enthusiasm and insight made our safari an unforgettabl
Our safari with Safari Soles was unforgettable, thanks to our guide, Cornel. He didn’t just point out the animals—he explained their behaviors and interactions in a way that made every sighting come alive, and watching the wildlife through his eyes gave us a whole new appreciation for nature. What made the trip even more special was that between game drives, he also shared stories about the local people and culture, adding such a meaningful layer to the trip beyond the safari itself. Cornel’s knowledge, warmth, and passion made the entire experience personal, memorable, and truly one of a kind. By the end, it felt less like we had a guide and more like we were traveling with a friend who truly loves what he does. We cannot recommend Safari Soles—and especially Cornel—highly enough.
