Wonderful
We had an amazing Safari! Our guide Christian was awesome, and we really enjoyed our time with him. He is funny, friendly, and has an amazing ability to spot animals. On our four day safari we saw all of the big five thanks to Christian! We definitely recommend Safari Soles, and we especially recommend Christian as the best guide we could have asked for!

Outstanding
Wow we have just returned back from an 8 day Safari with Safari Soles. Including Nautu, Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater The trip was absolutely faultless from start to finish Safari Soles went above and beyond.
The accommodation was outstanding. We stayed in Tented Lodges throughout the trip. All very clean and tidy. Staff were very accommodating. They all have their own Chef and the food was amazing. Plenty of choice.
We had a cooked lunch everyday as a picnic out in the bush served by our guide which was amazing. Saved you driving back to the Lodge.
Also served with wine and beers.
But what made the trip extra special was our Safari Guide Mandela. He was amazing! Very professional and experienced. We saw Lions, Cheetahs, Leopards, Elephants, Zebras, Giraffes, Rhinos, Wildebeests, Hippos, Hyenas and the list goes on. He knew exactly where to be in the right place and the right time keeping a safe distance from the animals. We are both into photography so we were very fortunate to get some amazing photos. Mandela was very patient and waited so we could see the animals move. Especially the Lions as they like to sleep.
We have previously done Safaris with different guides in Kenya but no one was as good as Mandela. He honestly made the trip.
Thank you Mandela and Safaris Soles we will be booking again.
Phenomenal
Are you overwhelmed by the number of apparently excellent choices of safari companies in Tanzania? I was, and I hope this review helps, because we could not possibly have been happier with our choice of Safari Soles. Jackson organized the trip and responded graciously and patiently to my many questions and when we had to change the timing and length of our safari twice. He is simply excellent at his job. All the accommodations were exceptional, and everywhere we stayed, we were greeted with smiles, friendly greetings, warm towels, and cold drinks. The service and personnel were uniformly warm and friendly everywhere. We especially loved the Masek Tented Lodge where we were escorted to and from our tents at night by Maasai warriors who made sure we were safe from the hippos that wander amongst the tents at night. But our highest praise of the trip must go to our excellent guide, Christian. He is friendly, professional, kind, and funny with an infectious laugh. He has a seemingly encyclopedic knowledge of the areas we visited and the animals we saw, and we saw so many! Not only did we see the Ugly Five and the Big Five, but Christian found us 6 rhinos in one day, both white and black! This was all in a four-day safari. Everyone I mentioned this to in Tanzania said this is very unusual and reflects an exceptionally skilled guide, but we knew that from watching him firsthand. Christian found three of the 6 rhinos with his bare eyes while driving through the densely thicketed and forested areas in the Ngorogoro Crater. It was unbelievable. Even once he stopped the jeep, it took us at least 5 minutes and high-powered binoculars to see what he saw with his bare eyes. He is also a skilled driver, which you'll come to appreciate on the bumpy and sometimes muddy roads and off-roads. But most of all, it was Christian's warmth and kindness that touched us all. The women in our group all welled up when we had to say goodbye and the men agreed they felt they'd made a true friend. He gave us all the experience of a lifetime.

Safari Soles gave us an unforgettable safari experience in Tanzania
We went on a calf season safari for a week in mid-January 2026, just the two of us. We had a blast. The Safari Soles team were amazing from booking to end.
They tailor-made the trip to suit our schedule and preferences. Our booking contact was Oken Alick, who was extremely reactive and serviceable.
The accommodations were confortable and perfectly organized.
And our driver, Dixon, was amazing: not only is he pleasant and fun, but he was extremely efficient at finding the best sights for seeing animals, often at close sight and alone. We saw countless animals and stunning scenes.
I highly recommend Safari Soles and would definitely do another safari with them in the future.

Unforgettable Honeymoon Safari Experience with Safari Soles
We had an absolutely incredible experience with Safari Soles, and we couldn’t recommend them highly enough. From the very beginning, the team was extremely responsive and flexible, thoughtfully tailoring our safari to match our interests and pace. Everything went off seamlessly, which made the entire experience feel effortless and stress-free.
This safari was part of our honeymoon, and Safari Soles truly went above and beyond to make us feel celebrated and special throughout the trip. A huge thank-you to Furahini, our tour operator, who did a phenomenal job organizing every detail and showed genuine care when one of us became sick and needed to go to the hospital. Having that level of support in an unfamiliar place meant the world to us.
Our guide, Abdul, was exceptional. His deep knowledge of the parks, wildlife, and local culture greatly enriched our experience. He was incredibly friendly, accommodating, and professional, and he made sure every day of the safari ran smoothly. We enjoyed all of the picnics and time spent in conversation on our drives – we learned so much from him and always felt well taken care of.
Overall, if you’re considering a safari in Tanzania, choose Safari Soles and ask for Abdul as your guide. They helped make our honeymoon unforgettable, and we’ll cherish these memories forever!

A tear jerking experience
Have just finished our 5 day safari with Safari Soles & can honestly say it was one of the best experiences of our lives. I booked the holiday on a whim for my husband and I not knowing too much of the ins and outs of doing a safari, we didn’t have too much time to do one, only 5 days. However from the moment of booking to the end of our trip they curated everything perfectly to meet our budget & timeframe. We saw the Big 5 and couldn’t believe how many animals we saw each day, every day provided something different and the scenery was just something else. It was so special on our last day that i even cried whilst watching 10 elephants happily grazing in the Ngorongoro crater during sunrise. I want to put a special mention to our wonderful guide Christian, he was the perfect tour guide, calm, funny, informative & kind. Asante Chris for giving us the best experience which we will never forget. Highly reccomend!!!

Unforgettable safaris with expert guides & patient service.
We had an unforgettable 4-day safari with Safari Soles covering the Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, and Tarangire National Park. Our guide, Christian, was absolutely excellent — experienced, patient, and genuinely passionate about wildlife.
At the start of our journey, he asked what animals we hoped to see. I mentioned the Big Five and the Ugly Five, and to our delight, we managed to spot them all! My favourite part was definitely Ngorongoro Crater — the scenery felt almost surreal, and we witnessed so much wildlife action there.
Our accommodation was just as memorable. The Serena Safari Lodge overlooking the crater offered spectacular views, while the Safari Haven Camp had a magical atmosphere — we spent the evening by the campfire under the stars with zebras wandering nearby.
Christian made the experience even more special. He never spoiled surprises, stayed patient and enthusiastic throughout, and even though we saw thousands of zebras and wildebeest the next day, he kept the same sense of wonder throughout the trip. I’ll never forget our peaceful lunch stops under acacia trees, surrounded by nature.
A huge thank you also to Happiness, our tour operator, who organized everything perfectly and was so accommodating with our date changes.
It was truly a once-in-a-lifetime safari experience, and we’re so glad we chose Safari Soles. Highly recommended!

Amazing Staff, can’t wait to use them again.
Can’t speak highly enough about Safari Soles, as they planned an amazing trip of a Lifetime for or family of four. From the transportation, to the activities, to The migration camps, we enjoyed everything. All of the food was delicious, the service impeccable, and the people of Tanzania are so special. The staff of Safari Soles took care of everything. Staring with Douglas in the office who would answer all of our many questions, sometimes at crazy hours with the time difference. Then we met Eric, our driver to and from Nairobi to Arusha, who is friendly and knowledgeable. And lastly, the best Safari guide ever is Innocent. He knew so much about the animals, he always placed the jeep in the best location for viewing and photography. We will never forget this trip and thank Safari Soles for a job well done..

Responsive, friendly staff and super experienced local guides from pre to post sales
I started enquiring for Jan2026 7-day Tanzania Safari trip back in Aug2025 to a few tour operators. The pricing from Safari Soles was very reasonable for the level of service and was comparable with other quotes received. The sales staff Boniface was very friendly, responsive in addressing all concerns from itinerary customisation, payment till pick up arrangement.
Day1: Frank was the driver picking us up from the airport and toured us around the city before checking in Arusha Farmhouse. At the farmhouse, we had great time with Richard and few staff who toured us the coffee plantation and let us experienced the coffee processing, roasting, pounding and brewing in the African way!
Day2-7: Elias was our Safari Guide. He was super experience and passionate in finding the big cats and other animals in the bush, and sharing the knowledge about the culture, animals and the ecosystem. There was a day where few jeeps were searching for leopard but no avail. Elias traced up to a hyena who was devouring the food and found the leopard nearby! Instead of following, he predicted the animal’s next move and always got us the best spot for phototaking.
Day7: On the last day of our trip, we visited the Hadzabe and Datoga tribe, Alex joined in as our trip guide. He was amazing with vast knowledge on Hadzabe culture. He speaks the tribe language and knows the tribe people very well, even helped to spot the animals down. It was so much fun and great cultural experience!
Thank you Safari Soles for the unforgettable Safari experience!
