Expertly guided, personalized safaris that make every moment unforgettable.
Raymond was an outstanding safari guide! His deep knowledge of wildlife, the environment, and Maasai culture brought our trip to life. He made the experience personal, learning our safari dreams and going above and beyond to help us achieve them. We had wonderful conversations along the way, and his warmth, professionalism, and passion truly enhanced our adventure. Thanks to Raymond, our safari was unforgettable!

Incredible Experience with Shema, The Perfect Safari Guide! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
My husband and I recently traveled to Tanzania with Safari Soles to celebrate our 9-year anniversary, and our trip could not have been more perfect—primarily thanks to our amazing guide, Shema. From the moment he picked us up, Shema treated us like old friends while maintaining the highest level of professionalism. He took care of making sure every detail was in place—coordinating with the places we stayed, making sure our dietary needs were communicated to lodges and restaurants, and ensuring every part of the trip ran smoothly.
Shema is incredibly knowledgeable about both the history and current life in Tanzania, as well as the wildlife and landscapes we explored. Every drive was both fascinating and fun because of his insights and stories. He went above and beyond to make our anniversary day extra special, which meant so much to us.
We always felt completely safe in his care, even on winding, bumpy safari roads, thanks to his excellent driving skills. The jeep was always spotless, fueled, and comfortable, which made our journeys that much more enjoyable.
I know he can’t control what animals show up, but it seems like nature loves him, because his ability to show up in the right place at the right time was incredible. Not only did we show up at just the right moments, but Shema did a great job of getting us close to the animals in a safe way that also respected them in their space. I deeply appreciate his discernment with this, because there were other companies that we're getting so close that the animals were clearly feeling uncomfortable and unsafe, and I honestly feel like those guides were putting people at risk. We never felt like we “missed” anything, but also felt like we got to watch things in nature without interfering.
Safari Soles is lucky to have Shema on their team, and we feel lucky to have had him as our guide. If you’re planning a safari in Tanzania, request Shema – you’ll have the trip of a lifetime!

Experts in Creating Unforgettable Adventures
Our private safari with Safari Soles was truly unforgettable. Everything was well organized — from the safari itinerary to domestic flights and hotel transfers. The team was always available and did their best to help with any questions or issues that came up along the way.
Our guide, Banana, was absolutely exceptional. He was friendly, knowledgeable and with a very good English. His deep knowledge of the wildlife, his sharp eye for spotting animals (even from a distance!) made every game drive exciting and memorable. He was patient, professional, and truly passionate about nature and conservation.
Thanks to him, we had the rare opportunity to see all Big Five, including a black rhino, which was a dream come true. We also spotted a leopard lounging in a tree and watched a cheetah and her baby— moments we’ll never forget.
The game drives in Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Crater were incredibly well-paced and tailored to our interests. We were never rushed and had plenty of time to soak in the beauty of each location. The scenery was absolutely breathtaking, and the wildlife sightings were beyond what we had hoped for.
The accommodations arranged by Safari Soles were excellent — clean, comfortable, and in beautiful locations. The food was delicious, and the staff everywhere were welcoming and kind.
This was truly a once-in-a-lifetime adventure, made possible by the expert planning of Safari Soles and the outstanding guidance of Banana. We wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking for a high-quality, personalized safari experience in Tanzania.

Unforgettable Safari
We have just returned from the most unforgettable 8-day safari in Tanzania, beautifully organized by Safari Soles Tours. From the moment we landed until the day we flew back, everything was seamless, exciting, and filled with moments we will cherish forever.
Our guide, Tumaini, was absolutely exceptional. Friendly, patient, and deeply committed to making sure we saw as much wildlife as possible, he went above and beyond every single day. He seemed to have an incredible network of friends among other guides, always exchanging information to locate animals for us. Thanks to his dedication, we experienced unforgettable moments—including waiting over 7 hours by the river to witness the wildebeest migration crossing, a once-in-a-lifetime sight.
He was also great fun to be around, making our drives enjoyable with his humor and stories. His passion for nature and wildlife was truly inspiring, and his determination to make our trip special was evident in every decision he made.
The team at Safari Soles took care of every detail. They arranged our airport transfers, booked all our campsites, and even secured us a hot air balloon safari over the Serengeti—an experience that was nothing short of magical.
From the stunning landscapes of Tarangire, and the Ngorongoro Crater to the endless plains of the Serengeti, every destination offered its own wonders. Our accommodations struck the perfect balance between comfort and adventure, keeping us close to nature without compromising on safety or rest.
This was more than just a holiday—it was a soul-stirring journey into the heart of Tanzania’s wild beauty. We are deeply grateful to Tumaini and the Safari Soles team for giving us memories that will last a lifetime. If you’re planning a safari in Tanzania, look no further—ask for Tumaini as your guide. You’ll be in the best hands.

Dickson was so great
Dear Safari Soles,
Our group would like to leave a 5 Star review for our recent Safari trip with guide and driver Dickson. Dickson is an experienced guide and driver and it showed in his taking us to locations that had the most the animals. We were able to see 4 of the big 5. He was punctual picking us up and dropping us off at our hotels every day. We cannot praise him enough for his excellent safe driving. If he was fatigued we did not detect it at all, as he was alert even during the most dangerous rough terrains. He gave us useful information but didn’t talk too much. We would love to give him 10 stars if we could. We appreciate him so much for keeping us safe and always asking if he parked in the best position for top photos.

Excellent
I took a day trip to Tarangire park from Arusha. My tour guide was Tumain Justin with Safari Soles. He was an amazing driver and guide. He was prompt in his pickup, very friendly, and enthusiastic. He was attentive, took the time to explain points of interest. He had an excellent find of knowledge of the birds, fauna, and animals in the park. He even had a bird species book which he referred to as we saw the unique birds of the park. I appreciated his enthusiasm and kindness. I have nothing but praise for Tumain.

Jonas is an expert guide with sharp vision and a passion for unforgettable wildlife experiences.
My friend and I just returned from an unforgettable 7-day safari adventure through the Ngorongoro Crater, Tarangire National Park, and the Serengeti — and it was absolutely incredible.
While planning this trip, I reached out to over 20 different tour operators to find the perfect fit. From the very beginning, Catherine at Safari Soles stood out. She was thoughtful, patient, and incredibly responsive — and that’s coming from a New Yorker who definitely operates on a New York minute. Honestly, I think she works around the clock. She answered every question I had (and I had a lot), which gave me full confidence in choosing Safari Soles for our safari.
Our guide, Jonas (Jonathan Msabaha), was phenomenal. He was like a walking encyclopedia of all things Tanzania and wildlife, and I’m pretty sure he has 20/10 vision — he could spot animals from a mile away, without binoculars, while driving. On top of that, he tailored the experience to what we were most excited about. After learning about my love for cheetahs, he suggested a visit to the Eastern Serengeti. He warned us that there were no guarantees due to their elusive nature, but we ended up seeing over ten!
The accommodations throughout the trip were lovely. I highly recommend the Signature Serengeti Luxury Tented Safari Camp and Karatu Simba Lodge — both were comfortable, welcoming, and surrounded by nature.
I can’t recommend Safari Soles enough. What I thought would be a once-in-a-lifetime trip turned into something I’m already planning on doing again (in the hopefully near-ish future). If you’re planning a safari, go with Safari Soles — and if you can, request Jonas as your guide (though fair warning: if I’m planning a return trip at the same time, you might have to fight me for him).

A never-forgettable 6-Day Safari with Safari Soles Tours
We are a family of 4 and have just returned from the most unforgettable 6-day safari in Tanzania, perfectly organized by Safari Soles Tours. From start to finish, everything was seamless, exciting, and deeply enriching.
Our guide, Innocent, was truly outstanding. His deep knowledge of wildlife, ecosystems, and Tanzanian culture brought each day to life. He could spot animals where we saw only trees and grass, and he always made sure we were in the perfect position to witness incredible scenes.
The planning process was handled by Patrick, who was communicative, responsive, and flexible from day one. He helped tailor the itinerary to our needs and made sure we were well-informed and comfortable throughout the entire journey. From airport pickup to accommodation to meals, everything was thoughtfully arranged with military precision.
We visited Tarangire National Park, Lake Maniara, Serengeti National Park, and the Ngorongoro Crater, each destination offering its own unique landscape and wildlife.
The accommodations were beyond expectation, a balance of adventure and comfort. Clean, safe, and always with a warm welcome, they let us stay immersed in nature without sacrificing rest and relaxation.
This wasn’t just a vacation; it was a deeply moving experience that connected us with the beauty of the natural world of Tanzania in ways we’ll never forget. We can’t recommend Safari Soles Tours highly enough. If you’re considering a safari in Tanzania, look no further—ask for Innocent as your guide and Patrick to help plan your trip. You won’t regret it.
P.S: the best price out of 5 offers for the similar level of services

Incredible experience!
An unforgettable experience in Tanzania
We were fortunate enough to take a private safari through the Tarangire National Park and the Ngorongoro Crater, and it was an absolutely spectacular experience. Our guide, Sam, who spoke fluent Spanish, and our driver, Oscar, accompanied us throughout the tour. Both were incredibly kind, professional, and attentive throughout.
Sam shared a wealth of information about the local history, wildlife, and culture, which greatly enriched the trip. Thanks to his knowledge and the great teamwork with Oscar, we were able to see all the animals we dreamed of seeing, from lions and elephants to hippos and giraffes.
The entire service was impeccable: always punctual, with warm hospitality, and a comfortable, well-equipped vehicle. I highly recommend this experience. If you're considering a safari in Tanzania, don't hesitate to do it with them. An adventure of a lifetime we'll never forget!
