Prior to arriving in Tanzania, Rajab was always fast in responding to inquiries. They picked up our family from the place we were staying at, and from the beginning to end - four days later - it was all smiles and positivity. We took the option of shopping before embarking on the safari itself: much recommended buying as many snacks as possible for those long drives, especially if you bring kids! Our tour guide, Patrick, took us safely through Tarangire, Ngorongoro crater, the Serengeti and Lake Manyara national parks. Patrick seemed to have a sixth sense about how and where to spot animals. Large and small. We saw more than The Big Five, lion pups, lions mating, hunting servals and cheetahs - and the tale of a leopard hiding in a tree. The accommodation throughout was exceptional, especially Eileen’s Tree top in and the sustainable glamping tent place out in the middle of the Serengeti. Every day Patrick served freshly made lunch, there was water (and a fridge, chargers and seatbelts!) on the jeep. We felt so lucky to have Patrick as a guide, and we felt safe bringing a 2.5yo and an 8yo with us (we brought our own portable car seat. Highly highly recommended!!

An Unforgettable Tanzanian Safari with Sopai Safaris
We recently completed our second safari, this time in Tanzania, and it was truly an amazing trip. Sopai Safaris, our tour operator, was excellent in all areas, providing amazing service from our initial discussions all the way through to the end of the safari.
Rajab, the owner of Sopai Safaris, told us this would be a "once-in-a-lifetime experience." While I was initially a bit skeptical—after all, it was our second safari, and we plan on many more—I have to admit, we had some truly unique and unforgettable moments that lived up to that promise. One incredible highlight was a cheetah that jumped onto the roof of our vehicle, using it as a training platform for her cub. It was an incredibly enjoyable and memorable experience!
Throughout our journey, we were struck by the sheer abundance of wildlife. We saw more lions than elephants, often encountering at least two prides per day in the Serengeti alone.
Our guide, Leo, was an exceptionally experienced and passionate guide. He clearly loves exploring the Serengeti, and several times, we found ourselves completely alone with nature and the animals, far from other tourists. He has an uncanny ability to find the best spots, giving us a high chance of seeing lions, cheetahs, and leopards.
I highly recommend Sopai Safaris as a tour operator and Leo as a guide. I'm already looking forward to planning my next safari trip with them!
