Unforgettable Tanzania Safari – Excellent Guide and Great Organization
5/5

The entire event proceeded without any problems because its planning was done perfectly, which allowed me and my husband to experience the entire trip. Our guide, Michael, was a real highlight of the trip. He possessed deep understanding of both the wildlife and the parks, which he used to show us everything we encountered.

His experience and sharp eyes helped us spot so many animals, which made every game drive exciting. He established a friendly atmosphere, which enabled him to check our satisfaction throughout the entire safari experience.

The selected accommodations provided comfortable spaces, which created a well-planned itinerary that did not force us to hurry through our activities. Our safety remained intact while we received proper attention throughout our stay. Our entire safari experience proved to be extraordinary, so we recommend Sote Tours and Travel to all visitors who plan to travel to Tanzania.

Unforgettable Safari Journey with Sote Tours
5/5

Sote Tours runs solid tours throughout Tanzania. Thing is, we went to tarangire, Ngorongoro Crater, and serengeti - each place felt alive. The plan was tight but fair, no fluff at all.

They threw in the mto wa Mbu Bike Tour too - a real change of pace. Riding through dusty paths, we met farmers and elders. Saw things you don't get from a bus ride. And communication? Top tier. They answered queries fast, kept us updated, never missed a beat during setup.

Our guide Reuben Pure gold. He didn't just show animals; he pointed out birds that flew past silently. That kind of insight changes how you see the land.

We're not going back without recommending them flat-out. If you're into authentic travel in Tanzanie, this is where to start.

Excellent safari experience
5/5

The 6 day safari we took with Sote Tours and Travel ended up being an excellent experience throughout the entire duration of the trip. The team executed all aspects of their work through their systematic approach to organizing everything which included their execution of their travel schedule.

The guide Moses showed expertise through his professional conduct while ensured our comfort during the entire journey. The wildlife show became the main attraction of the event. We were fortunate enough to see the Big Five which made the safari experience completely unforgettable. The different landscapes which we encountered each day together with the exceptional wildlife sightings created a display of natural beauty.

The entire journey proceeded without problems while I experienced fun activities that surpassed my initial expectations. I would highly recommend Sote Tours and Travel to anyone looking for a well-organized and memorable safari experience.

Excellent service, very friendly, caring and polite.
5/5

Sote Tours and Travel provided an incredible Kilimanjaro experience from start to finish. The planning process was very easy and organized, and the staff was responsive to all my questions and provided support to us during the entire trip. Before starting my trek, I had a pre-trek meeting at the hotel with Kelvin to discuss our trek and continue checking on me throughout my trip.

Our guides Seba and Charles were both knowledgeable, professional, and very supportive, especially during some of the more difficult sections of the trek. They were great ambassadors for their country and provided us with culturally relevant insights throughout our trip. They were very strict in watching our health references and at the same time they kept the spirit up in difficulty times. The porters worked hard on the task, literally carrying most of the things, preparing the camping area, and generally ensuring that everything we needed was ready when we arrived at camp.

The food served during the trek was plentiful and fresh and was very diverse for a high-altitude expedition. Climbing Uhuru Peak was an exhilarating accomplishment to achieve, but without the Sote Tours staff's dedication, teamwork, and professionalism, we would not have reached such a monumental achievement. Overall, I would highly recommend Sote Tours and Travel for one of the best organized trekking experiences as well as having the most reliable and supportive staff to ensure a very successful trek to the summit of Africa.

A lifetime experience with an amazing Sote Tours Crew
5/5

Our outstanding trip through Tanzania with Sote Tours reached its best point. The entire trip from Kilimanjaro climbing to Serengeti safari exceeded our expectations because of its perfect arrangements. The mountain team led by James demonstrated their exceptional abilities through their professional behavior and their ability to energize us with their enthusiastic support. Their expertise combined with their deep concern for us made our ascent to the summit an extraordinary summit experience. 
 
Reuben our safari guide demonstrated his exceptional abilities through his deep wildlife knowledge and his ability to observe small details and his commitment to the parks which led us to experience both exceptional wildlife sightings and smooth park operations. The team managed operational challenges caused by unanticipated weather conditions through their rapid response which maintained our scheduled activities. 
 
The service provided good value because all transfers arrived on time and the accommodations matched our expectations. Sote Tours provides the ideal combination of dependable service and professional staff which creates an extraordinary experience for both Kilimanjaro climbing and safari tours.

Excellence, kindness, professionalism. Feel like home
5/5

Sote Tours organized an amazing week-long safari for us, and we are very pleased with the outcome. Everything went according to plan from start to finish. Michael, our guide was amazing! He was polite, knowledgeable, and more than friendly. He constantly helped make us feel at ease and was always aware of what we needed.

Throughout the trip, the staff was very prompt, courteous, and very attentive to any requests we may have had.
One of the best parts of our safari was that we were able to see so many of the Big Five, which was an unforgettable experience in and of itself and made every moment memorable.

Thank you very much for allowing us to have a wonderful experience on our travels it has truly been the most enjoyable part of our lives, and I wish we could go back!
Leslie!!!

An incredible safari experience
5/5


This was a once in a lifetime experience, comprised of a 7 day/6 night safari through Tarangire, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro Crater. Reuben was our guide and provided us with the best experience. Along with his extensive knowledge, he was also very friendly and patient in making sure we were able to see all of the animals and to have great photos, by positioning us at the correct spot to get our picture taken. I saw much more than I expected and did so at much closer distances than I expected. I rarely used the binoculars; he would often be like the one taking the photos rather than me using my camera.

We always felt secure, even when the driving conditions were difficult because of the rain during rainy season. The game drives were long, but I felt like my safari experience exceeded my expectations and we made the most of our time spent in Africa. I would highly recommend this adventure to anyone.

Summitted Kilimanjaro via Marangu and Excellent Safari in 4 Days
5/5

We have had an incredibly memorable experience on this tour with Sote Tours and Travel. Our trip included a six-day climb along the Marangu route up Mount Kilimanjaro, as well as four days of safari visiting Tarangire, Ngorongoro, and Serengeti National Parks.

The only way we were able to reach the summit of Mt. Kilimanjaro was because of the support we received from the whole team. I would like to send out a special thanks to our main guide, Sebastian, and our assistant guide Michael, for all of their help and support during our climb - the summit push was much more difficult than I thought it would be; with their help and encouragement we were able to make it successfully. The crew treated us like we were family and we are very grateful for all they did for us. The last day of our trip and safari ended on a very high note! I strongly encourage anyone looking to go on an adventure in Tanzania to use Sote Tours and Travel to help you.

Luxury, Wildlife, and Wonder in Tanzania
5/5

We were four friends went safari this time with Sote Tours and Travel company we decided to book our trip through a local agency. I would rate this safari company one of the best in Moshi. Kelvin who served as our tour coordinator helped us with choosing accommodations and gave us guidance about suitable national parks to visit for 10 day. The price offered us was affordable compared with other agencies.

We express our gratitude for arranging Mr. Shirima to return as our guide. It was such a pleasure to be with him and all the considerable knowledge he brought to our safari tour. The experience felt similar to spending time with someone who has been my friend for a long time.

It was a very fortunate experience; we were able to observe several remarkable things in nature, including the 'Big Five' animals, specifically a leopard. With the professional skill and dedication of our guide, we also had an opportunity to view a rhino as well. Additionally, having our bush lunch on the Serengeti was a once-in-a-lifetime event. One of the best experiences is that we did hot air balloon rides what an incredible service! The ride was very well orchestrated; the views were breathtaking and the breakfast in the bush was phenomenal.

Sote Tours and Travel provides customized safari packages which I recommend for people who plan to go on safaris. You should request Shirima as your guide because he possesses extensive knowledge about animals and plants and their natural environments. We want to express our gratitude to you for creating special memories during our vacation.
