The Perfect Family Getaway in Zanzibar
5/5

From the booking to the service we received during our stay simply brilliant. They answered to emails very fast, supported us in the organization of the a la carte meal and even informed us with some advices. They were accommodating, professional, and extremely friendly.

Our guide Said was very experienced, Flexible (we were traveling with two little kids), accommodating to changes because of the weather and finally (and not in any way lesser than) always smiling. The transport was clean, secure and flexible. Our driver Joseph was excellent also.

On the whole, I was quite happy. I strongly recommend Sote Tours.

Kindness and professionalism
5/5

During our six days safari in Tanzania, we visited Lake Manyara National Park, Tarangire, Ngorongoro, and Central Serengeti, we had an amazing time with Michael, our driver and guide. Planning was greatly aided by Kelvin, and everything went as planned. We got up close and personal with every animal, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. Additionally, it was good to see that Michael was abiding by the wilderness regulations by not going off-road in areas where it was prohibited.

Brilliant Kilimanjaro and Safari adventure with Sote Tours
5/5

I really wanted to say good things about Sote Tours, but it just wasn't enough! They were great to work with! Before our trip, the communication and the flexibility were perfect. They had great prep materials to complete the trek successfully. When we arrived, everything was planned to the smallest detail and on time. They were really nice people, and through both the Kilimanjaro trekking and safari, they gave us a world class experience. We found that the value for the price was very good, the food and accommodations were fantastic! I am sure that I will be going back, and I will definitely be using the Sote Tours team for my next adventures in Tanzania!

Top recommendation for a highly professional, local travel agency
5/5

We are just back from an amazing trip (24 December 2025 to 02 January 2026). We made a tailor, made trip to Tanzania with Sote Tours and Travel. When we first spoke to Kelvin, we were sure we had made the right decision. Kelvin really helped us decide on the right places to go.

The choice of safari lodges was superb and at each place we felt very comfortable. Our guide "Godee" is the one, whom we want to especially mention, who at his young age is probably already a "veteran" of the guides. On many occasions he went off the beaten track and then led us to perfect game, viewing spots all by himself. Moreover, he was a very careful driver and we always felt totally safe with him in the SUV. We never thought we could look at the animals from such a short distance!

In general, it was a memory world trip and we thank the whole Sote Tours team for being part of our journey! Asante sana Sote Tours team.

Well organized, friendly and knowledgeable. Unforgettable experience
5/5

Our tour in Tanzania was amazing. The tour guided by Michael was very friendly and knowledgeable. He shared such an abundance of interesting facts about the animals and even went the extra mile to make our time enjoyable and to show us as many animals as possible he was great in practice, punctual, and made us feel at home.

I strongly recommend Sote Tours and Travel as your safari booking agent.

Sote Tours and Travel is a local company that goes above and beyond!
5/5

We had such an amazing time. Everything was very well planned, even the transfer at the beginning and the departure after the tour. Reuben was very thoughtful and made sure he could always meet our orders. We were fortunate to spot many giraffes, elephants, lions and a lot of other animals, a beautiful experience that I strongly advise everyone to try visiting Ngorongoro, Tarangire and Serengeti.

We were also accompanied by another guide, Said, with whom we got a chance to do some extra excursions in Zanzibar. He was always very helpful, efficient, and kind, and we felt completely at ease with him. It is an experience we would confidently recommend and happily repeat.
Besides that, we had dinner with Kelvin, the head of the company, who gave us the chance to find out more about the local area, how the safaris are organized, and their general philosophy in short, we recommend this company without any doubt.

Professional, friendly, and knowledgeable
5/5

We were most impressed with Sote Tours for the exceptional safari experience they provided. Prior to the trip, Sote Tours' staff had excellent communication with us and did an outstanding job organizing our safari. Their guide was highly knowledgeable, very personable, and very professional. Our safari experience far exceeded our expectations, and we will have no hesitation to recommend Sote Tours to anyone and to book another safari with them in the future.

The Safari of Our Dreams – Perfect in Every Way
5/5

We had a wonderful time with Sote Tours who arranged our entire trip in a very professional and dependable manner. There was great communication with them from the beginning and they took care of all the logistics that we could fully relax and have fun. We also liked their tips and support whenever we needed it.

It was an interesting and cultural introduction to our trip when we did a guided walk to a waterfall and experienced the process of making coffee in a local way prior to our safari. What a nice way to start our adventure in Tanzania.

Our safari was a seven, day adventure through Tarangire National Park, Serengeti National Park, and Ngorongoro Crater, each presenting magnificent wildlife and scenery. With our amazing guide Reuben, we had the luck to see all of the Big Five as well as cheetahs, lions, and a leopard. Reubens knowledge, his driving skills, and his keen eye for spotting animals contributed greatly to our safari and our adventures were more thrilling.

We were very satisfied with the choice of accommodations made by Sote Tours as they were very comfortable and everything worked out perfectly during the whole trip. We went to Zanzibar after the safari, which was just as well planned and a wonderful.

Great service, great company and guide
5/5

Our trip to Tanzania with Sote Tours and Travel was really great. Sote Tours and Travel is a good company that takes care of everything. They got back to us away whenever we had a question, which made our whole trip to Tanzania with Sote Tours and Travel very easy and relaxing from the beginning to the end. We had a time on our Tanzania trip, with Sote Tours and Travel.

Our guide, Michael " The Champion” was really great. He is a funny guy and he made us laugh a lot during the trip. This made every day happy and fun. We traveled far but we never felt tired. Michael was very thoughtful. He never bothered us when we were resting. He always made sure that we were comfortable.

I have to say Michael was really good at guiding us. He kept an eye out for animals. Took us to see them right away. We got to see lions, leopards, cheetahs and even their cubs because of him. Michael had a sense of direction so he never got us lost. He always found the way to get us close, to the big cats.

I highly recommend Sote Tours and Travel to anyone planning a safari in Tanzania. An unforgettable experience from a company and guide you can truly rely on.
