Fantastic Safari with an extraordinary wildlife experience
Everything was perfectly organized from start to finish. The tour operator did an outstanding job, taking care of every detail and ensuring that communication was always clear, prompt, and easy.
Each day was thoughtfully planned, and our tour guide Michael consistently checked in with us to make sure we were comfortable with the itinerary and enjoying the experience. The lodges we stayed in were truly luxurious, the food was excellent throughout the trip, and we experienced no health issues at all. The staff at every location were welcoming, professional, and friendly. We had an absolutely fantastic experience and couldn’t have asked for a better trip. We will definitely be back and highly recommend this tour to others.

Professional and much caring team
Our 5 day safari organized by Sote Tours and Travel was an absolutely fantastic experience from start to finish. Before booking, I exchanged several emails with Kelvin, who answered every question in great detail and with genuine dedication. He took the time to understand exactly what we wanted and designed a trip that perfectly matched our dream itinerary: a safari combined with visits to a Maasai village and the Hadzabe community. Throughout the journey, Reuben demonstrated exceptional professionalism and care, always ensuring our safety, comfort, and peace of mind.
The safari itself exceeded all our expectations. The accommodations in Serengeti National Park and the Ngorongoro Conservation Area were far better than we had imagined, offering both comfort and an unforgettable atmosphere in the heart of nature. Our guide, Reuben, who works closely with Kelvin, was outstanding. He was kind, patient, and incredibly knowledgeable, sharing fascinating information about the wildlife and ecosystems we encountered, which made every game drive even more enriching.
One of the highlights of the trip was our visit to the Maasai village. Experiencing the traditional dances, learning how to make fire, and, most importantly, having meaningful and authentic conversations with the Maasai people made this visit truly special. Everything felt respectful, genuine, and far removed from mass tourism. I wholeheartedly recommend Sote Tours and Travel to anyone planning a safari in Tanzania, and I am especially grateful to Kelvin for creating such a memorable and perfectly organized experience.

Great company, highly recommend
I had an amazing experience with this safari company. They organized a 5 day safari to Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro crater, which are some of the most beautiful and wildlife-rich national parks in Tanzania. The itinerary was well planned and covered all the main attractions and activities in each park.
The driver guide Adam was amazing, informative, and friendly. He knew a lot about the animals, plants, and culture of the area. He also drove safely and skillfully on the rough roads. He always made sure we had the best views and opportunities to see the wildlife. We saw lions, elephants, giraffes, zebras, wildebeests, cheetahs, leopards, hippos, crocodiles, flamingos, and many more. It was a dream come true for me.
The accommodation was super b. We stayed in comfortable and clean lodges and tents with private bathrooms and hot showers. The food was delicious and varied. The staff was courteous and helpful. The views from the lodges and tents were stunning. We enjoyed watching the sunrise and sunset over the savanna and the lake.
This safari was one of the best experiences of my life. I highly recommend this company to anyone who wants to have an unforgettable adventure in Tanzania. They are professional, reliable, and affordable. Thank you for making my trip so memorable.

Unforgettable 5 Day Tanzania Safari with Expert Guidance
We thoroughly enjoyed a fabulous time in Tanzania with Sote Tours and Travel our 5 day safari was completely flawless, well-planned and made the whole trip relaxing and so much fun. Adam our driver and guide was so lovely, not only he knew a lot about the animals, but also, he was able to give us a very good idea of the local culture. He was very helpful in all aspects of travel, and a great companion as well.
In fact, this is our second safari trip as the previous one was to South Africa. However, we felt that this one in Tanzania is more spectacular. We got rushed up to the chance of seeing all the Big Five, which were a highlight for us. It was a great experience for us to see all of the Big Five animals, so after that, we consider the trip very successful indeed. Thanks a lot for the good service. I am happy to refer Sote Tours when anyone I know is in need of a Tanzania safari experience, and I will also consider using Sote Tours Services ourselves for any future trips.

Best tour company in Tanzania
This 7-day Tanzania safari experience was phenomenal. There was a fantastic itinerary that included destinations such as Tarangire National Park, Lake Manyara, the Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater and Lake Eyasi. Each location was uniquely beautiful and had many exciting wildlife surprises.
Reuben (our guide) was absolutely amazing. His knowledge about both wildlife and the national parks was outstanding, as was his uncanny ability to find animals. He also had excellent driving abilities behind the wheel of a 4×4, allowing for easy access to many spectacular viewing areas in a safe and timely manner. During this safari we were able to view many different types of animals in the wild including the Big 5 and many other varying species, including many lions with their cubs, many lions resting in trees, and lions hunting.
Our accommodations throughout the trip were also great, providing us with a comfortable place to rest and fantastic hospitality at the end of each of our park visits. Kelvin's planning and communication skills were also outstanding. He was very attentive to our needs, organized everything very well, and was always available to help us; he made the entire journey stress free and very easy for us to enjoy.
The national parks, the beautiful scenery, the amazing animals, and the wonderful people of Tanzania made this an incredible holiday that we will never forget. We want to thank Sote Tours and Travels for providing us with such an incredible safari experience.

Unforgettable Tanzania Safari – Excellent Guide and Great Organization
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
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.

A lifetime experience with an amazing Sote Tours Crew
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
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!

An incredible safari experience
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.
