Safari soles was an amazing experience from beginning to end!
We booked a 3 day fly in fly out Serengeti safari and it was everything we hoped it would be! We took our kids and we all had an amazing experience. Joseph, our safari guide was incredible. He was educated about the animals and the environment. He taught us so much and we saw so many amazing animals. It was a trip of a lifetime! We would highly recommend using Safari soles to book your experience!

A reliable, stable, and responsible tour operator.
I booked my safari with this company back in May. I compared them with other tour operators, and the owner, Francisco, was my main point of contact. Before the trip, what stood out to me was his professionalism and prompt responses. Even when I frequently changed hotel preferences, he always provided updated quotes and reasonable suggestions in a timely manner.
During the trip, all the accommodations were as expected, with no last-minute changes. The vehicle was in good condition, and our guide cleaned it daily. It had air conditioning and charging ports, which was very convenient.
Our guide was slightly older but very experienced. He shared extensive knowledge about geography, culture, and wildlife, and was highly proactive in tracking animals. On the day we were looking for black rhinos, for instance, hardly any other vehicles spotted them, but our guide drove us around extensively until we finally succeeded—helping us complete the Big Five! That said, perhaps due to his personality and age, he came across as a bit more serious compared to some of the younger guides. Shyer travelers might find him a little reserved.
Overall, the safari was excellent. Everything went as smoothly as planned, with no unexpected issues—I even overheard people from other vehicles mentioning problems like vehicle breakdowns, getting lost, or even accidents. I highly recommend Lappet-faced!
By the way, I learned from our guide that the company is named after a vulture commonly found in Africa. We spotted many of them out on the plains.

Thoughtful customer service, professional tour guides, and reasonable itinerary arrangements
1.They have a dedicated Chinese-speaking sales named Yuanyuan, who is highly professional in aspects such as itinerary planning, reminder of precautions, and emergency response.
2.Albert is an extremely professional safari guide. He has received specialized training in knowledge about various animal species, enabling him to identify different types of animals promptly and quickly find the corresponding explanations in the animal handbook. He has incredibly "Eagle eyes" which allow him to spot well-hidden animals in the distance, such as cheetahs. Additionally, he has an extensive network of friends which help obtain useful information from other guides in real time, helping us catch sight of the Big Five and the "Crossing of the Mara River".
3.The itinerary arrangement for Zanzibar is also excellent. The local guide, Deco, is a wonderful person. He graduated from one of the top three universities in Tanzania and has unique insights into the local culture and history. Highly recommended.

Transparent, Flexible, Fantastic
It was a fantastic time! Everything was customised to our needs, from the time in each location, accommodation options, and our guide...everything. I especially appreciated how they conducted themselves during the sales process. I spoke with six companies, and I had the best feeling with Soul of Tanzania. Many other companies were limited to which accommodations they worked with, but SoT seemed very flexible. In fact, I accidentally booked a year ahead, and at the last minute, they reorganised the entire trip in only a day (during high season) to make it work. They were also very transparent in their pricing, which was great. I would highly recommend them.

an unforgettable experience
Our trip to Tanzania was truly an unforgettable experience, thanks to the exceptional service provided by the travel agency. Everything was perfectly organized, and we felt taken care of from beginning to end.
The accommodations exceeded all our expectations. Both Serengeti Classic View Camp and Inoga Lodge Karatu were absolutely amazing. We were warmly welcomed, the staff was incredibly kind and attentive, and the overall hospitality made us feel at home. The atmosphere, comfort, and service at these hotels were top-notch.
As for the safari, we cannot thank our guide Simon enough. He was not only very friendly and welcoming, but also extremely knowledgeable. He explained everything clearly and made sure we had the best possible experience. Thanks to his sharp eyes and experience, we were able to see all of the Big Five, as well as many cheetahs, lions, and leopards — truly breathtaking!
I highly recommend Simon as a guide and this agency to anyone planning a safari in Tanzania.
