It was an amazing experience!
Preparation of the Safari: The communication with Rajab - while we were still in Germany - before the Tour started was extremely professional and quick. He responds within minutes and always had an answer to our questions. The booking process was easy, we could choose between several options for the national parks we wanted to see. He even arranged a Sim Card for our arrival.
Arrival in Arusha: the evening we arrived in our hotel Rajab was already there. He gave us a detailled briefing for the Safari. He double checked the National Parks we wanted to visit and the accomodations that go with it.
The Safari: No words can describe that experience! Rajab was already waiting in the hotel lobby in the Morning. He introduced us to our guide David. There was not a single boring moment during our 4 days Safari. David knows everything about the Parks and animals! He gave us detailled information and fun facts about the animals. He is experienced and has a perfect sense for finding animals. Because of that there were several moments of us being alone within metres of wild animals without other safari cars around. He is very client orientated and makes sure to find the perfect angle for you to take pictures (he is a hobby photographer so he knows which angles are needed). We saw all of the big 5 (plus many many other animals of course)! He even found a leopard on a tree very close to us in Lake Manyara National Park - very rare and an unforgettable moment! David always stays near a sighting until you are finished enjoying the moment. On the way between parks and lodges he shares funny and interesting stories, making sure there is no dull moment.
We took the route: Tarangire - Ngorogoro - Serengeti - Lake Manyara. We can recommend each park, as they are all very different from each other.
David made sure that we take a break whenever we needed one and the Lunch at the picknick sites always constisted of several options (also veggie) which were all really good! Also David is a safe driver who is willing to adjust to the client.
Accomodation: we had a 4 Day Safari. The first night we stayed at Farm of Dreams Lodge in Karatu. It is unbeliebably beatiful! The service is perfect and there is a special welcome service. If you are lucky you might see a Group performing local dances and songs. The rooms are luxurious and the food is delicious!
The second night we stayed at Signature Serengeti. It is a tented camp in the heart of the Serengeti. The tents look more like houses than tents, due to them being huge. The room is spacious and the bathroom as well. There is hot water and electricity available. At night you can hear lions roar and hiyanas sing, which makes for a great concert and an unforgettable experience! The crew makes sure that wild animals don't enter the camp. The food was very tasty and the crew always makes sure that you are well! And dont worry: there is running water and private washrooms with water toilets :)
The third night we stayed at Farm of Dreams again.
After the Safari: David made sure we leave on time to catch our flight from JRO airport. We met with Rajab on the way there who followed up and made sure everything was to our satisfaction.
All in all it the Safari was an amazing experience! The price was more than fair for a private tour which includes the safari, accomodations and 3 meals per day. There is also a fridge in the car which is filled with water and soda which is also included in the price.
Rajab, David and the crews at the lodges are professional and provide the best service you can imagine. If you plan to visit Tanzania for a Safari make sure to go with Sopai! 10/10 experience and special thanks to Rajab and David!

Unforgettable experience with wonderful tour guide
My husband and I booked our 4-day safari at Sopai and it was honestly the best decision. Booking went very smoothly and Rajab answered all of our questions within shortest time (communication mainly via WhatsApp which made it so easy). From the beginning we felt in good hands. We told Rajab which places we would like to visit and the safari route was then planned according to our wishes.
Our route was the following:
1. Tarangire National Park
2. Ngorongoro Crater & Serengeti
3. Serengeti National Park
4. Lake Manyara
Sopai showed very high flexibility in terms of pick-up place and place for ending the tour.
Preparation:
Rajab gave us detailed information on the safari tour + accommodation options already prior to our arrival in Tanzania. When we finally arrived in our hotel in Arusha Rajab was already waiting for us to give us a warm welcome & a brief introduction. We were told once again about the route and about the exact lodge names.
Safari:
Our safari guide David made this experience so valuable and special and I‘m so happy that he shared his knowledge and so many stories with us on the road. He has an incredibly vast knowledge about the animals, landscape and in general about Tanzania. We had very interesting conversations and luckily we were able to see so many animals within these 4 days.
[We saw 2 leopards & one of them was completely visible in Lake Manyara National Park, how rare is that?!]. David really knows about his profession and handles everything very patiently. He has a very good eye for upcoming special moments with the animals and handles the traffics in the National Parks very smoothly.
David was very eager to fulfill our wishes and cared a lot about our well-being.
Lodges:
We stayed at The Farm of Dreams Lodge during the 1st and 3rd night. This lodge is built up like a little village with many luxury lodges. Really wonderful accommodation with very friendly service. They have a pool, bar and a restaurant where we had our breakfast and dinner.
For the 2nd night we stayed at Signature Seregenti in a tented camp which was really the best glamping experience I could have ever asked for. It is a huge tent with private washroom and shower area. Very welcoming team and just a great experience to be so close to the animals. You can hear the lions and hyanas in the night and in the evening when we went for dinner, the staff showed us a herd of zebras passing by. This was really breathtaking.
Both accommodations were very clean.
Food:
Both in the accommodations and during safari we were offered very delicious and healthy food with huge variety. During safari we always had our lunch at a picnic site in one of the national parks. It consisted always of a salad option, a veggie option and then a meat option + some carbs like pasta, rice, etc. In the accommodations the food was very good, too. It‘s usually an open buffet where you can get what you want. But here again, healthy & freshly cooked with lot‘s of veggie options so that everyone is happy.
Pricing:
Compared to other safari tour providers Sopai‘s price is very appropriate. The service, safety, accommodations and the food are completely worth the price.
All in all 10/10 experience. Sopai is very trustworthy and reliable and consists of a great team. If you are thinking about booking a safari, I would really recommend to go with Sopai. I would for sure choose them again.
Thanks again to Raj and David for making our journey so special and treating us so well.

Awsome. Unforgetable. …… the organisation was excellent, everything went smoothly without any problems. They picked us at the airport and the first thing we saw was a really BIG SMILE on Stevens face- you cant beat that smile. The guide Joseph on the safari was super nice and had great knowledge of the area so we saw everything possible. Too many things to describe , but there are not enough words. And the food was amazing. Highly recommend .it. It is a good value for money

Arzoni Africa Safaris is a professional company
Arzoni Africa Safaris is a professional tour company with a dedicated dedicated staff. Caren was always there to help us plan our trip and went out of her way to get our visas approved. Despite our flights to Kenya being cancelled at the last minute, she still managed to communicate and convince the hotels to reschedule our dates. Our guide was John, a local Masai who understands his job and very kind.
We highly recommend Arzoni Africa Safaris to anyone planning to visit Kenya and East Africa.
