Humble, professional tour operator who truly cared and ensured a smooth, memorable experience.
Had a wonderful experience on my Masai Mara jungle safari. The trip was well organized, and the wildlife sightings were incredible. A special thanks to our wonderful and enthusiastic guide, whose knowledge, energy, and passion made the adventure even more memorable. Highly recommended!!!
A Once-in-a-Lifetime Safari Experience with Exceptional Guides
Our safari exceeded every expectation. Duncan, our driver and guide, was absolutely phenomenal. His knowledge, expertise, and passion were evident every step of the journey, and he made the experience so much more meaningful. We walked away not only with incredible memories, but also with a deeper appreciation and understanding of the culture, wildlife, and country itself.
Every driver for our group - Duncan, Sam, and Nick - was communicative, professional, friendly and incredibly accommodating to any requests we had throughout the trip. The level of service, attention to detail, and genuine care for guests made us feel comfortable and well taken care of from start to finish.
This was truly a lifetime experience for the books, and one that we will cherish forever. I would highly recommend Savannah Sound Safaris to anyone considering a safari adventure, and I would not hesitate to book with them again in the future.

Nic was the absolute best driver safe, funny, and went above and beyond for my family!
Our driver, Nic (Nicholas), was absolutely amazing from day one! He is incredibly friendly, has a great sense of humor, and kept us feeling safe throughout the entire journey. Since I was traveling with my family, I deeply appreciated the extra measures he took to ensure everyone was comfortable and attended to. He anticipated our every need and truly made our trip special. Nic is simply the best thank you so much!

Excellent experience. Months in advance, we planned a route together with Dan. He's very helpful
Obviously, spending time with a family of gorillas was spectacular, but so were the chimpanzees.

This operator is professional, attentive and trustworthy beyond words
I cannot praise this East Africa local ground team enough for organizing our dream safari across Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Masai Mara. Every single detail was carefully planned in advance; communication was clear and quick long before we arrived in Africa.
Our dedicated guide is the highlight of the whole trip. With decades of experience on the savanna, he could spot hidden predators long before other vehicles. He explained every species’ living habits, local tribal history and conservation work vividly, bringing the wild grassland to life. He maintained safe driving at all times, respected wildlife distance rules, and always put our comfort first. Whether we wanted to chase migration herds or pause for sunset sundowners, he adjusted plans willingly.
All camps and lodges selected by the team matched our budget and preferences perfect...

Trustworthy and efficient.
Hi Wildeebeast. We don't usually leave reviews but the people of Tanzania and all your team have won over our hearts and provided an exceptional customer focused service going above and beyond.
All of our holiday itinerary was well organised. Erick was professional, kept us informed, answered all of our questions leading up to the holiday and in person is very friendly.
Hasheem one of our guides for the day was impeccable at his job, a credit to the company, to the people of Tanzania, showing genuine passion, kaka Joel and Madadi too!
The biggest thank you to our tour guide John who kept us comfortable, did not rush us and was very patient with us when my Malkia felt ill requiring later starts, multiple breaks and the itinerary rescheduling. You'll miss out if your safari isn't assisted by John.
Best price sought and being a newer company they really care - thank you Wildeebeast

If you want the real safari experience book with Sox
My partner and I (both in our 30s) recently finished a 6 day trip with Sox and it really was such a special experience.
Sox was an exceptional guide throughout our six days in Botswana. His local knowledge is unmatched, and he’s also a fantastic travelling companion. With his help, we saw an incredible range of wildlife, including cheetahs, wild dogs, lions, hippos and buffalo, as well as hundreds of elephants, giraffes and other plains game.
His colleagues, Maps and Obs, were equally impressive – providing outstanding support, preparing fantastic meals for breakfast, lunch and dinner, and setting up excellent campsites each day. How Maps prepared a three course meal each night on those camp stoves is beyond me.
We transferred onto Victoria Falls afterwards and Sox made sure to connect us with the team before our transfer so it all worked seamlessly as we had a flight that same afternoon.
Botswana itself is an extraordinary country, and we’re already planning to return to explore the Kalahari (hopefully with Sox again). We would wholeheartedly recommend travelling with him to anyone looking to experience the real Botswana.

A Faultless Introduction to Tanzania — Safari Soles come Highly Recommended
Safari Soles crafted the perfect short itinerary for anyone wanting a genuine flavour of Tanzania, and from start to finish it was an utterly faultless experience.
At the heart of our trip was Chedi, quite simply an outstanding guide. His knowledge goes far beyond the Big Five, and he was equally at home identifying birds and explaining the flora of each ecosystem we passed through, bringing the landscape to life in a way that made every moment of the drive genuinely fascinating. His driving was skilled and instinctive too, consistently positioning us for the best possible wildlife encounters while always maintaining a respectful distance from the animals. That balance is harder to strike than it looks, and Chedi got it right every time.
The itinerary took us through three spectacular ecosystems: Lake Manyara, Tarangire National Park and the Ngorongoro Crater, each strikingly different, and each given the time it deserved. Full-length game drives with picnic lunches in the bush were a particular highlight. There's something special about eating out in the open with the sounds of the park around you, and it meant we never had to cut a drive short at a crucial moment.
The lodges were superb, and we were welcomed at every stop by warm, enthusiastic staff who made us feel genuinely looked after. Customer service was excellent throughout, attentive without being intrusive, and always one step ahead.
If you're considering Tanzania and want a brilliantly organised trip with a guide who will genuinely elevate your experience, look no further than Safari Soles. We couldn't recommend them more highly.
