Very beautiful experience
Everything went very well from the beginning to the end.
We had a very good time with Elias. He was very friendly and professional. He was always available, organized everything for us and made sure we were having a good time. Thanks to him we could see a lot of animals and even the big 5. It was very nice to have a french speaker person to explain to us the wonders of Tanzania! Thanks again to him and to you for your availability, your hard work and your responsiveness to our messages.
We also really appreciated the choices of lodges we had. All were very cleaned, beautiful and with a very kind satff. The food was always very tasty. For the lunches, it was very good to have a hot meal instead of sandwiches.

Fantastic Safari!
Our safari with Safari Soles was amazing! Innocent, our guide, was fantastic—so knowledgeable and friendly.
We saw a cheetah eating a gazelle, which was incredible. We also spotted beautiful leopards and over 30 lions, including two adorable cubs.
Innocent's skill in finding wildlife and sharing information made the trip unforgettable.
Highly recommend Safari Soles for an incredible Tanzanian safari!

Unforgettable Experience
An absolutely unforgettable experience! From our first contact with Happiness and the thorough organisation and customisation of all the details of our trip, to the last day of our Safari with Abdul, everything was just perfect! Thank you!!!
Abdul made every day on the safari truly unforgettable for us. He’s so talented and very experienced and had a unique instinct for where to go in the park to spot the animals (many times he would also see things before us when we were using binoculars…!). He would also always give us all options available and let us decide what we wanted to do, even if it meant an extra trip or longer day for all of us (for example he was willing to drive an extra hour to show us the leopard even though he could have just called it a day as it was getting late…). He also taught us a lot about Tanzania and the parks and culture, and it was a perfectly well rounded experience because of him. Thank you mate! Fully recommend.

Great experience with Safari Soles, highly recommended
Had a great experience in Tanzania thanks to Safari Soles. They organized everything beautifully and efficiently. Innocent was a great contact, he helped plan a great itinerary and accommodated us whenever we had a change. When there were any external issues, like flight delays, they were quick to resolve them. Our accommodations were great as well.
Our game drive guide Erick was absolutely amazing. He was very knowledgeable on where to go to find animals, even the hard to find ones. Thanks to him, we got to see many animals in close proximity and he really went the extra mile for us. The safari overall was a fantastic experience.
Highly recommend Safari Soles to anyone who plans to visit Tanzania.

Very professional - perfect
Firstly, the communication from day 1 was excellent. Professional, knowledgeable and fast. Happiness was our contact and she was excellent (faultless) throughout. Everything was arranged so we just had to get to Arusha and then everything was taken care of until the return flight out. Our driver Oscar was also excellent - very calm, knowledgeable and professional.
The lodges were great - they offer options depending on where you want to visit - and the whole experience perfect for what we wanted.
Would definitely recommend and use again.
I also forgot a pair of shorts in the last lodge and Happiness made sure they were on a flight the next day and I collected in Zanzibar - going over and above.

A group of professionals working to give you the best experience!
We had a fantastic experience with Safari Souls! Our safari guide Patrick is extremely knowledgeable about the animals and their habitat. The guides in this group really care about all tourists and share the information with each other as soon as they see any elusive animals/animal behaviour. Our other drivers Andrew and Chief have also been very attentive and made our city and mountain tour memorable!
Safari Souls is very professional and were very helpful with our lost luggage (long story and I recommend avoiding Kenya Airways if you can). One of our best holidays even though we had to deal with not having the equipment we specially bought for this safari trip and had to wear the same clothes for 4 days!

Laurent is incredible. He is patient, organized, flexible, communicative, and kind
Laurent created an unbelievable adventure that involved four people arriving and leaving at different times and having the experiences we each hoped for in Tanzania. My trip started two nights in Dar Es Salaam then a flight to Kigmoa and a boat ride to Gombe National Park. The lodging in Gombe was stunning and the chimpanzee trek was dreamy! Next he organized for our group to meet in Arusha. Then came a flight for a party of four to the Serengeti to start a five day safari. Our driver, Abduly, was amazing! His knowledge of the animals and the environment was incredible! He knew the name of every mammal, bird, reptile and plant we came across. Abduly was as excited as we were to see the animals
which was very touching. He made sure we saw the Big 5 but when he saw we loved the elephants he gave us extra time to observe them! Of course, it was the same with the giraffes, zebras, and hippos. And when he found out there was a reptile lover he made sure to spot a snake for us to view giving us an unforgettable moment! I loved how Abduly respected the animals and always showed the utmost respect to nature while driving. Abduly gave personal touches to the trip by sharing cucumbers and avocados with us and by sharing about his life experiences. We couldn’t have asked for a more knowledgeable or thoughtful driver! After the safari three of us flew to Zanzibar and enjoyed a beach vacation in Jambiani. The amount of time and energy that Laurent spent piecing this trip together is unimaginable, but I am forever thankful that he gave me/us a trip that I dreamed of!
If you’re thinking of using Safari Soles go for it!! Create your dream vacation and watch your trip be put together by a company that works together with their employees and wants the very best experience for their visitors!

Unforegettable Experience with Safari Soles -Once in a lifetime!
Our recent tour in Tanzania with Safari Soles was absolutely incredible. From the moment we arrived, everything was perfectly organized. Before our four-day Safari, we had a fantastic one-day hike to the Materuni Waterfalla and explored the hot springs in Moshi, which set the tone for our adventure. During our four-day Safari, we were treated to delicious hot meals, and of course, drinks were always prepared. All the accommodations we stayed were special, featuring local elements and were very comfortable, making our stay more enjoyable.
A special shoutout to our amazing guides, Frank who guided us to the hiking tour on the second day, and Chris who was the best Safari guide! Chris always went beyond to ensure we had the best possible experience, spotting wildlife and sharing interesting things and the animals and their habitats.

Trustworthy safari operator, hassle-free contact, high standard of accommodation, professional guide
For our June safari we choose the local medium-sized company due to their excellent reviews and good value for money and we were not disappointed. From the moment I started exchanging emails with Happiness, communication ran smoothly and the program of our 7-day safari with Tarangire, Lake Natron, Serengeti & the Western Corridor and Ngorongoro Crater was quickly refined. June is the beginning of the high season in Tanzanian parks, yet the lodges provided for us were all of high-quality, beautifully located & with very good cuisine. Also our driver-guide, Godlisten, turned out to be very skilled at finding all sorts of wild animals, especially our sightings of lion families in various configurations were great and unforgettable. He drove us smoothly over dozens of kilometres of uneven dirty roads and we always felt safe with him. The only problem during our trip was the smoke from burning grassland, which at this time of year covered the Western Serengeti and Mbalageti Lodge. If someone suffers from allergies, they may have serious breathing problems and should reconsider visiting this particular part of the park. I wish we had known this before. The rest of our experience was great.
