Best Tour Around at a Great Price
We highly recommend Safari Soles for your Tanzania adventure.
We completed a 9 day tour in mid-January that included 6 days on safari (Tarengerie, Lake Manyara (day & night), Southern Serenghetti, Ngorongoro Crater), and a day each exploring Arusha city, the Datoga & Hadzabe tribes, and hiking a little bit of Kilimanjaro. They’re very willing to customize an itinerary to fit your desires while staying within a budget.
Our safari driver, Isaack, may be the best one in Tanzania. He is kind, caring, & organized, and his experience navigating the parks & large network of friends allow you to see a lot of animals. He truly loves his job and wants his guests to leave happy, even if it means sitting with animals for a while to witness something special or take the perfect photo (he has a knack for getting the best parking spot). Overall, we spotted at least 85 different animal species, including the African Big Five and a few less common ones. Granted, we woke up early per Isaack’s suggestion since it gave us more time to see and be with the animals (we were first guests in two parks).
The complimentary drinks on the clean jeep are plentiful, and the mid-range lodges & camps are all well-maintained (some having air conditioning & WiFi). Food throughout the trip was tasty, which included a variety of country-grown vegetables & rice, and traditional meats & seafoods. They offer mostly hot meals, which are far superior to the boxes that other companies mostly offer.
Shout out to Chief & Andrew for assisting us on city & hiking days, respectively.
We have zero complaints; it’s hard to believe there is a better company than Safari Soles, and all the money they make stays in Tanzania since they’re locally owned. We will miss Tanzania, and especially Isaack, who we consider family now since that’s how he treated us all week.

He is THE PERFECT SAFARI GUIDE ever.
I booked a safari tour of Manyara Lake National Park on Christmas Eve 2024 with four people including myself. Thanks to our guide Cheddy, We had such a fun and happy tour. When I thought about it as I wrapped up my trip now, I've met a total of three guides, including other companies, and I recall that Cheddy was the BEST guide.
I'm always interested in every birds. So when we were in our safari tour, I call Cheddy SO many times "What is that bird!?" and Cheddy knew every birds we found. His story and explanaion is also very interesting, and he has very good eyes so we found lots of animals including Rock Python, Rainbow Agama, Nile Monitor. Eventhough only one of us could speak English, his good and humorous personality allowed us to let our nervous down and enjoy our tour. Writing this review, I really appreciate to Cheddy again and I reccomend Cheddy to everyone. If I go to Tanzania again, I will choose Cheddy for my safari tour.

Excellent life time experience
We had an incredible experience and were able to see many different animals and at the same time learn a lot about nature and animals. I am convinced that this is largely due to the wealth of experience of our guide Florid (if you are reading this, Asantesana for the whole experience). The entire organization and the joint optimization of the route with Safari Soles was flawless. The price was totally worth it, as Florid made sure, hat we have a Great time, even on non-safari days.

One of the best experiences of my life!
Going on safari was, without a doubt, one of the most incredible experiences of my life! Every moment was unique and memorable, from the magic of watching the sunrise on a hot air balloon ride over the Serengeti to the exciting interaction with the Massai Tribe. This was one of the highlights of my year and something that I highly recommend to anyone who wants to experience something extraordinary.
Also, I want to highlight the incredible work of Cristian, the best guide we could have asked for. His passion, knowledge and attention to every detail made this experience truly unforgettable. I am also very grateful to Douglas, who was instrumental in organizing everything, ensuring that everything ran perfectly.
This adventure is definitely at the top of my “Book List” and will forever be etched in my memory. Thank you for providing something so special!

Reliable, experienced and trustworthy.
Words cannot convey what a fabulous time we had!! Exceeded all our expectations!! Definitely highly recommended!!
Patrick was super responsive and helped with the planning. Our safari guide Christian was phenomenal!! He made sure we got to see the ‘big five’ and made sure we got everywhere we needed to. If African rains come, he is your ‘guy’ if you get stuck in the mud. Best trip ever for our family of four. Don’t wait - make this trip too! Can’t recommend enough! You won’t be disappointed!
