Great safari experience
My partner and I went for the 3 days safari + Ngorogoro and we truly enjoyed the experience thanks to Safari Soles. Everything was so smoothly organized, delicious lunches and lodges with top views. Also, while planning our trip I had so many questions which Raphael was always super happy to answer to. Last but not least, our tour guide Oscar- great guy, who we had good laughs with, very knowledgeable of his job and always on point to spot more animals for us to see. We can highly recommend Safari Soles! :))

Once In A Lifetime Experience!
This was an experience of a lifetime! The animals on our safari were incredible, but what made the trip for us was our guide. Cheddie is extremely knowledgeable, never stumped by our questions. His enthusiasm and sense of humour was delightful. A most excellent host for his country. I absolutely would do this again in a heartbeat…but only with Cheddie at the helm. If you sign up for this safari, specifically ask for Cheddie. There are so many companies to choose from for a safari, but this company was attentive to our every needs and was very good value for the money spent. Do it now! Don’t wait. Trust this company.

Simply Amazing
We did a 7 day Safari that included Tarangire, Serengeti x 3, Ngorongoro and Lake Manyara.
It was a lifetime experience. Everything was AMAZING. First and most important I want to thank Elias, our driver and guide. He was awesome in every sense. Warm, funny, educational and very experienced. He made our Safari unforgettable!
The hotels and lodges were great, the food delicious and the staff was helpful and friendly.
The parks are very well prepared with nice picnic sites and clean washrooms.
100% recommended.

My tour guide, Raymond, made my first Safari trip truly memorable.
My Safari experience with Safari Soles was an unforgettable experience! From riding around in the jeep, seeing all the animals in their natural habitats, and camping in the Serengeti, my safari experience was better than I expected it to be.
My tour guide, Raymond, made my first Safari trip truly memorable. Not only was he very knowledgeable about the animals and terrain, but also he’s an amazing DJ. I’ll never forget riding through Serengeti’s endless plaines listening to Reggae and R&B classics and thinking to myself that life can’t get any better than this moment. Thank you, Raymond, for everything – the conversations, and your hospitality and patience (I asked hundreds of questions, and he answered every question with a smile and enthusiasm).
This was one of my best travel experiences, and I highly recommend Safari Soles and tour guide Raymond for your next adventure!

Me and my Friend went on a private 6 day Budget Camping & Lodge Safari and it was truly incredible. Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater were our destinations and I would do exactly the same trip any time again.
Our guide Innocent and chef Dennis, aka „stomache engineer“ were truly incredible. Innocent‘s knowledge of animals and the nationals park ensured us not just seeing all of the big five but also learning a lot about animals and Tanzania itself. Dennis was waking up very early in the morning to make sure we are having incredible breakfast, lunch and dinner - everything selfmade! While other companies were having premade lunchboxes for lunch, we were having at least three different kinds if food.
From beginning to end this trip was a once in a lifetime experience and thinking back about all the memories makes me smile.

Best of the best. 100% satisfied
We had booked the 8 days/7nights safari including Tarangire NP, Serengeti NP, Ngorongoro and Lake Manyara. And it was worth every cent.
Raphael, our tour agent, from the first email till our departure stayed always in contact with us whenever we needed him. He personalized the tour according to what we wanted to do and to see. The lodges he proposed could be changed on our purpose. The were all really good, some even outstanding.
Our guide and driver, Oscar, was the perfect man for a safari with all his knowledge, his driving skills and his humor. He has a lot of experience and is flexible whenever there is need.
We had a big extended Landcruiser with plenty of space for two. Cooled drinks on bord were included. The pop-up roof was perfect for taking pictures.
Most important: we saw sooo many animals, sometimes very, very close. Lions, lepard, cheetah, elephants ….even a rhino. Everything the Nationalparks had offer. You name it. Overall, we were so lucky to see the big migration with thousands of wildebeest close to us.
We absolutely can recommend Safari Soles. On our last day, Bryson, the Manager of the company, came to our hotel to say goodbye. Perfect

An Unforgettable Safari Experience with Safari Soles Tours!
I recently concluded a remarkable safari journey in Tanzania, and I am thrilled to share my experience with Safari Soles Tours. From start to finish, this company exceeded my expectations and provided an exceptional safari adventure.
1. Pre-Trip Communication:
Magreth, who provided me with the initial quote, demonstrated remarkable patience by meticulously modifying the itinerary over a dozen times to meet our specific requirements. Even during the safari, she promptly responded to my emails and assisted with various inquiries. This was particularly helpful as I had limited calling capabilities due to my data-only SIM card.
2. Airport Transfers:
The airport transfers were punctual, and Andrew, responsible for our transportation, went above and beyond. He even took the time to accompany us to a local market to purchase a SIM card. Throughout the journey, he warmly introduced us to the city of Arusha, showcasing his enthusiasm and knowledge.
3. Safari Experience:
Undoubtedly the highlight of my trip, the safari itself was a dream come true. Our guide, Cheddy, was not only highly responsible but also incredibly humorous. He took us to Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater, providing detailed explanations along the way. Cheddy's ability to spot animals from a distance or through radio communication without giving us prior hints added an element of surprise and allowed us to discover the wildlife ourselves. His exceptional driving skills ensured a smooth ride, skillfully maneuvering around potholes and driving cautiously when unavoidable. This greatly enhanced our overall experience. Additionally, Cheddy even knew the Chinese names of almost every animal we encountered, which was immensely helpful for us as we had limited knowledge of the local fauna.
Although I had an amazing experience overall, I would like to mention a minor inconvenience. Prior to the start of our journey, after we had paid the deposit, two of the nights in our lodge/camp were changed due to room availability. While the alternative accommodations provided were also excellent, and Magreth informed me the change timely, I still believe it would be perfect if such situations can be avoided.
I express my deepest gratitude to Safari Soles Tours and everyone involved for their outstanding service and support throughout this journey. I highly recommend this company to anyone seeking an unforgettable safari experience in Tanzania.

Safari Soles was professional, well organized and honest.
We had a fantastic safari set up by Raphael! Everyone was very welcoming and friendly. Chief picked us at the airport and toured us around Arusha. We headed out on a 7 day safari with Issac. A Massi guided us on a walk to waterfalls and Natron Lake. He answered many questions about his tribe.
All our accommodations were clean and very comfortable. By the crater, where it was cold, a water bottle was put in our beds while we were at dinner.
FYI, There was usually a tip box at each of the places we stayed which gets distributed to all staff. We didn't know about this until part way through and had been tipping individuals. The food was delicious both at our accommodation and at lunch. We enjoyed wine with our lunch and beer, water, and pop on the dusty road.
We were blown away by the variety of animals. Issac was very skilled at finding animals and moving the truck so that we could see them better. He was very knowledgable about each of them and answered our questions easily. Although there were highlights in each park, we enjoyed the northern Serengeti most. The parks closer to Arusha were busier with tourists and traffic.
After our trip to Zanzibar we contacted Raphael to organize a one day trip to the foothills of Kilimanjaro before we flew out. We had a fabulous day with Andrew walking to waterfalls, learning about and making coffee, then swimming in hot springs.
Safari soles exceeded our expectations! We were very well taken care of.
We would definitely recommend them to others.

Amazing custom safari
We just finished our first ever 7 day safari with Safari Soles and would highly recommend them. The coordination to develop our itinerary was detailed and timely in responding and making sure we had everything covered and were ready for a great safari.
But the faraway highlight of our trip was our guide Innocent. He made our trip truly unforgettable and is a great asset to Safari Soles. He answered our many questions and made sure we had all great days and spotted countless animals across Tanguirere, Central and Northern Serengeti and Ngorongoro crater. Our trip was a few days longer than the typical 4 to 5 day safari and I would encourage you to add extra days too so you have maximum game drives and opportunities to spot lots of wildlife.
Asante Sana Innocent and Safari Soles for taking such great care of us!
