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!

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!

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

Unforgettable Tanzanian Safari Experience with Safari Soles
Our recent safari with Safari Soles was nothing short of extraordinary. From the moment we were picked up, it was clear that we were in for an unforgettable adventure. Our guide, Innocent, was incredibly knowledgeable and friendly, making every moment of our journey educational and exciting.
We were incredibly fortunate to witness some of Africa's most majestic wildlife up close. Watching a cheetah feast on a gazelle was a sight I will never forget. The leopards we saw were breathtaking, lounging gracefully in the trees. The highlight, however, was seeing over 30 lions in their natural habitat, including two adorable baby lion cubs playing under the watchful eyes of their mothers.
Innocent's expertise truly enhanced our experience. He had an uncanny ability to spot animals even from a distance and provided fascinating insights into their behaviors and habitats.
Safari Soles exceeded our expectations in every way, and we wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking for a top-notch safari experience in Tanzania. Don't miss the chance to explore the wonders of the Serengeti with such a dedicated and professional team.

Will do it again and again!
I just returned from a 9 day Serengeti tour w my teenager daughter. I would do it again and again if I could. It was a "never forget" closeness and experiences w wildlife! 6 days we spent camping and visiting Ngorongoro, Serengeti, and Tarangirw w out chef İDRİS and our guide/ excellent driver INNOCENT was hands down just an awesome adventure. İdris went out of his way to satisfy me and my daughter's picky eating habits and he also nursed me back to feeling better as I entered the country w a sinus infection. We had 3 full course meals a day that was tailored to our choices.
Our guide INNOCENT was our comfort zone. Being from the western life style he made it very easy for us and kept us comfortable in the conditions that we aren't used to. Being an emergency vehicle operator myself I applaud his driving skills in the rough terrain and foggy/ muddy hillsides. He kept us safe and comfortable. His knowledge of his country/ culture/ and wildlife is just off limits. He got us as close as arms reach to some wildlife and we never doubted our safety. He knows his Serengeti like his own palm and will find you that animal you wants to see. I can tell you that I wanted to see a male lion up close and boy did I see them! An abondance of 🦁 and lioness'. He even managed to get us a viewing of a very rare sighting of Rhino 🦏. We did see the BIG 5 ! And it was amazing. We had front stage view in f the Wildebeest river crossing. Innocent was organized and structured , he let us know, in advance of the schedule, what to expect, and what can go wrong-as in foggy weather and limited visual of places. If we didn't get to view certain places due to inclement weather conditions he managed to make it back there on a clearer day. At no point did we feel threatened ur uncomfortable being that I was w a teenager. He and İdris were very respectful and giving. We enjoyed having meals w them. His level of English was also great. Able to speak to you fluently w great vocabulary. Our tents ⛺️ and luggage 🧳 was always readily available and always secured for us. If I had the opportunity to do it again I will definitely request Innocent and İdris!
