Our first safari was unforgettable thanks to safari Soles
Our 8-day safari with Safari Soles was an incredible adventure, and much of that is thanks to our fantastic guide, Godlisten. From sunrise to sunset, he worked tirelessly to ensure we had the best experience possible. His keen eye for spotting animals was impressive—he seemed to notice wildlife before anyone else, and thanks to him, we saw the entire Big 5 and many more animals!
The vehicle added to the adventurous feel of the journey, making every moment of the safari exciting. We also appreciated Safari Soles' eco-friendly practices, such as using reusable packaging for our meals. It's great to see a company committed to sustainability.
Another highlight was the flexibility in adjusting our accommodations. We had a few specific requests, and Safari Soles was happy to make changes for us, which made the trip even more enjoyable.
While the experience was mostly flawless, there are a couple of small areas for improvement. We sometimes had to remind the staff that we are vegetarians. Additionally, the two days we spent primarily on travel routes could have been communicated better in advance to manage expectations.
Overall, we had an unforgettable safari with Safari Soles, and we'd recommend them to anyone looking for a unique and well-rounded experience!

Excellent local tour operator! Planned to the notch!
Such a great local tour operator! Their service, adaptability, competitive pricing and response made trip planning so easy!
Package was well planned for 9-10 days and covered all the key areas!
And we had the best guide - CHEDY! He is the most kind, funny, knowledgeable, patient and experienced person I have ever met! He drove well, had an answer always to our 1000s of questions, would spot an animal way before we could even realize and was the most fantastic host! I truly recommend him to any of the trips and would return to TZ especially if he would guide us again! Kudos to Safari Soles!

7 day private family Safari - bly in and drive out
We just finished a 7 day safari for a family group of 7 with Safari Soles and Isack as our Guide. Everything thing about the process was top notch professional from the quotation and contracting phase, to the transportation and of course most important, the Safari guide support by Isack.
After getting quotations from several good tour operators, we chose Safari Soles based on their excellent past reviews, a competitive price and timely support during the planning and contracting process. We chose to fly into the northern Serengeti from Arusha on the morning of day one and drive out which was an excellent way to get the most out of your time. We were met by Isack (who had driven ten hours the day before to be ready to meet us when we landed at 8:15am. We immediately started the game drive and by 10:00 we were watching two lines of hundreds of wildebeest crossing the Mara river back into Tanzania – a sight we hoped but did not expect to see. We continued the week staying at excellent camps in the Serengeti, Crater and Tarangaire with sights of dozens of lions, leopard with her dinner (zebra) in the tree with her, dozens of elephants, water buffalo, zebra and other beautiful game.
We can’t say enough about Isack really made the week for us with his professionalism, excellent knowledge providing detailed answers to our countless questions, and his close attention to little details that made the Safari experience better for all of us. We all felt like he was part of the family by day 7. You can’t go wrong with this team.

10/10
We had absolutely the perfect experience with Safari Soles. From the first contact to the end! 1 A organized & always available. The safari was simply incredible, we saw elephants, lions, rhinos, giraffes and countless other animals up close. Great food, wine, beer etc. all included. Great accommodation for the overnight stay. Special thanks go to Boniface and Jessica for the organization and especially to our driver, Cheddy! Cheddy was a very careful driver, always concerned about the well-being of the animals and his guests, incredibly friendly, in a good mood and answered all of our questions. Simply great.

Top Safari Operator Definitely !!!
Me and my friend had a perfect 6 days' safari with Safari Tours!
Wrote emails to over 30 5-stars safari operators, Safari Soles won us in the final round owning to timely communication, price, well-organized schedule ! Before the journey, I did homework my own and had a rough idea of Tanzania Parks, the plan made by Oken perfectly matched with my expectation! And he was the first one replied my request email among all operators I asked even in the weekend. Although one of the accommodation was changed due to fully booked, Oken communicated with me timely and added me in WeChat app taking care of Chinese customers. The only thing could be improved is, I requested and paid 40% deposit 2 months ahead, but the flight ticket and accommodation booking letters didn't sent to me till a week before we start the journey. I don't know whether it's reservation team got slack at their work or caused by accommodation staffs, anyway, if the booking status could be communicated weekly, that would make me feel they are trying best to help book rooms. Beside this, Oken was really friendly and gave me a very warm welcome before the trip!
Beside wonderful views, our guide Alex was part of this lifetime experience! Alex was not only a professional guide, skilled driver, animal expert, human binocular, safari guard, private photographer, but also our friend! During the afternoon in Ngrongoro, we saw Big 5 in the same day! The moment he heard there's a leopard near, he drove us there ASAP, just after 5 minutes, leopard ran away! Thanks to Alex! Then we spent 2 days in Serengeti, saw 2 lions eating a buffalo, Alex taught us how Lions hunt and how to start from the tail of animals, we enjoyed a live BBC broadcast with a running commentary! The last day in Serengeti, though wildebeests failed to cross mara river due to one was caught by crocodile, Alex explained the wildebeest group immigration behaviors and how they live together with zebras, that's super interesting!
In conclusion, we really appreciate everything safari soles arranged for us, especially Oken and Alex, we can't have such a perfect experience without you two! I'll definitely recommend safari soles to all my friends who plan to go Tanzania!!
