Great service and value for money
My husband and I booked our honeymoon trip with Safari Soles and it was a great experience overall. Everyone was always very friendly and Catherine helped me craft the perfect 13 day vacation and customize it according to our budget and desired itinerary. She was very responsive and everything went smoothly and according to plan when we arrived which we were very grateful for. Our driver from the airport in Kilimanjaro, Andrew, even stopped to buy us typical corn on the cob that they sell on the side of the street.
Our guide Chris and cook Athumani were both wonderful. Chris was always responsive to our needs and went out of his way to find animals and make sure that we were having fun. He was a great driver and was able to fix our one flat tire quickly and effectively to make sure we didn’t miss out on anything. I was very pleased with this after seeing so many stranded vehicles on the roads we were driving on.
The food was impressive, I don’t know how Athumani made such elaborate dishes in the camping sites we stayed at, but we never went hungry and the quality of the food was always amazing. I loved the moussaka so much he made it for me twice and even asked us if we had requests for future meals.
The hotel we stayed in in Zanzibar was amazing and we couldn’t have asked for a better location in Kendwa Beach.
Overall great value for price and we are very happy with our experience with Safari Soles. Thank you again!

Very pleasant and comfortable trip close to nature
We made a 7-day trip for 4 people and the overall experience was fantastic, eating well and sleeping well. I told the guide that I wanted to see the leopard, and he took us to see it many times, and I was really happy. The guide Reginald was very attentive, very good at driving and very helpful. He took good care of us. My only regret was that my time in the northern Serengeti was too short to wait for the wildebeest to cross the river. For those of you who are coming, please reserve some time in Serengeti, preferably four days, and at least two days in the north.

Absolutely amazing from start to finish!
We booked a 10 day safari vacation with Safari Soles. Everything was absolutely perfect from start to finish. Magreth put together the itinerary for us. Magreth planned a perfect agenda and she was very quick to respond to questions via email. Magreth did a phenomenal job planning our vacation. Frank picked us up from the airport and took us around Arusha for a nice start to our trip. Abdul was our safari guide. We cannot say enough positive things about Abdul. Abdul was absolutely wonderful. We spent 7 days with him and visited Tarangire, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro. Abdul was extremely knowledgeable. Abdul did a great job with spotting animals and provided us with so much information. Abdul made our safari part of vacation one we will remember forever. After the safari part, we visited local tribes with Alex. Alex was very knowledgeable about Hadzabe and Datoga. He spoke their language and translated for us while also providing an abundance of information and helped with taking great pictures and videos for us. Ellis took us to the waterfall, coffee tour, and hot springs. Ellis was also very knowledgeable and shared information about each activity while taking really nice pictures and videos for us. We spent our last day with Andrew. Andrew took us to Serval Wildlife. He made sure that we had the best personalized experience there while providing us with information during the drive. Every single individual that we worked with through Safari Soles was wonderful and went above and beyond to make sure we were happy. We will recommend Safari Soles to everyone. Thank you for making our Safari vacation absolutely perfect!

Amazing tour - highly recommended
We booked a Materuni waterfall, hot springs and coffee tour with Safari soles. We had an incredible experience on this tour! Everything was exactly as described, and we couldn't have asked for a better guide. Our guide Alex was excellent—extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and always willing to help. The insights provided into Tanzanian culture and nature were both fascinating and enriching.
The tour offered great value for money, and we left with a much deeper appreciation for the beauty and diversity of Tanzania. If you're considering a tour in Arusha area, this one is a must-do!

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!

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.

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.

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.
