Unforgettable Safari with Safari Professionals
We did a Safari with the owner Noel in February with his Safari Company ‘Fur Tours & Trek’ and we can highly recommend Noel and his Safaris.
Everything was extremely well organized, he was very friendly & supportive with pick-ups from our prior destination and our driver Savio achieved us seing all the big 5 during our 6-day Safari in Tanzania.
Our driver made sure we have the best experience by also visiting some bush tribes
with a local translator , who was also super lovely and extremely kind. Loved the mix of seing animals and authentic tribes.
We felt safe at all times and enjoyed every single day to the fullest.

A trip of a Lifetime
We only have positive responses regarding our safari trip and our socializing with the owner Noel and our guide Ashley. The layout of the trip and the pace (speed) has been incredibly good, our expectation to see much of Tanzania's wildlife has been met with a great deal, we have seen more animals than we dared to dream about. In addition to great knowledge of wildlife, our guide have also told a lot about the country of Tanzania and its population which has been very interesting. Great praise also for the food that was served during the safari, it was also the best during the entire stay in Tanzania. Very good and varied, we could not in our wildest imagination imagine that we would be served a good soup for starters as well as two main dishes every day as well as good picnic lunches every day. We can with great pleasure warmly recommend Red Soil Safaris to others who want to experience Tanzania and have a trip of a lifetime.

Excellent at his job.
My brother, cousin, and I have had an African safari on our bucket list for a long time. The time finally came! From reading the reviews and seeing about the expeditions on the tv, I have known for a long time that I wanted to do a safari in Tanzania. When the time came I reached out to Noel whom I was recommended by a friend. Noel took care of all my questions and everything was completed seamlessly.
Our excellent guide was Ashley. We can't say enough positive things about him! Professional, extremely knowledgeable, entertaining, flexible with the schedule, and the absolute best driver there is! We had categorically the best time and saw more animals than we could have dreamt of seeing. Furthermore, all the accommodations were outstanding. In addition to seeing all the wonderful animals, some other highlights would be visiting the orphanage (Arusha), stopping at a Maasai Village and watching the animals from a hot air balloon (Serengeti National Park).
After the safari portion, we ventured to Zanzibar for relaxation. Had a wonderful tour of Stone Town and Prisoner Island. The turtle sanctuary was a nice surprise.
Booking our vacation through Noel and his company Red Soil Safaris was the best thing we did. Additionally, kudos to Ashley (Masai)- he was the best.

Such an amazing trip , we will never forget
I submitted a request to a number of operators to plan a group trip to Tanzania and Zanzibar for August 2022. I was matched with Noel. His travel company Red Soil Safaris has surpassed our expectations and provided an amazing experience we will never forget. The accommodations were top rated, and we had a fantastic time there. In fact, all the accommodations we stayed at were phenomenal. They were beautiful, clean, each room had an amazing view, the staff were very attentive, and the food was top notch. Noel even planned a few surprises for our group at the Camp in Serengeti.
Noel booked all of our in-country transfers (both by car and plane). All we had to do was show up at the lobby of each accommodation at the time specified and everything else was taken care of. Our driver Peter was exceptional as well. We spent our 8 days Safari through Tarangire, the Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, Manyara and a cultural tour in Lake Eyasi which was out of the world experience. Our driver had many years’ experience, he was very knowledgeable about all of the animals. Within 5 minutes landing at the air strip, he took us straight to see many of the animals, especially a family of cheetahs eating their prey! On our morning game drive, we saw lions feasting on a buffalo, we also saw a leopard with a vulture in a tree.
We then ended the trip visiting Zanzibar’s beaches, a spice tour & Stone Town.
I highly recommend using Noel and his travel company for travel tours, safaris and vacations in the future and look forward to working with him again! Asante sana!

Best quality price report ! Impeccable service!
We chose Red Soil Safari after much research and requests for quotes for a safari that allowed us to visit 3 parks including the serengeti.
Red Soil's offer was by far the most interesting with quality accommodation (we are traveling with a child) at an affordable price.
Noel was very helpful, he picked us up the day before at the airport and helped us book train tickets to dar es salaam (which was not so easy).
Our guide, Ashley was great, very attentive to our pace and very efficient in spotting the animals.
An extraordinary experience that I highly recommend!
Many thanks Red Soil!!

High quality service for best value to price ratio!
Once in a lifetime experience.
Let me begin with Ashley - Ashley is profesional tour guide doing it for 10 years and he is excellent animal spotter and see animals where others dont. We had seen big 5, he knows very well terain and he has adjusted the whole safari according to our wishes and needs.
From owner - Noel side all great. From initial communication to pickup at airport to drop off. All went smooth and been organized perfectly. I am not always over positive but this time I must say I enjoyed the whole safari on maximum. All accomodations were excellent. Clean, staff friendly, awesome interiors. We had dreams of safari lodge, tukaone camp ( excellent thing in center of serengheti! ) and eileens trees in. All been great. We had awesome 5 days. If you hesitate, dont. Ref soil safari are profesionals who deliver great service and I can really recommend them as trusted tour guides.

Wonderful!
Our group of four had an amazing experience with Red Soil Safari and I can't recommend them enough. Our guide, Ashley, was not only incredibly knowledgeable about the area, providing fascinating insights, but also displayed the utmost professionalism. Despite encountering car trouble, Ashley ensured our safari remained on schedule, showcasing admirable dedication and timely problem-solving.
Moreover, I must commend Noel, the booking coordinator, for his exceptional service. Noel made the entire booking process seamless, demonstrating excellent communication and customer care. Together, Ashley and Noel contributed to an unforgettable adventure. I look forward to booking with Red Soil Safari again in the future.

Fantastic experience
Our safari with Ashley as our guide was an absolute delight. His professionalism, knowledge, and patience made the journey enjoyable. Noel, the owner, was fantastic to deal with, creating a seamless experience from start to finish. The food was exquisite, and the ease of booking, along with simple pick-up and drop-off, added to the overall excellence of the trip. Despite one unfair review, our experience was flawless, earning them a well-deserved five-star rating. Highly recommend this highly experienced and professional team for an unforgettable safari adventure.
