Fantastic
Fantastic experience!
Trip organized directly with them, without any difficulty, Rajan organized the Safari for us according to our demands, 5 unforgettable days. We started the Safari from Arusha with our guide Vincent, unmatched. Super friendly, professional and great respect for the environment and culture.
He made us live an unforgettable experience. To repeat again, but with them. (Ngorongoro, Tarangire, Serengeti, lake Manyara

Professional, Warm, Flexible, Humble, Friendly and most importantly the fun part of the trip!
Sopai is a new company and this is one of the reason I was keen to explore initially. Rajab who owns the company showed lot of interest and gave me lot of personal attention both before and after booking as compared to any other tour operators. This was a very important factor for me as Africa was a new country for me to visit and he was always available to answer every small question I had and mostly over a video chat. Rajab accompanied us in the trip along with a very experienced driver Vincent (he knew every nook and corner of Taranguire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro) and he brought so much life to the trip. Always happy and smiling with abundance of knowledge and kept my son excited. We always had warm yummy food for every lunch in the midst of nowhere (I am biased here as I am not a fan of cold sandwiches which I saw lot of tour operators carried for their guests). We literally changed plans 2/3 times and without any fuss Rajab & Vincent accommodated our requests. They would keep recommending different options with pros and cons which made it very easy for us.

An unforgettable safari!
I recently had the pleasure of vacationing in Tanzania for 6 days with Sopai African Safari, and it was an amazing experience! Our guide, Dismas, was just AMAZING!. His incredible knowledge of the local flora and fauna and his ability to spot animals (even the most hidden ones) made our safari absolutely unforgettable. Dismas was always ready to answer our questions and share interesting anecdotes. His kindness and kindness made our trip even more memorable. Every day we were amazed by encounters with wild animals in their natural habitat.
In addition to game drives, we also had the chance to visit several beautiful places in Tanzania, and every leg of the trip was perfectly organized. Our contact for the reservation, Rajab, was also very kind and attentive to our needs. He answered all of our questions, gave us helpful tips, and made sure our stay went without a hitch.
I would like to warmly thank the entire Sopai African Safari team for their professionalism and dedication. Thanks to them, we experienced magical moments and memories that will remain etched in our minds forever. I highly recommend this agency to anyone who wants to discover the beauty of Tanzania in the best conditions.

Incredible! Knowledgeable, friendly, professional and a pleasure to be around
Raja and Vincent were amazing!
From the very first email, Raja went above and beyond to help. Catering to us by offering us several options on how we could get to all the sites we wanted to see on our safari. The accommodation was nice and comfortable, the food delicious and the tour as a whole was amazing.
Raja and Vincent were friendly from the moment they picked us up. The two of them would spend long hours every day looking after us, they were always amazingly friendly and professional. They were super knowledgable about every animal we saw, commenting on their eating, mating, daily life and migration patterns in detail. And they made sure we saw a lot of cool stuff!
Though we missed out on seeing a couple of the animals (Can't expect to see everything, the animals aren't exactly performers), they made sure we saw so much that I'll be carrying these memories with me forever. Making special effort to try and catch sight of these animals, going well past reasonable work hours for us.
The highlight was seeing a pride of lionesses hunt down a warthog. Absolutely incredible, but everything was amazing and we couldn't ask for more.
I'd recommend Sopai Safaris to anyone looking to travel to Tanzania. Specifically Rafa and Vincent helped make our trip there so great!

Incredible Tour!!
We had such an incredible experience with Sopai Safaris! Raja was an awesome guide, he went above and beyond to make this trip a trip of a lifetime. From the start I contacted Raja with a lot of requests to adjust and create a tour to specifically what we wanted with a particular budget in mind. We emailed back and forth and he gave me many options, and was very accommodating to help us create our ideal itinerary. I really wanted to experience some tented safari camps in the mix of accommodation but worried about our budget, and he was able to make that work - all of the accommodation options exceeded our expectations! They were always quick in responding and on time whenever we wanted to leave in the mornings, and always professional. Being a smaller company too I loved how they made an effort to stand out amongst the competition - they provided hot lunches (which were actually really good and we were so grateful) everyday instead of the same box lunches most everyone’s else had. We also had Vincent with us as our driver and co guide and he was excellent as well! They were able to spot 4 leopards for us - how they’re able to spot some of them I have no idea - but we were also lucky enough to witness a pride of lions hunt and kill a warthog! They both had a wealth of knowledge about all the animals we came across, and found us an authentic Maasai boma to visit that was not touristy in the slightest. They helped translate some of the stories and information from our local Maasai guide, which was an experience I’d recommend to anyone. We were so happy to have Raja and Vincent as our guides and would highly recommend them and this company to anyone out there!!!

Amazing !
We planned our 6-day safari with Rajab, who was very responsive in our discussions. He answered all of our questions and concerns.
He was able to adapt to all our requests, creating an itinerary adapted to our constraints.
Our guide, Dismas, picked us up from the airport. He was helpful and smiling.
Thanks to him, we had an amazing time.
Dismas was attentive, caring, patient, funny and always in a good mood. He is passionate about his job and makes you feel it.
He answered all our questions and taught us a lot about the animals, the country and the Maasai culture.
He has the eyes of a lynx, because he can spot animals even if they are sometimes far away. And we were also able to observe them closely, while respecting them.
We also ate very well, often in unusual places. The food was consistently excellent and met our dietary restrictions.
Dismas is always smiling and happy to share his passion for animals with us.
We always felt safe with him.
Our stay would not have been the same without him. He was the guide who made our safari unforgettable.
I recommend Dismas to anyone who wants to book with Sopai Safari.

4 Day Safari in Tanzania
The contact with Rajab was very nice. He responded quickly to messages and sent programs for us to choose from.
Our guide, Vincent, was excellent! He was very friendly and knowledgeable. For whatever type of safari you are seeking, he knows where and when to take you. His guidance and presence made us feel very welcomed in Tanzania. We were blessed to see the beautiful landscapes, wildlife, and culture of Tanzania because of Vincent‘s phenomenal guidance. During our 4 day safari in Tarangire NP, Serengeti NP, Ngorogoro Crater, and Lake Manyara NP ,he was able to get us safely close to all wildlife to be seen. The scheduling of our activities was flexible and Vincent was reliable in taking care of the logistics. We strongly recommend Vincent as your next safari guide!

Sopai is committed to giving you an unforgettable experience.
Through SafariBookings, I ended up at Sopai. The contact with Rajab was very nice. He responded quickly to emails and sent clear programs for us to choose from.
Upon arrival at Arusha, Rajab and our guide Silas were already waiting for us. For four days we went on Safari with the amazing guide Silas. He knows what he is talking about and showed us a lot. After a day and a half we were able to spot the big five thanks to him.
The accommodations that were arranged were great! The food was delicious. The second night we slept in a luxury tent in the middle of the Serengeti, great experience!
On day 4 Rajab was also back at the airport to see us off together with Silas.
Sopai, thank you so much for this cool experience! Especially Silas.
