Safari Nyerere well organized (via online) with Uwanta Tours and Safaris.
We were picked up from our hotel in Zanzibar for 2 days: transport, safaris, hotel, meal.. On the 1st day we had a safari from 8am to 5pm and saw many animals : hippos, impalas, elephants, hyenas, baboons, giraffes, buffaloes, zebras, wild dogs... and one lion. The fist day, we were lucky to have a guide Raphael who spoke French. Fascinating and very professional he shared with us his great knowledge of the fauna and flora. The 2nd day, safari on the river, much less rich in discoveries.

Countless animals in their natural environment
We went on a 3-day safari with Serengeti and NgoroNgoro Crater. The landscape was wonderfully green and countless animals grazed peacefully on the green, lush meadows. We werw lucky to discover all the Big Five and were able to marvel at all the animals in their natural habitat. It was very impressive. As December is the rainy season, it rained heavily for 1-2 hours every day.
Everything worked out perfectly. The camps were well organised and the food was excellent. The days were intense and eventful.
I recommend 3-4 days for this type of safari.
You should bear in mind that you spend many hours in the safari car and that the journey to the national parks alone is around 250 kilometres.

Great experience
Trip was well organized, we saw a lot of animals and the camps were really nice. Unfortunately, our tour guide was not really talkative although he knew a lot and his English was fluent. We asked a lot of questions on which he gave answers but did not tell a ot of background information by himself. In general real the tour and route was nice but one has to be prepared to be many hours in a car and get up early if you want to see lots of animals.

Perfect way to discover Kenya in a few days!
Doshasha made my planning very easy and were very responsive, Grace was a superstar answering all my questions. The trip was great & the guide/driver could have not been better, one of the best Safaris I have ever done!

Friendly team and great time for our Safari in 4 different parks
First, we have chosen Safari Soles after contacting and discussing with 3 other tour operators. Communication was friendly, easy and documents sent with details of our tour of great quality. Price for Mid-Range Safari (4 parks) 6 days + 1 day walk to the waterfall was a bit lesser price than 2 of the other agencies. One agency was less, but documents were not of great quality. So we chose Safari Soles.
Our guide was on time the first day, very "pole-pole" all through the tour, nice and smiling. We had good talks and greatly appreciated Saïd, as a french guide, he knew the animals and names (I asked a lot of questions about animals).
The jeep was not as new as other companies we saw and seats needed cushions added to be confortable, but we had no trouble with the vehicule, even in mud, we never stayed stuck, our guide was a pretty good driver!
We had a great Safari tour and we loved Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro. Our guide always took the time to bring us were he thought we would see birds and animals, we are such animal lovers that he did that "extra mile" for us.
The "hotels" that were planned were all nice and some were incredible, like the Suricata Boma Lodge, Farm of Dreams Lodge and Serengeti Safari Haven in Serengeti center & Ndutu. All the meals we ate were delicious, at the hotels and even as lunches because we had the Big Lunch Box with "hot complete meals" NOT cardboard box lunches. That was great, we really appreciated it.
Because it was our 20th couple anniversary, we even did the Balloon flight with Serengeti Balloon team and it was amazing! The team was so nice and smily, the flight was great and smooth and the breakfast after was delicious.
We had a memorable time in Tanzania!
Thanks to Safari Soles & Saïd

Well Organized, ambitious driver, nice accomodations
The Safari was not that cheap but it was definately Worth it’s Money! It was a Perfect organized Trip with Amazing accomodations!
We did a 5 days tour. Unfortunately our driver was not that communicative. We would have loved to get more structure and Knowledge about the organization of the day. We definaltely apperciated the Knowledge of our Ranger about the Environment, Animals and Their behaviour.

Our tour operators were attentive experienced, and flexible.
We did the Pakuba Safari tour with Silivia and Sa'adi that included a trip to Murchison Falls. It was amazing! Our tour guides were knowledgeable about the forest, wetlands, and wildlife. They know what times were best for seeing lions, giraffes, elephants, and so many others. They were flexible in picking us up from Kampala and driving us on the long trek to the site. They were intuitive enough to know when rest stops and lunch breaks would be most welcome. They focused on safety while giving us the best access to the most wildlife. We thoroughly enjoyed our tour.

Great safari experience
The pros: Overall safari was a great experience. We were able to see many animals throughout the serengeti, ngorogoro crater, and tarangire national park. The accommodation booked was also fantastic and of high quality. Rehema was always quick to respond to any questions we had on whatsapp and was very responsive.
Improvements: Some of the planning leading up to the safari could have been better. We had a hiccup with our accommodation bookings (which the company ultimately helped us resolve). We ended up staying at different places than originally planned but they were just as nice, if not better. Briefing and timing of briefing meeting was also a bit confusing leading up to our departure. Nothing major but a few small things to improve.
Thanks for a great time!
