Smart, informative and entertaining
This trip was surreal! It exceeded my expectations from the very beginning. Our lodging and meals were arranged each day and each place was unique and felt like I was in another world. They were so friendly and informative making each day exciting. They would take us where ever we wanted to go. We had a very large group which sometimes would mar ordinary trips hard. Each day was planned out. It was our parents 50th anniversary and everywhere we went the guides would celebrate with us, making this experience even more memorable. I’m so glad we chose this company because they knew all the good spots and places to stay. Can’t wait to make this more than once in a lifetime dream come true.

Mike and his team are outstanding folks!
Mike and his team showed us the best time. Very hospitable, funny, down to earth. These guys love their job. We laughed, joked, and took lots of cool pics. They showed us everything we wanted to see. We all made new friends on our safari.

Absolutely amazing!
I came in with low expectations and I was blown away at our experience!! Our guides were incredible and so fun. They showed us every animal we wanted to see (multiple times). I couldn’t believe the amount of animals we saw. Would definitely recommend this company.

The best tour operator hands down!
This was, without question, the trip of a lifetime — an absolute 10/10 experience from start to finish.
Rajab and Patrick were incredible! Their deep knowledge and genuine kindness made every single day unforgettable. We saw a huge number of animals, including the Big Five with ease. It was clear they knew exactly where to go and when, their skill made this trip what it was.
The accommodation throughout was brilliant, and the food was delicious, especially the lunches, which were far better than what we saw other tour groups having. I have dietary requirements and was accommodated the whole trip with ease.
We felt completely safe and cared for at all times. The entire trip was stress-free — all we had to do was provide our flight details, and everything else was handled. It made planning effortless and allowed us to fully relax and enjoy every moment.
I have already recommended Sopai to all of our family and friends considering a trip to Tanzania, and I wouldn’t hesitate to travel with them again. We’re already dreaming of coming back for Kilimanjaro and Zanzibar — and we wouldn’t choose anyone else.
An unforgettable adventure with the very best! Thank you Rajab and Patrick!

Best safari experience ever!
I cannot recommend sopai safaris highly enough, Rajab and Patrick are truly fantastic and provided a 5 star experience that we’ll never forget.
Rajab was extremely helpful and ensured that we had the best trip. From picking us up at the Tanzania border, explaining the full 8-day itinerary, everything was a seamless experience.
We came on the safari for our honeymoon and Rajab and Patrick made sure every accommodation and tour experience was aware of this, which made the trip that extra special (all hotels and even the hot air balloon experience provided a honeymoon cake and danced and sang for us).
When we got picked up and taken to our first accommodation, Rajab made sure that we knew exactly what we were going to be doing each day of the trip and where we would be staying. Rajab and Patrick made sure that the food arranged by the hotels for our lunches were of the highest quality and not just sandwiches which we saw many of the larger companies provide their guest with.
They were also very knowledgeable about the wildlife, national parks, local fauna, constantly explaining the history, conservation efforts and information regarding the wildlife we came across in the national parks.
Rajab and Patrick at Sopai are 2 of the friendliest people you’ll ever meet and they even gave us a gift (Serengeti rose bottle) on our last day.
If you want an experience that feels authentic with kind and generous people who will go out of your way to make you feel special, Sopai safaris is the right guide for you

West Wild Adventure: Top-tier Chinese operator for seamless, unforgettable Tanzania safaris.
I cannot recommend West Wild Adventure highly enough! The owner, a genuine and dedicated Chinese entrepreneur, runs an outstanding operation that truly prioritizes both customer satisfaction and the well-being of his team. We discovered their services through red book(CHINA local app)and booked our Kilimanjaro climbing iternity, and it turned out to be one of the best decisions we made.From the initial planning stages, their communication was prompt, clear, and reassuring. During the climbing, the guides and support staff were incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and attentive, making every step of the journey safe and memorable. Even after we descended, their post-trip follow-up was thoughtful and thorough.Every aspect of our experience with West Wild Adventure exceeded our expectations. We felt genuinely well-cared for throughout our time in Tanzania. If you're looking for a reliable, trustworthy, and exceptional safari operator, look no further—West Wild Adventure is the perfect choice.

Disappointed by organization
I booked in November a safari with Marula. The communication was very fluid and everything was ok with Brian.
But 15 days before arriving in Kenya, Brian told me that the guide preferred to change itinerary and that we will begin by Tsavo to finish by Amboseli.
I told him that it was not really logical but I accepted the change.
On first day of safari, we were very surprised to have a very long drive from Nairobi and the driver explained us that Brian changed itinerary because he forgot to book hotels!!!
I was very angry against him because he lied to me and didn't propose me to change hotels instead.
Kenya is a wonderful country so we fortunately spent a nice trip but we lost a lot of time on road.

Fantastic organisers providing good information and very communicative
My daughter and I had the most amazing experience on our day safari from Zanzibar to Mikumi National Park. Our guides Harrison and Samuel were great and we could not have asked for a better team to tell us about the animals . We saw a lioness and her cubs minutes into our journey. We also saw elephants, zebras, giraffes, wildebeest hippos, impalas and antelopes. It was the best day ever and a must do!
