ECKY is an outstanding guide and put in all his effort to provide an amazing experience!
Exceeded my expectations in every way. I felt completely safe travelling alone as a woman. Everything was well organised, reliable and great value for money. We were incredibly lucky to see so many animals, and our guide ECKY was absolutely amazing — knowledgeable, attentive and genuinely passionate.
Highly recommend!

Comprehensive and excellent
We thoroughly enjoyed our wonderful time on Safari with Signature Safari. Our guide Dismas was a very knowledgeable engaging and professional guide. He provided unique insight into the wildlife of Ngorongoro/Serengeti, its ecosystem, and the overall culture/history of Tanzania throughout our time which made the experiences memorable. He is an excellent driver and tended to any needs or request on our behalf. Inno and his team were always great making the whole journey seamless and enjoyable. They are very nice people with warm hearts and would recommend them for any potential safari experience.

Amazing Gorilla Trekking with Ian
We booked a very last minute gorilla trekking tour from Kigali with Standard Safaris, and everything was perfectly organized from start to finish. The booking process via WhatsApp was incredibly easy, fast, and uncomplicated.
Our guide, Ian, picked us up right on time at our hotel in Kigali. The entire tour was an amazing experience, but Ian truly made it unforgettable. From the beginning, he told us to let him know anytime we wanted to stop for photos, which made the drive much more enjoyable. He also introduced us to traditional Ugandan food along the way and shared interesting information about the country and its culture.
Ian is genuinely one of the kindest and warmest people we have met. His friendliness, enthusiasm, and care made us feel welcome throughout the whole trip. Thank you, Ian, for making this experience so special:)

Amazing Wildlife, Beautiful Parks and Great Hospitality
Everything was perfect. The combination of Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro is perfect. The guide explained the behavior of the animals and the peculiarities of the park well, took them to a good place for photos. The last day of the hike at Materuni Waterfall and the hot springs experience was very refreshing. Accommodation was comfortable and the food was good. All trips are safe and secure. If you want to see the Northern Circuit of Tanzania, I highly recommend this package of Rehoboth Safaris. I want to go again!!

An exceptional tour operator, professional, friendly, and passionate, who made our safari an unforge
An unforgettable 4-day, 3-night safari in the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater!
What an incredible experience! From the very beginning to the end, everything was absolutely perfect. We spent 4 unforgettable days exploring the breathtaking landscapes of the Serengeti and the spectacular Ngorongoro Crater, with incredible wildlife encounters at every turn.
A huge thank you to Joshua and his brother John for making this trip so special. Their professionalism, kindness, passion, and knowledge made the whole experience even more enjoyable. They were always attentive to our needs and did everything possible to make sure we had the best safari experience possible.
The Serengeti was simply magical, with amazing wildlife and stunning scenery, while the Ngorongoro Crater was truly breathtaking. Every day brought new discoveries and unforgettable memories. Seeing lions, elephants, zebras, giraffes, hippos, and so many other animals in their natural habitat was an experience we will never forget.
The organization was excellent, the communication was easy, and everything was handled with great care. We felt safe and well looked after throughout the entire trip. Joshua and John were not only excellent guides, but also wonderful people who made us feel comfortable from day one.
We also really appreciated their flexibility and their ability to adapt the safari to what we wanted to see and experience. Their knowledge of the parks and wildlife was impressive, and they always knew where to go to give us the best possible opportunities for wildlife sightings.
If you are looking for an authentic, unforgettable, and perfectly organized safari in Tanzania, we highly recommend Joshua and John. We could not have asked for a better experience and would happily choose them again without hesitation.
Thank you again, Joshua and John, for these incredible memories! We will never forget this adventure. 🦁🐘🌍

A Truly Memorable Safari Experience from Start to Finish
This was my first safari, and I could not have asked for a better experience.
Before the trip, Tabitha was incredibly responsive and provided comprehensive information whenever I had questions. Her clear and helpful communication gave me great peace of mind, especially as a first-time safari traveler.
Our guide, Jack, was absolutely fantastic. His knowledge of the animals was extensive, and thanks to his expertise and dedication, we were able to see all of the Big Five. He always positioned the vehicle carefully so that we could get the best possible views and take great photos. One of my favorite moments was simply watching the sunset together over the plains, with a herd of wildebeest in front of us. Moments like that made the experience truly special.
Jack also drove very safely and always made us feel comfortable during the journey, so we could relax and fully enjoy the safari.
Overall, I have no complaints at all. Everything went smoothly, and thanks to Tabitha and Jack, this became one of the highlights of my life. I would highly recommend this operator to anyone, especially first-time safari travelers.

Truly incredible and unforgettable 10 day safari experience, with Safari Soles and Christian!
Truly incredible 10 day safari experience. One I won’t ever forget. I can’t recommend Safari Soles highly enough. Book with them and request Christian as your guide! They are very organised, everything ran smoothly and it was truly a special trip!
Safari Soles have top of the range and new land cruisers, which are so comfortable and which I was obsessed with and wanted one myself!
As a solo female traveller it was very difficult to choose from the overwhelming excellent number of safari companies northern Tanzania has to offer, but I was extremely happy with Safari Soles. I had made a fantastic choice. A big shout out to Gladness who was so helpful, patient and reassuring in organising the whole itinerary. I visited Tarangire national park (highest concentration of African elephants), Lake Manyara (excellent for birds I saw such a variety), Arusha NP & Central, northern and western Serengeti. Out of so many companies Gladness was the one who made me feel most at ease, the most reassuring, and was able to build and adapt a safari itinerary for me based on my preferences and bduget, especially as a birder and wildlife photographer, I wanted to maximise the time in the Serengeti as much as possible and she made this happen. She was always honest, calm and listened carefully. Asante sana sana dada. I also liked that we were able to communicate on the phone via whatsapp, thank you for everything you did. Shout out also to Kilian who picked me up from the airport and gave me a guided tour of Arusha town and the local markets. He is so kind and helpful and went out of his way to find me a Tanzania bracelet and called his office to make sure there was a surprise birthday cake for me out in the Serengeti. Asante sana sana. All the accommodations chosen by Safari Soles were great for me, all the staff were always so welcoming and down to earth. I especially enjoyed staying at the Mbuni tented lodge in central Serengeti. The staff there are so lovely. Just sleeping out amongst nature is very special and the tented lodge is gorgeous, comfortable and has everything you need.
My highest praise of my trip must go to my guide Christian. An experienced and exceptionally skilled driver, his knowledge and passion on wildlife, the national parks and local culture. From the moment I met Christian we got along instantly. He has the biggest heart, kind, down to earth, funny, professional, reliable and full of charm. He has an infectious smile, is thoughtful and always made me feel safe and comfortable. He was impressed that I had attempted to learn Swahili and it was great to have him teach and practice the language with me throughout the trip. Asante sana sana. Wewe ni nyumbu? Haha. I was fortunate last year to be on safari in Namibia and Botswana and although the guides there were also great, Christian was incredible. He has a good eye and was able to spot wildlife very easily, had excellent knowledge about the mammals and birds and I learnt many new facts about how they all interacted and socialised. He just illuminates happiness and passion for his work.
Safari soles and Christian have a stand out land cruiser vehicle, brand new and in a unique stand out mint green colour which is so beautiful. It’s very comfortable, fridge, space to move around and has air conditioning too! We had other guides and tourists comment on how nice the land cruiser was as it was new. I felt very lucky! We had no issues at all. Christian is such an excellent driver, he could navigate the bumpy roads and areas of the Serengeti and all of the national parks such as Tarangire and lake Manyara so easily and carefully, nothing phased him. He could anticipate wildlife movement and crossings so naturally which enabled him to manoeuvre the vehicle so carefully and easily to make sure you had the best sighting of the wildlife but also in a respectful and sustainable way for the wildlife. Which I greatly appreciated. He is well experienced and navigated the roughest of roads so smoothly. You knew you had a special person and guide when other safari vehicles would stop and ask him in particular for directions or tips. How he navigated the vast Serengeti without any map at all just blows my mind! He is also meticulous in keeping the land cruiser clean and in top condition every day. He cared deeply about how he presented the vehicle or when he set up the lunchtime Serengeti picnic spots. Safari Soles is one very very lucky company to have such an incredible and caring person and guide working for them.
Thanks to Christian, the amount of mammals and birds I saw was never ending! I couldn’t keep up with my specific note taking list! We visited many areas of the Serengeti, I wasn't expecting to see as much as I did, knowing these animals are wild in such a vast space! It is a blessing. I called Christian my lucky charm because with him, we saw such incredible wildlife encounters. We saw the big 5, small 5, pretty 5 and more, 5 leopards, 4 rhinos in Ngorongoro crater , Wildebeest migration, the tree climbing lions in Manyara NP (which other guides noted are very hard and rare to see) and even the leopard shell tortoise. So many special moments such as watching the sunset with 3 male lions by our side, seeing a mother cheetah with her four cute cubs and waiting patiently to see a leopard with her two young cubs. I love big cats so having the opportunity to sit and observe them in the wild where they truly belong was just so magical and quite emotional. Christian is so patient, especially as I wanted time to observe and photograph birds (which he has probably seen a million times) he never once rushed me. He works so hard, with so much driving and concentration with back to back safaris and is always so enthusiastic. I don’t know how he does it! He also made sure my birthday in the Serengeti was extra special by having a birthday cake amongst the wildlife and maximised my time with animals as much as possible. It was the best birthday I had ever had. Asante sana sana Chris. These are moments we will treasure forever. If Chris is your guide you are very very lucky!! He is the BEST!
I can’t recommend Safari Soles and Christian highly enough. If you opt to do safari with them, you will not be disappointed. When I return to the Serengeti I will be going with Safari Soles again and request for Christian. I have included some of MANY incredible photos. Tanzania is a beautiful country and the Serengeti is just so special. You will have such a great experience. Tanzania na Serengeti ni nzuri Sana Kabisa. Asanteni sana kwa kila kitu, timu ya Safari Soles.
