Organized given the existing infrastructure
Communication was good and 24/7. There are many players in the “tour”. The organizer Ariphine - the truck owners- the drivers (some employed with trucks and some freelancers)- the lunch stops (bullion plus rice - at best) and sleeping camps. Hot water is at times NOT available in certain camps (although supposed to have) or no pressure. Expect dust everyday. Araphine made the best with what she had to work with and I thank her for that !!! 24/7. I am writing this so people can understand how it’s so important to have the organizer !

Amazing
We just finished a five full-day tour in Tarangire, Ngorongoro, and Serengeti. Our guide was Julieth and things couldn’t have been better: great weather, so many animals, and the best guide ever. We had so many amazing experiences that were driven by Julieth’s experience and knowledge. We learned a ton, took hundreds of pictures of animals, and made memories that will stay with us for a lifetime. The only thing we would add is that late January is the perfect time due to all of the animal babies and fewer tourists. Thank you Soul of Tanzania and especially Julieth!

Fantastic！！！
The overall service was excellent. The team was highly responsive and efficient throughout the planning process. During the safari, our guide was incredibly attentive and thoughtful. Whenever animals were spotted, he would speed up to get us closer, ensuring we made the most of the experience. We managed to see the Big Five and many other smaller creatures as well.
What stood out even more was how our guide often went the extra mile—literally—to find us the best photo opportunities. My most memorable moment was in Amboseli at sunset. While many safari vehicles crowded in one spot, our guide drove further away and found us a perfect viewpoint where a herd of elephants lined up against the setting sun. It was breathtaking.
After returning to Nairobi, I was quite exhausted and visibly tired. Steve noticed and kindly checked in to see if I was okay. It’s these thoughtful touches that made the trip truly exceptional.
Overall, it was an absolutely fantastic journey. If given the chance, I would definitely choose them again.

They were fantastic. Hard working great great human beings!!
I’ve vacationed to Tanzania 3 times, and will be the only place I will vacation in the future. I’m in love with the wide open Serengeti and large groups of animals it offers. Simply amazing and you just don’t know “what you’re going to see around the next corner “! And the working people at camps along the way are the best sincere people you’ll ever meet. The accommodations and food is top notch too.

It was perfect
Our safari at Arusha National Park was absolutely amazing, and a big part of that was thanks to our excellent driver, Alex. He was incredibly professional, drove very smoothly, and made us feel safe the entire time. What really stood out was his patience — he always took his time to stop near the animals so we could observe them properly and enjoy every moment. Alex also explained everything very clearly and shared a lot of interesting information about the wildlife and the park. Thanks to him, the safari was not only beautiful but also very enriching. Highly recommended!

The man who knows everyone, and the one everybody needs in their safari
Steve organized train, transport to-, and from the train-station, accommodations, and water for us.
Steve cooperated with other guides, so we could witness all the exotic wildlife Mikumi national park had to offer.
Steve is an expert in his field, and shared facts and stories from 10 years of experience.
With Steve’s eyesight of an eagle, he saw wildlife in the horizon. If we didn’t hear from the guides, Steve would see something.
We got to experience elephants, giraffes, impalas, zebras, and even lion female, male and cubs up close, only a few meters from the car!

A tear jerking experience
Have just finished our 5 day safari with Safari Soles & can honestly say it was one of the best experiences of our lives. I booked the holiday on a whim for my husband and I not knowing too much of the ins and outs of doing a safari, we didn’t have too much time to do one, only 5 days. However from the moment of booking to the end of our trip they curated everything perfectly to meet our budget & timeframe. We saw the Big 5 and couldn’t believe how many animals we saw each day, every day provided something different and the scenery was just something else. It was so special on our last day that i even cried whilst watching 10 elephants happily grazing in the Ngorongoro crater during sunrise. I want to put a special mention to our wonderful guide Christian, he was the perfect tour guide, calm, funny, informative & kind. Asante Chris for giving us the best experience which we will never forget. Highly reccomend!!!

Without doubt - the go to destination for wildlife, birds and breathtaking scenery
We embarked on a 5 day/4 night tour of Northern Tanzania’s safari parks, starting in Arusha, then on to Tanganire, followed by the incomparable Ngonorona Crater and finally the stunning Serengeti. These experiences were all so varied, including a walking safari to waterfalls, taking in giraffe, water buffalo , warthogs and various birds; the Crater with unbelievable wildlife breadth in a lake filled plain and finally the breathtaking Serngeti with multiple Big 5 viewings and unadultered African countryside. The lodges and luxury camps are worthy of individual mention. Africa has never failed with its Safari offerings, but having experienced South Africa, Zimbabwe, Botswana and Kenya, I am in no doubt that Tanzania offers the overall best experience.
