A once in a lifetime experience, worth all the long distance travel and cost.
Our booking agent did a tremendous and professional job. Everything went according to the plan. Drivers were waiting for us at all destination, our guide, Wilson, was extraordinary, knowledgeable, experienced, accommodating and overall a very pleasant individual. The suggested camps and hotel suggested by our booking agent were as promised, comfortable, secure with an exemplary staff. Tanzanian are overall a very welcoming nation, whether they were in the hotel and restaurants or on the street. People smiled and greeted us everywhere warmly. The safari went smoothly in spite of the safari trail that were providing an African massage!! Lions, elephants, and all manners of birds and mammals, close encounters even, that made a memorable trip.
We went to Zanzibar after the safari. That too was extremely interesting and after all the trailblazing, a welcome rest. Go to Tanzania, it's a great experience.

Incredible wildlife & natural beauty, and outstanding experience with wonderful Tanzanian peoples.
My husband and I had an unforgettable safari experience in Tanzania! Our guide, Kunda, and tour company were exceptional. We saw every animal on our list and more. Delicious food and wonderful accommodations! We couldn't have asked for a better experience and highly recommend Tanzania to anyone looking for an incredible safari!

Amazing experience visiting Tanzania
Visiting Tanzania, especially Zanzibar was an amazing experience.Zanzibar is an incredible destination for enjoying the beautiful beaches and the amazing nature. We did a lot of trips and every single one war great! Also visting the mainland for a safari was something I will never forget.The operator -Plex Africa Safsris - was the best choice for organizing the trip.We saw a lot of animals, the guide had so much knowledge, and visiting a local primary school and a Massai village the other day was an unforgettable experience.I fell in love with the country, the nature and the friendly people.I will definitely go back to discover more of this beautiful country and learn more about the people; it’s 100% worth visiting Tanzania/Zanzibar.

An adventure of a lifetime!
The national parks in Tanzania are beautifully preserved. It's magical to see so many wild animals living safely and well protected.
The people of Tanzania show great hospitality. The tour guides are very knowledgeable and the accommodation and food was high quality.

Where you can see the circle of life
We were in the north western part for a safari (Tarangire, Manyara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro). Going to Tanzania means immersing yourself in nature at its best. You are the guest in the animal house. The quantity of wild animals is impressive. We lost count of how many zebras, elephants, giraffes, hippos and monkeys we saw up close. There were also lions, hyenas and cheetahs. A safari in that area also means crossing real African villages where you can see a way of life light years away from Western metropolises. I recommend a tour to a village at the end of the safari to get in touch with the local society. Important and much appreciated thing: in general there is always a safe situation, even in the villages.

Incredible trip! Couldn’t have been better.
Absolutely wonderful safari with Safari Soles Tour group. I had initially started organizing with another 5 star Safari company but they made multiple mistakes and price was ridiculously high for almost the same Safari as booked with Safari Soles. Private safari with my 2 daughters. This is my 3rd trip to Africa, and 2nd time to Tanzania. You’ll not find kinder, nicer more accommodating people in the world. We stayed at the following
Upon arrival in Kilimanjaro - River Tree. Food wonderful. Staff helpful and kind. Accommodations nice and interesting. Food very good. Monkeys and landscaping and restaurant were marvelous.
Proceeded to the following
Lake Manyara
Tarangire
Northern Serengeti
Central Serengeti
Southern Serengeti
Ngorongoro Crater
Accommodations: Oliver’s Camp, Orankira, Highlands all by Asilia group. Incredible. Beautiful. Breathtaking. Food 5 star. Staff 5 star. Accommodations truly wonderful. Sleeping under the stars and hearing animals all night is a dream.
Ideas to make trip more exceptional - hot air balloon, walking safaris, open air jeep when possible, canoe or kayak, early morning and night game drives, flying in between some locations.
We have special dietary needs and we were accommodated and so much better than in the USA. Always fresh and healthy. Unique. Tasty. Even the food packed every day for our game drives was super delicious. Gluten free bread, latkes, sweets made for us.
For departure we stayed at Arusha Coffee Lodge. Colonial architecture. Wonderful food. Take the coffee tour.
Hands down the most wonderful holiday we’ve ever had. Thank you Safari Soles Tours and for our 2 week guide Innocent and our addition guide with the open air Jeep named Mona.

Amazing vacation
We first went to Zanzibar and then took a domestic flight to Tanzania and then back to Zanzibar. The nature parks are very beautiful with many animals. Ngongoro is definitely worth it. Saw a lot of animals. Spending a night in the middle of the Serengeti is also an adventure.
Zanzibar is an emerging country, in some places you only have to rely on your own hotel for food. I haven't seen a boulevard.

Extrodinary landscapes and animals
Tanzania is a phenomenal country with inspiring conservation. It was incredible to see the animals in their natural habitat and see how they are protected. The Seregetti is extraordinary and the great migration one of the seven wonders of nature.
We used Safarisoles and I cannot reccommend them enough- we had a medical emergency halfway through the trip (unrelated to Tanzania or the safari) and their care and assistance was incredible.
