Amazing safari experience with Safari Soles - We just completed a fantastic tour with Safari Soles. From start to finish everything was done professionally. Renata handled our booking, was extremely responsive and answered all of our questions. Estomih was our guide and he was amazing. He provided so much information about the flora and fauna we were seeing and was an expert at spotting animals. He could not do enough to please us and had a great sense of humor on top of it. It was such a pleasure spending a week with him. All of the accommodations were top notch and the food was delicious. The staff at accommodations were also extremely nice and did everything to make us feel welcome. Overall it was an amazing experience thanks to everyone at Safari Soles. If it were possible to give them more than five stars I would.

7-day Tarangire, Ngorongoro Crater, and Serengeti - Many thanks to Godlisten and Dickson of #SafariSoles! They were excellent guides, and always find THE BEST spots to see animals amazing plethora of animals!! They even managed to find us all of the Big 5 to photograph and enjoy! We would HIGHLY recommend them both, and Safari Soles! Our tour took us from Arusha through Tarangire, Ngorongoro Crater, and Central and Northern Serengeti. Add in the hot air balloon ride on the last full day, and a short flight back south and it was, indeed, the trip of a lifetime!

A wonderful experience - We had a wonderful safari experience and everything went according to the itinerary. The places and animals were amazing. The staff at the resorts/camps were very friendly and wonderful, the food at every place was excellent as was the service. Our guide and driver Hussien is such a lovely person and was a pleasure to be with. He went out of his way to ensure we had a great experience, nothing was too much trouble for him. His knowledge of the animals was great and his driving skills were excellent. We were lucky to have him as our guide. Highly recommend.

An incredible safari trip with an amazing guide (Innocent) making it a very special holiday from start to finish. - Probably best summed up as the experience of a lifetime from start to finish. We didn’t know much about Safari Soles before booking with them but had seen them recommended by several well-known safari Vloggers on YouTube. We must have been incredibly difficult to deal with from their side (we were on version 23 of the itinerary at the point of booking!) but the service from Patrick was exemplary and responsive throughout, including accommodating our request for a particular hotel in Zanzibar that they also booked for us after our week of safari. As bookers from the UK, having now finished the safari I can comfortably say that anything provided by Kuoni, Auldley Travel etc. would cost literally twice as much and still not have the inclusions we had on our trip. The jeep we were driven in for the duration of our tour was only about 2 years old and instead of the usual 6/7 seat configuration in the safari Land Cruisers, ours only had 4. There were only 2 of us on the trip so this was so much more spacious and practical when watching wildlife stood up than if it had been a vehicle with more seats. There was also a cooler between the 2 rear seats which was stocked with water, beer, white wine and coke throughout the trip. A highlight of the trip was our guide, Innocent. He was incredibly friendly and cheery from start to finish, his English was excellent, his knowledge of the wildlife was brilliant and most importantly he was an exceptional guide in spotting the wildlife. On multiple occasions during the trip Innocent spotted either a lion, cheetah or leopard before any other vehicles were nearby, giving us a completely uninterrupted view of the animal. He also spotted a black rhino from a crazy distance in Ngorongoro Crater on the last day of our trip. We felt incredibly safe at all times during our trip, despite some fairly crazy dirt roads (particularly between Arusha and Ngorogoro where the dirt track follows the ridge line of the crater and a number of other vehicles drove crazily. All of the hotels and lodges we stayed at throughout the trip were without any hassle at all. For anyone who hasn’t been on safari before the daily lunch is typically provided by the accommodation you stay at the previous night and the quality/type of food varies a lot. With Safari Soles we always received a full hot meal for lunch packed in tiffin boxes to eat either at a stop-off point or sometimes with the full table and food setup laid out on the bonnet of the jeep. We would frequently see other people getting a stale sandwich and a carton of fruit juice whilst we were enjoying curries, rice, vegetables and sometimes dessert, all for lunch! There were several times where we requested some slight changes to our itinerary or advice from Innocent on what time to leave our accommodation or arrive at the next lodge. Again, every time it just worked out perfectly with our timings - when we were up for a long game drive we got to our accommodation late in the evening, when we wanted an early finish we always got to the lodge early, credit to Innocent. We had a number of extras booked through Safari Soles and a highlight was definitely the hot air balloon flight we did over the Serengeti one early morning. As with every other aspect of our trip, the extras booked were handled seamlessly and the drivers they used to pick us up for these were also excellent - within 5 minutes of our collection at 04:30 for the hot air balloon flight our driver had spotted a leopard hunting with a hyena and pulled of the track to ensure we got the best of the action. All in all an amazing trip. Innocent was a brilliant guide and driver who we hope to use again in the future and Safari Soles were excellent in putting together the original itinerary. We couldn’t recommend highly enough.

If you’re coining to Tanzania it has to be with Patrick and Innocent from safari soles! - Safari soles have been incredible from start to finish. They were so patient through the whole booking process and helped us find something perfect for us. We chose to do a 7 day safari migration tour from Arusha, then Tarangire then onto the central Serengeti, onwards to northern Serengeti and then go all Ngorongoro crater. Our guide Innocent went above and beyond to make us feel safe, looked after and see all the animals we could only dreamt of seeing. How he can spot them miles away I have no idea. He knew every answer to all our questions, navigated the bumpy roads like a pro and was so kind and patient. We are absolutely sure we will be back in Tanzania some time soon and would do everything exactly the same. This trip wouldn’t be the same without Patrick at safari souls and Innocent. THANKYOU

Unforgettable Safari with Efraem Solomon and Safari Soles - Our safari through the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater with Safari Soles was absolutely amazing, and a big part of that was thanks to our incredible guide, Efraem Solomon. Efraem was everything you’d hope for in a guide — professional, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable. He had an amazing eye for spotting wildlife and made sure we had the best views while always respecting the animals and environment. Thanks to him, we saw the Big Five and so much more — lions, cheetahs, elephants, even a black rhino! He also shared fascinating insights about animal behavior, local culture, and the ecosystems we were exploring. His passion was contagious and really enhanced the entire experience. The trip was perfectly organized, the vehicle was super comfortable, and the accommodations exceeded our expectations. If you’re planning a safari in Tanzania, I highly recommend Safari Soles — and if you can, ask for Efraem Solomon. He made this trip unforgettable.

Perfect safari trip - Everything was perfect from the start. Great jeep, spacious and well stocked with wine, beer and soft drinks. Freddie was an amazing guide, did everything to ensure we had the best experience, and the wildlife was incredible. No effort was spared to help us see all the animals we could.

Life-changing Safari with Godlisten and Dickson - We recently returned from a 7-day safari with Safari Soles, and it was truly one of the most unforgettable experiences we've ever had. In Tarangire, Ngorogoro, and the Serengeti, we were incredibly fortunate to witness a wide array of wildlife including lions, hippos, zebras, buffalo, giraffes, baboons, and many, many more species (including a rhino!) in their natural habitat. Every game drive brought something new and exciting. A huge part of what made the experience so special were our guides, Godlisten and Dickson. Their deep knowledge of the parks, animals, and local culture enriched every moment. They were not only expert spotters and drivers, but also incredibly kind, patient, and genuinely passionate about what they do. They made us feel welcome, safe, and constantly inspired by the beauty of Tanzania!! Thank you ❤️

Outstanding- would return in a heartbeat - From start to finish, Safari Soles have been a pleasure to deal with- Happines was fantastic in dealing with our enquiry and providing an itinerary we were happy with. She is proactive and responded very promptly to any questions we had. Safari Soles dealt with everything including airport transfers, even though we had a few days between arriving and starting the Safari. Shengena was our Guide and Driver and he was AMAZING- so passionate and knowledgeable about the land and wildlife. He was also happy to talk to us about Masai culture which we appreciated. He was great fun and we were bereft to leave him after the week was done. Finally, I should say his driving was very good considering how dubious it can be on those roads! We stayed in a range of lodges and in every one the accommodation was very comfortable and the food was fantastic. Our one apprehension was about the food but we had a delicious hot breakfast, lunch and dinner each day- Sero tented Lodge was amazing for food! On our final day, we enjoyed the foothills tour, the coffee experience and Chemka hot springs - it was really nice to be out of the car for a day and able to walk and speak with some locals so we would recommend this part of the trip. We would absolutely recommend Safari Soles- every touch point we have had has been so professional and helpful- they have been a pleasure to deal with.
