Must visit with Sopai Safaris - What a wonderful experience with Sopai safaris! End to end planning was great- right from pick up from the airport to hotel stay to food to the car was just amazing. We were very satisfied with the arrangements. We didnot have a single disappointment day. On top of this the car was very comfortable and in great condition. The guide Tom, was very knowledgeable and helpful with answering any questions. He knew areas to look for wildlife and really put in an extra effort to spot the animals so that we get a view. What a phenomenal experience. We definitely recommend Sopai for your future trips.

Amazing experience - Amazing experience with Sopai Sopai Safaris. Highly recommend, we saw everything we had dreamt of and more. Our guide was so knowledgeable.

Amazing people, amazing safari! - Sopai Safaris offers such an amazing experience! I’m just back from Tanzania where me and my husband did a safari with Sopai Safaris across Tarangire NP, Ngorongoro Crater, Serengeti and Lake Manyara. It was our first safari and we couldn’t choose better. Mohamed welcomed us in the airport with a driver and together they brought us to Arusha in our first accomodation where he made sure to explain all the needed info for the safari days. The day after we met our fantastic safari guide Risiki who was a real gift for us, as his name says. Risiki is a really nice person and a very well prepared guide. He knows really a lot of animal behaviours and he shared all his knowledge with us. We were able to see all the big five in our first safari and we couldn’t ask for more. Moreover, we were really surprised in Serengeti when Risiki gifted us a wine bottle for a happy hour in the NP with a sunset view in front of baby lions playing with their moms. At the end of the safari we met again with Mohamed who made sure we enjoyed our experience in the 4 days safari. I really loved how Mohamed is taking care of his clients and wants to make sure to make you happy. We couldn’t wait to come back to Africa!

Higly recommended - Thanks to SOPAI it was one of the best experiences in life so far. Starting from very simple things as always clean car, nice food, magnificent safari tents, good scedule, attention to us and help if necessary. Special thanks to our guide David - very nice person who during one week became our friend. He is a real professional, you can see that it’s not just his job, it’s his passion. He knows everything about every single animal we saw and with his help we were able not just to see the animals but also analyze what and why they are doing, their reactions, etc. Since the first safari day we knew that SOPAI team will take care of us and do everything so we would have the best experience. I cannot compare SOPAI with other companies providing similar services, but I don’t believe that it’s possible to get something more. Higly recommended.

Amazing Safari company - David’s knowledge of animal behaviour was fantastic! He was always the first guide to get in position, whether it was a herd of Wildebeest crossing the Mara river or for a lion stalking gazelles.

5 Days Tansania Safari - I highly recommend Sopai Safaris. Thanks to Patrik and Rajab. Everything went very well. and we had an amazing experience. Rajab as our guide is very knowledgeable about wild animals, their behaviors and where to take good pictures of them. He is also very nice to talk with. If you have any question, just ask him. Patrik as our driver is also very professional, drives smoothly, even the road condition in May is not ideal. Food, accommodation, airport pickup, everything else are all perfect and well organized. Nothing to worry. Absolutely recommend it!

Unforgettable experience with amazing Safari Guide - My husband and I booked our 4-day safari at Sopai and it was honestly the best decision. Booking went very smooth and Rajab answered all of our questions within shortest time (communication mainly via WhatsApp which made it so easy). From the beginning we felt in good hands. We told Rajab which places we would like to visit and the safari route was then planned according to our wishes. Our route was the following: 1. Tarangire National Park 2. Ngorongoro Crater & Serengeti 3. Serengeti National Park 4. Lake Manyara Sopai showed very high flexibility in terms of pick-up place and place for ending the tour. Preparation: Rajab gave us detailed information on the safari tour + accommodation options already prior to our arrival in Tanzania. When we finally arrived in our hotel in Arusha Rajab was already waiting for us to give us a warm welcome & a brief introduction. We were told once again about the route and about the exact lodge names. Safari: Our safari guide David made this experience so valuable and special and I‘m so happy that he shared his knowledge and so many stories with us on the road. He has an incredibly vast knowledge about the animals, landscape and in general about Tanzania. We had very interesting conversations and luckily we were able to see so many animals within these 4 days. [We saw 2 leopards & one of them was completely visible in Lake Manyara National Park, how rare is that?!]. David really knows about his profession and handles everything very patiently. He has a very good eye for upcoming special moments with the animals and handles the traffics in the National Parks very smoothly. David was very eager to fulfill our wishes and cared a lot about our well-being. Lodges: We stayed at The Farm of Dreams Lodge during the 1st and 3rd night. This lodge is built up like a little village with many luxury lodges. Really wonderful accommodation with very friendly service. They have a pool, bar and a restaurant where we had our breakfast and dinner. For the 2nd night we stayed at Signature Seregenti in a tented camp which was really the best glamping experience I could have ever asked for. It is a huge tent with private washroom and shower area. Very welcoming team and just a great experience to be so close to the animals. You can hear the lions and hyanas in the night and in the evening when we went for dinner, the staff showed us a herd of zebras passing by. This was really breathtaking. Both accommodations were very clean. Food: Both in the accommodations and during safari we were offered very delicious and healthy food with huge variety. During safari we always had our lunch at a picnic site in one of the national parks. It consisted always of a salad option, a veggie option and then a meat option + some carbs like pasta, rice, etc. In the accommodations the food was very good, too. It‘s usually an open buffet where you can get what you want. But here again, healthy & freshly cooked with lot‘s of veggie options so that everyone is happy. Pricing: Compared to other safari tour providers Sopai‘s price is very appropriate. The service, safety, accommodations and the food are completely worth the price. All in all 10/10 experience. Sopai is very trustworthy and reliable and consists of a great team. If you are thinking about booking a safari, I would really recommend to go with Sopai. I would for sure choose them again. Thanks again to Raj and David for making our journey so special and treating us so well.

10/10 experience! - It was an amazing experience! Preparation of the Safari: The communication with Rajab - while we were still in Germany - before the Tour started was extremely professional and quick. He responds within minutes and always had an answer to our questions. The booking process was easy, we could choose between several options for the national parks we wanted to see. He even arranged a Sim Card for our arrival. Arrival in Arusha: the evening we arrived in our hotel Rajab was already there. He gave us a detailled briefing for the Safari. He double checked the National Parks we wanted to visit and the accomodations that go with it. The Safari: No words can describe that experience! Rajab was already waiting in the hotel lobby in the Morning. He introduced us to our guide David. There was not a single boring moment during our 4 days Safari. David knows everything about the Parks and animals! He gave us detailled information and fun facts about the animals. He is experienced and has a perfect sense for finding animals. Because of that there were several moments of us being alone within metres of wild animals without other safari cars around. He is very client orientated and makes sure to find the perfect angle for you to take pictures (he is a hobby photographer so he knows which angles are needed). We saw all of the big 5 (plus many many other animals of course)! He even found a leopard on a tree very close to us in Lake Manyara National Park - very rare and an unforgettable moment! David always stays near a sighting until you are finished enjoying the moment. On the way between parks and lodges he shares funny and interesting stories, making sure there is no dull moment. We took the route: Tarangire - Ngorogoro - Serengeti - Lake Manyara. We can recommend each park, as they are all very different from each other. David made sure that we take a break whenever we needed one and the Lunch at the picknick sites always constisted of several options (also veggie) which were all really good! Also David is a safe driver who is willing to adjust to the client. Accomodation: we had a 4 Day Safari. The first night we stayed at Farm of Dreams Lodge in Karatu. It is unbeliebably beatiful! The service is perfect and there is a special welcome service. If you are lucky you might see a Group performing local dances and songs. The rooms are luxurious and the food is delicious! The second night we stayed at Signature Serengeti. It is a tented camp in the heart of the Serengeti. The tents look more like houses than tents, due to them being huge. The room is spacious and the bathroom as well. There is hot water and electricity available. At night you can hear lions roar and hiyanas sing, which makes for a great concert and an unforgettable experience! The crew makes sure that wild animals don't enter the camp. The food was very tasty and the crew always makes sure that you are well! And dont worry: there is running water and private washrooms with water toilets :) The third night we stayed at Farm of Dreams again. After the Safari: David made sure we leave on time to catch our flight from JRO airport. We met with Rajab on the way there who followed up and made sure everything was to our satisfaction. All in all it the Safari was an amazing experience! The price was more than fair for a private tour which includes the safari, accomodations and 3 meals per day. There is also a fridge in the car which is filled with water and soda which is also included in the price. Rajab, David and the crews at the lodges are professional and provide the best service you can imagine. If you plan to visit Tanzania for a Safari make sure to go with Sopai! 10/10 experience and special thanks to Rajab and David!

Unforgettable experience - Beautiful and unforgettable experience. Very well organized safari. Rajad organized everything according to our needs and budget. Vincent accompanied us on the tour with experience, respect for the environment and a lot of professionalism. Thanks to him we saw many animals and all the big five. Extremely exciting. The lodges we stopped at were fabulous. Thanks to both of you.

Beyond what we imagined. Book with Sopai. - Top to Bottom 11/10 experience! Rajab's (founder and owner) communication was professional, clear. He was always readily available. We needed to make a change to our itinerary after our initial booking an he was able to help us out. Rajab met us for our initial briefing and followed up in person at the end of the Safari to make sure everything had gone smoothly. Our stays were a combination of lodges (with pools) and tented camps. The stay at each type of accommodation were welcoming and kind. Our beds were always comfortable and facilities were tidy. BIG shout out to our guide Leonard. He was a true expert in Safari. We were able to see the big 5 throughout 4 different parks. Leonard always provided a solid game plan for each day and was definitely went above and beyond what we may have imagined. He had expert knowledge of the land, roads, vegitation, and wildlife. We shared many laughs and created lasting memories.
