Unforgettable! - My husband and I just got back from a 5 day safari with Safari Soles. We looked into multiple tour companies and the main reason we chose Safari Soles was because of Irine. She was very responsive while we were in the US, even with the 8 hour time difference. During the process of planning and customizing, Irene was extremely patient and understanding. We had to add a couple days because of an emergency flight change. She made us feel at ease with this last minute change. Our itinerary was exactly what we planned. Irine also checked in with us during our journey in Tanzania to make sure everything was perfect. She went above and beyond to make sure we had an unforgettable trip!
When we arrived in Arusha, Andrew picked us up from the airport very early in the morning. He was also our guide the next morning for our Arusha city tour. This day was my birthday and he made it unforgettable for me. Andrew was very knowledgeable about the food, culture, art, and city. He taught us a lot of Swahili words that we will carry with us forever! The cultural experience with Andrew certainly did enhance our trip and was the perfect way to start our vacation.
Innocent was our Safari guide for four days. I can’t say enough wonderful things about him. He always gave us a rundown and explanation of our day, which we appreciated what to except including timeframes. It was truly astonishing everything he knew about the wildlife. He taught us so much. Some
of the terrain was difficult during rainy season, but Innocent made it seem easy and drove it like the professional that he is! He was able to spot animals from miles away, which blew my mind. He was patient and let us take as long as we needed to take in the beautiful surrounding us. Innocent made this trip remarkable for us. I can’t thank him enough!
I would highly recommend Safari Soles to anyone! Ask for Innocent to be your guide for a truly unforgettable experience! Thanks Irine, Andrew and Innocent for making our dream trip come true!!

A dream come true! - We just got back from a 5 day safari with Safari Soles. I began conversations with Irine from the sales team nearly a full calendar year before we traveled. She WAS the reason we went with Safari Soles over the competition. She was super responsive and let us customize the itinerary multiple times until it was exactly what we wanted. She was very patient with all the date changes. Everything that Irine discussed with us was exactly as it was when we arrived. Thank you Irine for all your help! You truly made this a special trip!
When we arrived in Arusha, we got to meet you guide Andrew. Andrew picked us up from the airport (at 2am) to take us to the hotel. After a 20 hour travel day, his punctuality was important to us. He also was our guide the next morning for our Arusha city tour. As a local, Andrew was extremely knowledgeable about the area and made us feel completely safe the entire time we visited the market and other locations. The cultural experience with Andrew certainly did enhance our trip and was the perfect way to kick off this vacation.
The last person I need to call out was our Safari guide Innocent. I really don’t even know where to begin. Innocent was an extremely skilled driver navigating the terrain like a true professional. We visited Tarangire national park, Serengeti National Park, and Ngorongoro cater during our safari. He always set proper expectations on the distance between these locations and always delivered. Innocent was EXTREMELY knowledgeable about all the wildlife. It is mind blowing to me how much he knew about all the animals that we encountered. He had an uncanny ability to spot animals from far distances, even spotting a Rhino from seemingly miles away. Due to this, we got to see 17 (yes really) Rhinos while in the crater. You can tell that Innocent loves what he does and loves the animals as much as we do. Innocent made this a magical experience and truly felt like family by the end of our safari. Words cannot express how thankful we are that he was our guide! Thank you so much Innocent!!
I would recommend Safari Soles to anyone locking to check a Safari off their bucket list!!! Ask for Innocent to be your guide for a truly unforgettable experience! Thanks Irine, Andrew and Innocent for making our dream trip come true!!

Once in a lifetime experience - My safari experience was unforgettable, to say the least. What made it truly incredible was our amazing tour guide, Huruma. His passion and knowledge were reflected in every part of our experience and truly completed it for us. He answered all our questions with patience and brought such genuine enthusiasm, which elevated every moment of the journey.
Huruma was incredibly skilled at spotting animals we would have easily missed. His love and passion for safari made each game drive exciting and something we eagerly looked forward to. He ensured we felt safe, comfortable, and well taken care of throughout the entire journey.
This experience was thrilling and deeply memorable. Thank you, Huruma, for such an incredible adventure.
Love,
Sarita

Best Safari Experience with Huruma - From our very first day , we felt welcomed, safe, and completely at ease.
Our tour guide Huruma was kind, patient, incredibly knowledgeable, and genuinely made our experience truely unforgettable. Every day felt special, and his passion for wild life and safari was very clear from the start.
Thank you so much for making our safari meaningful, memorable, and full of heart. Thank you for being patient while we filmed our videos and for dancing with us and making sure we got the best photos of the wild life.
These were the best three days of our trip and we wish we could do it all over again . We could not recommend Huruma enough for your next safari in Tanzania.
Love,

10/10 safari experience with Huruma - Our experience with Huruma was outstanding from start to finish. From the moment we landed, we were immediately welcomed with the warmest smile who immediately made us feel safe and at ease. Your kindness, patience, and the way you treated us with so much respect meant more to us than you may realise.
Every day on safari felt special. The way you shared your knowledge, looked out for us, and always made sure we were comfortable turned this experience into something far more meaningful than we ever imagined.You didn’t just show us animals or places, you gave us moments filled with heart, laughter, and connection. These first three days of our trip have been unforgettable, and it’s hard to imagine the rest of our holiday matching what you’ve already given us.
Thank you for being so patient with us when we were filming our TikTok’s and taking our photos and for always making us laugh. And thank you for being such an important part of our journey and for creating memories we will carry with us for the rest of our lives 🤍
Love,
Anisa

Brilliant safari experience - Our time exploring the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater was amazing!! Assad was a fantastic guide who knew all the best spots to see animals. He was flexible and incredibly kind and came with everything we needed in the car. Throughout the 3 days we saw every animal, even a black rhino in the Ngorogoro crater! I will definitely be recommending Safari Soles and Assad to all my friends looking to do a safari. Thank you so much Assad!!!

Incredible adventures with our unforgettable guide Banana and Safari Soles - Our private safari with Safari Soles was truly unforgettable. Everything was well organized — from the safari itinerary to domestic flights and hotel transfers. The team did their best to help with any questions or issues that came up along the way.
Our guide, Banana, was absolutely exceptional. He was friendly, knowledgeable and with a very good English. His deep knowledge of the wildlife, his sharp eye for spotting animals (even from a distance!) made every game drive exciting and memorable. He was patient, professional, and truly passionate about nature and conservation.
Thanks to him, we had the rare opportunity to see all Big Five, including a black rhino, which was a dream come true. We also spotted a leopard lounging in a tree and watched a cheetah and her baby — moments we’ll never forget.
The game drives in Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Crater were incredibly well-paced and tailored to our interests. We were never rushed and had plenty of time to soak in the beauty of each location. The scenery was absolutely breathtaking, and the wildlife sightings were beyond what we had hoped for.
The accommodations arranged by Safari Soles were excellent — clean, comfortable, and in beautiful locations. The food was delicious, and the staff everywhere were welcoming and kind.
This was truly a once-in-a-lifetime adventure, made possible by the expert planning of Safari Soles and the outstanding guidance of Banana. We wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking for a high-quality, personalized safari experience in Tanzania.

Highly Recommend Safari Soles!! - My family just completed a safari with Safari Soles, and the entire experience was fantastic from start to finish. We worked with Renata Paul to plan and book the trip, and she was truly exceptional. She was kind, responsive, and clear in communicating all our options. During the safari, our guide, Ally Kimea, was outstanding! He was very knowledgeable about all of the animals, super friendly, and always made sure we were enjoying ourselves. I highly recommend Safari Soles. They are a wonderful company with wonderful people!!

Amazing Experience with Safari Soles - My husband and I did a three day safari with Safari Soles. Julius helped us book everything and worked within my budget. We were able to include a hot air balloon ride and a night safari. The accommodations were amazing. Innocent was our guide and he was wonderful to work with. Innocent was accommodating when I became sick on our trip and was very kind and thoughtful. I highly recommend this company. They helped with every detail and everything they promised was accurate.

Amazing - The start of our private tour serengeti and ngorongoro did not start very well.
The first day we would be picked up there was already a miscommunication between safarisoles and the guide. We would be picked up early in the morning at 5:30 am. But that became 2 hours later.
We got a quite young guide we thought he drove quite fast, and especially towards ngoro huge bumpy road.
So this car broke down.
We had to wait for a new car ,and so we also got someone else to take us further, unfortunately he also drove very fast , while we met animals along the way and wanted to take a picture .
Unfortunately we broke down again with the car,
A flat tire.
Early in the evening we arrived at safari harbor lodge (serengeti) what a beautiful place it was. (Wow)..
We also got a new guide (unfortunately we forgot his name. Chabi? Jackie? who made everything right
We were so happy to have met him. He was very excited.
Thank you.
