Safarisoles Rocks🙌🏻🤘🏻🤞🏻 - Safarisoles made our dream come true of experiencing an amazing African safari. Me and my wife had a 5 day safari trip in February 2025. The entire process right from the beginning to end was very smooth and legit. Our travel consultant Oken Alick prepared an itinerary catering to all of our needs even suggested swapping some of the places we didn’t consider to visit but were more suitable for the season. And we ended up loving those places. All of the accommodation booked were according to our needs and our transfers from airport to hotel and back were safe and worry free. The best part was Our guide Simon - AKA Safari monster —> was as amazing as it gets. He was professional, honest, knowledgeable and a wonderful human being as well as a great company for our safari trip. We had read great reviews of him on the page and he met all our expectations and even surpassed it. We told him our wish list about what we wanted to see/accomplish and he was able to get all of them including seeing all Big Fives. He goes to great lengths to give you the experience you deserve like one day, He drove constant 3-4 hours to catch site of Leopard which was in another area that he heard on radio while we were relaxing and focusing on taking pictures. One another major perk of having Simon as your safari guide is he is also a great photographer and will make sure you are always in right angle to capture the moment forever. He even shared pictures from his camera with us. Thank you Simon, Oken and thank you safari souls for this amazing experience. We would recommend to anyone looking for a honest company to have peaceful and worry free safari experience.

A Dream Honeymoon Safari with Safari Soles – Serengeti, Ngorongoro & Tarangire - I must have messaged dozens of tour operators, but when I came across Safari Soles, their personalised itinerary immediately stood out. Joachim, our sales representative, was incredible—he responded almost instantly to every request and change we made until we had our perfect safari planned. He even managed to organise a hot air balloon excursion for us at short notice! Booking the safari was easy and completely stress-free. Considering we were booking a mid-range to high-end experience, Safari Soles offered significantly better pricing than other operators we contacted. We arrived at Kilimanjaro Airport at 2am and were warmly greeted by Chief, who took us to our hotel. The next morning, he guided us on a cultural tour of Arusha and a short hike up Mount Kilima Moto. The entire day exceeded our expectations. Chief made us feel like we were exploring the city with an old friend rather than a tour guide. His passion and knowledge made our first day in Tanzania unforgettable—thank you, Chief! On Day 2, we met our safari guide, Francis, and began our journey toward the Serengeti. I don’t know if we were just lucky or if all Safari Soles guides are like him, but Francis was phenomenal. His knowledge was immense—he could answer every single question we had throughout the trip. Beyond that, he shared fascinating stories from his years of safari experience, and he truly went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and happy. Spending six days on safari with Francis was an absolute pleasure. Thank you to everyone at Safari Soles for making our honeymoon the dream trip we had hoped for. We hope to return one day and go on safari with you again!

An amazing experience! - We booked independently with Safari Soles and from start to finish, the service was excellent. Communication and online discussions with Renata were always professional, clear, informative and prompt with any questions dealt with quickly. 
Our budget Safari included Tarangire NP, the Southern Serengeti NP and Ngorongoro Crater with the Sero tented camp and Simba campsite. 
Simon, our guide, was excellent. He had a great depth of knowledge and experience knowing the parks geographically, along with his understanding of the wildlife. He was kind, considerate and professional throughout the trip. Ibraheem, our young chef, was equally professional, courteous and keen. His cooking was of an extremely high standard and he catered very well for my vegetarian husband. His mango salad is a salad to remember! 
Simon our guide had no problem seeking out the big 5 and so much more! It became obvious he was well respected by other guides and he worked very hard to seek out the best of the wildlife in each of the parks. 
I highly recommend Safari Soles a truly professional outfit that caters for individuals! 
Thank you everyone and especially Simon, Ibraheem and Renata for a trip we will never forget. 
100% perfect! Thank you, Safari Soles Jan and Steve from the UK

Estommy & Renata - Safari Soles gave us an amazing experience. Renata was excellent in getting everything booked and monitored our plans, flights, etc. throughout the journey. She displayed great customer service skills responding very swiftly to my emails. We spent our days with Estommy as our guide. Estommy was amazing!! Not only did he make sure that we saw all the animal action we really enjoyed his company. We saw everything we hoped for and more. He always had us in the heart of the action to get the best views and photos. He knew we liked coffee in the mornings and talked to the staff at each camp to ensure we were able to get coffee before our early morning departures. After finding out we were wine drinkers, he ensured we had plenty of wine on the Jeep each day. These special details are examples of how they go over and beyond to make our trip perfect. After our last day of safari, we missed having Estommy's company with us at dinner. I highly recommend requesting Estommy.

Amazing experience with Safari Soles - The safari trip with safari soles was really amazing. The booking and email exchange with Patrick was really easy and he adjusted the trip to our needs and requirements until we had the perfect setup. Also when we there everything was organized well and our driver Innocent was the best. He made sure that we see a lot of animals and knew the spots. He answered all our questions and it was pleasure to spend the 7 days with him. He is also a really good driver which can help as there are some rough roads. Highly recommend

Great safari in Tanzania - We have spent five fantastic days with Dickson and Safari Soles, and are really happy of our experience. Dickson has been fantastic throughout the whole tour. He’s a really kind person and an excellent guide and driver (we saw all the big 5 and several more animals), we really enjoyed his company and we can definitely highly recommend him! Second, the accommodations and staff working there were also very good. We were extremely impressed with the Haven Camp in Serengeti (staff, accommodation and food) and the Simba Lodge (staff). About the Embaikai accommodation (Ngorongoro), it was fine but we would probably not recommend it.

Phenomenal adventure!! Thank you to our fun & amazing guide, Christian! - Our experience with Safari Soles has been great! Oken was our contact from the beginning of planning our adventure. He was always responsive & helpful. We began our safari at Arusha Farm House which was a lovely place to rest after a long haul from Van., Canada. Christian (Chriss) was our guide for 6 days in the Tarangire, Serengeti & Ngorongoro Crater. Lunch was arranged the day prior & brought in the jeep before taking off each day. We enjoyed our cold beer, juice & water that was stocked in the jeep fridge. I especially enjoyed the Sero Tented Camp for 2 nights. There was a dramatic thunder/rain storm overnight & deep mud the following day! Christian did very well driving in the challenging conditions. It added to the experience! We saw the BIG 5 plus so much more! Ngorongoro Crater is a world of its own! wow! Serena Lodge was amazing for our last night. We were sad to say good bye to Chriss by the end of day 6. We highly recommend him as a guide!! Thank you for taking care of us & teaching us so much Christian. You can request Chriss directly through Safari Soles. If you are thinking about doing a safari, feel free to message us directly for more details. We had several WhatsApp calls with other travellers & found them to be extremely useful.

An amazing adventure in Tanzania - This was my first Safari and I enjoyed is so much with my family. Safari Soles were flexible enough to include a day at the foothills of Kilimanjaro after the 5 day tour at reasonable cost. Accommodation was really good in the Serengeti and in Arusha as we moved through the Safari. Safari Soles provided an excellent guide in Innocent. Very humble yet so knowledgeable and good with locating the animals. Innocent went out of his way to locate the carnivores including leopard 🐆 and even a caracal to my brother's excitement. Highly recommend Safari Soles!

An Unforgettable Adventure of Beautiful Beasts and Welcoming People - My wife and I came into Tanzania with an energetic attitude, an open mind for new experiences, and a high tolerance for bugs! We came here for just the nature, but we also fell in love with the people. The people here have a saying that there are many tribes and that they are united by one language, Swahili. Everywhere we went, we were met by welcomes and smiles. It sounds cheesy, but if you’re from a city like us, then it’s a much needed experience. I remember one time we were trying to spot the endangered black rhino from the rim of Ngorongoro crater, and I saw a small speck in the corner of my binoculars. It was an animal with a large body and a kind of sunken back. I asked our guide, Innocent, what it might be, and soon enough, everyone on the observation deck started freaking out. About 20 people started pointing, yelling “rhino”, and sharing binoculars and camera photos. It was just a short moment, but we were ecstatic and talking about it all the way to the lodge. I also remember the time we hired a local guide to bring us through a small gorge to a local waterfall. We initially didn’t plan to swim, but as we made the trek walking along the rock face (which was scalding hot), we said “why not?” The water was super refreshing after we had been absolutely roasted by the sun. As we were drying off, a group of kids from the village came and started singing “happy birthday” under the waterfall. Naturally, we were obligated to join in. After some fun and another round in the water, our guide took us back to the jeep, but not without some words on the way back. We asked what he thought of tourists from different countries, and his responses were hilarious! Throughout our adventure, there were so many full moments that had me grinning just thinking back on them. I remember Innocent started to ask us if we were ok more frequently like 3 days into the safari. I think it was because I was non-stop smiling for the first couple of days and he was concerned when he saw my naturally angry resting face (If you’re seeing this, then I wasn’t angry back then haha). All these memories and stories we’re bringing back with us are because of our guide, Innocent, his expertise when it comes to chasing the rarely-seen animals, his know-how with the jeep (we had some close calls on the rough roads), and the flexibility with him and Safari Soles in helping to plan the trip — sometimes even on the fly. I cannot recommend this company and guide enough if you want an amazing adventure! Professional, accommodating, friendly, some of the best times, and a truly memorable experience. Don’t hesitate, book now!

The one you can’t miss journey - This is one time in life trip with fully of wonderful memories. Thanks to Safari Soles, our assistant Regina, tour guide innocent, it came an awesome adventure. Our flight arrived in late night and took an hour to pass the security check. Our assistants Regina and Andrew kept messages with us, and responded really quickly. It didn’t take long time to wait for the person who took us from airport. Really smooth transition. Our excellent guide Innocent. He is full of knowledge and passion for the nature. I learned a lot from him about wildlife, cultures and life. With his professional skills, we successfully collected BIG GIVE in a short five day trip. In the wet season, driving is a challenge, but Innocent solved it like a piece of cake. I would not forget he said, akulamatata, with fully confident, when we stuck in water when crossing the river. Although it took some time to fix it, we made it together. For people looking for a journey, this is the one you can’t miss.
