They deserve more than 5 stars.
What an adventure from start to finish – everything was absolutely perfect.
We did a 4-day, 3-night safari, and every single day was unforgettable.
Waking up with an elephant right in front of the tent, seeing around 30 lions taking a nap, two cheetahs having lunch, lions that had just hunted a buffalo, and witnessing the migration with about 2,000 zebras and wildebeest… it’s something that is incredibly difficult to describe in words.
Our guide, Abdul, was the best, and the staff at the lodges were so friendly and kind.
If you have been thinking about going on safari, stop thinking and just book your trip – you will not regret it

Trip of a Lifetime
Our trip with Safari Soles was excellent and exceeded our wildest expectations.
The biggest highlight of the trip was our guide, Silas. He was a fantastic driver, game guide, and companion during our trip - we felt completely safe with him, he was timely and polite, and his knowledge was invaluable. The trip wouldn’t have been the same without him, and I will be recommending him to any friends considering a safari.
We also enjoyed our tent lodgings during safari immensely. Safari Haven’s staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming. The sundowner they provided was a beautiful way to spend the evening. Our balloon safari with Adventures Aloft was perfect. The pilot, Hego, and the rest of the crew were so fun to fly with and we enjoyed this experience even more than we expected.
I understand that Mbuni is a new lodging option, and our night here was fantastic. Our only regret was that we didn’t have more time here - the location was gorgeous, the lodgings were luxurious, the food was the best we had on the trip, and the staff were friendly and kind. Additionally, it was the best shower of the whole trip and our escort to the tent at night spotted a leopard in the trees!
Tortillis Camp in Ngorongoro was perhaps the most beautiful location we camped in, and we had a wonderful time sitting by the fire and chatting with other guests. The Masai dance they performed at dinner was incredible to watch.
Our time in Zanzibar was relaxing, though we were sad to leave mainland Tanzania and Silas behind.
The cost for this trip felt extremely reasonable, especially considering the level of planning done on their behalf and the transportation, food and beverages included. I believe we had a combination of luck and traveling at off-peak times, but this vacation felt extremely private and luxurious and we found ourselves receiving VIP treatment frequently without paying VIP costs.

An Unforgettable Safari — Innocent Is Simply the Best
We had the trip of a lifetime with Innocent from Safari Soles, and I genuinely cannot recommend him highly enough.
Over twelve incredible days across four national parks, Innocent went above and beyond in every possible way. His knowledge of wildlife, terrain, and animal behavior is extraordinary — and it showed every single day. Thanks to him, we were lucky enough to see the Big Five, at least eight servals, and more leopards than we could even keep count of — often spotted when other vehicles hadn’t seen a thing.
What truly sets Innocent apart, though, is not just his skill as a guide, but who he is as a person. He was endlessly patient, kind, and thoughtful, always making sure we were comfortable, safe, and getting the very best experience. He somehow managed to anticipate what we wanted before we even asked — whether that meant waiting quietly for the perfect sighting, positioning the vehicle for the best possible view, or adjusting the day to match our energy and interests.
The vehicle was always spotless, well stocked, and comfortable, and every day felt effortless because Innocent had everything under control. His passion for wildlife and conservation is infectious, and by the end of the trip, it felt less like we had a guide and more like we were traveling with a trusted friend.
If you are considering a safari with Safari Soles, ask for Innocent by name. He turned an already special trip into something truly unforgettable. We would go back in a heartbeat — and only with him.

Responsive, friendly staff and super experienced local guides from pre to post sales
I started enquiring for Jan2026 7-day Tanzania Safari trip back in Aug2025 to a few tour operators. The pricing from Safari Soles was very reasonable for the level of service and was comparable with other quotes received. The sales staff Boniface was very friendly, responsive in addressing all concerns from itinerary customisation, payment till pick up arrangement.
Day1: Frank was the driver picking us up from the airport and toured us around the city before checking in Arusha Farmhouse. At the farmhouse, we had great time with Richard and few staff who toured us the coffee plantation and let us experienced the coffee processing, roasting, pounding and brewing in the African way!
Day2-7: Elias was our Safari Guide. He was super experience and passionate in finding the big cats and other animals in the bush, and sharing the knowledge about the culture, animals and the ecosystem. There was a day where few jeeps were searching for leopard but no avail. Elias traced up to a hyena who was devouring the food and found the leopard nearby! Instead of following, he predicted the animal’s next move and always got us the best spot for phototaking.
Day7: On the last day of our trip, we visited the Hadzabe and Datoga tribe, Alex joined in as our trip guide. He was amazing with vast knowledge on Hadzabe culture. He speaks the tribe language and knows the tribe people very well, even helped to spot the animals down. It was so much fun and great cultural experience!
Thank you Safari Soles for the unforgettable Safari experience!

A tear jerking experience
Have just finished our 5 day safari with Safari Soles & can honestly say it was one of the best experiences of our lives. I booked the holiday on a whim for my husband and I not knowing too much of the ins and outs of doing a safari, we didn’t have too much time to do one, only 5 days. However from the moment of booking to the end of our trip they curated everything perfectly to meet our budget & timeframe. We saw the Big 5 and couldn’t believe how many animals we saw each day, every day provided something different and the scenery was just something else. It was so special on our last day that i even cried whilst watching 10 elephants happily grazing in the Ngorongoro crater during sunrise. I want to put a special mention to our wonderful guide Christian, he was the perfect tour guide, calm, funny, informative & kind. Asante Chris for giving us the best experience which we will never forget. Highly reccomend!!!

Unforgettable Honeymoon Safari Experience with Safari Soles
We had an absolutely incredible experience with Safari Soles, and we couldn’t recommend them highly enough. From the very beginning, the team was extremely responsive and flexible, thoughtfully tailoring our safari to match our interests and pace. Everything went off seamlessly, which made the entire experience feel effortless and stress-free.
This safari was part of our honeymoon, and Safari Soles truly went above and beyond to make us feel celebrated and special throughout the trip. A huge thank-you to Furahini, our tour operator, who did a phenomenal job organizing every detail and showed genuine care when one of us became sick and needed to go to the hospital. Having that level of support in an unfamiliar place meant the world to us.
Our guide, Abdul, was exceptional. His deep knowledge of the parks, wildlife, and local culture greatly enriched our experience. He was incredibly friendly, accommodating, and professional, and he made sure every day of the safari ran smoothly. We enjoyed all of the picnics and time spent in conversation on our drives – we learned so much from him and always felt well taken care of.
Overall, if you’re considering a safari in Tanzania, choose Safari Soles and ask for Abdul as your guide. They helped make our honeymoon unforgettable, and we’ll cherish these memories forever!

Safari Soles gave us an unforgettable safari experience in Tanzania
We went on a calf season safari for a week in mid-January 2026, just the two of us. We had a blast. The Safari Soles team were amazing from booking to end.
They tailor-made the trip to suit our schedule and preferences. Our booking contact was Oken Alick, who was extremely reactive and serviceable.
The accommodations were confortable and perfectly organized.
And our driver, Dixon, was amazing: not only is he pleasant and fun, but he was extremely efficient at finding the best sights for seeing animals, often at close sight and alone. We saw countless animals and stunning scenes.
I highly recommend Safari Soles and would definitely do another safari with them in the future.

Wonderful
We had an amazing Safari! Our guide Christian was awesome, and we really enjoyed our time with him. He is funny, friendly, and has an amazing ability to spot animals. On our four day safari we saw all of the big five thanks to Christian! We definitely recommend Safari Soles, and we especially recommend Christian as the best guide we could have asked for!

Spectacular
Safari Soles was amazing yet they still exceeded our expectations.
My wife and I went on a 9 day private safari with Safari Soles and our guide Dickson for our honeymoon. After months of research and comparing different tour operators we decided on Safari Soles and are so happy we did.
They were extremely fast to respond and easy to communicate throughout the planning process. They provided amazing recommendations and were able to tailor our itinerary specifically for us. We especially liked the detailed daily plan and custom map showing our route (although they continued to make it very clear that we could make any changes we wanted during the trip).
Knowing this trip was going to be rather expensive, once it started we felt like we weren't paying enough. It was truly a once in a lifetime experience.
Our guide Dickson was so nice and flexible. He was a dictionary of knowledge and really understood how to create the best experience for us. Dickson was also a great off road driver and one of the best at getting you into positions where you are close to the animals while also feeling completely safe. 10/10 would recommend Dickson!
The Safari Soles jeeps were one of the nicest we saw on our entire trip. We chose the mid range accommodation option and Safari Soles let us upgrade a couple of the accommodation options while being very transparent about the cost differences. Food was delicious and the staff everywhere was incredibly nice.
The encounters we had with so many different animals was so spectacular. 9 days was a great length and would recommend a minimum of 7 days to truly get the best experience.
In all, Safari Soles as a tour company was spectacular and Dickson as a guide was amazing. Would recommend both to whoever is considering this amazing experience!
