We had an absolutely fantastic safari experience with Safari Soles! Everything was seamlessly arranged, from being picked up at our hotel in Zanzibar to the flight to the Serengeti, where we spent two incredible days on safari, followed by a day exploring the breathtaking Ngorongoro Crater. Our guide, Estomih, was truly exceptional. He set out early each day to give us the best possible chance of seeing the amazing wildlife. Thanks to him, we had the rare opportunity to witness incredible sights, including a leopard resting in a tree, a cheetah with her cubs, and countless majestic lions. His deep knowledge of the area and its wildlife, combined with his respectful and considerate approach toward nature and other tourists, made the experience even more special. He was extremely helpful and ensured we had the best views while always prioritizing the well-being of the animals. If we ever go back, we would absolutely request him as our guide again! The organization from the office was also flawless. Douglas ensured that everything was well coordinated, and he kept us informed throughout the entire trip. He regularly checked in to make sure everything was going smoothly, providing updates on transport and schedules. Communication via WhatsApp was quick and efficient, which made everything even easier. In short, this safari was an unforgettable adventure, perfectly organized with outstanding guidance. We highly recommend Safari Soles to anyone looking for a unique and well-managed safari experience in Tanzania!

Upon deciding to go to Tanzania, we sent out inquiries to several operators to evaluate their responses. Our criteria included: 1. A member of the Tanzania Association of Tour Operators (TATO). 2. The quality of the communication with the company. 3. The company had to be local and registered in Tanzania. Applying these three main criteria above we decided on Safari Soles to be our tour operator. It turned out to be our best travel decision. Safari Soles is a Tanzanian owned local tour operator that is superbly organized. Our contact was Furahini whose communication skills are superlative. She responded in all cases immediately and in a most respectful, professional manner. We must say that Furahini is the main reason we settled on Safari Soles Tours. Furahini responded to many emails, phone calls and texts as we planned our safari. All questions were unambiguously answered and in sufficient detail. She gave us several revised options as we navigated our understanding of where we were going. When we arrived in Tanzania, the entire tour went exactly as agreed and totally exceeded any expectations we had. Chief picked us up from the airport and transported us to the Arusha Farm House which is an oasis in the bustling and difficult to navigate city of Arusha. Chief was our driver several times during our time in Tanzania and he taught us so much about Tanzanian and Maasai culture all in a humorous and engaging fashion. Our main safari guide was Oscar. Oscar is a highly experienced and personable guide with good English and an amazing knowledge of the animals who live there. We spent eight days with Oscar and the tour he took us on was the most incredible time in all our travel life. We went to the Tarangire, the Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Basin. We have traveled to many continents and seen many places, but this was the crown jewel of them all. We attribute much of this to Oscar as he knew exactly where to go and what would be most rewarding to see. We saw the big five and much more, including calving and the great migration of the Wildebeests. The last couple of days was a cultural tour of some of the local Tanzanian tribes, the Datooga and the Hadzabe. Along with Oscar, Alex was our guide for these. Alex literally wrote the book on them. It was a highlight of our safari. Enock was our cheerful and efficient day guide through Safari Soles for the Kilimanjaro Foothills tour. We enjoyed coffee grown, roasted, ground and prepared before our very eyes by the most wonderful local people. We then went for a swim at some hot springs. Enock ensured that all went well. The accommodation provided by Safari Soles was mid-range, but really from our perspective it was largely luxury given the locations and seasonal nature of some of them. Internet was always available, the food was fabulous and the service impeccable. For instance, at the Ngare Lodge, we felt we were at a Michelin rated restaurant as Fatima saw to our every need and ensured we were completely satisfied. We recommend that you take enough cash for tips as you will want to say thank you to all who help you. We concluded our one-month excursion with the last two weeks on the island of Zanzibar. Amazing beaches, great service and wonderful locals describe our time there. The last few days were spent at Sauti Za Busara, a celebration of modern African music in Stone Town. During our stay on Zanzibar, Furahini was available the whole time by phone if we had any questions, to arrange transportation and accommodation even though we had finished our safari tour. Without a doubt, this was the most amazing and wonderful travel time we have had. Thank you to Safari Soles, their excellent staff and all their affiliates. Not sure we will ever be able to top it.

One of the greatest trips we've ever taken. We were taken care of from landing until our departure. We saw so many animals and our guide Isaac was fantastic at finding them. Given that this was not the high season, we did not have to contend with crowds.

The hike was so beautiful and the coffee tour was informational and fun! Baltazary was a great guide! The hot springs are incredible! We went on a Monday and it was almost empty. Highly recommend doing this tour through Safari Soles with Baltazary!!

My best friend and I just finished our 7 day safari through Northern Tanzania including Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro, and the foothills of Kilimanjaro. We decided on Safari Soles due to their incredible itinerary and constant ease of communication. From first inquiry, Oken was quick to provide us with a quote and responded to all of our questions and concerns efficiently. We ended up changing our flights to do a week in Zanzibar prior to the safari and he was super helpful in organizing transportation from our hotel in Zanzibar to the airport and then the flights over to Arusha. We also had to change the dates of the safari from Oct 2024 to March 2025 and they were extremely understanding and helpful in accommodating those changes. Upon pickup from the airport, we met our guide Oscar. I have a million great things to say about Oscar!! He is the most knowledgeable and kind guide and went out of his way to make sure we had the best safari experience. He had a keen eye for spotting all types of animals and never failed to make us laugh. The nerves of being with a stranger for a week were instantly gone during our first game drive when we all were cracking jokes the whole time. His expertise for all the different types of animals was unmatched and made it as though we were constantly learning things on our drives. He truly provided us with the best week ever! After our safari concluded and we were back in Arusha, we did a one day tour of the Materuni waterfalls, a coffee farm, and the Kikuletwa Hot Springs. Baltazary was our guide and he was super informative during the hike and a great tour guide for the day! Overall I can’t recommend Safari Soles enough. Their incredible communication and staff made this trip so easy and so so incredible. Can’t wait to come back!

A friend and I did the 7 day northern circuit tour and had such a fantastic time! Oscar was our guide and I cannot recommend him enough. He was knowledgeable, funny, and a great driver. Being two young women, my friend and I always felt safe, heard, and overall had a wonderful time. We saw so many amazing animals, our accommodations were very nice, and food was great. If you are considering a safari in Tanzania, I highly recommend Safari Soles Tours and Oscar!

It was our first ever safari trip so we were a little nervous but from the first contact with Patrick, he was very professional and customized the entire schedule to our needs, even answering a million of the questions I had in a very timely and communicative manner. The entire experience was seamless and exceeded our expectations. We never had a single worry as everything was taken care of from end to end. This company truly understands how to craft a perfect safari experience. The accommodations were fantastic, the logistics were flawlessly handled, and the wildlife sightings were beyond our wildest dreams. We would like to give an huge shoutout and thank you to our incredible guides, Eli and Shema. Their expertise was simply outstanding. They possess an encyclopedic knowledge of all the animals and effortlessly spotting animals from literally miles away. They also always went above and beyond to ensure our comfort and safety. Their dedication elevated our trip from a good safari to an exceptional one. We wholeheartedly recommend Safari Soles Tours and the entire staffing team (Patrick, Frank, Chief, and more) for their invaluable contribution to our once-in-a-lifetime journey. This is a definitive 10/10 experience!

We had a fantastic three-day safari adventure organized by Safari Soles. Our journey began in Arusha, continued through the breathtaking Ngorongoro Crater and the expansive Serengeti, and concluded with a convenient flight from Seronera Airstrip to Zanzibar. Oken did an excellent job tailoring the tour to our individual preferences, always responding swiftly to our inquiries. Our guide, Innocent, was simply exceptional. His sharp eyes and keen hearing, coupled with excellent communication with fellow guides both on the ground and via radio, made spotting rare wildlife—such as rhinos and a cheetah with her young cubs—seem effortless. The accommodations exceeded our expectations, and the food was delicious. Though safaris are inherently costly, we felt that Safari Soles offered great value for the price, especially after extensive comparison with other operators. We wholeheartedly recommend Safari Soles for anyone looking for a memorable safari experience!

My visit to Materuni Waterfalls and the coffee tour was absolutely unforgettable! The hike to the waterfall was refreshing, with stunning views of lush greenery and fresh mountain air. The waterfall itself was breathtaking, a perfect spot to relax and take in nature’s beauty. The coffee tour was equally amazing! The local guides were knowledgeable and engaging, showing us the entire coffee-making process from bean to cup. Grinding and roasting coffee traditionally was a fun and immersive experience. The hospitality of the Chagga people made it even more special. Overall, this trip was a perfect blend of adventure, culture, and relaxation. Highly recommend it to anyone visiting Arusha!

A nice place for enjoying environment, farming and nice waterfall I loved it💚💚💚 highly recommend this if you have an extra chilling day's in moshi

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

Our Tanzania safari was truly unforgettable, thanks to Safari Soles, Sales Agent Angel Sole and last by not leaat, our exceptional guide Guide's Estomih. His expertise and attentiveness made the journey extraordinary. With an eagle eye, he spotted animals from miles away—whether majestic lions, elephants, or lesser-known species—and shared fascinating insights about their behaviors and ecosystems. His dedication to ensuring the best experience was evident: he adjusted the vehicle for perfect photo opportunities, patiently answered endless questions, and even offered photography tips, making us feel cared for throughout. The highlights included witnessing the awe-inspiring Great Migration and observing a pride of lions up close in Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater. His deep knowledge of animal migration patterns allowed us to capture the most vivid moments of nature. Why We Recommend: Professionalism, attention to detail, and a flawless safari experience.

It’s our first time in Tanzania. And we are very happy that we chose Safari soles. Estomih was an exceptional safari guide. As a driver, he was skilled and confident, navigating difficult roads with ease. His knowledge about the animals was impressive and added much depth to our journey. Estomih was not only respectful and professional but also has great personality. His strong connections with other guides ensured we were always in the right place at the right time, especially when tracking the Big Five animals. We also appreciated how he kept the car spotless every morning, giving us a fresh start to each day. Highly recommend him! A special thanks to Angel, our sales contact, who was incredibly responsive and helpful from the start. She made the entire process seamless.
