Day 2
We will meet you at your hotel at 7:30am and introduce you to your guide and chef for the tour. You will also get a chance to meet the other guests on tour. From here, we embark on a 2-hour drive to Tarangire National Park. The park is famous for its diverse landscapes, an abundance of ancient baobab trees, and many elephants. In addition, you will get to observe the interaction between members of an elephant family. We will do a game drive to places inside the park, depending on where there are reported sightings of lions, cheetahs, and leopards. In addition, abundant herbivores are residents of the park. The herbivores include giraffes, wildebeest, and zebras, to name but a few. Later, we will stop at a picnic site at the Tarangire River, where we will have lunch and enjoy the beautiful river view and animals roaming around. You will see small monkeys and baboons in the area that will try to snatch your lunch, but do not worry, they are harmless. Inside Tarangire NP All meals included Drinking water & beer and wine (Other drinks not included)
Day 3
We will head out early on a game drive to see Tarangire wildlife walking to the river for a morning drink. Starting early with a game drive is essential to ensure you see as many animals as possible.

We will leave for Fig Tree Lodge and Camp to have lunch, enjoy time at the pool and relax before taking a cycling tour to Mto wa Mbu.

Day 6
Enjoy the sunrise from Lake Victoria and fishing and canoeing activities, a splendid day by the lakeside. Lake Victoria is the largest lake in Africa and the second-largest freshwater lake in the world. The region around Lake Victoria is one of the most densely populated in Africa, with several million people living around its shores. However, due to its somewhat remote location, away from the usual tourist hot spots, the area offers a different side of Tanzania. You will be able to experience the lives of the locals before embarking on a trip back to Serengeti National Park, where the wildlife adventure continues. All meals included Drinking water & beer and wine (Other drinks not included)
Day 7
After an early breakfast, we will go on a game drive in Serengeti National Park until lunchtime. After that, we will enjoy lunch at the campsite. After lunch, we will pack up and leave the Serengeti as we start our 2-hour game drive to Simba Campsite. The camp is located near the rim of the Ngorongoro Crater, which means that you will see various animals from the comfort of the campsite. On the crater rim of Serengeti NP All meals included Drinking water & beer and wine (Other drinks not included)
Day 8
After an early breakfast, we will descend the crater at 6:15am. Today's game drive aims to find black rhinos. Unfortunately, black rhinos are more difficult to spot than most animals on the crater floor. After lunch, we will do a game drive as we ascend the crater back to camp. Once we are back at the camp, we will prepare and pack for our trip to Karibu Heritage House in Arusa. Finally, we will arrive in the evening at our destination.

5.0/5Safari Soles is a very reliable safari tours operator responding in a flash to your enquiries regarding possible safari itineraries, choice of loggies and providing any alterations whenever requested, fully assisting you during your dream journey in the wild. Our safari was a tailored made one, short but very intensive. Every minute of it was used to a maximum and our safari guide Simon went out of his way to make us see what we haven't even dreamed of like a successful cheetah hunt with a fantastic view of both the hunters and the prey. We fully recomend the company itself and especially the professional tour guide Simon. A lot depends on the engagement and dedication of your safari guide if your safari experience is to remain memorable. We will never forget ours as it was outstanding.
Ewa & Dorota · Poland
The most amazing trip that far exceeded all expectations. Planning, communication and interaction were all excellent, as was the hospitality and food we received in the places we stayed. They respected our requirements and budget and put together an incredible itinerary. We had an outstanding, knowledgeable and thoughtful guide who looked after us all so well and answered our multiple questions with enthusiasm and fascinating and informative information. We saw so much wildlife including birds and plants which Omar was able to tell us about. It simply could not have been a better or more enriching and exciting few days. I would highly recommend Safari Soles and would definitely recommend the tented camps in the Serengeti (where lots of the drives are off road) and Tarangire parks. Thank you to all the team for a trip of a lifetime which exceeded all our expectations. Hopefully we’ll be back one day.

Our 6-Day Northern Circuit Honeymoon Safari (Nov 29 – Dec 4, 2025) with Safari Soles was the most extraordinary travel experience we’ve ever had. From the planning stages, Oken ensured everything was seamless. He thoughtfully tailored our itinerary to align with our interests, honeymoon expectations, and pacing preferences. Communication was clear, logistics were effortless, and we felt confident and supported before we ever stepped foot in Tanzania. Safari Monster Simon, our safari guide, elevated the experience even further. With formal training in tourism and African ecology, he didn’t simply locate wildlife - he interpreted entire ecosystems. He explained watershed systems, fire ecology, predator-prey behavior, medicinal plants, and conservation policy with depth and clarity. As someone who works professionally in sustainability and conservation, I can confidently say this was the most impressive eco-tourism experience I’ve encountered. Simon’s tracking ability was extraordinary, spotting subtle movement at full speed and positioning us perfectly for unforgettable sightings. As a newer birder, I logged over 100 new species thanks to his expertise. His passion also extended to photography - he brought professional camera equipment and generously shared breathtaking wildlife images with us at no additional cost. Many of those photos will be framed to hang in our home. The vehicle was modern and comfortable, and each lodge offered exceptional hospitality, stunning views, and outstanding food. Our final day with Enock (also a rockstar of a guide!) for the Kilimanjaro hike, waterfall visit, coffee tour, and hot springs provided a wonderful cultural and scenic conclusion to the trip. Safari Soles created an experience that felt personal, immersive, and flawlessly executed from start to finish. We are already planning our return and would recommend them to anyone we know for an absolutely amazing experience anywhere in Tanzania.

Our Tanzania safari was absolutely unforgettable! We saw the Big Five and even witnessed a breathtaking cheetah hunt. A huge thank you to our guide—Zablon, he’s simply the best!
