Flexible, client oriented, excellent customer service

Safari 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.

Phenomenal experience of a lifetime

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.

An Unforgettable Northern Circuit Honeymoon

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.
