4 days private lodge safari

Summary: We had 4 amazing safari days in Tarangiri, Ngorogoro, Serengeti south and central finishing with Ngorogoro crater with our guide Emmanuel, who did everything and then some to give us the best safari experience. We didn't just tick off the big 5. We saw them upclose, with cubs, eating prey, on"honeymoon". 21 lions in one day and the black rhino on last day!!! He stopped at beautiful settings for picnic lunch and were patient . We highly recommend Emmanuel from Safari soles!! 4 days were perfect with 2 kids, so many experiences to soak in. Our expectations were high and they were stilled exceeded.

Summary: We had an absolutely incredible experience with Safari Soles Tours. Our guide, Japhet, was the highlight of the trip. Not only was he extremely knowledgeable and friendly, but he also had an amazing knack for finding secluded spots where it was just us and the wildlife. The sightings were breathtaking—we actually witnessed a lion hunting warthogs (Pumbas!) and a cheetah hunting a gazelle. Japhet explained the animal behavior to us every step of the way, making it an educational journey as well as a thrilling one. The logistics were also top-notch. The hot packed lunches provided by Safari Soles were delicious and a welcome treat during our long, hectic game drives. Eating in the middle of the Savannah was an experience in itself. Highly recommend Japhet and the Safari Soles team!

Summary: We did a December Safari in 2025 with family to Rnzania (Serengati, Tarangarie, Ndutu) regions with Estomii from Safari Soles, and it was a great experience. All our hotels and travel arrangements were very well organized. Estommi was our safari guide for 7 days and was exceptional. Not only did he keep us well informed, but he also went out of his way to ensure we saw all the animals and had a great experience watching them in their natural habitats. We had people with specific dietary needs in our group, and he ensured the hotels we stayed in accommodated them. He became a friend by the end of our 7-day trip. The jeep was brand-new and very comfortable. I highly recommend him and this company.

Summary: We did a family vacation to Tanzania with Safari Soles. Estomii was our safari guide for 7 days. We had a wonderful time. He is very knowledgeable about the animals and is a safe and conscientious driver. He is a great resource to learn about the country and culture. Very happy with our choice of tour company and the drivers and guides we had.

Summary: In November of 2025 we booked a 12 day safari with Safari Soles Tours. Our party consisted of 4 senior travellers. Our friends had done most of the research leading up to the safari and had received strong a recommendation for Safari Soles Tours through an acquaintance who had just used their services. The planning stage stretched over several months while we reviewed the different camps and Parks we would visit over the 12 days. Communication was excellent throughout the preparation of the trip from start to finish. Our contact was Happiness George and he was always available via email to answer promptly all of our questions as well as making some insightful suggestions. After arriving in Arusha we were flown to Seronera Airstrip (in central Serengeti) and were met by Christian our guide/driver. He was courteous and affable and turned out to be extremely knowledgeable. He knew exactly where to take us to see the big 5 and so much more. Also, one of our travelling companions had mobility issues and Christian always went out of his way to assist in anyway possible. He also was very accommodating letting us set our own schedule. The jeep was fairly new and in good condition. All necessities were provide including water, snacks plus beer and wine! A pair of binoculars were also provided if you didn’t bring your own (definitely mandatory). Road conditions within the park were pretty bumpy to say the least (referred to as an African massage), but Christian was a very experienced driver and transported us safely from camp to camp. In the planning stages we were given a choice of a variety of camps based on our budget and though we did not go with all the recommendations made by Soles the camps we did choose were all well above adequate. All in all the 4 of us were extremely impressed with the professionalism of Safari Soles Tours. It was obvious Christian and the staff made an effort to ensure the safari met and exceeded our expectations. We would not hesitate to recommend their services if you want a once in a lifetime experience. Chris & Nicole CANADA

Summary: Everything was perfectly planned. Communication beforehand was excellent. Our guide Simon was outstanding and made our trip unforgettable. Highly recommended.

Summary: Our safari in Tanzania was truly fantastic and exceeded all our expectations. The experience was made exceptional by our guide, Estomii, whose deep knowledge of the wildlife, landscapes, and local culture brought every game drive to life. He was incredibly attentive, patient, and skilled at spotting animals, ensuring we never missed a special moment. Thanks to Estomii’s expertise and warmth, the safari was not just really good—it was unforgettable.

Summary: Came for the animals. Left emotionally changed. Waking up before sunrise was worth it (shockingly). Lions, elephants, endless skies, and guides who somehow knew everything. It felt raw, grounding, and quietly luxurious at the same time. 10/10 would disappear into the savannah again. Couldn’t have asked for a better guide! Christian was equal parts expert, storyteller, and miracle worker with binoculars.

Summary: We did a 4-day safari with Safari Soles, visiting Tarangire, spending two days in the Serengeti, and one day at the Ngorongoro Crater, and it was incredible! Our guide, Shema, was outstanding. We were able to see the Big Five and even witness a cheetah hunting a gazelle! Shema’s experience was essential for us to be in the right places at the right times to see all the animals. Another big highlight was the food — it was delicious every single day! We highly recommend him as a guide; besides being extremely knowledgeable, he’s also great company, very friendly and pleasant.

Summary: We had an incredible experience organizing our safari with Safari Soles. From the very first contact, the entire team was extremely professional, friendly, and attentive to every detail. I would especially like to highlight Hope, who was super kind and patient at the beginning of the process, helping us design the perfect safari, answering all our questions, and making us feel confident from day one. In the final stage and once the trip had already started, Lilian was absolutely key. Not only was she always available, efficient, and attentive to make sure everything ran smoothly, but she also helped us recover a suitcase that the airline had lost during our flight. On top of that, she had the lovely gesture of coming to meet us in person — it was truly special to finally meet her. The Safari Soles team coordinated everything to deliver our lost suitcase right in the middle of the Serengeti, which honestly felt almost impossible. Absolutely amazing — what a team! Truly outstanding. Throughout the safari, the itinerary was followed exactly as planned, which we really appreciated. The lodges we stayed at were wonderful, comfortable, beautifully located, and surrounded by stunning scenery. The food was delicious, and the service everywhere was first-class, always warm and welcoming. A very special mention goes to our guide and driver Mandela, who was simply fantastic — friendly, professional, and with excellent knowledge of the wildlife and the area. Thanks to him, every day of the safari was even more special. I highly recommend Safari Soles to anyone looking for an authentic, well-organized safari with an exceptional human team. You are truly amazing — thank you for an unforgettable experience!
