Amazing week of unforgettable sights! - We had an amazing experience with our family of 4 adults. Christian was a fabulous driver/guide who was very attentive to our desires. He went above and beyond to find the most illusive animals for us to see including the Big 5 plus leapards, pythons, and all the "regulars" (zebras, wildebeasts, giraffes, hippos, etc.) The accomodations were great. From somewhat rustic tent camps (but with water and electricity!) to very pretty lodges in the Sarengetti to a 5 star hotel in Arusha. My son did a lot of research to find the right tour company and we were delighted with the results!

Unforgettable Safari Experience with Estomih – A Trip of a Lifetime! - Our family just returned from an incredible 7-day Great Migration safari in Tanzania, and Estomih made it unforgettable! His knowledge of wildlife and plants was remarkable, and he shared it with such passion that we were captivated by the animals around us. From the start, his positive energy, attentiveness, and constant smile made the trip a perfect 11/10. What stood out was Estomih’s deep connections with other guides, ensuring we were always in the right place at the right time. Thanks to him, we saw all of the Big Five, including two leopards and rhinos, and the breathtaking Great Migration of wildebeest. Mealtimes were a joy with Estomih, and he even arranged a special birthday surprise for my father. As a vegan, I appreciated how attentive he was to my dietary needs, making sure I had delicious meals throughout. His attention to detail was impressive—keeping the jeep spotless and going the extra mile to find the animals we wanted to see. He speaks excellent English, and everyone in the parks seemed to know him. He even introduced us to unique experiences like trying red bananas on our way to the northern Serengeti. Along with the Big Five, we witnessed jaw-dropping landscapes, sunsets, and thrilling moments like a cheetah feasting on its prey and hyenas outsmarting two lions. Every day was filled with excitement, and Estomih made each moment special. If you're planning a Tanzanian safari, I can't recommend Estomih enough. His passion, kindness, and expertise made our trip extraordinary, and he became part of our family. We can't wait to come back!

Once in a lifetime trip! - We had a great 8 day safari with Christian! We saw all the animals we thought we would see and more. Everything was taken care of for us from when we got to the airport to when we left. The safari vehicle was great and well stocked with waters and drinks each day. Christian did a great job making sure we saw everything we wanted to and was flexible with when and where we wanted to go. He was very knowledgeable and well organized, everything went very smoothly! I would recommend Safari Soles and Christian to any other first time safari goers.

An unforgettable 7-day Safari with Estomih - We spent an extraordinary 7-day family safari, visiting Tarangire National Park, Ngorongoro Conservation Area, and Serengeti National Park for three days. We had the chance to observe a wide variety of animals, including the Big 5. The meal, which is important to me, has always been delicious and varied, making the experience even more enjoyable. Our Guide, Estomih, played a key role in making this safari unforgettable. His in-depth knowledge of flora and fauna enriched every moment. Always smiling, he knew how to make every moment special. I couldn’t have dreamed of a better Guide, Estomih is now part of our family, and like all my family, I can’t wait to go on safari with him again.

2024 family trip to Africa - It was one of the best moments of a great family trip. The game drive days through the parks of Taranguire, Serrenguetti and Ngorongoro as well as the ultra-comfortable accommodations have satisfied both children and parents. Our trip was well balanced and our Guide Jonathan knew in depth the animal world that abounded around us. It allowed us to find all the species in their hiding places, sometimes in full action! Our picnics were tasty and complete and we ate and drank abundantly. The vastness, the colors, the kindness of the people made us live great emotions! Special mention to our Jonathan Guide for his attention, knowledge, sense of humor and “natural” GPS. We felt confident with him.

Fabulous Safari with Fabulous Guide! - I spent seven days in Tanzania visiting the magnificent Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro National Parks with my family and it was an exciting experience. Visiting those magical places with untouched nature and rich in beautiful animals was a gift! But the most welcome surprise was the meeting with our Guide Estomih. Estomih made this safari unforgettable for his high professionalism, the tact with which he related and for the strong empathy. Surprisingly she even organized my husband's birthday party in one of the tents/Accommodation we stayed in. Estomih has always driven with extreme caution and accompanied us to discover the beauties of Tanzania with great passion and competence. We'll be back! 100% Estomih Recommendation as Guide!

An unforgettable Safari with the Estomih Guide: knowledge, kindness and special surprises! - Our 7-day safari experience in Tanzania was absolutely unforgettable. We visited Tarangire National Park, Ngorongoro Conservation Area and Serengeti National Park for three days, and every moment was an amazing adventure. We were lucky enough to see a wide range of animals, including the Big 5, and the accommodations we stayed in were always perfect, cozy and well located. But what made our safari really special was our Guide, Estomih. His infinite knowledge of plants and animals enriched our experience in ways we could not have imagined. Estomih has a very cautious but effective Guide, and his passion for nature is evident in every explanation. He was always smiling and positive, making every moment of the safari enjoyable and instructive. In addition, he organized a surprise birthday party for me with a delicious cake in Accommodation on Ngorongoro Crater, a gesture that made our trip even more special. Highly Recommendation Estomih as Guide. He has become like part of our family and we can't wait to go back on safari with him. An exceptional experience that I highly Recommendation to anyone wishing to explore Tanzania's wild beauty.

Breathtaking Wildlife, Perfect Guide: A Safari to Remember! - I went on a safari in September, and it was an experience I'll never forget. Our guide, Estomih, was outstanding in every way. His knowledge of the local wildlife and flora is impressive, and he helped us discover not only the "Big Five" but also an incredible amount of details and curiosities that made the tour even more special. Estomih showed great passion for his work and genuine care for the well-being of the animals, which I deeply appreciated. He took great care of all our needs and desires, always going above and beyond to ensure our experience was perfect. During meals, he was especially attentive—he made sure we sanitized our hands, asked what we preferred to eat, and paid close attention to every detail to make us feel comfortable. The safari itself was breathtaking. We explored a part of the city of Arusha, the stunning Lake Manyara, the iconic Serengeti National Park, and the Ngorongoro Conservation Area with its magnificent crater. I personally found the Ngorongoro Crater to be a paradise, with its perfect climate and the incredible diversity of wildlife it hosts. Every location was more awe-inspiring than the last, each offering its own unique beauty and charm. He always maintained a perfect balance between adventure and safety, making us feel at ease at all times. Every day was full of surprises: breathtaking sunrises, close encounters with animals, and the unique atmosphere of the savannah. If you’re looking for an authentic, well-organized safari with a guide who truly loves what he does, I can’t recommend Estomih and enough. It was an unforgettable journey, and I can’t wait to return!

Best season, best tanzan, best guide - Simon, aka “safari monster”, makes for a perfect Trips for me and my friends. He is excellent in driving, patient and experienced, people are also super great 👍🏻 In Tarangire, Serengeti, in Ngoro, his patient search for communication not only took us up close to see the big five, saw numerous wildebeest crossings of the river, but also saw a lot of wonderful animals and things. By the way, Simon is also a good photographer, took a lot of beautiful pictures of us during the journey, he gave us a rather memorable journey.
