Fantastic hike, food, and service - I really enjoyed this tour with Safari Soles. Everything was very professionally organised, starting from being picked up at the airport to being dropped off at the end of the tour. The hike was amazing. My guide's name was William, and he made sure that I was happy at all times. He let me adapt the hiking itinerary to what I wanted, to choose my pace, and organised the days around that. I was also really impressed with the food and the cook! I am vegetarian, and all the meals were very tasty and filling, with a lot of fresh fruit and vegetables. I would have been happy to eat some of those dishes in a restaurant, so to eat them halfway up a mountain was a big surprise! I had a very good experience and would definitely book another tour with this company, and ask for William as a guide. Highly recommended.

Challenging but beautiful Mount Meru hike - We organized a 4-day Mount Meru trek with Safari Soles, including a briefing day and three days of hiking. Overall, our experience was positive, and Patrick’s communication made planning easy. Our guide, Antipas, provided a clear and thorough briefing, and we could rent any extra equipment on-site, though some rented items weren’t as clean as we’d hoped. The hike itself offered incredible scenery, with diverse landscapes changing as we ascended, and we were lucky with the weather—just a bit of rain on our descent. The accommodations were comfortable, with a nice lodge the first night and private four-bed rooms in each hut along the trail. We were also provided with a private chef, and the meals were consistently warm, tasty, and energizing—truly appreciated after each day’s hike! The first day’s route was very manageable, with the second day a bit more challenging. Our guides were supportive, friendly, and spoke English well, helping us at every step. For future trekkers, we’d recommend considering a four-day hike (rather than three) to make the summit attempt more comfortable. Our schedule required us to either summit just after arriving at the second hut or start at midnight, leaving little time to rest. An additional day would allow for better acclimatization at 3,500 meters. In our case, two group members felt mild altitude sickness above 4,300 meters, but our guides ensured we descended safely, despite the challenging descent in the dark. For context, we were a group of four 30-year-olds in good shape with low to moderate hiking experience. We suggest discussing your fitness level, trip expectations, and each day’s route (including altitude, distance, and hours of hiking) with Safari Soles to ensure a well-suited itinerary for the best experience possible.
