Avis sur Sote Tours and Travel

Great service, great company and guide

Our trip to Tanzania with Sote Tours and Travel was really great. Sote Tours and Travel is a good company that takes care of everything. They got back to us away whenever we had a question, which made our whole trip to Tanzania with Sote Tours and Travel very easy and relaxing from the beginning to the end. We had a time on our Tanzania trip, with Sote Tours and Travel. Our guide, Michael " The Champion” was really great. He is a funny guy and he made us laugh a lot during the trip. This made every day happy and fun. We traveled far but we never felt tired. Michael was very thoughtful. He never bothered us when we were resting. He always made sure that we were comfortable. I have to say Michael was really good at guiding us. He kept an eye out for animals. Took us to see them right away. We got to see lions, leopards, cheetahs and even their cubs because of him. Michael had a sense of direction so he never got us lost. He always found the way to get us close, to the big cats. I highly recommend Sote Tours and Travel to anyone planning a safari in Tanzania. An unforgettable experience from a company and guide you can truly rely on.

The Safari of Our Dreams – Perfect in Every Way

We had a wonderful time with Sote Tours who arranged our entire trip in a very professional and dependable manner. There was great communication with them from the beginning and they took care of all the logistics that we could fully relax and have fun. We also liked their tips and support whenever we needed it. It was an interesting and cultural introduction to our trip when we did a guided walk to a waterfall and experienced the process of making coffee in a local way prior to our safari. What a nice way to start our adventure in Tanzania. Our safari was a seven, day adventure through Tarangire National Park, Serengeti National Park, and Ngorongoro Crater, each presenting magnificent wildlife and scenery. With our amazing guide Reuben, we had the luck to see all of the Big Five as well as cheetahs, lions, and a leopard. Reubens knowledge, his driving skills, and his keen eye for spotting animals contributed greatly to our safari and our adventures were more thrilling. We were very satisfied with the choice of accommodations made by Sote Tours as they were very comfortable and everything worked out perfectly during the whole trip. We went to Zanzibar after the safari, which was just as well planned and a wonderful.

Sote Tours and Travel is a local company that goes above and beyond!

We had such an amazing time. Everything was very well planned, even the transfer at the beginning and the departure after the tour. Reuben was very thoughtful and made sure he could always meet our orders. We were fortunate to spot many giraffes, elephants, lions and a lot of other animals, a beautiful experience that I strongly advise everyone to try visiting Ngorongoro, Tarangire and Serengeti. We were also accompanied by another guide, Said, with whom we got a chance to do some extra excursions in Zanzibar. He was always very helpful, efficient, and kind, and we felt completely at ease with him. It is an experience we would confidently recommend and happily repeat. Besides that, we had dinner with Kelvin, the head of the company, who gave us the chance to find out more about the local area, how the safaris are organized, and their general philosophy in short, we recommend this company without any doubt.

Well organized, friendly and knowledgeable. Unforgettable experience

Our tour in Tanzania was amazing. The tour guided by Michael was very friendly and knowledgeable. He shared such an abundance of interesting facts about the animals and even went the extra mile to make our time enjoyable and to show us as many animals as possible he was great in practice, punctual, and made us feel at home. I strongly recommend Sote Tours and Travel as your safari booking agent.

Amazing experience with a very nice and knowledgable guide

Sote Tours provided us with unforgettable safari experience, which ended up being the best experience ever. The communication and organization via WhatsApp with Kelvin was smooth, efficient, and highly professional. We received excellent care throughout our entire time there. Our guide and driver, Shirime, did a fantastic job. He was extremely knowledgeable, explained everything we wanted to know with great patience, and made the safari an unforgettable experience. The trip allowed us to enjoy flexible and spontaneous travel experiences. This included the Serval Wildlife extra day trip that turned out to be a fantastic bonus. All in all, it was an amazing experience that exceeded our expectations. We are very glad we chose Sote Tours and not another agency, and we would happily book another safari or adventure in Tanzania with them at any time.

A Truly Unforgettable Safari

We thank Sote Tours to make our holidays such fantastic experiences, the planned route was not only very clear but also very flexible to talk and decide the best way according to our likes and the budget that we had. Besides, the proposal itself had some elements of freedom regarding which accommodation to choose and where to spend the night. Communications were very easy and they promptly attended to our requests and questions. It went perfectly without any problems, and they even took care of our changes while we were there. We give Sote Tours and Travel our highest recommendations. You won't be risking an inexperienced or unprofessional pair of ‍‌‍‍‌‍‌‍‍‌hands

Passionate, professional people who ensured we had an unforgettable experience

Booking a safari for a family of 6 can feel like a daunting task, but we are glad we decided to book our trip with Sote Tours and Travel! Kelvin's enthusiasm for Tanzania became apparent from our very first conversation. He was professional, patient, and quick to respond while we thought through the best way to spend time and money for the safari. Everything went very smoothly great communication, excellent value for money, and excellent choices for accommodation. We also appreciated how the team made arrangements for our flights and transfers to Mwanza, so that was one less hassle for us. Our guide Reuben was fantastic friendly, knowledgeable, and fun to travel with. Many thanks to him, and the team at Sote Tours, for an unforgettable 6 day adventure through five amazing national parks. Tanzania stole our hearts thank you Sote Tours for the memories!

The Perfect Family Getaway in Zanzibar

From the booking to the service we received during our stay simply brilliant. They answered to emails very fast, supported us in the organization of the a la carte meal and even informed us with some advices. They were accommodating, professional, and extremely friendly. Our guide Said was very experienced, Flexible (we were traveling with two little kids), accommodating to changes because of the weather and finally (and not in any way lesser than) always smiling. The transport was clean, secure and flexible. Our driver Joseph was excellent also. On the whole, I was quite happy. I strongly recommend Sote Tours.

Incredible guides, unforgettable experience

I had a dream to climb Kilimanjaro Mountain and indeed choosing Sote Tours and Travel was the best decision that I made. They were professional and reassuring from the start. Every question I had was answered quickly, and the itinerary was crafted to provide me with my best chance of reaching the summit safely. The mountain team was exceptional. We couldn't have asked for better guides, very professional- obviously in terms of knowledge, routes, terrain and altitude but also people who were just nice guys. They followed our health closely, kept us motivated during the hard times and then marched set a milestone after another with us. The porters were fantastic, they never stopped carrying our food, setting up camp before we arrived (and after we left), making sure our climb and the surrounds were as enjoyable and comfortable as possible. Another highlight was the meals. Each dish was nutritious, filling, and fresh just what you need at a high altitude. The chef's ability to prepare such a wide variety in the middle of the mountain was impressive. The kindness and dedication of the Sote Tours crew added even more significance to the incredible experience of reaching Uhuru Peak. To anyone who has aspirations of climbing Kilimanjaro, I heartily recommend them. Asante Sana Sote Tours crew

Unforgettable safari experience

Our trip started with a small hiccup, but Kelvin handled everything with such professionalism and genuine care. He was patient, empathetic, and organized well the entire safari itinerary and advised us on accommodation selection. Special thanks to our safari guide, Reuben truly the animal whisperer! He drove safely, shared incredible knowledge about the culture, animals and had an unbelievable talent for spotting animals in the distance. He took us to view the Big Five, cheetahs, leopard cubs, and tons more. It was a completely amazing experience start to finish. Highly recommended Sote Tours and Travel

Brilliant Kilimanjaro and Safari adventure with Sote Tours

I really wanted to say good things about Sote Tours, but it just wasn't enough! They were great to work with! Before our trip, the communication and the flexibility were perfect. They had great prep materials to complete the trek successfully. When we arrived, everything was planned to the smallest detail and on time. They were really nice people, and through both the Kilimanjaro trekking and safari, they gave us a world class experience. We found that the value for the price was very good, the food and accommodations were fantastic! I am sure that I will be going back, and I will definitely be using the Sote Tours team for my next adventures in Tanzania!

An Incredible Safari Experience with an Exceptional Safari Guide

We had an absolutely wonderful and truly unforgettable 7 day safari experience one that far exceeded our expectations. Our itinerary was thoughtfully customized to align perfectly with our preferences and budget, meticulously arranged by Kelvin (Travel Consultant). Every aspect of the journey from the destinations and lodges to the cuisine and, most importantly, our guide Shao was exceptional. Without hesitation, we would rate the entire experience a full 100 stars. We consider ourselves incredibly fortunate to have had Shao as our guide. With 15 years of professional experience, his expertise in wildlife identification, animal behavior, and safe yet skillful driving enriched our trip immensely. His remarkable ability to explain everything we encountered, combined with his deep knowledge of Tanzania’s wildlife, culture, and way of life, transformed our safari into something truly extraordinary. Although this was our first safari, we can confidently and wholeheartedly recommend this agency. It has been, without question, one of the most memorable and rewarding trips we have ever taken. Thank you very much!

The most memorable tour ever

We went on a 5 day safari to Tarangire National park, Serengeti National park and Ngorogoro Crater it was a great experience with a lot of adventure. We arrived at the Kilimanjaro airport at 01:30am and our driver Canaan was there to pick us up with a sign and take us to the Mount Meru hotel in Arusha, the whole trip was incredible hard to describe! Every experience was spot on. Our guide, Mr. Michael, knew a ton and took care of everything for us during those 5 day. Even though it was the short rainy season, we still saw a ton of animals. Everyone we met on the tour was super friendly. The food and lodging were way better than I expected, and the price was totally worth it. Overall, the staff service was top-notch. I'd definitely recommend this company for your trips. Asante sana Sote Tours and Travel

Extraordinary trip to Tanzania

We are back from an amazing trip to Tanzania and Zanzibar, an experience that in numerous ways went beyond our expectations. The nature to be sure, and especially the one and only Ngorongoro Crater, and the awesome animals made the whole trip very special. Yet our guide Reuben was the one who really made the difference. His expertise, knowledge depth, love, and funny ways truly made a great tour to a once-in-a-lifetime experience. He was always caring, polite, and willing to help us at every moment. We have been to a lot of places around the world, but we have never come across such extraordinary human and professional qualities. And it is because of Reuben that even those travelers who are looking for a more comfortable approach would be sure and they would totally accomplish the adventure he made it all possible, easy, and exciting. Also, we felt very comfortable with Said presence in Zanzibar who was very efficient and discreet thus completing a flawless experience from the very first moment until the end. We, on our part, will be very convincing to this agency as well as a means of promoting it to other people and we really want to be back there soon maybe for a climb of ‍‌‍‍‌‍‌‍‍‌Kilimanjaro.

Unforgettable experience with the best company

It was an incredible experience, a dream from way back that finally came true! Each day we were amazed at the fact that a new day had to come to share not only the trip with our guide but also with new companions. We never thought to see such a number of animals nor to have them so close to us. Definitely an adventure I really mean it- but every night you go to bed with a big smile on your face. A heartfelt thank you to everyone at Sote Tours for giving us such an amazing experience. We will wholeheartedly recommend you to our friends and family.
