    A great experience overall. They weren’t the cheaper around but before the safari they were incredibly communicative and flexible around my many requests. The camping safari itself was brilliant. The Serengeti is the most beautiful place on earth in my opinion and the view of stars from the campsite was like nothing else. Simon was a chilled out guide and Dennis’ cooking really was so delicious and every meal was something new and delicious. The birthday cake he made was the best I’ve had! The experience was amazing and they did everything they could to make the safari and hiking great. There was space for a few small improvements which I fed back to the company (only one pair of binoculars provided which we shared with our guide, camping equipment wasn’t the cleanest at all, one tent had holes, not advised to bring a torch, no pillows provided).

    We had the fortune of booking a safari with Safari Soles Tour and they transformed our experience in one in a life time experience. Bryson with is impeccable organization and Simon “The Safari Monster” with his top notch knowledge about the land, animals behavior and driving and planning skills. Thanks to him we were able to see all the Big 5 and we counted more than 16 different animals in one day!! The approach to them was always super respectful of them and their habitat. The Safari exceeded our expectations! We will keep this experience in our hearts and memories forever. With Simon we found a treasure and a friend! If there were one more thing I could do, it would be to go on safari once again With them!

    We had a great safari with Safari Soles! We did 8 days safari with accomodation. The food provided was very good, the lodges were perfect. We didnt expected that they would be so great, some were really luxury for example the lodge in Lake Natron! Our guide Freddy was exceptionnel and professional. He had a great knowledge about the nature and the animals, which he teached us while our safari. We visited 5 national parks (tarangire, lake natron, ngoro ngoro, serengeti and ndutu) in a short time and could see the variety of the nature and animals. Also the price was in comparison to others good and I can absolutely recommend this trip. Thank you!

    Unforgettable experience with our guide Simon! Saw the big 5 including 7 cheetahs, 2 leopards, 2 rhinos , and countless lions. The accomodations were very luxurious for a good price. Itinerary was tailored to our wishes, communication with the company was swift and good. As it is a local company, money spend with them will help the local economy. Highly recommended!

    Its taken me a while to write this review as I have been living in a dream since one of the most amazing holidays i have ever/ will ever go on. Its hard to put it into words but i'll try. I just want to say thank you to Raphael from Safari soles who helped me plan our dream trip, nothing was too much trouble for him and he was always on hand to answer my questions. Safari soles organised our flights from Zanzibar up to to Sereona air strip and back from Arusha to Zanzibar. The whole journey was seamless. We arrived at the Sereona Airstrip on the 1st of July where we was met by Elias Shema who spent the next 6 days showing us the amazing sites in Tanzania. We spent 3 days in the Serengeti, 1 Day Ngorongoro Crater, 1 Day Lake Manyara and 1 Day at Tarangire National Park before returning to Arusha. Elias was amazing not only was he our driver he was also our private photographer, Animal Encyclopedia, human binocular (he would spot animals for miles) but also a friend. He went above and beyond to make our trip perfect. There is not one thing I can fault from the initial booking (even me changing the itinerary numerous times) the flights, the accommodation, the food or the complete experience. You have made our dreams come true and i cant thank you enough. We will definitley be using you in the future and i cant wait to return :)

    We had a Safari in August with Soles Tours and it could not be better !! From the beginning I had a very good feeling talking by email with Bryson. Once in Tanzania, he received as in the hotel and explained perfectly the organization of the safari. The proposed itinerary was perfect. (Tarangire - north Serengueti - north Serengueti - central Serengueti - Ngorongoro) The trip guide was Isaac, and we had a wonderful moments with him. He had a lot of knowledge about the enviroments, the animals, local people... We could spot the big 5 and much more and. It really was unforgivable experience and I am so happy that we chose Soles Tours.

    We had a private 4-days tour for my family, we went to Serengeti (predators were amazing) & Kilimanjaro (beautiful waterfall and exciting expirience in coffee vilage) and Ngorongoro crater (unbelievable place for exploring). Whole safari tour was amazing, including tasty meals with local food, beautiful places for accommodation and telling stories about Tanzania & their people. I would definitely recommend Safari Soles for safari arrangement and especially Izack as a guide!!!

    Outstanding!! No words can describe how perfect Safari Soles managed to make our dream Safari for our honeymoon. Our guide, Ernest, was so knowledgeable, kind, and professional, as was all the other staff we interacted with. Ernest somehow always managed to get us to the right place at the right time, and we saw the Big 5 (including 1 rhino and 3 leopards), in addition to cheetahs. The Tanzanian Safari is an experience you will remember for the rest of your life and I cannot think of how any tour organizer could do a better job of organizing it for you than Safari Soles. Furthermore, their prices are reasonable when compared to other tour providers. Please remember to tip your guides well.

    If you are reading this, you have likely read an endless number of reviews to try to figure out which safari tour company to book with. I found it totally overwhelming. In the end, we booked with Safari Soles and it was the best decision. Know if you book with them you can have peace of mind that you are going with a good company and good people. From the moment Bryson responded to me, I knew his company was the right one. He was kind, and patient and always responded quickly. Our Safari was lead by Isaac who was incredible. He is kind, gentle and highly skilled. Our Safari was in the wet season, with lots of mud and Isaac took his time to make sure we didn’t get stuck (we saw other groups stuck and being pulled out with chains). Once you go on a safari, you understand how important it is to have someone who is skilled and confident driving the truck that is used and Isaac was both, and more. We saw the “big five” and much more. Isaac missed nothing - he saw every hiding leopard, black rhino and crocodile!! It was impressive. He was in touch with others in the area (by radio) so we missed nothing. Isaac was lovely to our boys, ages 10 and 14. They thought he was fantastic and even said they missed him in the days following our Safari. The accommodations Bryson set up were incredible, each with a unique vibe and always a spectacular view. I was pleasantly surprised by all of them (and I can be a stitch picky in this area!). Our meals were delicious. We saw many groups with boxed lunches but we had a delicious hot meal each day, with beer, wine and soda always on hand. To anyone trying to figure out which safari company to book with, I highly recommend Safari Soles. You will not be disappointed.

    This was our first time in Tanzania (and first time in Africa), and we had the absolute BEST experience with Safari Soles. From pulling together the perfect itinerary and getting the trip booked with Fransisca, to logistics, and then to the safari, it couldn't have gone any better. They are so good at what they do, and are also so personal and thoughtful. We visited 3 national parks in 4 nights/5 days, and the accommodations and food were wonderful. For our last night, they even booked us a super luxurious lodge/room, and even requested honeymoon accommodations for us which was such a sweet surprise! The safari itself was absolutely magical, and exceeded my wildest dreams, thanks to our our guide Chadi. I was joking and told him that he was our guide, biologist, walking encyclopedia, African masseuse (aka driver), mechanic, and friend all in one, but it couldn't be more true. He is so passionate about Tanzania, and it's beautiful wildlife, and it shows in his work. We learned so much from him, and he, and the safari truly changed my life forever. Asante sana for everything, Chadi and Safari Soles - we hope to be back in your beautiful country soon!

    Extremely satisfied with our 9-day safari with Safari Soles and in particular many thanks to Simon aka the safari monster! Full of enthusiasm and passion he introduced us to all the beauty this part of Tanzania has to offer. Simon is a great driver who creates a pleasant atmosphere during the trip. He has a lot of knowledge, is good at spotting animals and who has good contact with other guides, so we saw many impressive things. Cheetahs, the complete BIG 5 and the crossing of thousands of wilderbeests through the river created a great experience. Also, I can highly recommend Safari Soles to anyone who wants to visit Tanzania. I got a recommendation from a friend who was very satisfied and I completely agree with that. First, we received a full and clear program in advance, which was tailored to our needs. The first arusha tour day with chief was very nice. Chief is a very friendly, easy-going and honest guide who let us explore Arusha in a fun way. Furthermore, all the accommodations were unique and each one an adventure in itself. All the food and drinks were perfectly arranged. Every day there was a warm breakfast, delicious locally made lunch during the safari and good dinner. Finally, safari soles strikes me as an honest local company, which is why I like it so much. Asante sana!

    We had an amazing safari with Simon “The Safari Monster.” The company was very attentive to our needs and personalized our experience. This was a once in a lifetime trip and we are extremely happy to have used Soul Safari. One of the camps in Serengeti was overbooked for our family and even though it wasn’t Soul Safari’s fault, they were extremely kind and upgraded our hotel in the city due to the minor inconvenience. I would 100% recommend using this company for your Tanzania safari and request Simon as your tour guide. He is extremely knowledgeable about the parks and animals!

    We decided to book our honeymoon with Safari Soles Tours and would do that again. We had an amazing trip and really enjoyed the safari. During our trip we were able to see many animals and learn a lot about them from our driver Isaac. The accommodations were also nice and comfortable. It is definitely something else to sleep in the middle of the Serengeti for a while. The day trip to Materuni waterfall as well as the coffee tour was informative and impressive. The whole trip was really well organised ans we can definitely recommend it!

    My husband and I booked a safari with Safari Soles for our honeymoon and I’m so glad we did. It was an incredible experience! Our guide Raymond was incredibly knowledgeable about all of the animals we encountered and Tanzanian culture. He ensured that we were able to see as many animals as we could! We added on a hot air balloon tour, which was absolutely incredible, worth every penny. The lodging and the food was also excellent. I would highly recommend booking with Safari Soles!

    Sorry for the essay but …….can’t help myself So we contacted this agency before arriving in Zanzibar. I found out about them through a YouTube influencer . We told wonderful Happiness that we wanted a 3-4 day safari. That was all we knew . And boy oh boy did they deliver . First we got a quote and a beautiful PDF with a 4 day 3 night trip explaining every day what we would do and where we were going to sleep. And of course we had 10 thousand questions and Happiness answered patiently every single one . The thing I liked about them , well one of the things I liked about this tour agency was that even after we paid they remained exactly as professional and good in answering everything . I cannot stress how wonderful they are . Our first contact was with wonderful Happiness ( she is awesome) then we met Bryson the owner a really cool and sweet guy . Innocent was our safari guide and he was incredibly knowledgeable professional and sweet . He looked after us for 3 whole days and he was just a sweetheart . We did Tarangire, Ngorongoro and Lake Manyara and it was so incredibly amazing . On the last day we did the Materuni waterfall and coffee plantation trip in Kilimanjaro . And there we had Joel to look after us . He was so kind, attentive, sweet knowledgeable and professional. To be honest every single person we met this trip were so nice and professional . Accommodation wise the Dream Lodge was really interesting and nice the staff was really nice as well . And the glamping near Lake Manyara was magical. You literally opened the door to the tent ( which was very well equipped and clean ) and you saw zebras baboons and wildebeests . It was magical and so interesting . On the safari we managed to see 4 of the big 5 and we saw lions every day . I cannot recommend enough this tour operator agency . They all are a team made in heaven . Thank you so much for making our trip to Tanzania unforgettable!!!!!

    We did a 7 days safari through Tarangire, Ngorongoro and Serengeti with Soles Safari. My 11 and 15 year old kids were super excited with the experience, our guide Chediel was part of our family, he found all the best places to spot animals and had all the facts about them. Bryson was amazing following up with all the information for the reservation and booked the best lodges. Do not go to the big international sites to book the trip of your life, book with local experts like Soles Safari

    We had a fntastic 7 day safari with Safari Soles (June 2023). They were great to deal with, Bryson responded to all my emails and messages quickly and the experience lived up to the description and our expectations. Our guide, Jonathan, was excellent, his spotting skills were unbelievable and he got us to see everything we had wanted to, as well as being knowledgeable and informative. Accommodation was excellent, great lunches, always plenty of cold water and drinks on hand.

    We had an amazing safari experience during 3 days with Safari Soles. From the preparation of our trip to the realization, the team listened to us and did everything to meet our requests while staying within our budget. Our guide Elias was perfect, both in his explanations and in his search for the best spots to find and observe the animals! You can count on him to help you discover some incredible animals and live some very moving encounters! What a good surprise to discover that Elias has a very good knowledge of French in addition to English. The Chef delighted us during the safari with quality and quantity of food! Thanks again to Elias and Safari Soles for this timeless experience!

    We’ve had 10 days tour with Safari Soles and it was so perfect it was so hard to leave. We started with 4 days hiking to mount Meru with our guide Gasto. The guide was so patient and helpful to us especially when I was mountain sick. And we didn’t forget about the whole team with the best cook that helped us to experience the best hiking trip. We continued our trip with 6 days safari tour with Chadi, and what to say, he’s the best safari tour guide. He had such an enormous knowledge about animals, and could identify every animal from far away without binoculars (we always teased him having binoculars implanted in his eyes). Thanks to Chadi and our cook Action we’ve passed unforgettable safari trip! I recommend 1000% Safari Tours not only for their perfect service but also for their very fair price! We were lucky to find this hidden gem for our honeymoon.

  • 5/5 אייל �. 1 year ago on Google
    An incredible experience which got beyond any expectations we had. 3 days of safari, guided by the lovely Ernest who showed great knowledge and took care of everything we needed. We were amazingly satisfied and happy that Ernest was the one who took care of us. All the safari was planned in the best way, from the route through the tasty meals, safe car, and the beautiful and autentic lodges, which made the experience feels complete. We don't think we have any bad word to say or mentioning any flaw. Couldn't ask for more. The bottom line if I wasn't clear.enough - do your safari tour with Safari soles and ask for Ernest :)

    If you dream of Nature.... Safari Soles know how to make your dream come true; trust them - they know all about SAFARIS;) They organized 3 day safari in Serengeti and Ngorongoro for us...and they nailed it! THANK you Bryson and Ernest (our guide) ...you made us very happy in September 2022:)

  • 5/5 Daniel T. 1 year ago on Google
    Safari was incredible, we managed to see all Big 5 in one lucky day. Company is trustworthy, helped us out on all that was possible.

    Great experience with safari soles tours! The views in Ngorogoro and Serengeti are amazing. And they organized the tour quite well - good food (actually I was too full every day) and experienced driver 👍

  • 5/5 Peter S. 1 year ago on Google
    Great tour...especially because it's all run by locals. Our driver and guide Jeff was fantastic and really added to the experience. I loved feeling I was in the heart of it way out in the Serengeti. An awesome experience!

  • 5/5 Luisa M. 1 year ago on Google
    The 4 day safari is perfectly organized all around. In the short time you have the opportunity to see three very different national parks with different flora and fauna. The accommodations were very clean and spacious, and we especially liked the two nights in the tent, because you sleep right next to the animals (remember warm clothes!). This was an extraordinary experience. The food was perfect all around, there is always a vegetarian option offered in addition to meat. The very best thing about the tour was our guide. We can really recommend Simon 100 percent. He is super nice, answers every question and has a huge experience in dealing with the animals. We talked to other people from other safaris and found that Simon was able to show us most of the animals - and that too from a close distance. Thank you very much Simon! We will definitely come to Tanzania again and book another safari with this provider.

    My 2 kids (12 and 14 years old) and I went on the 4 day, 3 night camping safari. We visited Tarangire, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro national parks. The online booking process was smooth and any questions I had about the safari prior to our trip were always promptly answered. When we arrived in Arusha, Bryson greeted us at the provided hotel and went over everything we needed to know. He is very friendly and knowledgeable. We ended up getting put in a group with another safari company (Travel Africa Safari Agency) which was equally as great as Safari Soles. Our driver/tour guide, Joseph, was wonderful! It seemed that he could spot animals from a mile away! Joseph was full of information about all of the parks and animals that we saw. Our chef was great and made sure to prepare foods that we liked. We always felt safe and comfortable throughout the whole trip. We saw many amazing animals and enjoyed the experience. Bryson was at the hotel back in Arusha at the end of our trip to greet us and ensure that everything went well. I would definitely recommend this company!

    We had 4 days safari in Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro in campings. The first communication through WhatsApp was fast and transparent. Bryson helped to decide on dates and flights. And I am delighted that I choose them. Because guys provide a full service from airport to airport. You just enjoy your safari and don’t worry at all. Our guide/driver Isack was big professional in safari and just friendly guy with open heart. He tried to show us as many animals as possible. Our chef Dula was over my expectations, he is one of the best chef in my life. He managed to cook a restaurant level meals in field conditions. We had 4-course meals every dinner: salad, soup, main dish, dessert. It was with different kind of souses and extra sides. Breakfast and lunch were a bit simpler but also delicious. I highly recommend these guys, they are the best ones. P.S. Don’t afraid of accommodation in camping. You will get more interesting experience than in lodges
