Fantastic experience from start to finish
I HIGHLY recommend working with Bryson and Safari Soles for your safari. Bryson was extremely helpful working with me to develop a custom safari for our family of four. I had some specific ideas and lots of questions, and he not only listened carefully to my requests and ideas, but would answer every question, and come up with his own suggestions based on my requests. As a result, our safari (with some extra days of hiking and biking) was better than we could have imagined. I have no doubt that Bryson can help you design the perfect safari for your needs, budget and preferences. Bryson and all his staff are local to the Tanzania/Arusha region, which was important to me when choosing a safari company.
On safari, we feel like we won the jackpot with our guide , Simon (aka "Safari Monster"). He was extremely knowledgable about the animals and history, and genuinely seemed to love being out in nature looking for animals. His experience and intuition helped us to find more animals than I have ever seen on safari before (including 5 leopards, 4 cheetahs and 4 rhinos!). Our cook, Action, was also fantastic both in terms of the quality and quantity of food that he prepared for us each day.
If you are considering going with Safari Soles, send Bryson a message with your questions, and I am sure you'll find him as helpful as we did. Asante sana Bryson, Simon and Action!

Amazing safari tour operator in Arusha - 100% recommend
Bryson at Safari Soles is excellent at putting together tailor made safaris. He is patient and responds quickly on WhatsApp. I had 8 quotes before settling on final tour! It surpassed expectations for the whole group (family of 5, 3 adult kids 24-29). Our guide Isaac was outstanding with excellent English & knowledge of the Serengeti. His driving was incredible on the challenging tracks and he got us as close to everything. He was in constant radio contact with other guides which meant we didn’t miss a thing when there was animal action nearby & it was lovely that everyone knew him & greeted him warmly. We were well looked after, our recommended lodges & camps were perfect.
I was worried about using a local company with no affiliation to ABTA or similar but was assured by Safari Bookings that all their listed companies are vetted/trustworthy. I would book again with Safari Soles without reservation. They are a first class tour company & it was invaluable having direct contact with the organizer with local knowledge. Thank you Bryson & Isaac for giving us the trip of a lifetime…

Safari Soles exceeded expectations and offered peace of mind
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 Izack who was incredible. He is kind, gentle and highly skilled. Our Safari was in the wet season, with lots of mud and Izack 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 Izack was both, and more. We saw the “big five” and much more. Izack 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.
Izack 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.

Great trip from start to finish
We were taking care of from start to finish. Our Guide, Simon, was the best. Made sure we saw everything we could, big 5 and all. He was very attentive to our needs and made sure to answer all our questions. Ate well everywhere we went, hotels, lunch boxes, etc. Be ready to spend a lot of time in the truck if you want to see everything and enjoy the beautiful scenery. Safari Soles was very helpful to help us choose the right program and hotels considering our budget and needs. Would recommend this tour operator without hesitation.

Amazing experience!
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!

Once in a life time experience
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!

Simon- the Safari Master! Please Book with him!
Simon! We nod mchizi wangu! My wife and I had the rare pleasure of being on Safari with the Safari Master (formerly known as the Safari Monster! We could not be happier with our experience! The safari was fantastic, but considering we are in a car for days with our guide it would be irresponsible of me to limit my praise! Simon is the best driver that anyone could ask for. He was not only hospitable and knowledgeable, but he was also warm and engaging. His enthusiasm for his work is only overshadowed by his passion for people, and we were blessed to be with him on our Safari.
Tutarudi tena!
We will be telling everyone we know to book with Safari Soles, and specifically the Safari Master!

Fantastic experience
We had an amazing guide which was very professional and knowledgeable. He told us a lot if interesting facts about the places and animals we saw. We also got to see an impressive amount of animals up close for such a short safari. My girlfriend is gluten intolerant and they made sure that every meal was gluten free, which was really appreciated. Overall very well organized safari and Bryson is very easy to get in contact with. Would definitely book another safari with Safari Soles.

Highly recommend!
We did a 8 day tour with Safari soles including starting from Arusha and a 6 day safari to Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Lake Manjara. Simon was our guide and he really was the best guide we could have wished for. He really went the extra mile for us. All the lodges we stayed in where very beautiful, with amazing views, the most kind staff and great services included. We took a fresh prepared lunch with us everyday and even when we went on safari at 6 a clock in the morning all lodges made sure our breakfast was packed on time to take on the jeep. I wrote to different agency's to send us a quote for our safari. Safari Soles was definitely the most professional they took up on all our wishes and responded very quickly 24/7. I Highly recommend Safari Soles Tours!
