A Perfect Safari Experience- 3 day Fly in Fly Out safari - Serengeti & Ngorongoro Crater
5/5

3 day Fly in Fly Out safari - Serengeti & Ngorongoro Crater

Safari Soles - Bryson
Firstly i would like to thank the owner of Safari Soles - Bryson.
The booking/Trip was seamless from start to finish. We gave him the budget that we had in mind and he prepared various options for us. He advised us on the best way to exchange our currency to get the most of our money on our trip. The accommodation that we stayed in was breathtaking, we didn’t expect it to be that luxurious in the middle of the Serengeti, the pictures do not do it justice. I’m not sure how he managed it but, It seemed as if Bryson had specifically selected our tour guide Simon for us!

Safari Soles - Simon Aka Safari Monster
We were greeted by Simon as we landed, he welcomed us with a large selection drinks as he gave us a run through of the equipment in the Jeep. His energy from the get go was amazing! He was funny, professional, knowledgeable and proactive. It was absolutely seamless! We talked through our favourite animals, what was top on our list to see during the safari and he arranged the the next three days accordingly.
Day 1 - The Big Cats
Day 2 - The Vegetarians
Day 3 - Completion of the Big Five (The Search of the Black Rhino)
On our first sighting of a pride of lions Simon knew exactly what to do when the males lion headed off from the pack. Thus we were the first ones on site when the lion arrived under the tree for shade. We got our first up close look and could not have asked for a better view. He also knew exactly where to go for sightings of the animals on our agenda for the day and thus we maximised our days without driving around aimlessly. Simon’s knowledge is extensive and this enabled us to see all the big cats on the very first day which was absolutely fantastic!! I cannot begin to describe how amazing it is to see a leopard up close where you don’t even need to zoom your camera! Simon was so patient with us and allowed us to ooh and ahh at the animals to our hearts content.

His understanding of the animals, their behaviour and even their evolution kept us learning something new everyday. Even his knowledge of the vegetation and how it affects the wildlife is amazing. His passion is something see and made all the difference in our trip.


Arranging a safari half way across the world can be a daunting task.
I can assure you booking with Safari Soles you will be in great hands.
If you make a request you may be lucky enough to get Simon the Safari Monster as your guide !

A Perfect rating for a perfect trip !



Asante Sana

Highly recommended local company
5/5

Unforgettable experience with our guide Simon! Saw 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!

Amazing Trip
5/5

I did a shared safari tour of Lake Manyara, Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro NP with 3 other travelers. The trip was very well organized. Communication all throughout the the trip was excellent. Bryson was always quick to answer any questions I have regarding the trip before the trip begin. The trip was very reasonable priced and they made sure top notch accommodations and service all through out the trip. All the four accommodations we stayed were very well picked. I in particular loved the lodge where we stayed in Ngorongoro and also the tented lodging experience at Serengeti. Issac was our tour guide - he is a very experienced guide and went out of his way to take care of all of us. I also enjoyed our lunch arrangement - unlike box lunch, it was a warm meal with proper utensils and everything. Overall the trip was amazing. Safari is for most of us once in a lifetime experience and I am so glad that I picked Safari Soles for that.

Best tour provider with the best guides ❤️
5/5

The 7 days tour was really amazing - a once in a lifetime experience. Our guide Freddy took us to Tangire, Ndutu, Serengeti and Ngorongoro. We saw all animals on our bucket list incl leopard, cheetah, rhino, hippos, so many lions.... Freddy is the best tour guide you could wish for - he knows so much about the wildlife, is really friendly, funny and has the best eyes to find the animals. We also enjoyed our lodges and camps in the wildlife and the good lunch (no lunch packages like others but good and warm meals every day).
The last day, Andrew took us to the Kilimanjaro area for hot springs, a coffee farm and a waterfall. We had a great day, enjoyed the singing for the coffee process and the best lunch we had so far in Tanzania (all locally grown).

We can highly recommend safari Soles! Thank you Freddy and Andrew for everything

Safari Soles rocks!!
5/5

I just concluded a five day group safari with Safari Soles and I'm still awe-stuck from the experience! It was such a wonderful trip, I truly cannot recommend Safari Soles enough! They were thoughtful and accommodating from the very beginning -- with Bryson answering all my questions and arranging various itineraries to ensure I'd see each park I hoped to. Once the safari began, Isaak took over as our tour guide and I'm convinced he's the very best there is! He managed to show us so many wild animals and beautiful flora (beyond even my highest expectations!), getting us as close as possible to view everything, and always taking the time to tell us about the things we saw. Outside of the wild places and animals Isaak also took care to tell us about towns and villages we passed through -- speaking about the people, the cultures and lifestyles whizzing by our windows. Over 5 days, I learned so much from Isaak and I'm so grateful to him for all the knowledge he shared and for working so hard to give us a truly memorable experience. I'm also grateful to have had Isaak as a guide because he is very funny and kind and I quickly felt like he was a friend rather than someone I'd only recently met.
Again, I cannot recommend Safari Soles enough. If you're looking for an amazing experience do yourself a favor and book a safari with Safari Soles today!
Asante sana Safari Soles, Bryson and Isaak!

Excellent Tour - Highly Recommended
5/5

We did a custom made 7 day safari, Bryson was very flexible in the service he offered and I would certainly recommend booking with him. He arranged to pick us up from Arusha airport and we were very pleased with the guides, hotels in Arusha and overall organisation.

Bryson has good knowledge and can suggest itineraries but is also able to fold in extra requests, which we were happy with.

We paid about £2000, pp, for the safari and about the same for 6 days up Kilimanjaro. This seems to be a fair price that was cheaper than several other providers. This price was for a private tour, for 2 people.

Amazing safari experience with dedicated guide!
5/5

We had a private 4-days tour for my family, my daughter's dream was to see leopard & cheetah, which is quite hard goal, but our guide Izack did all so well — we caught both right on the first day. 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!!!

Local operator providing excellent service and well-organized trips with outstanding driver
5/5

We did a one week private Safari in November. Bryson was very helpful in customizing the trip exactly to our wishes. Our driver Simon (nickname the Safari-Monster) provided us with an outstanding experience due to his deep knowledge of animal behavior which allowed him to anticipate animals movements and created unbelievable
encounters at close range with elephants, lions, cheetahs, hippos and many other. We very much appreciated his respectful behavior towards the wildlife, people and environment as well as his friendly nature.
