Knowledgeable and Friendly
I want to thank these young men for an unforgettable experience. Heading to Arusha for the safari, our flight was cancelled and we were sent to Mt. Kilimanjaro airport where we would then be driven to Arusha by the airline (about an hour away). Unfortunately, Baltazary had to wait 4 additional hours past our scheduled arrival time, before picking us up literally at a random hotel in Arusha. He was always available by phone, and quickly responded to pick us up when we arrived. To compound our situation, our bags did not arrive on our flight. I contacted Bryson as there was a language barrier with the airline staff, and he stayed in contact with the airline late into the night so that our bags were delivered to our hotel at 3am. Cheddy picked us up for our tour and we had a wonderful time. The tour was well organized and we saw all the animals, birds and more. Cheddy answered all of our questions and was very knowledgeable. We had great conversations and have great memories. He even had to accommodate us on the last day as it was raining, but we still had fun and made it to the airport for our flight just in time. I want to thank them for being considerate and compassionate when it came to the troubles we had with the airline on our arrival and still ensuring we had a wonderful experience. I would recommend them to anyone for their price, attention to detail, and the passion they have to ensure customers have a wonderful experience. I hope to return and stay longer guys, take care.

Goes above and beyond
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 definitely be using you in the future and i cant wait to return :)

Well organised, amazing and professional.
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. 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!

Awesome Tanzanian safari adventure
We really enjoyed our 5 day northern parks safari with Safari Soles. We saw lots of birds and animals (big 5 included). By the 4th day we’d seen so many big cats we’d lost count. Highlight was a gathering by the river… a large pride of lions including 6 cubs, a herd of elephants (around 40) and a massive herd of buffalo (100+). Our guide Estomih was great. His knowledge of the local flora and fauna was truly impressive. I think he was even more excited at spotting the big 5 than we were. Our kids (13 and 15) thought he was awesome! Let’s be honest, on a once-in-a-lifetime safari like this, having the right guide means everything. If you’re looking for a professional and knowledgeable guide with a great sense of humor we’d definitely recommend Estomih and Safari Soles.

Excellent Company with Amazing Guides
An amazing trip from start to finish. We did an 8 day safari trip, visiting Tarangire, Lake Natron, Northern and Central Serengeti, Ngorogoro crater and finishing with a day trip to the Materuni waterfalls. Right from the start, Safari Soles impressed us. Regina was very quick to respond to us and was very flexible in tailoring the trip exactly to suit our needs. The communication with Regina throughout the whole experience was excellent, she answered any questions we had, provided us with a brochure of what to expect day to day, and details of the accommodation.
We stayed in tented lodges, and the accommodation and food were excellent throughout. The staff in every lodge were very friendly and helpful. On the last night, we even got upgraded, which was the cherry on top of an amazing experience.
At the beginning of the trip, we were greeted by Sefegelli (Chief). He was a great person to meet on the first day. He was very friendly, and immediately put us at ease, he told us lots of interesting facts about Tanzania, and brought us on a cultural tour to visit the local markets.
The safari itself was incredible and so much more than what we could have hoped for, all thanks to our amazing guide Chadi. He went above and beyond to make it an unforgettable experience for us, driving around to find the animals, and his passion and enthusiasm for Tanzania and the wildlife is infectious. He is so knowledgeable about everything from the wildlife, to biology, to geography. I felt like I could ask him anything, and he would have the answer. He was also very kind and caring, and great fun to be around for the week. We learned so much from him and were so grateful to have had him as not just our guide but as our friend for the week.
If you have the opportunity to go on Safari, I strongly recommend Safari Soles and Chadi. Asante Sana for everything, we hope to be back here and on another tour with Chadi again soon.

Amazing Experience 10/10
Our guide Freddy made this experience above and beyond what we could have ever imagined! We saw all of the Big Five in under 4 days, learned a bunch of facts about the Serengeti and were treated to all the comforts we could ask for along the way. The company as a whole is very professional and accommodating. Worth every penny. 10/10

It was the best we have ever done!!
It was an incredible adventure and we would go on a safari with Safarisolestour again anytime! We spent two days in Tarangire National Park and stayed one night at "Angata Camp".
Before the trip we planned and discussed everything with Renatus from Safarisolestour. Renatus always answered questions immediately and responded to our requests so that they could be implemented in the best possible way! On site we were picked up by our driver Stanley with a jeep, which we had all to ourselves (and of course the driver). We were lucky to have such a nice driver who stopped wherever we wanted, always looking for animals and explaining everything about the animals and Tarangire National Park to us. Right on the first day we saw ALL the animals that can be found in this national park (giraffes, zebras and wildebeests, water buffalo, elephants, lion family, leopard, antelopes, ostriches, hyenas, birds) - of course you also need a bit of luck for that, but we owe most of it to Stanley. At noon we were at a larger hotspot on a mountain with an incredible view of the national park. Stanley brought us delicious hot food. This was great as I saw some other safari providers bringing "lunch boxes" with cold food (sandwich, apple) for the guests. Our accommodation "Angata Camp" exceeded all expectations. We stayed in a large "King Tent" and thought we were in a 5 star hotel with a direct view of the wilderness. The food there was incredibly delicious - we were served a 4-course menu. Without exception, all employees were super nice and courteous.
On the last day of our safari we even got several hours longer than originally planned, this was arranged by our driver Stanley.
It was the best experience we have ever had and we have the whole team at Safarisolestour to thank for that!!!!
The Safari cost $700 per Person.

5 out of 5 star experience
I had an absolutely incredible experience with Safari Soles. From start to finish, everything was exceptional.
The highlight of our adventure was undoubtably our guide, Estomih. He’s a true gem and made our journey unforgettable. His extensive knowledge of the wildlife, exceptional navigation skills and infectious enthusiasm truly enriched our experience. You must request him!
The entire team at Safari Soles was professional and very helpful throughout the trip. I cannot recommend this tour provider enough - if you are looking for the perfect trip, let Safari Soles turn your Safari into a once in a lifetime adventure!

An unforgettable experience with Safari Soles
Right from the start the communication with Bryson was quick and he answered all my questions. At the airport we had Chief pick us up who was super friendly and told us lots of facts about Arusha. Our guide Oscar was great, he worked really hard to make sure we had an awesome experience. He had to change the vehicle's tyre about 4 times and go to a mechanic in a town just outside Serengeti National Park. We also had quite a lot of time in the vehicle and some really long days (one day was 12 hours of driving). Despite being tired and feeling unwell for some of the safari, Oscar soldiered on. Making sure we were enjoying the safari was always his priority and we really appreciated everything Oscar did for us!
Some highlights were the number of leopards we saw on the safari. In total we had 8 sightings which exceeded my expectations! The wildebeest migration in the northern Serengeti was also incredible to see. We also saw cheetahs, servals, lots of lions, and plenty of other safari animals. It was well worth the money spent and I'd definitely recommend choosing Safari Soles.

They are a team made in heaven
Sorry for the essay but …….
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!!!!!
