Unique and amazing experience
We had 6 day safari trip in Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Lake Manyara parks. By mistake (our fault) we booked safari in July not in June and a few days prior to arrival to Arusha I wanted to confirm the dates and then we became aware of our mistake. But that wasn't a problem for Bryson from Safari Soles who reorganized everything so we could have out trip in June. The communication with Bryson is excellent. He answered all our questions and provided all necessary information. After the safari he come to meet us in Arusha to ensure we had a good time.
We were able to experience the Great Migration at its peak, that was truly amazing. We booked budget option with sleeping on the camping and I recommend that option to anyone who want during this trip to be as close to the nature as possible. In Serengeti during the night antelopes and hyenas were coming close to the tents and in Ngorongoro the buffalos were grazing on th grass just outside our tent. We saw during this trip a lot of lions, cheetahs and were also able to spot rhinos in Ngorongoro.
Our tour guide Isaac had an extensive knowledge about animals in the parksand was gladly answering our questions. The food was really fresh and tasty thanks to out chef Godfrey.
To summarize Safari Soles is a great tour operator, very flexible, caring about the clients and communication is wonderful.

Professional
Professional tour with a guide who knows what he’s talking about. Picked up at the airport and at the hotel’s as promised. Camping stuff and food was provided and lots of beautiful animals!
They really did their best.

Trustworthy company that will go beyond your expectations in ever way and treat you like family.
In July 2021, I went on this 5 day safari trip with Safari Soles. It was amazing. I was traveling alone (32yr old white female from the USA) and had a wonderful experience.
I chose this company based on my initial email experience with Bryson vs emails with other companies. He went out of the way to tell me about the great migration happening around my travel time and helping me plan to travel for that (instead of just picking random dates as I was doing).
I planned this trip kind of last minute (with about 1 month notice). Bryson and his team had everything handled for me from the transfer to and from the airport, hotel stays before and after my trip, lodging during the trip, amazing meals during the trip, transportation to get covid pcr test before returning home (taken to testing site by Bryson, the owner of the company, at 5:30pm on a Saturday when I last minute told him I needed it).
I had Fredy as my wonderful guide, Ali as the chef, and 5 newly formed friends in the safari truck (the truck is huge, has 4 seats on each side so everyone gets a window seat. Pop-up roof got better viewing also). The chef prepares full course meals, it’s amazing what he can do.
On the safari, our Zoologist Fredy had tons of information to provide on each animal we came across. He was both fun and insightful. He knew exactly where to take us to see the most animals and how to have fun singing the lion king soundtrack on the way. Our truck got to witness the great migration of wildebeest traveling through the river and crocodiles trying to eat them, 4 of the big 5 African safari animals, and numerous other animals. There are so many lions!!!
I fully recommend Safari Soles to anyone traveling to Tanzania and will definitely be going back on safari with them again! The entire team is amazing. Trust me, you WON’T be disappointed.

nothing to complain, was all perfect
We booked the 5 day safari Serengeti, Tarangire and Ngorongoro Crater as shared tour and simple lodging.
We found and compared so many companies beforehand. Safari Soles Tours appealed to us because it was the only one of the companies we saw that listed what the money that is paid is used for. So we contacted them. Bryson responded immediately and answered every question promptly and accurately. He gave us another proposal that ended up with us paying less and getting more out of it. At all hours he answered our questions. Everything was super organised from start to finish and absolutely nothing went wrong. Transfers to and from the airport (even days after the safari), day trips, accommodation - all included. Very well organised, nothing went wrong and paid a very very good price for all the services included.
We even met Bryson, the manager. He took his time to meet us personally and wanted to know us as well and if everything goes well with the things planned. Very kind!
Our guide Isaac was absolutely fantastic. He was so accommodating and made our safari unforgettable. We saw so much through his incredible instincts and perfect timing. We were very close to lions, cheetahs, elephants, giraffes, wild beasts, buffalo, lepards, zebras …. He is very well read and knows extremely much about nature and animals. He was able to answer all our questions. Outside of safari topics, we learned a lot from him about his culture and the country. Everyday we had a real lunch such as rice, noodles, meat etc. where we others only had sandwiches or some fruits. We had so much fun with him.
The lodges were incredibly beautiful, with wifi and hot water. The service was perfect and the food very tasty.
All in all, everything was perfect!
Definitely recommend!!!!

Great experience and excellent value for money
We booked a 6-Day (Serengeti 3Days, Ngorongoro, Tarangire & Manyara) safari with Safari Soles and we were very happy about the service provided. We arranged everything via WhatsApp and we got always a prompt reply to all our questions.
We really had amazing 6 days, we saw plenty of animals and amazing landscapes. Our guide Chadi was the best introduction to Tanzania we could had, he was very knowledgeable about the animals and the parks, always trying his best to make our experience as good as possible, always nice and in good mood. The food prepared by our chef Godfred was very tasty and diversified and the accommodation was always clean and with everything we needed.
We really recommend this safari, it’s is a very good value for money.

Very helpful in the organising of the trip
We had a great time in the Tanzania national parks thanks to these guys. Bryson helped us make sure that our flights to and from Arusha will carry our extra sports (kitesurf) equipment free of charge.
During the safari we had everything we needed and we saw the Big 5!
I only wish our guide was a bit more talkative and would explain more things.

Amazing safari
We had a private 7-days safari in Tarangire, Ngorongoro, Serengeti and lake Eyasi.
I have chosen Safari Soles because Bryson was the first one to answer my questions. He was always online and ready to explain all the details of our future trip. When we arrived everything was great too. The transfers before and after safari were in time. The safari itself was amazing! Freddy is a perfect guide - he notices animals at any distance! We have seen the crossing and it was incredible! Freddy tells lots of stories and jokes. And he is a great driver. Denis is a perfect cook - our food was always amazing: very delicious, beautifully served and it was plenty of it! It was so easy and pleasant to chat with them. I felt us as a team. Asante sana for that fantastic week!
