Amazing adventure, would highly recommend! - If you are looking for the perfect budget safari trip, I would highly recommend Safari Soles. We had the most amazing 4 day trip visiting Tarangire, Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Crater. Whilst they were all incredible, the Serengeti is a MUST! We were very lucky to see all the big 5 plus many many other animals. We saw lions, elephants and giraffes in abundances as well as leopards, cheetahs and a black rhino very close. Our tour guide Johnathan was great and eagle eyed for spotting wildlife, as well as knowing all the best spots to visit. Our chef Richard was incredible and rustled up the most amazing, flavoursome, meals in the middle of the wilderness! Camping in the wild was great fun and the tents and sleeping equipment provided were comfortable. It was really cool to be able to hear the wild animals from inside the tent!

Memorable Trip with great Guide - We had a great time with Safari Sole Tour. Easy booking process and friendly staff that will also support you with transfer from and to airport. Our Driver/Guide Simon had a great knowledge of all animals, Maasai and Tanzania in general, we even learned some Swahili with him. Everything we asked him he had an answer and during our tour he explained a lot. Simon was also an experienced driver and he knew where to go to see really close the lioness, the cheetah, the leopard and many more. Chef Dennis spoiled us with lots of food for breakfast, lunch and dinner. It was an awesome and memorable trip thanks to the staff to Safari Sole. Make sure Simon will be your guide :-)

Highly recommended for an amazing experience! - What an amazing experience! We are so so happy to have chosen Safari Soles for our 4 days/3 night experience in Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro, in a shared group, I had a few friends who went for another safari agency for northern Tanzania in the past, but I decided to do a search on my own and out of contacting 6 different companies, my boyfriend and I choose Bryson because he seemed very professional, reliable and with a good price. We were greeted by Bryson the day before the safari at our guesthouse and he made sure about any allergy we could have and also had a chat with us reassuring and replying to any question we had. We also met him after we came back, and he s always been pleasant to talk to. Our guide and driver was Chadi: what a fantastic guy! Very chatty and knowledgeable of all the animals, he was always happy to reply to any of our questions, always smiling and helpful with any request. Our chef was Denis, who prepared delicious breakfast, lunch and dinner every day - so much food for us we could never finish it. After almost a month from our safari, my boyfriend still dreams of his food! We highly recommend both of them. The safari itself has been a lifetime experience, no word can describe the beauty of what we saw and our feelings looking at all the wild animals we saw, the list is countless. We are also very happy to have chosen the safari with basic accommodation (1 night lodge, 2 nights tents) as the tents in the campsite provide a unique insight of the natural reserve and they are more than comfortable to have a decent night sleep. Our biggest regret is that it was too short! Definitely we recommend at least a couple of nights more to have more time to explore. In conclusion, we recommend Safari Sole to everybody and we hope one day to go back to Tanzania with them.

Deep in the heart of Africa - 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!

Amazing Experience - What an amazing experience! We were a group of five people from Portugal and we all absolutely loved it. Simon was our guide and he was excellent - Good driver, good teacher and a really funny guy. He maged to show us a lot, there was nothing we would like to see and we didn't...we have seen the big five in 1 day!! The car was great, it had all the conditions, including plugs to charge our fones/devices. The experience in the tends was good, but be aware it can get very cold in Ngorongoro camping park. And a warm shower won't be possible everytime... Action was our cooker and I have to say I really enjoyed every meal. Overall I had a incredible experience and totally recommend Safari Soles Tours.

Safari 4 life! - We've made this 4 day safari and it was just ... GREAT. We were a group of 5 people and we had the privilege to have Simon as our "crazy" driver 😝 and Action as our cook. We manage to see all the "Big 5" in one day!!! We came with low expectations believing we would only see some animals but Simon was able to show us almost everything. This is really his second home and he will explain you everything about all the animals, traditions etc. Regarding the food Action is an excellent cook, we told him in the first day that we didn't want "European" food so he cooked Tanzanian food and it was great...☺️. Regarding the car and accomodations it's was perfect, the car has radio, power sockets (so you can charge your phone's and equipment) and a fridge so you have all your drinks cold! Tents and sleeping bags are ok but be sure if you come in the winter to bring warm clothes. Asante Sana!!!🤣

Surpassed my expectations - Amazing experience, loved every second of it. Could not have find a better team (Simon our driver and Action out cook) to make us feel welcomed and safe. They made all that was possible and even the almost impossible (ALL BIG 5 IN ONE DAY 😃, plus all the rest).

Experience of a lifetime with Safarisouls! - We had a four-day Safari, through Serengeti, Tarangire and Ngorongoro with a group of six. Truly an experience of a lifetime. The company seems very professional with good logistics and we had a well maintained (which means alot on these roads) and clean car. Our chef Dennis provided excellent food and support throughout the journey, and our driver Simon just nailed it! He has a magic nose for finding the best spots, and he gave us so many unforgettable moments. He also is very experienced in driving in these parks, so we felt safe. Thank you both, and thank you Bryson!

Fun times - 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 fantastic, 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).
