An amazing experience! - We booked independently with Safari Soles and from start to finish, the service was excellent. Communication and online discussions with Renata were always professional, clear, informative and prompt with any questions dealt with quickly. 
Our budget Safari included Tarangire NP, the Southern Serengeti NP and Ngorongoro Crater with the Sero tented camp and Simba campsite. 
Simon, our guide, was excellent. He had a great depth of knowledge and experience knowing the parks geographically, along with his understanding of the wildlife. He was kind, considerate and professional throughout the trip. Ibraheem, our young chef, was equally professional, courteous and keen. His cooking was of an extremely high standard and he catered very well for my vegetarian husband. His mango salad is a salad to remember! 
Simon our guide had no problem seeking out the big 5 and so much more! It became obvious he was well respected by other guides and he worked very hard to seek out the best of the wildlife in each of the parks. 
I highly recommend Safari Soles a truly professional outfit that caters for individuals! 
Thank you everyone and especially Simon, Ibraheem and Renata for a trip we will never forget. 
100% perfect! Thank you, Safari Soles Jan and Steve from the UK

Estommy & Renata - Safari Soles gave us an amazing experience. Renata was excellent in getting everything booked and monitored our plans, flights, etc. throughout the journey. She displayed great customer service skills responding very swiftly to my emails. We spent our days with Estommy as our guide. Estommy was amazing!! Not only did he make sure that we saw all the animal action we really enjoyed his company. We saw everything we hoped for and more. He always had us in the heart of the action to get the best views and photos. He knew we liked coffee in the mornings and talked to the staff at each camp to ensure we were able to get coffee before our early morning departures. After finding out we were wine drinkers, he ensured we had plenty of wine on the Jeep each day. These special details are examples of how they go over and beyond to make our trip perfect. After our last day of safari, we missed having Estommy's company with us at dinner. I highly recommend requesting Estommy.

Amazing experience with Safari Soles - The safari trip with safari soles was really amazing. The booking and email exchange with Patrick was really easy and he adjusted the trip to our needs and requirements until we had the perfect setup. Also when we there everything was organized well and our driver Innocent was the best. He made sure that we see a lot of animals and knew the spots. He answered all our questions and it was pleasure to spend the 7 days with him. He is also a really good driver which can help as there are some rough roads. Highly recommend

Great safari in Tanzania - We have spent five fantastic days with Dickson and Safari Soles, and are really happy of our experience. Dickson has been fantastic throughout the whole tour. He’s a really kind person and an excellent guide and driver (we saw all the big 5 and several more animals), we really enjoyed his company and we can definitely highly recommend him! Second, the accommodations and staff working there were also very good. We were extremely impressed with the Haven Camp in Serengeti (staff, accommodation and food) and the Simba Lodge (staff). About the Embaikai accommodation (Ngorongoro), it was fine but we would probably not recommend it.

Phenomenal adventure!! Thank you to our fun & amazing guide, Christian! - Our experience with Safari Soles has been great! Oken was our contact from the beginning of planning our adventure. He was always responsive & helpful. We began our safari at Arusha Farm House which was a lovely place to rest after a long haul from Van., Canada. Christian (Chriss) was our guide for 6 days in the Tarangire, Serengeti & Ngorongoro Crater. Lunch was arranged the day prior & brought in the jeep before taking off each day. We enjoyed our cold beer, juice & water that was stocked in the jeep fridge. I especially enjoyed the Sero Tented Camp for 2 nights. There was a dramatic thunder/rain storm overnight & deep mud the following day! Christian did very well driving in the challenging conditions. It added to the experience! We saw the BIG 5 plus so much more! Ngorongoro Crater is a world of its own! wow! Serena Lodge was amazing for our last night. We were sad to say good bye to Chriss by the end of day 6. We highly recommend him as a guide!! Thank you for taking care of us & teaching us so much Christian. You can request Chriss directly through Safari Soles. If you are thinking about doing a safari, feel free to message us directly for more details. We had several WhatsApp calls with other travellers & found them to be extremely useful.

An amazing adventure in Tanzania - This was my first Safari and I enjoyed is so much with my family. Safari Soles were flexible enough to include a day at the foothills of Kilimanjaro after the 5 day tour at reasonable cost. Accommodation was really good in the Serengeti and in Arusha as we moved through the Safari. Safari Soles provided an excellent guide in Innocent. Very humble yet so knowledgeable and good with locating the animals. Innocent went out of his way to locate the carnivores including leopard 🐆 and even a caracal to my brother's excitement. Highly recommend Safari Soles!

An Unforgettable Adventure of Beautiful Beasts and Welcoming People - My wife and I came into Tanzania with an energetic attitude, an open mind for new experiences, and a high tolerance for bugs! We came here for just the nature, but we also fell in love with the people. The people here have a saying that there are many tribes and that they are united by one language, Swahili. Everywhere we went, we were met by welcomes and smiles. It sounds cheesy, but if you’re from a city like us, then it’s a much needed experience. I remember one time we were trying to spot the endangered black rhino from the rim of Ngorongoro crater, and I saw a small speck in the corner of my binoculars. It was an animal with a large body and a kind of sunken back. I asked our guide, Innocent, what it might be, and soon enough, everyone on the observation deck started freaking out. About 20 people started pointing, yelling “rhino”, and sharing binoculars and camera photos. It was just a short moment, but we were ecstatic and talking about it all the way to the lodge. I also remember the time we hired a local guide to bring us through a small gorge to a local waterfall. We initially didn’t plan to swim, but as we made the trek walking along the rock face (which was scalding hot), we said “why not?” The water was super refreshing after we had been absolutely roasted by the sun. As we were drying off, a group of kids from the village came and started singing “happy birthday” under the waterfall. Naturally, we were obligated to join in. After some fun and another round in the water, our guide took us back to the jeep, but not without some words on the way back. We asked what he thought of tourists from different countries, and his responses were hilarious! Throughout our adventure, there were so many full moments that had me grinning just thinking back on them. I remember Innocent started to ask us if we were ok more frequently like 3 days into the safari. I think it was because I was non-stop smiling for the first couple of days and he was concerned when he saw my naturally angry resting face (If you’re seeing this, then I wasn’t angry back then haha). All these memories and stories we’re bringing back with us are because of our guide, Innocent, his expertise when it comes to chasing the rarely-seen animals, his know-how with the jeep (we had some close calls on the rough roads), and the flexibility with him and Safari Soles in helping to plan the trip — sometimes even on the fly. I cannot recommend this company and guide enough if you want an amazing adventure! Professional, accommodating, friendly, some of the best times, and a truly memorable experience. Don’t hesitate, book now!

The one you can’t miss journey - This is one time in life trip with fully of wonderful memories. Thanks to Safari Soles, our assistant Regina, tour guide innocent, it came an awesome adventure. Our flight arrived in late night and took an hour to pass the security check. Our assistants Regina and Andrew kept messages with us, and responded really quickly. It didn’t take long time to wait for the person who took us from airport. Really smooth transition. Our excellent guide Innocent. He is full of knowledge and passion for the nature. I learned a lot from him about wildlife, cultures and life. With his professional skills, we successfully collected BIG GIVE in a short five day trip. In the wet season, driving is a challenge, but Innocent solved it like a piece of cake. I would not forget he said, akulamatata, with fully confident, when we stuck in water when crossing the river. Although it took some time to fix it, we made it together. For people looking for a journey, this is the one you can’t miss.

Amazing 5-days Safari - Simon aka ‘The Safari Monster’ did it again - I booked my Safari (2 nights Serengeti, 2 nights Ngorongoro in the Serena Lodges) with Safari Soles starting from Arusha right after climbing Kilimanjaro. The communication with their office upfront was flawless, I received a nice pdf containing all details for the upcoming 5 days. In the early morning of the first day I was picked up by Chief and brought to Arusha airport -only to notice that my flight to Seronera got cancelled and a later flight was reserved for me by the airline without any communication (worth double checking!). The office handled it well and reorganized everything. After my arrival in Serengeti, Simon my Safari tour guide picked me up from the airport and the Safari started. What can I say about the following 4 days of Safari and Simon: Just an incredible experience. I soon realized why people call Simon the Safari Monster. He was able to show me all the animals (big 5 and all the additional ones I am aware of) -and not just from far away! The second day he spotted a Leopard and was able to get us incredibly close to it. After informing also the other tour guides from all around, everyone was joining the spot and thanking him for sharing it. No 20 minutes later we stumbled over a cheetah which we saw just as close (amazing photos and videos). Other than many tour guides he drove very far each day to explore the surroundings- and it payed off. He knows the area very well (does it for 8 years already) and knows lots of details about everything that he is happily sharing. In addition he always carried a nice camera and did great shots, uploaded them to his phone and shared them immediately via Airdrop - this allowed to enjoy the animal encounters much more without the pressure of having to take good pictures. I cannot think of a single situation I did not enjoy, thanks Simon for this!!!

Trip of a Lifetime - Safari Soles created the experience of a lifetime for myself and adult son. They tweaked the itinerry so we could have a few days in Arusha before starting our safari and made special arrangements for us on the other end before our return flight in the middle of the night. We felt very well taken care of by Andrew who collected us at the airport and later gave us a great tour of the city of Arusha, as well as returning us back to the airport. We were so incredibly fortunate that we had Cheddy as our private guide, his knowledge and love of the areas he took us to were inspiring and his keen ability to spot wildlife in the distance was awesome. The jeep was well stocked, always super clean each morning, and his enthusiasm for the day's adventure ahead of us was contagious. We were really happy with the lodging at every stop, they varied from higher end to a fantastic camp at Ngorongo and we really appreciated their choices for us. Narrowing down the choice of a tour group was initially a bit overwhelming but I quickly felt that Safari Soles was the right fit for us and I am so glad I went with that! I highly recommend them.
