Hope you get Joseph! - We booked these guys as they included a sunrise balloon ride in the total cost. I appreciate the success of a Safari is determined by the animals spotted but they also did little extras which really helped. Our vehicle was upgraded to an open sided vehicle free of charge and our guide Joseph was hugely experienced which ensured to avoided bottlenecks of vehicles and were front of the line for critical moments; for instance we had seen all the big cats by the end of day 1. They also sorted a professional camera and memory card for my wife for ~£65We chose budget accommodation and it was better than some 3/4 stars we’ve had in cities. Good drinks selection also included but if there was a point for improvement perhaps a little more lunch variation. Overall brilliant thanks to Joseph and team.

Safari Soles fantastic Guide - The organisation from Catherine was amazing and she answered all my questions prior to and after booking the trip. I chose the trip basically due to TA reviews and Catherine’s helpful advice.
Our guide Estomii, made us feel relaxed and confident with him from the off. He took exceptionally good care of us throughout our trip and his knowledge and love for the animals was contagious! A company is only as good as the people them employ and Estomii and Catherine are great assets to the company.
Note pay by bank transfer not by card as we paid 4% extra which the owner could have reminded us of prior to arrival at the airport.
Absolutely loved the tented lodge! Favourite of all our trip just wished we’d had longer to stay there.
I’m a coeliac and I was catered for very well by the hotels and Estomii.
Keep was kept very clean , was well equipped and gave us a fantastic African massage!
If Estomii is your guide you will be well looked after.

Fantastic Safari! - We had a fantastic 3 day Safari in Serengeti and Ngorongoro, both places were great but very different.
Our guide Christian was absolutely superb. He was fun, nice, knowledgeable and not least a good and confident driver in challenging terrain.
He was also very good at finding the animals, so we got to see many different animals even though we only had 3 day Safari.
The lodges we stayed were very good, good standard, good food and nice staff.
We are 100% satisfied with both Soles Safari’s overall organization of the entire trip and their great guide Christian.
Would recommend anyone thinking of going on Safari to book with Soles Safaris and ask for guide Christian.
If I am so lucky to experience and go on Safari in Tanzania again, I book with 100% confidence with Soles Safari.

Superb experience - 3 night fly in Safari - We booked a 3 night fly in safari with Safar Soles and couldn't be happier with our of operator. Everyone we have dealt with has been professional, great communication before and during the safari and the trip itself was so well organised. We visited the Serengeti and Ngorongoro crater and saw so many animals thanks to our superb driver/guide. We stayed in some great lodges and cannot recommend Safari Soles enough. You can book this company with complete confidence!

This safari tour with the safari soles tours was a perfect experience. In particular, the game drive with the Guide 'Simon' allowed us to see all the Big 5 animals. - This safari tour with the safari soles tours was a perfect experience.
In particular, the game drive with the Guide 'Simon' allowed us to see all the Big 5 animals. He has a good camera, and because he has good photography technology, he can show us great pictures. His nickname is 'Safari Monster'. If you can set the Guide, do it with Simon! It will give you a perfect experience.

Best Safari tour guide in tanzania!! - We went on a safari tour with our guide Simon(safari monster) for three days. We visited Serengeti, Ngorongoro. During the tour, our guide Simon was very friendly and gave us very detailed information about animal names and history!
At the same time, he's very passionate and funny!!😃🤣
I will go back home and tell stories to many people and praise Simon.
He is the best safari guide!

Amazing fly in safari with Safari Soles - We did a 3 day 2 night fly in safari with Safari Soles and our wonderful guide Christian.
Firstly from enquiring with a lot of different safari companies we were very impressed with Safari Soles, quick responses and answered any of our questions and also great suggestions of an itinerary and which lodges we had the choice of. Boniface was very easy to deal with and everything was explained clearly. Naturally when paying money for a service abroad before you go, you may be a bit nervous but with Safari Soles I can save you the job of searching and confirm they are a great and legitimate company.
From leaving our Zanzibar hotel where our driver was promptly on time it was easy with all the flights and transfers already booked for us to get us right into Central Serengeti Seronera airstrip.
Our guide Christian was excellent from start to finish. Christian was so knowledgable, a very careful driver on difficult roads, always checking we were ok and sorting everything at the lodges and most importantly he was an expert at spotting the animals and shared his knowledge of all the wildlife with us. Christian always got us in the best spots on the track to see the animals and take pictures and he tailored the whole trip to how and what we wanted to do/see so it was very personalised.
We visited Central Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater both were fantastic in their own ways.
Lodges - we stayed in Serengeti Safari Lodge the first night and Lion’s Paw Camp by Karibu just outside the crater. Both lodges were amazing and we were really happy Safari Soles were able to secure Lion’s Paw lodge for us as we know it’s popular but believe me, if you can stay there, do it - the views, lodge, food, service, location near the crater, is amazing. We would go back there in a heartbeat!
During our time in the Serengeti we also did a hot air balloon safari in the morning, we got to see the sunset whilst the animals were roaming around below us. It’s an early start and is understandably expensive but it was a once in a lifetime experience. After we landed we were welcomed with a glass of champagne and a bush breakfast to follow.
Thanks again Christian and Safari Soles team for giving us a great and unforgettable first Safari experience for our honeymoon.

Safari trip to Tanzania Africa - Our Safari trip to Serengeti National Park and Ngorongoro Crater Tanzania, Africa
The trip that was planned was well organized and executed with no issues. l Our guide who went by the name Innocent Rick was outstanding. From the moment that we met, he was a true gentleman. When we first met him, Innocent Rick, welcomed us with open arms and made us feel so comfortable within a few moments. His English was well spoken along with the knowledge , down to the smallest details, and through his experience gave us the full enlighten safari tour. His timing was impeccable , we always seemed to be in the right and at the right time.
We were able to get some wonderful pictures along with pure fond memories and even a few good laughs being with him.
Thank You Martina and Mark

Unforgettable trip - We went on this safari with Estomih. Wow. What a trip. Estomih was an extraordinary guide, the lodging was excellent, we saw more animals than we could have imagined, including all of the Big Five. We could hear lions roaring in the morning the first day! Would strongly recommend this company — ask for Estomih to be your guide!!!

Amazing experience with Innocent - Innocent was the best driver and guide!!!! We were so sad to leave him at the end of our excursion; he was so friendly and helpful and made us feel like he truly cared about our experience. With Innocent, he ensured we would see the big Five (which was an amazing feat in only 2 1/2 days!), he taught us about his customs and culture, safely and expertly drove during the wet season, and ensured that we were fed ample meals and were taken care of during our overnight stays. By the end of our trip we can honestly say that we made a new friend; he is so fun and easy to get along with! Also he’s a great communicator. I highly recommend Safari Soles to organize your domestic flights and transportation and to find you a guide who loves their job!!!! Happiness was our travel organizer and she helped us choose our stays in Zanzibar and the Mainland and was always available for questions. We loved being able to arrive in Zanzibar for sun and relaxation, and then flying straight into the Serengeti to begin our Safari. Although the Safari ended up being a favorite, we loved being able to relax again on the beach before heading home. This 3-day luxury safari experience was just perfect. We were taken care of every step of the way! (We especially loved our stay at Karibu, Lions Paw!) Be sure to ask for Happiness and Innocent and your travels will be absolutely memorable.
