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!
And I bet you have a great chance to see so many animals with him👍🏻😘

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.

3-day Fly in Safari and Kilimanjaro foothills tour - The only way to describe our Safari Soles experience was total perfection. From the minute we made our enquiry to them, they were fantastic, extremely helpful and informative. Renatus assisted us promptly and helped us tailor our trip to suit our timescales, budget and wants. He was contactable whilst we were away and was brilliant throughout.
We opted for a three-day, fly in fly out from Zanzibar, including the day trip to the foothills of Kilimanjaro (day 1), safari in the Tarangire park (day 2) and finally a trip to the Ngorongoro crater (day 3).
Day 1 Foothills of Mt. Kilimanjaro - We are glad we added the first day because it meant we could maximise the safari days without the flight in the morning, but the experience itself was unbelievable. Our guide and driver Baltazari was lovely, very informative and made sure we maximised our day. He taught us about local culture as well as his personal experiences, whilst taking us on a fantastic walk to the Materuni waterfall which was stunning, a coffee plantation and a beautiful hot spring.
Day 2 & 3 Tarangire Safari and Ngorongoro crater - Our safari days were unforgettable and made so due to our guide Simon, better known as the Safari Monster!! He was so lovely, a fantastic driver and guide and without him our days would not have been as good as they were - he went above and beyond. Without him, we would not have seen the Big 5 in 24hours, a new record! We put our trust in him and he delivered the best experience we have ever had.
Out of the animals we saw including, giraffes, elephants and lions (and much more) it is incredibly hard to see leopards and rhinos out on safari but we saw it all!! Even telling local people on our return about it they said that it is unheard of and that we had a very special trip.
We would highly recommend you book a trip with him and he would be our first choice for any future experience with Safari Soles (fingers crossed). Simon is a legend and we miss him already!
One difference that set Safari Soles apart from other tours we saw on Safari was the food that we had whilst out on the game drives. We had full meals, prepared and cooked by local people in comparison to the sandwich and juice box other groups had and it was delicious!
Overall, our experience was 11/10. If you are thinking of booking a trip to Tanzania, Safari Soles and the guides we have mentioned - they are a fantastic choice.

Incredible Safari Experience! - My wife and I researched and planned this trip for a year. We selected Safari Soles based on reviews and on information sent from Bryson Robert. Our safari was supposed to start on October 14, my birthday. Unfortunately I became very ill the day before and could not make the date. We had to cancel at the last minute. I was certain that we had lost our chance. Bryson was able to get us a new flight and change all of the reservations, saving the day for us. We are so grateful because this was the best tour experience of our (long) lives!
Our tour guide, Jonathan, was amazing. He is extremely knowledgeable on the regional topics of wildlife, geography and history. He speaks clearly. He is a safe driver and was always able to maneuver us to the best view possible. He sees to his client’s comfort. Most of all he is a great guy and was a joy to spend 3 days with!
The accommodations were outstanding, especially Ngorongoro Serena Safari Lodge. The vehicle was clean, comfortable and well maintained.
The Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater are spectacular and we saw virtually every species you would hope to see on a safari.
If you are considering a safari you can’t go wrong with Safari Soles. And if something goes wrong Bryson will do his best to fix it!
Be sure to request Jonathan!!
