Efficient and responsive; helpful and great to work with
It was brilliant. I was able to personalise the safari and then each day we chose how long we looked for wildlife. I cannot commend our guide Oscar too highly - he was articulate, knowledgeable regarding the animals, and he also had an extensive knowledge of birds. He was completely flexible - responding to our requests with courtesy and a smile every time. It was a pleasure spending two weeks with him as our guide. With him as our guide we saw the Big 5 and much much more. Totally reliable and trustworthy. Great value for money.

Very professional organization and terrific guide
Our three-day safari (Zanzibar - Serengeti - Ngorongoro - Zanzibar) with Safari Soles was fantastic! Everything was seamless from start to finish. Our guide Raymond was terrific - knowledgeable, easy-going, and great with our 9-year-old son. As it was March there was some rain, but it didn't dampen our trip. We enjoyed the birds and the lush green scenery and saw an amazing number of animals: Herds of wildebeest and zebra, large groups of elephants and hippos, giraffes, buffaloes, lions, rhinos.... Good communications with the company, excellent accommodations, and again a great guide in Raymond. We requested quotes from a few companies, and they were very competitively priced.

Good experience, but expected better organization for $6,000+
We did a 9-day trip with Safari Soles. Overall, we enjoyed the trip because Tanzania’s wildlife never disappoints—we saw everything, the Big 5 and the Ugly 5. But honestly, if we had gone with any other company, the wildlife part would have been the same. The difference is the service, and for the money we spent (over $6,000), there were too many "hiccups" that really bothered us.
Guide : First, the guide situation felt like a total last-minute decision. We saw reviews mentioning specific guides, but we were assigned a freelancer with no info given to us beforehand. When we met him, he was very quiet. For the first 2 days, we had to ask him for info instead of him telling us. By the end of the trip, we actually became very good friends and he was a great driver/knowledgeable, but when you pay this much, you expect more from day one, not someone you have to warm up for days.
We talked about it to Safari Soles on very first day, they said they'd talk to management. But we're already deep in the parks for 3 days, so there's nothing they can actually do at that point. We just had to accept it and make the best of it which we did eventually.
Food: We told them multiple times "no beef, no pork," but we were still served beef. The guide/lodges clearly weren't informed properly.
Hotel : During the initial discussion we were proposed a booking for Serengeti Safari Haven, but then the company told us there was some "confusion" about availability and moved us to Tukaone Camps instead.
Accommodation Quality: One of our stays (supposed to be mid-range) was the worst night ever. No AC, no fan, and full of mosquitoes. We couldn't sleep at all. At another hotel, they didn't even have our booking on file when we arrived.They don't actually check these places out, or they know they're bad and book them anyway because they're cheap.
Transport: On our day trip to Kilimanjaro, they sent a car with AC not working. We were driving on broken, dusty roads with windows open in the heat.
Overall, the management is nice and very reactive when things go wrong, but these small things add up. When you spend this kind of money, you don't expect to deal with basic issues like booking errors or hot cars. We left wondering if we should have booked with a different operator.

Truly professional and funny Safari Guide
I just returned from an incredible 7-day safari adventure and wanted to give a big, special shoutout to our amazing guide, Tumain, who truly made the trip unforgettable. He was professional, knowledgeable, and had a fantastic sense of humor that kept us smiling even on long drives. Despite traveling during the low season, he went above and beyond to find wildlife for us — from spotting hidden lions lounging under the trees to catching the graceful movements of giraffes at sunset. His patience and deep understanding of the animals and landscape made every moment fascinating. Nothing was too much trouble and he constantly had a cheery disposition. He made this adventure extra special, we highly recommend him!

Flexible, client oriented, excellent customer service
Safari Soles is a very reliable safari tours operator responding in a flash to your enquiries regarding possible safari itineraries, choice of loggies and providing any alterations whenever requested, fully assisting you during your dream journey in the wild. Our safari was a tailored made one, short but very intensive. Every minute of it was used to a maximum and our safari guide Simon went out of his way to make us see what we haven't even dreamed of like a successful cheetah hunt with a fantastic view of both the hunters and the prey.
We fully recomend the company itself and especially the professional tour guide Simon. A lot depends on the engagement and dedication of your safari guide if your safari experience is to remain memorable. We will never forget ours as it was outstanding.
