We were very satisfied!
The communication from Germany with John before our trip was pleasant, fast and uncomplicated. Before arrival, we transferred 50% of the price and received a confirmation directly - so the booking process felt correct.
At the airport we were picked up on time and paid the rest of the amount.
The trip started - the car was very comfortable and our guide Julius tried to fulfill our every wish the whole trip. On the way to the park we made some stops to eat, we got to try delicious local specialties- very nice and tasty!
The safari was a very nice experience and we would definitely repeat it - Julius tried everything to show us all the animals - and he succeeded. We saw everything we wanted to -> and even a leopard on the last day! Additionally Julius told us a lot about nature and life in Tanzania - it was a very nice time!
At the end John helped us and got tickets for the ferry - so we could start our journey to Zanzibar relaxed.
Thank you for the great experience, it was one of the most beautiful experiences in our lives!

Fantastic experience from start to finish
I HIGHLY recommend working with Bryson and Safari Soles for your safari. Bryson was extremely helpful working with me to develop a custom safari for our family of four. I had some specific ideas and lots of questions, and he not only listened carefully to my requests and ideas, but would answer every question, and come up with his own suggestions based on my requests. As a result, our safari (with some extra days of hiking and biking) was better than we could have imagined. I have no doubt that Bryson can help you design the perfect safari for your needs, budget and preferences. Bryson and all his staff are local to the Tanzania/Arusha region, which was important to me when choosing a safari company.
On safari, we feel like we won the jackpot with our guide , Simon (aka "Safari Monster"). He was extremely knowledgable about the animals and history, and genuinely seemed to love being out in nature looking for animals. His experience and intuition helped us to find more animals than I have ever seen on safari before (including 5 leopards, 4 cheetahs and 4 rhinos!). Our cook, Action, was also fantastic both in terms of the quality and quantity of food that he prepared for us each day.
If you are considering going with Safari Soles, send Bryson a message with your questions, and I am sure you'll find him as helpful as we did. Asante sana Bryson, Simon and Action!

Very professional, helpful and kind.
From the first email contact until the end of the trip, Julieth was always very attentive and polite, trying to clarify all doubts and making great suggestions for our trip to be perfect.
When we arrived in Tanzania Joshua was waiting for us, very attentive, and polite, and accompanied us every day until we went to Zanzibar. Joshua amazed us by knowing the flora and fauna so well on safaris, he did his best for us to see the big 5 and we did. He was very professional and very kind.
The suggested hotels were great, very clean, and with wonderful service.

Best tour experience ever! You will be impressed!
We are a group of seven girls travelling to Kenya and Tanzania, and we had the best experience with Kiboko. The agency is very responsive and Claire gives us a lot of helpful tips before the trip. Our guide is Dexter and he is absolutely amazing. He speaks English really well and knows so much about local culture and animals. He brought us to see amazing animals and was always so fast in spotting the lions, leopards and any animal actions. He is very humorous and always made us laugh. We all felt so sad when we had to say goodbye and I would definitely come back to him for another Safari trip.

Consistent superb service!
What a trip! In February 2023 I completed my 4th safari with Bush 2 City Adventure. For this safari I traveled solo, returning to Tanzania for 15 days. I revisited Arusha National Park, Tarangire Park, Ngorongoro crater, Ndutu (for the first time,) and the central Serengeti. Probably my best safari yet! Jackson helped me plan a relaxed yet thorough itinerary, choosing superb accommodations and a variety of activities. The safari was a drive in, fly out-decreasing road time back to Arusha. The planning was impeccable, from airport pick up to drop off.
My guide Said, who had been my guide for my first safari 5 years ago, was as incredible as before-outstanding driver, very familiar with the parks and the wildlife, superb spotter, as well as courteous and witty. Although I traveled solo, I felt like I was traveling with a friend.
In addition to the game drives where I once again saw the Big Five, I encountered several other critters not seen on previous safaris, did a night drive in Tarangire, walking safaris in Tarangire and Arusha National Park, as well as canoed on the small Momella lake in Arusha N. P. I highly recommend the canoe excursion if you have time. It is a wonderful change of pace!
The Land Cruiser was in great shape and ran well. Bush lunches were either a superb lunchbox (infrequent) or more often, a hot meal complete with meat, vegetables, rice and pasta, bread, fruit, juice and wine! (I noted more than one envious comment about my picnic wine.)
As before, Jackson met with me at the end of the trip to make sure everything had gone well, discussing the flow of the trip, the guiding and the accommodations. Since it was so perfect, safari number 5 is already being planned!

George was an amazing guide and took such good care of us. R now consider him a good friend.
From the minute we left the airport until we left 3 weeks later. Our safari was the trip of a lifetime. Since our trip was the first after the pandemic there were many extra logistical hurdles. George was amazing and kept us safe and well cared for. We saw all of the big five and some others seldom seen. I would make this trip again and again.

Easy communication, helpful, insightful, good game drives
Have used KET Safaris 3 different times dating back to 2016. Always had great experiences with communication prior to the trip and the trip itself. Have seen the big 5 on several occasions, the lodging has been great, and KET has been willing and helpful in customizing parts of a journey or helpful in booking ancillary services (ie a train ticket).
Thanks to the team for great experiences.
