Incredible Safari Tour Tailored Specificaly For Us On Our Honeymoon!
5/5

My wife and I booked a private safari through Soul of Tanzania for our honeymoon and we are so glad we did! Soul of Tanzania was incredibly supportive and helpful with designing an itinerary tailor made for our honeymoon. They helped us choose from many different accommodation types at many different price points to get exactly what was right for us. Their flexibility made planning our trip so much easier than I expected. I was so glad that we were able to include the great migration into the itinerary as well as the Ngorongoro Crater (the best parts of our trip by far)!

We spent a few nights in tented camps and a few nights in nicer lodges ("lodge" and "camp" seem to be the key terms to help differentiate the two). Never had any issues with either of them. Lodges were nicer and more permanent, some had pools to relax and better food options. Camps were more affordable, usually not permeant structures, and didn't have as many amenities, but still were nice (tents were large, there was working toilets, hot water, decent food, wine/beers/alcohol available for purchase).

I want to specifically call out that our guide, Wilson, was incredible. He was very knowledgeable, incredibly kind, accommodating, and fun. We really cannot thank him enough for being so great to us and hope that others are lucky enough to have him too.

The guide assigned to your tour can definitely make or break your trip because you spend so much time with them, you are dependent on their ability to scout animals and share information with you, and hopefully the one you are with respects laws within the parks (we saw guides from other tours throwing rocks at animals to try to get them to move around/run. It was appalling). Our guide was fun, friendly and nothing short of a professional 100% of the time!

Second to none!
5/5

We had an absolutely incredible trip in Africa and the service was fantastic!

The booking process was very smooth and Marta was always available and responsive throughout.

The accommodation selected was amazing, we had a very special time in Nimali Serengeti! Both drivers were very helpful, polite and made us feel welcome - David was also very knowledgeable and accommodating to us!

The hot air balloon experience was a big highlight - we did not expect a service like that. It was professionally organised the views were incredible and the bush breakfast was awesome!

We had one small issue at Ngorogoro crate lodge as the room was booked only for one night - however, this was no stress on us as David was very helpful in informing us of what was happening, and of course so were the company as we had no issues staying the second night!

All our needs were catered to (we are both Vegan) and no details were missed!

We certainly had an unforgettable experience for our honeymoon and most definitely recommend!

Fantastic Safari and Guide!
5/5

Our experience with Soul of Tanzania was nothing short of amazing. From the moment we started planning our trip, Marta, our trip organizer, was incredibly communicative and flexible. She made the entire process so straightforward and accommodating, especially with our last-minute changes. Marta’s professionalism and responsiveness helped ensure we had a smooth, stress-free experience leading up to and during the safari.

A special mention must go to our guide, Emmanuel, who truly made our safari unforgettable. His passion for the wildlife and culture of Tanzania shone through every day. Emmanuel was so patient and kind in answering all of our questions and worked tirelessly to make sure we saw all of the big five animals, including a leopard. We even managed to see cheetahs thanks to his expertise and determination. You could really see his love for what he does, and it made all the difference. We highly recommend requesting Emmanuel as your guide if you get the chance!

Overall, we couldn’t have asked for a better safari experience, and we would highly recommend Soul of Tanzania for anyone looking to explore the beauty of Tanzania’s wildlife.

Once in a lifetime!
5/5

We had an unforgettable experience on our 4-day Tanzania tour. With the convenience of a private guide and safari vehicle, we explored Tarangire, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro. Our guide, Robinson, was not only friendly but also incredibly knowledgeable, making sure we had the best experience possible. We were lucky enough to see the Big 5, along with many other amazing animals during the safari. The accommodation and food were also top-notch.

I highly recommend this company to anyone planning a safari, no matter the length. They took care of everything from the moment we were picked up until the end of the tour. A big thanks to Manuel for helping us create the perfect safari experience!

Absolutley amazing experience
5/5

Had an amazing time on our 6 Day highlights of Kenya and Tanzania tour. We had a private guide and safari vehicle during both the Kenya and Tanzania portion of our trip. Our guides were friendly, knowledgeable and committed to making sure we had the best time. We were lucky enough to see the Big 5 during our safari, thanks to the commitment of our guides, as well as a number of other animals. The accommodation and food included in the tour were fantastic and definitely value for money.

Really recommend this company to anyone looking to do a safari of any length. Everything was taken care of from the moment we were picked up until the moment we finished the tour. Hugo was very communicative and helped us organise every aspect of the holiday (including upgrades and extras to make the trip extra special).

Amazing safari experience
5/5

Hugo helped us organise a truly amazing trip and wonderful experience. We did 5 days of safari and were very lucky in seeing a wide range of animals. Our guide Johnson was very well prepared and helpful in spotting all types of big cats including various Lions, Leopards and Cheetas. The accommodations were very comfortable and we especially enjoyed the Serengeti camp which was unique for its landscape. Zanzibar was also a nice and relaxing addition though must admit the Safari was our favourite part of the holiday. Very much appreciated also the flexibility in letting us tweak the itinerary based on our needs and requests. Throughout the holiday, Soul of Tanzania provided prompt support and proved to be highly reliable/organized

5* experience in Tanzania but Kenya partnership was less positive
5/5

I booked a 9 day private safari tour across Kenya and Tanzania with Unlimited Expeditions Soul of Tanzania.

From the start things were absolutely terrific - our journey designer Filipa wowed us with her responsiveness, helpfulness, knowledge, flexibility, and patience in answering every single question we had.

Our safari experience in Tanzania across North and Central Serengeti and the Ngorongoro crater also exceeded our expectations. Our guide Azaria was very professional, knowledgeable, safety-conscious, and caring. He made sure we had everything we needed and more! And he also took note of what we were interested in seeing and found us all the animals we were looking for! We were really impressed by his knowledge of the animals, their living patterns, and beyond that about the plants and the cities and towns we drove through. Every lodge that we stayed was also great - from the ambiance, to the cleanliness of the rooms, to the food.

The only part of the trip we felt could have been improved was our experience in Kenya, which was delivered by Spirit of Kenya (a partner tour agency). While the lodge and the park were great, the guide (Sami) left much to be desired as he barely provided us with any information, and the entire experience felt rushed with him impatient to be done with us! It’s possible we were just unlucky with the guide we were assigned.

Overall though it was a really great experience and we would definitely book a Tanzania safari again!

Great
5/5

It is certainly not easy to organize a trip for travelers with safari experience but Hugo proved to be invaluable, he understood what we wanted and planned an unforgettable trip for us. Always available and attentive to our requests, he always responded promptly and with great competence to our questions.
The lodges offered were spectacular and the staff of each one was always courteous and helpful.
Having already been to Tanzania many years ago, by choice we decided to visit only the Serengeti, the Park par excellence... Obviously now with many more tourists but the emotions it gives you are still unique.
A special mention to Laurence, our fantastic guide who, thanks to his great experience and sensitivity made us live unique experiences every day and who also managed to make us excited with the crossing of the wildebeests in the Mara River at a point of the river where we were there to watch and only 5 other cars. Something truly difficult considering the very high number of vehicles present in the Serengeti to see the great migration and the crossing of the wildebeests.
The watchword every morning was “cats cats cats” and Laurence never disappointed us.
If we were to return to Tanzania we would definitely organize with Soul of Tanzania again!

Knowledgeable, flexible and attentive
5/5

thank you to soul of Tanzania (Hugo) for helping organize our fantastic Tanzania journey! You were awesome to work with and designed an outstanding trip for us. Thanks a million! Great recommendations, knowledge, itinerary and attention to detail. Always answering emails promptly.

The three of us had a wonderful, unforgetable time and thanks to our fabulous guide, Emmanuel, we saw everything we hoped to see and much more.

Emmanuel was the best guide: always happily explaining each park and the areas in between, answering all our questions and going above and beyond by anticipating our wishes finding out where to see the best sightings each day. He is truly a most valued asset and ambassador for your company and Tanzania.

5/5

Unforgettable adventure!
The one-week trip was perfect. We felt very safe and well cared for. Edward, our guide, was the best guide driver we could ask for. He made our experience amazing: good driver, great at spotting animals from afar, and very knowledgeable about nature.
Thank you Edward and Soul of Tanzania! We won’t never forget this precious time.
Highly recommended!
