We will be back!
Once in a lifetime experience!
Our Journey designer Mei Ling was very helpful and efficient with trip planning and accommodation booking. She always replies our emails promptly!
Airport pickup and transfer was very smooth.
Our Tour guide Saidi was very friendly and knowledgeable. We learnt so much about the wildlife and local culture. Saidi made our trip very informative and fun. We were amazed by Saidi's super good eyesight to spot animals with a distance. Saidi was very patient to answer all our questions, and let us take as many photos as we want. I think Saidi maximized the game time for us, and he always stopped at a very good spot for photo taking.
We love all accommodations Soul of Tanzania suggested. All were very clean with nice deco, food, view and friendly staffs. Both accommodations and food exceeded our expectation.
Big thank you to Mei Ling, Saidi and Soul of Tanzania!

5 nights from Arusha to Serengeti to Ngororgoro back to Arusha
My wife and I had a fantastic time on safari with our guide Eddy
The setup of the tour was amazing, the accommodations were fantastic and Eddy was the perfect guide!
We loved it and will recommend Soul of Tanzania to our friends and family
The accommodation was incredible and the photos of the setup don't do it justice.
Helena was a great liaison also

Most unforgettable experience! Worth every penny!
This is a company that will make your safari trip an extraordinary experience. I would like to give every one in this team a huge shoutout because they made my first African Safari trip a truly pleasant and unforgettable one.
I started to plan this trip 7 months prior to the travel dates. Luis was my point of contact and working with him was a delightful and easy experience. He always replies to my email within 24 hours and gave me all the support I needed. He handled all our booking issues professionally and fast. At one point in the planning process we need to change our travel dates due to our work schedule and he made it possible. I can’t be more satisfied to work with Luis.
We had a five-night safari. We stayed at Sanctuary Swala, the Four Season Serengeti, and Lemala camp Ngorogoro, all of them recommended by SoT. Thanks to their amazing recommendations we enjoyed our stays in all of them.
I know everyone who chose this company said they had the best guide, but I still want to say that our guide/driver, Denis, is the best guide we can ever asked for! This trip cannot be as memorable if we did not have him. He is a guide who has 20 years of industry experience. Not only does he have great personality, but also knows every single road in ALL national parks by heart and can spot animals from far away. I almost thought he had a super power when he noticed a lion hiding in tall grass from 1mile away. He always waited us at the front door of the lodges with his car ready 20 mins earlier than the time we told him to meet, no exception. During the trip I was curious not only about wild animals but also the culture of Tanzania so I bothered him with a gazillion questions every single day. He answered all of them with patience, and told me so many fascinating wild animal stories from his previous safari experience. While we were doing a game drive in Serengeti we had a flat tire. Denis handled it so professionally all by himself. To be honest I was a little worried when it happened but he made us feel we were in safe hands. He is just like a big brother and a good friend that you can rely on. He is truly an amazing guide in so many ways and my word doesn’t do justice. Asante Sana Denis you are the man!
We ran into some other SoT cars during our stays and I talked with another guide called Philip. He is a super nice and knowledgeable guide and speaks perfect English. Beatus, the manager in the Arusha office answered my call at 7:30am and solved an urgent problem we encountered. It is fair to say this is a team with the best professionals in the industry and they know what they are doing. The only thing I was not “happy” about was they made me feel I did not get enough of Tanzania in just five days and I have to come back again! If you are looking for a team to handle your safari in Tanzania, no need to search further because Soul of Tanzania can meet all your expectations if not exceeding them.
You will see me back very soon:)

Dont hesitate - book Safari with them!
ly the communication before the safari was excellent. Jose from the Soul of Tanzania Office was great. He helped us to arrange everything.
We visited Tarangire, Manyara and Ngorongoro. Everything from the airport pick up was great. Our guide Eddy was perfect. Safari with him it was an adventure. We felt safe, he took Care about us in every detail. He helped us to see big 5. Lunches were tasty, with a tableware, wine. Car was in a good condiotion. Lodges where we slept were comfortable.
So if you plan to do a Safari do it with SoT. They will arrange everything with you just like you wish. Big thanks guys, for a wonderful memories we have!

Exciting, unforgettable 5 days safari with the "King of the Jungle"
This safari was a dream come true that we had since childhood.
And what we experienced and saw greatly exceeded what we planned and expected.
It is thanks to the perfect organization of the whole trip by "Soul of Tanzania" - "SoT" and above all thanks to the wonderful man - Solomon who is really "King of the Jungle"
We were in 4 parks - Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Manyara.
Each of them was different and gave us specific impressions.
But back to the safari organization - everything was perfectly planned and made in accordance with this.
During lunches at picnics, we distinguished ourselves among other groups by the quality of serving and organization of these small parties - applause for SoT.
All accommodations were perfectly selected and the service in them met all the requirements - despite logistics problems - e.g. with water.
Sleeping in comfortable tents around which animals roared - a great adventure.
But security was vigilant all the time ;-)
Each of these 5 nights was in a different style, which gave us an additional, new experience
But back to the safari. Solomon promised us that we would definitely see the whole "big five" but also all mammals larger than mice - and so it happened and not only mammals. I think that few people have seen eg. over a meter lizard.
But all this probably would not have happened had it not been for Solomon with his experience, knowledge and willingness to share all this.
Knowledge of animal habits and his sharpened senses allowed us to experience all this.
Salomon saw with his eagle eyes e.g. rhinos which I barely found thanks to good binoculars.
Thank you SoT for everything and especially Solomon who is an unforgettable companion of this wonderful adventure.
DZIĘKUJEMY ;-)

Fantastic!
Our trip was from October 27 to November 3, 2019. We left Nairobi (Kenya) for Masai Mara Park, where we stayed 2 days before heading to Tanzania. The Kenya portion of the trip was handled by Soul's Kenya partner Spirit of Kenya. It went quite well with a very knowledgeable and friendly guide called Shuma. It left us on the border with Tanzania, where Ali was waiting for us, and we are now exclusively with Soul of Tanzania. Excellent organization. Good advice on the journey by Luis (Soul's journey designer) before leaving. Excellent basket of suggestions that we were offered for the lodges, very varied, but all very high quality, which provided us with unforgettable experiences. Fantastic, for those who wanted to escape the packaged safaris and tried to make an "a la carte".
Guide Ali proved to be a great connoisseur of the Seringeti (where we were 2 days) and Ngorongoro crater (1 day) and a very safe and responsible driver who, besides speaking several languages, showed a deep knowledge of the animal world and the its most specific characteristics. Highly recommended for those who want to enjoy a safari to enhance their knowledge of animals.
We ended with 2 relaxing days in Zanzibar.
Highly recommendable, could hardly be better!

The best experience ever!!
3 day safari
I traveled to Tanzania to make my first safari, with so much offer I was a little confused which operator to choose, however I chose the soul of Tanzania due to all the advantages presented by Luis, such as meeting the needs in choosing the itinerary, accommodation, hot meals and vehicle conditions. After the safari I can conclude that it was the right option. Our guide, Michael, has always been very empathetic and helpful in all our doubts. I strongly advise to include Serengeti in the script, we did not and later we regret it. No doubt I will repeat the experience with this operator.

Amazing Honeymoon!
Thank you Soul of Tanzania, Luis and Edward for such an amazing trip!
Luis helped us plan the perfect itinerary and helped us pick our accommodations in the most efficient, friendly and professional way possible. We exchanged a lot of e-mails and he was always very responsive answering to all our questions.
Definitely, one of our highlights of our trip was our guide Edward, who made our trip more than perfect. He has so much experience, knows SO much not only about the animals but also about the country & culture. Easy going, extremely professional, always in a good mood and very punctual. I always felt we were in the best hands and I really think we had the best guide in the whole country:) Thank you sooo much, Edward, for answering multiple times a day, 6 days in a row the question "Can you please tell me a fun fact about this animal?" :)
Look no further- Soul of Tanzania and their team is simply the best!

Unforgettable Adventure with Soul of Tanzania
Our group's experience with Soul of Tanzania far exceeded expectations, from beginning to end. The flexibility and promptness provided by their customer service team was exceptional, allowing us to plan and customize our trip that met all of our requests within our budget. Steve, our guide was extremely knowledgeable about Tanzania, the culture, the animals, and the history. He provided excellent guidance and service to our group, had a great sense of humor, and navigated the tough terrain in the Tarangire, Ngorogoro Crater, and Serengeti like a true pro! We saw so many incredible animals, ate delicious (hot!) food during our game drives, and enjoyed the beautiful Tanzania landscape. The transportation pickups and transfers to and within Zanzibar towards the latter half of our trip went perfectly as well. Steve and Soul of Tanzania made our trip truly unforgettable. Highly highly recommend Soul of Tanzania as the premier safari tour operator!

Safari in Tanzania with the SoT and its guide Pius exceeded our expectations.
SoT travel agency recommended us a friend. Safari exceeded our expectations. We chose the parks Tarangire-1 day, Lake Manyara 1 day, Serengeti 2 days, crater Ngoro Ngoro -1 day. We chose the cheapest loggias from the offered accommodation, but we didn't regret it. Accommodation and food was perfect. Our guide Pius was great. Despite our poor knowledge of English, we have always managed to communicate. Safari itself was excellent. We have been to Kenya twice but Tanzania has captivated us more. Thanks also Sandy, with whom I communicated when ordering our safari. She always answered my questions quickly and patiently. If you fly from Tanzania to Zanzibar, try to avoid Precision Air. What happened to us with this company was that although it carried passengers but not luggage, it arrived with a 24-hour delay. As we found out at the hotel, this happens often with this airline. We chose the airline Precision Air ourselves. She didn't pick her SoT. The overall service provided by SoT and the access of our driver and guide Pius was excellent. At least when eating one class higher than other agencies.
