An unforgettable trip
I took a trip to see the gorillas in Rwanda and to get to know Serengeti, Ngorongoro and part of Kilimanjaro from February 1st to 10th, 2020. From the first contact, I felt welcomed and all my doubts were promptly resolved. I highlight here the excellent service provided by the entire team involved. Always welcoming, kind and ready to assist me. I traveled alone and I confess, with a great deficiency in the English language, which was no obstacle at any time. Everyone tried hard to "understand" me and everything went smoothly and safely. The guides Edmond (Rwanda), Joel (Kilimanjaro) and Elinas (Safaris - Tanzania), were exceptional. All the lodges and campsites booked were fantastic. One of the highlights was the unique meals, served during safaris. Flawless complete meals. I lived unforgettable moments. On a perfect trip, safe and surrounded by attention. I especially thank Helena from Soul of Tanzania who made my dream a reality. I already want to go back because there is still a lot to see.

Dream experience with reliable agency !!!
We are a Spanish couple who decided to look for a local agency to carry out the safari since we thought they would know the stays and the experiences better! From Spain they only offered packages that did not adapt to what we were looking for and shared the trip with a group. We are not wrong!
From the first moment Soul of Tanzania passed us all the information and proposals necessary to propose our trip to our liking via email with an unbeatable treatment. They matched all our requests and requirements and proposed a dream trip, which we would also carry out on private tours throughout the trip.
Once there everything was very organized. Our two guides (one for Kenya and one for Tanzania) were very friendly, careful and professional, and they tried to see and learn as much as possible at each outing. The proposed hotels very successful, despite choosing the Standard class (the most basic of the ones that happened to us), the stays were comfortable and clean, and even some luxury.
In short, the treatment, information, organization and experiences with them of outstanding!
When we return to Africa we will repeat with them without hesitation.

8 Day Safari: Arusha, Lake Manyara, Tarangire NP, Serengeti (Central and South), Ngorongoro NP
I went on this extraordinary Safari accompanied by my two younger children aged 21 and 23.
I would be remiss in not communicating all of our absolute and unforgettable awe and pleasure in visiting Tanzania.
It’s incredible, warm and kind people, its breathtaking and varied landscapes and its astonishing, unrivalled and
magnificent wildlife have left us all grateful,
humbled and forever changed by this experience.
I would especially like to thank Jojo and Aziz for their warmth and helpful guidance prior to and after our safari. Aziz joined us on our One-day trek to Kilimanjaro prior to
the start of our Safari and provided translation, guidance up the challenging path and the initiative to assist me with my photo taking. He was unfailingly good natured and patient. My two children consider Jojo and Aziz a part of the family.
They are both remarkable young people: devoted, kind, patient, intelligent and spirited.
No words can describe our grateful appreciation for Hassan, our Safari Guide: our Moilimou. His incredible knowledge and patience; his extraordinary
skill at driving difficult terrain; his absolute empathy and conservation interest in the Tanzanian wildlife; his exceptional eagle-eyed observational ability at pointing out inconspicuous plant or wildlife created life-long magical memories.
It is as a result of his kindness and interest that my daughter especially became quite skilled in Zwahili.
It is also solely because of Hassan that my daughter’s birthday whilst on Safari was celebrated by the chef and the staff and all those present in the Camp that
evening.
All accommodations were wonderful and the food was fresh, delicious and beautifully presented !!
Thank you again Helena of Soul of Tanzania for your thoughtful organization of this memorable extraordinary trip.
As they say in Tanzania: Asanté Sana.

The Soul of Tanzania in a unique and unforgettable experience!
I am part of a group of friends who travel regularly and as a leading tour, I started my research a few months ago, in order to plan a Safari in the best parks and reserves in Tanzania and dedicate the last days to some neglect on idyllic beaches from Zanzibar. Since our group was somewhat extensive (21 people) and required greater complexity, I realized that the support of an agency in the field was essential for the success of the trip. I consulted several operators to whom I requested proposals, both in terms of itinerary and budget, and from the first moment that Soul of Tanzania stood out and even though they were not the most economical, they proved their advantage over other operators from the first moment. Throughout the planning phase, from the definition of the route, the choice of accommodation, the proposal for parallel activities, internal flights and even the stay in Zanzibar, I had the support of Luis G., whose role is Journey designer, and I can only give you top marks.
His performance was tireless at all levels and his pro activity is second to none. We exchanged hundreds of e.mails, and I've never been more than 12 hours without an answer from you. But I also want to highlight the professionalism of the team on the ground, whether in welcoming on arrival in Arusha, whose role of Mr Beatus is essential, giving us a detailed briefing of what we could expect in the next days of Safari, to the team of Guides who accompanied us ( in our case there were four because we traveled in 4 cars) whose commitment and competence was outstanding. In general, they revealed high professionalism, knowledge, friendliness, flexibility, and an enormous sense of duty, revealing creativity in the presentation of solutions that aimed to improve the pre-established plan or manage unforeseen circumstances avoiding the success of the trip. All lodges and campsites were exceptional, both in safety, quality and exoticism. The meals served during the safaris are an authentic must, complete meals, hot and accompanied by wine. The cars are very well equipped, with a cooler for drinks, (and how well you can drink a very cold beer in the middle of Safari), as well as being safe and very comfortable, which is worth mentioning since we spent hours inside them on the walks daily. The guides are incredible, they are authentic strategists, always knowing where to find the animals and what is the best position for the cars to be able to photograph. In addition to the "big five", we saw thousands of other animals, as part of a National Geographic program. Our car's guide was Daniel, who besides being helpful and friendly, his knowledge of animal life coupled with his safari experience, also deserve top marks.
I can say that without exception, the 21 people who made up the group rated this experience as one of the best, if not the best trip of their lives and did not spare praise from the beginning to the end. Over and over again they highlighted the excellent organization at all levels, the quality of the guides who accompanied us on Safari, whether for their competence, organization and resolution of issues and all this with a touch of challenge, making our adrenaline grow. The bush dinner was outstanding, we knew that not far from where we were having dinner there were lions and in the middle of dinner a herd of high-speed wildebeests, visible from our tables, probably escaped from the lions ... but beware! the camp team never neglected our security, patrolling the entire area around our tables. Finally, the choices in Zanzibar, either in Stone Town, on the beach and activities carried out, were considered top.
Anyway ... a perfect trip in which everything was accomplished, with no deviation from what was expected and that in the feelings of all participants far exceeded their expectations. To repeat a Safari, it will always be with Soul of Tanzania. They are to be congratulated!!!!

Great adventure
Our trip was planned by Jose and fitted our plans excellently. The price was competitive and everything put in place seamlessly. Pricing is transparent and easy to understand. The trip itself was everything we hoped for. We saw so much wildlife in six days and every day was different. The highlight was a cheetah kill but there was so much that was memorable. Lodges worked out well and tented camps were great. We had hot/ warm lunches with wine and were the envy of other companies’ clients. Our guide James spotted so much and his knowledge was encyclopaedic. Overall it was outstanding and even when floods prevented us getting to our scheduled camp a replacement was arranged to prevent an overnight in the jeep. Can’t wait for the next one!

The most wonderful tour ever
We were really impressed by the great nature of africa, especially luckily we saw male lions sitting under a tree.
All of the accommodations arranged by the tour were much beyond our expectations. The guide was very kind, professional, and trustworthy. The tour team responded to our questions in a timely manner and to the point. Even when our luggage was lost in transit, they helped us and managed to get and send it all the way to our place in safari.

Truly an outstanding experience
Booked a 4-day safari encompassing Tarangire, Ngorongoro and Serengeti. SoT were very responsive in all communication from the first contact and Helena, our tour designer, managed to book a custom package in accordance with our wishes on a very short notice. The accommodation was excellent throughout. Livingstone, our driver and guide, was simply phenomenal - he knows literally everything about the area and its flora and fauna and seemed to have a sixth sense about where to find the different species of animals. Consequently, the tour never had a dull moment as there was always something new to see. We might have been lucky, but during a relatively short safari we saw cheetahs, leopards, lions, rhinos and a crocodile as well as the more numerous elephants, zebras and impalas. A particularly nice touch (which others have mentioned) is the warm lunch, which we enjoyed using metal plates, goblets and cutlery so no concerns about plastic waste :) In short - Soul of Tanzania are professionals from start to finish and we had the trip of a lifetime.
