Voiture, qualité des repas, qualité des lodges tout y est mais le plus important une équipe au top !!! Présence, réactivité, ponctualité, gentillesse tout y est du "Journey Designer" au guide en passant par toutes les personnes que vous pourriez être amené à côtoyer. Notre voyage a été fabuleux la Tanzanie est magnifique, les gens y sont d'une gentillesse incroyable et les équipes de Soul of Tanzania ne déroge pas à cette règle. Nous recommandons évidemment.

Easy Company to work with/Edward was the BEST GUIDE
We are SO happy we chose Soul of Tanzania for our trip! Edward was our guide who was VERY professional, knowledgable, answered all our questions, and made sure we had the best time! He helped other guides, he knew all the lodges, and he advocated for us at every hotel/lodge we stayed at. He made sure we got to see as many wildlife as possible. He has 11 years of experience and he is fluent in English. The pick up. and. drop off from the airport was seamless. We got to visit 3 different NPs. They let us choose our own lodging and were flexible about frequent changes to my plans. I enjoyed choosing my own lodging. The jeeps were comfortable and very clean. I know people say not to go in March, but the parks were lush, green, flowers were blooming, and all the animals had babies. We still saw SO much everyday. I don't feel like I missed out at all.

Travel number 1 !
Extraordinary safari!
It must be said that the period was suitable because, unfortunately for Tanzania, but fortunately for us, there is no one in the parks, COVID obliges (and yet Tanzania does not ask for any PCR test, just taking the temperature at the airport).
So we have the animals just for us .. and there are! (BIG 5 done!)
In terms of organization, everything went perfectly.
Vincent, our French speaking guide, was just great and found us a ton of animals. The children are delighted and so are we.
Having hot meals for lunch with a small rosé glass is a big plus :-)
The lodges are also very good (special mention at Nimali Camp Tarangire and Tortilis Serengeti Central) and the visit of the Masai village off the beaten track will remain an unforgettable memory.
So a big thank you to Vincent and his lynx eyes and to Helena for her availability and professionalism.

Trip of a lifetime!!
Just got back from spending 17 days in Tanzania, 3 days in Arusha, 10 days on safari and finished with 4 days on the beach in Zanzibar. Soul of Tanzania was absolutely fabulous. Helena, who helped me put it all together was great, very professional, quick to respond to my many questions and to give me ideas based on what I was looking for.
I can't say enough about Jacob Msangi, my guide. From taking me out for an afternoon of seeing Arusha and do a little shopping, on his own time, to his knowledge of the animals and things I was seeing. I truly feel like I've made a new friend! When you are travelling solo, spending 10 days with someone, you just hope that you form a bond and I believe we did. He was the best thing about the safari experience.
Seeing I went during the Covid pandemic I'm so thankful I didn't cancel or reschedule as it was a trip of a lifetime!
You can use Soul of Tanzania with great confidence and if you are lucky enough to have Helena and Jacob on your side, I know you will have a great time!!
Thanks again on showing me the trip of a lifetime!!

Amazing solo and first time safari
Soul of Tanzania is a very professional and responsive team to plan an amazing safari there.
My planner helped me to organize the best tour within less than 5 days before it started.
Everything was smooth and well organized, driver was one of the best (+20 years experience and great eyes).
I've been able to see all animals in a couple of days
Price is a bit high but you know what you pay for: quality

Perfectly Coordinated and Incredible Service!
We booked a private 8-day safari in Tanzania in Jan/Feb 2021 and were extremely impressed by Soul of Tanzania.
First, during the trip Onesmo, our safari guide, did a truly incredible job taking time to understand our needs and tailoring the game drives and conversations to exceed our expectations. He was tremendously thoughtful each day and evening with briefings so that we knew what to expect for the day and provided options for how to maximize our time doing things that we loved the most. He was proactive in helping us search for and see so many wild animals and had the knowledge throughout the game drives to answer our questions about each animal we encountered - including dozens and dozens of birds! The guides that care for you during the safari definitely make or break the experience and we are lucky that Soul of Tanzania employed Onesmo to care for us.
Second, prior to the trip Sandy, our Soul of Tanzania journey designer, was extremely responsive and helpful in arranging our itinerary. Even a week or so prior to our trip we had to reroute nearly all of our itinerary to add in a COVID test per our government requirements and Sandy did so within a day. Truly fantastic service! During the planning process, each individual is given such great care and attention. We exchanged probably hundreds of emails during planning and every time the response was not only very fast but also extremely helpful.
In summary - we would absolutely recommend Soul of Tanzania to our friends and family. Thank you for an incredible safari!

Unforgettable Trip, Wouldn't Change A Thing
Look no further!! If you are anything like us, you have multiple tabs and are weeding through lots of reviews. My wife and I went on our honeymoon last September 2020. All though there were some extra hoops to jump through with Covid, we were glad that we went. From the beginning of our planning, they took the time to listen to what we were interested in and were responsive to all our questions. They were able to plan a great 7 day safari for us. Once we got there, our guide Edward was waiting for us. If you get the opportunity, you should request Edward. He is a seasoned guide. He is also funny, knowledge, and will do his best to make sure you are comfortable and get the most out of your trip. As for the accommodations, we stayed at Rivertrees County Inn, Lemala Mpingo Ridge, Kitela Lodge, Four Seasons Serengeti, and Lemala Kuria Hilla. I can only speak for the accommodations we stayed at, but they were all wonderful and beyond our expectation. The hospitality was amazing and we had zero complaints from beginning to end. We will definitely be return customers down the road! My only advice - Don't look any further.

They are people who definitely can make your journey absolutely perfect!
We did a 5 days family Safari with Zanzibar and Pemba beach extension in October 2020 with
Soul of Tanzania. We started to plan and finally did our trip during COVID-19 pandemic. I love Africa, but have never been in Tanzania before, the main reason to choose this destination was that it was COVID-19 free and open for tourist from my country. I can say, that for the first moment it was not so easy to decide to start planning this travel. I started with looking
information about travel companies and found the site of Soul of Tanzania is full of information,
easy to navigate and their safari packages looks good. I decided to send a request and received
the answer very quickly. We have communicated only via email and it was very smooth process,
all proposals were very details and most questions were answered before I asked them.
This fact added many challenges to the planning process. But our manager Sandy was absolutely
wonderful and did everything to make this journey possible. We changed the flights, changed the hotels
– not because we wish to do that, but because the flights cancellation and hotels closing. And finally, it
was a smooth and flawless journey. I also must mention separately that Sandy gave me very detailed information about what to take with us and what not to take in our luggage, so through all the journey we felt that we have exactly what we need
During the beach part we changed 3 locations and all hotels and transfers process exceeded our expectations.
During the safari part we have been at Ngorongoro, Southern and Central Serengeti and Tarangire NP.
Our guide Elinasi is very professional, well educated and very pleasant in all communication moments
person. From the first to the last minute, we were comfortable and safe to make our journey with him.
We are a family with 5 years old boy and Elinasi always respect to all needs of our youngest traveller. My son really like him, and this is the best confirmation of all above.
It was a period with very small number of tourists, not surprisingly, in most of our safari camps we were
the only guests during our stay. Thanks to this we saw huge number of animals and many predators very close to the car.
I can recommend Soul of Tanzania as professional and responsible safari/Tanzania travel provider. All
our family are dreaming to come again to this wonderful country, and it is perfect to know who can
make our journey unforgettable.
