S of T what an experience
5/5

What an experience, we saw the Big Five and so many more animals one of my favourite vacations

First of all thank you Josè, for organising our trip to The Serengeti and The Ngorongoro crater and all the accommodation…

Special acknowledgment to Our driver and Guide Mwinyi he was amazing he listened to all our daily requests, and told us so much about the areas we visited, the animals and there habitats including making the animal sounds when we were close to some of the animals which made them come closer.

The meals we had, hot and presented so well, my only issue was that my partner doesn’t like vegetables which there was in every dish which we did mention to our guide…

The first accommodation which sadly wasn’t our first choice, but it was Christmas and had a lovely view and pool.
The second accommodation was perfect, luxury glamping campsite next to the lions and hyenas. We stayed there for 2 nights right in the middle of the Serengeti the staff were amazing and very attentive… We would definitely go back
Our last camp was above the Ngorongoro crater it was very cold up there compared to the other camps but they did have an open fire and hot water bottles and 3 course meals
The Soul of Tanzania I would highly recommend especially our guide Mwinyi

5/5

I wanted to leave this review as it was the best experience I have ever had. To start with the booking process was so easy, my agent Marta was always super helpful in answering all my questions and making suggestions. I was a little hesitant because I was travelling by myself so I wanted a secure company. From the moment I arrived everything was as planned, the pick ups, the drop off's, the experiences and my guide Sele went over his way to make my dreams come true in terms of wildlife spotting in Serengeti. He was always so worried about my comfort and happiness. I can never thank him enough for making it possible for me to have an undescribable experience. I will definitely recommend this to all my friends. Asante Sana from the bottom of my heart Soul of Tanzania.

Magical Trip!

We Just finished an unforgettable six day Tanzania Safari with George our expert guide. We visited three national parks, Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro Conservation Area Area and Serengeti. Our guide George was extremely knowledgable, he knew how and where to find animals, allowing many up close and personal encounters.We saw the big five, as well as many other animals.

It was very comforting to have someone meet us after deplaning our flights. Luis did a great job taking care of us in the planning and George was awesome every day of our safari. He not only was amazing at driving and spotting animals, he was also very kind and aware of our comfort at all times. George is simply THE BEST!!

This was a three generation trip and George kept everybody interested. Our eleven year old grandson’s heart was set on seeing a crocodile, which George found on the final day.

Our lodges and tented camps(2) were first rate. We chose the second to the highest housing category and were very satisfied.

The Nasikia Migration Camp has an enthusiastic, polite and fun staff; they make you feel like their camp is your home. Two of our other properties were Melia brand hotels, which had well trained attentive staff and great swimming pools.

We spent 4 days at the Gran Melia in Arusha before our safari began. It was beautiful, with extensive gardens; every roof of the hotel complex was a garden, as well as acre after acre of gardens that supply all their herbs and all of their coffee beans.

The Kilimamoja Lodge was amazing! We had a double shower, an outdoor shower and a beautiful stand alone bathtub, as well as a comfy bed and a fireplace.

The Melia Serengeti Lodge did not disappoint. It was beautiful with gorgeous views and a lovely swimming pool.

We spent 5 days post safari in Zanzibar resting up before our long flights home. The water is the most amazing color and we were happy to have the experience of visiting another part of Tanzania.

Would do this trip over again in a heartbeat.

An unforgettable safari experience with an awesome tour company
5/5

We just got back from a 5 day safari with Soul of Tanzania to Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro Crater, Ndutu & the Central Serengeti. Our sales specialist Jose was amazing & helped us customize the trip to meet our time, price & schedule requirements. He was always very prompt in his responses & gave us tons of options to choose from.

Our designated guide Shaffie took amazing care of us & ensured that we always had incredible experiences during every game drive. We saw the big 5 & a lot more thanks to his knowledge & perseverance.

I would highly recommend Soul of Tanzania for an unforgettable safari experience to Tanzania!

Excellent days of safaris! It was really far beyond all expectations
5/5

I decided to organize a 6 safari days in Tanzania - Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Central Serengeti, Ndutu, Ngorongoro - and decided to contact Soul of Tanzania which was very helpful and professional.
I had Fuhah Kileo as my guide and he was the best guide I could have on this trip. He demonstrated to have a large experience, he was very attentive on all details, he had an “eagle eye” and gave me all the information I may need. Fuhah is very polite and easy going. We had 6 excellent days. We were able to see all the Big 5, wildebeest migration, to be with Lions on our side more than once, chetahs, leopards, elephants, giraffes, zebras, hippos, buffalo and even a rhino which is very hard too see.
I can assure that these days were above all my high expectations and I will never forget this trip.
I would love to return with my sons and I assure you that I will organize it with Soul of Tanzania and request Fuhah as our guide.
Thank you

Well organised with great caring team that always puts customers comfort and safety first!
5/5

Soul of Tanzania team are a pleasure to work with.

For our Mt. Kilimanjaro hike, we got the best team. They took very good care of us and made sure we reached the peak.
Sam, especially, is a great leader and guide. He was with us every step of the way. He is the best guide we have come across in our travels.
For our Serenegti and Nrongoro safari, we got the most polite and knowledgable guide - Emmanuel. He did everything - driving, food, picnic spots, explaining landscapes and spotting animals. We got to see the big five!! Both the camps organised were really nice with warm an friendly staff.

Gorilla trekking in Rwanda was an incredible experience too. we were taken care of right from the time we got off from the plane till we got back to the airport. Seeing those Gorillas was an experience of lifetime! Our driver Mbabazi was a kind and soft spoken person who was always punctual and taking care of us.
Overall an amazing and memorable trip!!

Superb
5/5

We had the trip of a lifetime with beach holidays in Zanzibar at either end and an amazing 5 day safari in the middle covering Lake Manyara, the Serengeti and Ngorongoro crater. The trip was meticulously and efficiently organised by the very accommodating Marta and every detail was paid attention to so that it all went smoothly, as planned and without hitch. The safari itself exceeded our expectations; we saw all the big five and a lot more besides. The quality and extent of the sightings was down to the expertise and experience of our brilliantly knowledgeable guide Erasto. He was fantastic - we learnt a lot about the animals and the environment. He also catered for us incredibly well with the most amazing lunches in fantastic locations. We would highly recommend the company and the guide. The hotels on Safari were very special and well chosen and we experienced a truly exceptional holiday.

Fantastic experience , great guide and planning
5/5

A well planned, well executed 8 day experience, with a customized program across Serengeti, Lake Manyara, Tarangire and the Ngorongoro crater. The management team of the operator were very supportive and easily reachable both before and during the 8 day Safari. For a good safari the tour guide who looks after you and drives the 4x4 is essential, and Mr Wilson was simply superb at his job, with deep knowledge of animals, flora and fauna, the country, super kind to our family showing us an amazing experience while keeping us safe. I high recommend both the operator soul of Tanzania and Mr Wilson as an excellent guide.

An Incredible Safari Experience
5/5

An absolutely amazing and memorable safari experience, made even more special thanks to our guide Mr Wilson who was knowledgeable, pleasant, interesting, experienced and highly professional. In fact every aspect of the trip, from the planning to the airport pickups, meals, safari itinerary and safari cars, was top notch. I highly recommend Soul of Tanzania for anyone looking to explore the Serengeti region and if you get to have Mr Wilson as your guide, he is simply the best!

Wonderful Honeymoon with Soul of Tanzania
5/5

We are very glad that we booked our honeymoon in Tanzania via Soul of Tanzania.

Everything was perfectly organized – from the transfers and guided tour to the hotel bookings. Also, a big plus were the fast responses from Jose to all our enquiries via e-mail and flexibility regarding our change of plans and accommodation requests.

As for our safari tour, we were extremely lucky to find our favorite animals - the cheetah and the hippo - several times during the 5-day trip.
Our guide Emmanuel was knowledgeable and he explained a lot about the wildlife as well as the African culture, especially the Maasai way of living as we visited one of their villages. He made sure we are always well fed during our trips, was always willing to take pictures of us (and with us) and adjust the schedule according to our wishes. Really excellent guide!

The hotels were informed that we are on our honeymoon, so some of them prepared nice surprises.

We would like to thank everyone involved for making our most important trip a truly unforgettable experience. Asante sana!

We will be back someday.
