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.

A lifetime journey!
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!

An unforgettable amazing experience.
5/5

We went in August of 2024 for a 9 days Private Safari with Soul of Tanzânia organized by attending Marta and executed by the guide Hibubu.

Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro, Serengeti Central and Serengeti North for the migration crossing of Mara River.

We saw an enormous quantity of wild animals and we loved everything - Safari, Guide Habibu, Baloon Safari, Lodges, Hot lunch and specially the river crossing.

Musts: Serengeti Central for a gigantic amount of wild animals, very close to the jeep. And for the Baloon Safari. Serengeti North, if in the right season - for watching the gnus Mara River crossings. We stayed 3 days at North and saw 6 crossings, including some with crocodiles runts. Amazing.
A special thanks for Habibu, our guide, who was incredibly.
Lodges: @Karibu camps @acacia_collections @escarpmentluxurylodge1 @serengetiballoonsafaris
We liked than all a lot! The internet in Acacia is not good. A small problem in our opinion. The location of Karibu Camp in the North Serengeti is ideal for the Mara river Crossing. Is really amazingly near the best spot to see the crossing.
We highly recommend this trip with Soul of Tanzânia.

Beyond my expectations
5/5

I had a great experience, which went beyond my wildest expectations.
The planning was precise and detailed, my travel designer was prompt and accurate in her answers.
During the adventure, my guide was perfect: careful, precise and punctual; I have really appreciated his services and attentions.
Landscapes and wildlife were astonishing and I felt like Karen Blixen!
What I saw, was so wonderful and I filled my eyes, mind and heart with beauty. Tarangire, Ngorongoro and(in particular) Serengeti gave me exactly what I expected.
The accommodations (different among each other) didn't disappoint me and everywhere I appreciated staff’s politeness.
I strongly suggest Soul of Tanzania for your adventure in Tanzania!

Fantastic Safari Experience with Soul of Tanzania
5/5

We just made 4 safari days with Soul of Tanzania, and everything was quite perfect! it was quite hard to do almost 800 km in 4 days on Serengueti "High Way" :-) but it's safari spirit and hakuna matata! ; 2 families, 8 people, 2 jeeps; our safari reference Filipa Pedrosa was always available with quick feedbacks and recommendations since the first contact and our guides/drivers Moses and Yona were 5 stars! Moses always trying to get the best location for animals view and always with a smile! Also Hot air ballon experience is a must!

Trip of a life time with Soul of Tanzania
5/5

My wife and myself went on a Safari in Tanzania in July with Soul of Tanzania for our Honeymoon .
We spent 5 nights in Tanzania and we visited Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro. It was an amazing experience, the best trip we have had in our life so far.
Soul of Tanzania is definitely an impressive and fully reliable company.
Sandy, our journey designer, has been very patient, helpful and kind: she replied quickly to our hundreds of emails and she provided very good advices on how to organize the trip and which parks to visit. Thank you Sandy.
Our guide in Tanzania was Dominic. Dominic is a great guide: he was very attentive to our needs and desires all days and all time, he provided us with a lot information regarding Tanzania, its parks and animals, and he made all his best to let us enjoy the trip - and no doubt he succeded!!
In addition, the jeep used for the safari was absolutely comfortable, the food provided for lunch during the safari was delicious and the accomodations we selected with the support of Sandy were amazing.
Thank you SoT for thia amazing experience!
If we will ever organize another safari again in the future, no doubt we will go with Soul of Tanzania!!!
