My first Safari
My first safari was a unique and unforgettable experience. I thank Marta for the support she gave me to organize this wonderful trip ... We chose together day by day what to do and where to stay in the evening, everything was perfect! I thank our guide Tom for his patience in showing me as many animals as possible and for having complied with our every request! It certainly won't be the last safari. I highly recommend relying on Soul of Tanzania for your safari!

Very competent, helpful and kind
Wonderful experience started with the organisation of the itinerary by Louis who kindly fulfilled all our requests. Our 4-day Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro safari was made unforgettable by Ahmed, our guide who, with his preparation and kindness made us discover the secrets of these beautiful territories.

Very knowledge and caring about the clients - always with a very fast repply
What we liked the most was the safari, a fantastic experience. Our safari guide (Walter) was also very good, always trying to find animals, stopping when needed and always asking if we wanted to stay longer and worried. We did 2 days but I think 3 would be ideal. Then we also did Zanzibar to relax at the resort and some tours such as dolphins, stone town or swimming with the turtles, it was very good too.

Trip of a lifetime
We love the experience and the hotels. It was a dream trip lived intensely and that exceeded all our expectations. Of course, our guide, Ahmed, contributed a lot to make everything go so smoothly. Always very available, attentive, fun and constantly looking for the best time to find another animal ☺️

Trip of a lifetime!
We recently visited Kenya and Tanzania on a tour organized by Soul of Tanzania, and had an unforgettable experience. Our trip designer, Luis, was helpful and prompt in responding to our numerous emails after postponing our 2020 trip to this year (2022). Our trip included a safari in both the Maasai Mara and Serengeti, followed by a Stone Town and beach add-on in Zanzibar.
Each of our accommodations were comfortable, the food was great, and the staff were both welcoming and helpful. We are very happy with the recommendations provided by Soul of Tanzania.
We were able to see the 'Big 5' on safari, as we were hoping (along with SO many other animals). We loved having a private tour which meant that we could tailor each day to our needs and wants. We also loved the hot air balloon ride with Serengeti Balloon Safaris - this was a highlight of an already amazing trip.
Most importantly, we loved our time with our Tanzanian guide, Wilson. He was incredibly knowledgeable, kind, and accommodating - making sure that our trip was everything that we had hoped for. We are very grateful to have had such a wonderful guide!
We would highly recommend Soul of Tanzania to fellow travelers, and hope to one day book another visit to Africa.

Trip of a lifetime
I booked a safari with Soul of Tanzania. I was nervous at first but they had high ratings on the websites I checked. Everything was first class starting with my initial conversations with them trying to determine what Safari was right for me. Marta who was my main contact worked with me for a few weeks to plan the perfect safari for my budget. It did not disappoint. Everything was well organized and well executed.
My guide Micheal was awesome. We spent 4 days together and and toured a number of parks including Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater. The wildlife, scenery and meeting the indigenous people was one of the most amazing experiences of my life! Michael was a great guide and made sure we always had the best opportunity to see all the animals up close. A couple of times I thought the elephants and the lions would jump right into the car.
I compared other safari prices and for what I wanted this wan a great deal for the money I spent.

Absolutely fantastic experience!!!!!!!!
Honestly I hesitated for this trip for a while.. somehow we arranged it all with Soul of Tanzania and there we are- in the middle of nowhere surrounded with a wildlife of Africa! I must say I never felt so safe and sound - and it's all because of one man - our tour guide Wilson! I really feel urge to highlight the importance of picking up the best guide in such destination as it's Tanzania safari... We wish to thank you & Wilson all the best, keep providing such amazing experiences to many curious tourists as us, we can't be more grateful than this! It was a dream come true and we'll definitely keep recommending your services among our friends & family that are keen to visit your beautiful country!! To all animal lovers & adventure seekers- this is the place to go, this is the company to go with! Thank you Wilson & Soul of Tanzania- we keep you in our best memories!!!

Memorable Safari with an incredible guide Edwin
We are a family of 5 and just returned from a memorable safari in Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro, where we've spent 6 days.
Even before the start of the safari, the experience with the safari design was very good, and credits to Jose. Since my first contact, the answers were swift, always very clear and aiming to please our requests. I also found interesting the packages “comfort”, “exclusive”, etc … it’s easy to understand and reflect well the different options.
The Safari was an incredible experience, everything was according to our expectations and went very smooth. A big part due to Edwin, our guide. We’ve seen an unbelievable number of animals 30+ lions, 50+ elephants, 4 cheetahs, 3 leopards, hyenas, giraffes, hundreds of zebras, Thomson's gazelles, wildebeests, etc … … truly remarkable! We’ve found Edwin to be a very talented guide. His knowledge of all animals and Serengeti is absolutely amazing, sounding like a real “encyclopedia”. His relationship skills were fantastic, both with me and my wife, but specially with our kids as he created a friendly mood, that was precisely what we were looking for in our vacation. A big, big thank you to Edwin!
All the accommodations were great, but the ones in the middle of the savannah were amazing - Acacia Luxury Camp, Acacia Migration Camp and Nimali (this last one, superb). The food and beverages were very good and prepared with care. We found all the staff to be super friendly and made us always feel at home - thank you to all of them.
Summing up, it was an incredible experience for all our family and we will definitely recommend Soul of Tanzania.

Amazing experience with incredible guide and professional team
We spent 8 days on safari with Soul of Tanzania, visiting Ngorongoro Crater, Serengeti Central, Serengeti North (to see the Great wildebeest Migration) and Lake Manyara. The trip was honestly the experience of a lifetime, and I cannot recommend Soul of Tanzania, and especially our wonderful guide Eddy (Edward) enough.
The company itself was very professional, with very prompt responses to our questions when we were planning the trip early on and very flexible with our requests / changes to the itinerary. Both our pick up from the airport in Arusha and our pick-up from the hotel the next morning were prompt and on time. The company also stands out from a lot of the other ones we saw by providing a delicious warm lunch every day which really makes the whole experience feel a bit more comfortable.
The main thing that made our experience so special was our guide Eddy. He really went above and beyond. Not only did we see the Big 5 (and many many more), but we saw each of them at least twice and all of them from extremely close (like could count the spots on a leopard close). As soon as we told him one of our group was a keen photographer, he would make sure to show us each animal from multiple angles so we could get the perfect shot. He also wasn’t just ticking boxes by showing us each animal once we saw each one in multiple states - for example, we saw lions sleeping in a tree, a lion climbing up and down a tree, but then also saw them stalking prey, watched some lion cubs playing and even saw them mating. He was incredible at spotting animals, and we were the first jeep on location on numerous occasions. He was also so knowledgeable about all the animals (and we really grilled him on even the obscure bird species) - he knew everything about the animals’ habits, behaviour, you name it. Patience was another of his virtues that proved times and times again very critical - we would wait as long as we wanted to see aniamls in actions. I think how great a guide he is and how committed he is to making the experience truly once in a lifetime is best captured by our trip to Serengeti north to try and see the wildebeest and zebra migration across the Mara river. We were expecting to maybe see them cross once. Eddy managed to find not one, not two but three groups crossing, with each group more spectacular than the next. Even the camp staff where we were staying couldn’t believe he’d managed to find three groups for us to observe in one day! Honestly cannot recommend him enough! Thank you Eddy for making the trip so special - ahsante sana, rafiki!
One thing we would recomment -- skip lake Manyara and spend as much time as you can in central Serengeti. We found lake Manyara a bit underwhelming with very little to see, whereas our 4 days in Serengeti would gladly be extended.
