Amazing Safari experience
We (couple 34 & 36) decided rather on short notice to go for a safari trip in October and we got in touch with a few operators over e-mail. What stood out to us was the full transparency on costing with Soul of Tanzania. The trip was really customizable and we were able to fine-tune the the trip perfectly within our budget (for example mixing lodges of different price buckets), adding an inland flight and customizing the initial itinerary (route!). We were in touch with Sandy who was always responding in a timely manner and gave us plenty of choices of accommodations to work with but was also fine with us requesting accommodations that were not initially presented to us.
(Just in contrast to this: we were a quite far planning stage with another operator but they kept insisting on a certain route and certain lodges without taking our preferences into account. Also the costing was very intransparent to us. Hence our final choice was Soul Of Tanzania.)
Our guide Fuhanael was extremely knowledgeable and patient. Halfway through the trip we got much more closer and at the end of the trip we were really sad to part ways with him. He has such a kind, calm and soothing nature around him. He spotted all the animals for us and we did manage to see the big 5 during our trip! Our inside joke became that next time we need to see his favorite animal.. a Caracal Cat. We were also happy with the amount of game driving time (a lot!) , amount of breaks etc.
We really enjoyed the hot lunches and do think that is a real plus of Soul of Tanzania. Because some of the cold packed lunches that the lodges give out are really not very enjoyable. Unfortunately, some lodges do not pack the warm lunches due to their own policies. (We got warm lunches 4 out of 6 times.)
We can't think of anything negative concerning the organization by SoT. Surely, there are things we may do differently on our next Safari but that comes down to personal preferences.
We can fully recommend SoT for a Safari in Tanzania.

Great safari, thanks to our fantastic guide!
We did a 5-day safari in Tanzania with Soul of Tanzania, following 3 days in Kenya with Spirit of Kenya. Tanzania was the highlight, thanks mostly to our outstanding guide Erasto Ngowi. We can't recommend Erasto highly enough. First off, he made sure that we saw loads of wildlife. But beyond that, he gave us lots of interesting and valuable information about the animals, the ecology and the area we were seeing, combining both academic knowledge and many years of practical experience. His love of and commitment to his work comes through clearly. He helped ensure we had great photos, even taking many "National Geographic" close ups for us himself through binoculars. Throughout our trip, he communicated very well - explaining plans, and adapting them to our needs and requests, and checking in regularly to see how we were doing. During long days and hours of driving, he was always pleasant and positive. He goes above and beyond, providing silverware, wine and other accoutrements for lovely picnics, and he's a great driver. We also really liked and recommend the lodges we stayed in - the tranquil Acacia Seronera Luxury Camp inside Serengeti National Park, and the beautiful Serena Safari Lodge set on the edge of Ngorongoro Crater. We really loved everything about our time in Tanzania, and recommend the safari with Unlimited Experience. Ask for Erasto as your guide to ensure a fantastic trip!

Magical Tanzania with Wilson
Our first safari experience, with our incredible guide Wilson, will be unforgettable on so many levels:
He made us discover the nature, as well as the history and geography of Tanzania. His approach was stimulating and full of pedagogy.
The safari went extremely well, far beyond our expectations.
Every single day, we’ve been able to observe wild life, learn more about the animals way of life.
Our guide also had an incredible ability to spot all kinds of animals from great distance. Many times, we were the first ones spotting and observing them.
Even though guides have a radio to communicate between each other, Wilson didn’t even rely on it and was able to find animals thanks to his experience and acute sense of observation. That way, we were often by our own to enjoy the magical moment and immortalize them on camera.
The cherry on the cake happened on the last day, when he spotted a black rhino from one mile away!! We were thus among the lucky people that have been able to see this endangered animal during a safari.
We’ve learnt so much about wild life, Tanzania’s old and recent history/geography / geology…don’t go to Wikipedia, ask our guide Wilson! He’s an information gold mine! He is passionate about his job, and is eager to share his knowledge, as well as to always acquire more.
Last but not least, at the end of the trip, the experience was so wonderful we felt that Wilson was a part of our family.
We hope our roads will cross again, and we miss him already! It was a huge pleasure meeting him.
Thank you for all the memories, thank you for achieving this childhood dream. I hope we’ll see you again, Inchallah!

Extremely professional and high quality operator
I booked a 5-day safari for my mom and me (two women). We’re so thrilled with our experience. From correspondence with Marta to the safari with our guide Enock, everyone from Soul of Tanzania is nothing but professional. Enock is an expert in everything from botany and zoology to geography and ecology in the region. A serious genius! He’s very organized and we felt incredibly safe in his hands. More importantly, he made us feel at home immediately and we’re evening taking home a bit of Swahili. He’s such a peaceful person and was key to our wonderful experience.
We chose the “luxury” accommodation package and the service across the board was exceptional. Everyone is so kind and our move from hotel to hotel was seamless. We also appreciate everyone accommodating our vegan diets. By booking with Soul of Tanzania, you don’t have to think about anything but packing your bags.
We will definitely be returning to Tanzania and booking our safaris with Enock and Soul of Tanzania. Asante sana!

Amazing Experience in Tanzania
My wife and I scheduled part of our Honeymoon doing Safari in Tanzania and we chose Soul of Tanzania on the recommendation of a friend. The contact with Marta was great, she clarified all our doubts during the planning of the trip (also facilitated by her speaking Portuguese!). During our safari days we were driven by guide Enock and he was amazing! He went to great lengths to let us see everything we wanted to and he's a super interested and curious guy, which added a lot of information to our experience, making it complete. He guided us since the first minute, asking us to say about what we were thinking of the experience and if something should be different, showing himself to be very concerned about making our moment special. Our experience was fantastic and we know that a big part of this was thanks to Soul of Tanzania and, mainly, Enock! Thank you all and see you next time!

Wonderful Honeymoon with Soul of Tanzania
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.

An Incredible Safari Experience
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!

Fantastic experience , great guide and planning
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.

Superb
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.
