Amazing safari support preparation with the BEST guide in Tanzania
My first Safari in Tanzania was 25 years ago with my parents and back then I promised to come back with my own family. I started to prepare this dream vacations in June 2019 being my main concern to select a professional Safari company with excellent guides that would really make the difference. After many customer reviews the choice of Soul of Tanzania with their local partner Gosheni Safaris Africa was indisputable. Since day 1 I really got a very professional support attending all our requirements and proposing several options. Due to COVID pandemic que whole programme was rescheduled 4 times but we never gave up and ultimately enjoyed a spectacular safaris together with several cultural visits to the local tribes during July 2021. On top of this all we had THE BEST safari guide in Tanzania , our Professor Erasto nicknamed because of all his knowledge and experience of the wildlife and all its inhabitants, from bid mammals to the little birds. Erasto really made all the difference in this fabulous experience ! So if you want to have THE BEST Safari in Tanzania definitely contact Soul of Tanzania/ Gosheni Safaris Africa and ask for Professor Erasto !

A fantastic experiennce
We are a family/group of 7 people that are just back from an fantastic safari experience organized by Soul of Tanzania. The journey was supposed to take place last year but due to the effects of covid we were allowed to postpone the journey for a year. We flew right into Serengeti National Park from Arusha and stayed for 9 days in three different tented camps. Two of the camps were located in central Serengeti and one camp in northern Serengeti. The latter to see the migration of Wildebeast and Zebras crossing Mara river. All the camps held really high standard with excellent service. The part that stood out was of course the all the animals we were fortunate to see in their natural environment but also the two fantastic guides that made our journey to something extra. They had made a specific plan for our stay but was also flexible to twist it when it was relevant. Their knowledge was amazing and as experienced guides they could give us the extra information that you normally don't get. Within two days they managed to locate all the "big five" but also all the other animals that you want to see.
Soul of Tanzania has been very professional and service minded all the way since our first contact more than a year ago. They were even able with short notice to help us make Covid PCR-tests inside Serengeti. This so that we could leave Tanzania without any delay in our travel schedule.
We can highly recommend Soul of Tanzania and we will use them again if we will go back. We will of course also ask for the same guides :)
Amazing experience!
We had an amazing trip with the best guide :) excellent communication.

Provided us with a safe and amazing safari to Tanzania
We just returned from a great trip to Tanzania that had been arranged for us by Soul of Tanzania. We had a wonderful itinerary that had been worked out for us with travel specialist Manel at Soul of Tanzania, actually last year when the trip had to be canceled due to COVID. We had an excellent, knowledgeable, and very personable guide named Azeria. Every day, he served us hot meals on a table with a tablecloth and real plates and silverware that he set up in the bush for us, which I felt was much safer than stopping at local cafes. He was great at spotting wildlife, so we were thrilled to see so many of the animals we had hoped to see and photograph. Azeria also was an excellent and safe driver and handled the bumpy roads as best as could be expected. As for Covid concerns, the staff in the lodges where we stayed wore masks, but most of the local people were not masked. We had a private safari with just the four of us, so we were not around other people that much. In fact, at the lodges, we were sometimes the only guests, and there were never more than a handful of people except at the Ngorongoro lodge. The lodges were ecstatic to have guests, and they rolled out the red carpet for us, greeting us cordially with cool drinks and song, and served excellent food for all meals taken at the lodge even though there were very few guests. We had many concerns about Covid testing requirement both going and returning, but it all worked out with help from Soul of Tanzania in getting us registered and taking us to the testing site. We are grateful for a safe and healthy return

A great experience with a great guide
What an incredible experience..
I was so hesitant to embark in this experience by myself for 5 days but my guide Hope made my journey unforgettable.. he made me feel like traveling with a buddy.. very friendly, very helpful and very knowledgeable with the best places to spot the animals (I was lucky to get to see all the big 5 in one day) and of course many many others.. Hope, my friend you deserve more than 5 stars and can’t thank you enough.
Everything was well planned by Sandy and Soul of Tanzania including my stays at the different camps (specially the Acacia central camp in Serengeti and the Karibu Lions Paw one on Ngorongoro were stunning).
Even when I later asked for a hot air balloon tour, it was easily added to my plan while I was at Serengeti(another great experience)..
I travelled a lot around the world but this was a very unique experience, and I really hope everyone get to do it at least once in a lifetime.

The perfect trip!
I cannot put into words how incredible my trip with Soul of Tanzania was! We had great communication from Sandy throughout the whole planning process. Even with a 1 year delay due to COVID, Sandy never missed a beat and all of our original plans worked out. Our guide, Zebi, was amazing. We learned so much from him and he knew all the best spots to see the animals. He was willing to accommodate anything we wanted to do and made sure we saw plenty of our favorite animals. His guidance and humor made the trip even better than we could've expected. We also really enjoyed our hot lunches with wine. That was one of the reasons we chose this company and they definitely delivered.

Highly recommended
So where do I begin... It was always one of dreams of mine to travel to Africa and oh boy it didn't disappoint. I can't begin to describe the beauty and grandeur unfolding right in front of our own eyes as we travelled from one natural wonder to the next. All this was made possible by guys at Soul of Tanzania. From the first email to them designing a custom tour for us, to the great care they treated our private group with, to selection of hotels and camps to stay, all of it was done in the most professional way possible. Special mention, without shadow of the doubt, goes to Albert, our most experienced and knowledgable guide and a super cool dude. Rarely have other people expanded my own body of knowledge in a such a powerful way over this short of a period. Kudos to you my man Albert! So, yes, I can highly recommend Soul of Tanzania, they will deliver.
Thank you Africa, thank you Tanzania!

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.

The Soul Of Tanzania delivers more than you have ever dreamed of!
Vincent was the perfect guide. When we said, "On Wednesday we would like to see a leopard," not only would Vincent deliver, but he would double the result by showing us a leopard on Tuesday as well. Vincent was the best game spotter, identifier of bird and beast, listener to our conversations to provide extras before we even knew we wanted them, safe driver and ostensible appreciator of our jokes, a combination of talents that makes Vincent invaluable to Soul of Tanzania.
Our accommodation suited our needs the whole way. The Outpost Lodge had a wonderful shower and mosquito net arrangement, Angata Ngorongoro had the buffalo eating mere feet away from us in the evening, Chaka Kiota Camp's walkie-talkie system should be part of all camp accommodation and Sanctuary Kichakani Serengeti Camp had the most magnificent setting. Chaka Kiota Camp had by far the most all-around value.
Tanzania is beautiful and we had the privilege of sharing it for eight days. We are physically back in our hometowns but our Soul (is) of Tanzania.
