unique and amazing experience
Our trip was unique and incredible our trip and Soul of Tanzania played a major part in this. Organization was perfect from the beginning (thanks to the super-girl Mei-Ling! ) to the end of safari and even to the beach trip at Zanzibar.
We were a group of 4 women who dreamed to make a safari together: our choice of Soul of Tanzania could not be better! I worked hard to find them and my choice couldn't be better!!!
We had a super-man guide Hassan who was so nice, and also a super- guide and a super-driver who took care of all of us . The game drives were all amazing looking for all animals with patience, excitation, and emotions.
the lodges or camp were different and splendid either in Manyara Lake , Serengeti or Ngorongoro. How describe the massai visit? many emotions!
and Ngorongoro: it was the Eden garden!! The food was so good and fresh and the lunch was also a top moment! I travel a lot and I was really impressed by the organization and the quality of the whole trip... thank you so much...

A True Safari Experience
We took a private family tour carefully planned by our journey designer Luis G. where he's taken into account all our requests and exceptions. He's been pivotal in designing the right route, what to see, what to expect for a family of safari seekers at the "elementary" level. This is quite critical since what you see is assessed by what you expected in the first place. Moreover, if you are not part of a standard tour, be it a private or a group tour, chances are you'd be forgotten and ignored. However that was not the case for us...thanks to Luis G.
I strongly recommend for anyone who wishes a "boutique" safari experience to have a word with Luis prior to doing anything upfront.
He is the "one"...

Amazing!!!
There are not enough words to describe how incredible our trip was, and Soul of Tanzania played a major part in this. Everything was organized perfectly and there was not even 1 minute of delay or a shadow of problem.
Although our international flights issues (due to SAA strike), Soul of Tanzania staff was always available and kind to reacommodate our pick up and hotel reservation in Arusha.
Since the pick up at Kilimanjaro airport, when Hassan (super nice boy!!) took us to Arusha, to the meeting with Beatus giving us a very detailed itinerary explanation, everything was great!
Ally is the most incredible person we met in Tanzania, the best guide we could ask for to share this experience, such a nice and intelligent guy, always with a smile on his face. We loved everything! The game drives were all amazing, the hotels were superb, kuddos to &Beyond Manyara Lake staff, the best we have ever met! Serengeti and Manyara were the best for the animal sights, but Ngorongoro is just the most beautiful and incredible place!
At one point, during the game drives, my friend looked at me and said she was with her jaw hurting from smiling so much LOL. We did have an one of a kind experience with some many animal sights (all the big five and more!). The food was always on point and I am a vegetarian, so they had to go an extra mile here, but everything was always delicious.
Then we had the Zanzibar extension, what a place! We were received by Sully and he was our driver to the last day, always letting us know interesting facts and making us feel so comfortable. Rashid, another amazing guy! He came to the hotel to meet us, helped us choose the best tours and booked everything from the pick up to taking us back to the hotel. In all the tours we made, Rashid was always calling the driver/guide to make sure everything was well and to talk to me to ask how it was, it really made us feel cared and safe all the time. He is so professional, polite and kind!
We were all really impressed with the organization, the kindness and attention, there was literally nothing for us to worry about, besides wake up in time... It did exceed our expectations. I am an Africa lover, I have been in SA, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Mozambique, but this was the best trip, no doubt!
And it all started with Luis, from Soul of Tanzania giving us all the attention, help and support, as you did. When we were looking for an agency, we chose 2 to get in touch with, and at that point we decided to go with Soul of Tanzania solely because of how Luis attended us.
I really hope to come back and will for sure book Soul of Tanzania again as well as be the strongest advocate here in Brazil, to get my friends and family to do so as well.

Experience of a Lifetime
We toured Tarangire, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro Crater with Soul of Tanzania. Our guide, Saiid, was very knowledgable and helpful in naming the various animals we saw in the wild, and in providing more information about their habits. All our meals were top notch, and our guide paced the tour to our preferences.
We had been given excellent guidance from Mei Ling of Soul of Tanzania in planning our tour ahead of time, to ensure that the duration fit our desires and that the accommodations were to our liking. By staying in a tree top lodge in Tarangire, the Four Seasons in Serengeti, and a coffee plantation in Ngorongoro, we had a variety of lodging experiences.
Our only suggestion for improvement was that we felt an upgrade of the vehicle fleet could help the customer experience. While we realize that we were traveling along dirt roads with many ruts and holes, we felt that improved air suspension and more comfortable seats would make the rough ride more tolerable.
Overall, we were quite pleased with the experience and recommend Soul of Tanzania to anyone who wants a true safari experience.

unforgettable experience
We had a wonderful time in Tanzania. We are thankful for the great care and attention to detail in planning this vacation. The superior quality of service provided by Soul of Tanzania made our vacation most memorable. We loved our guide, Mr. Nixon. He was a pleasure to be with. He was very knowledgeable and professional. He made our trip worth while. Overall, we were very satisfied with our African safari vacation, thanks to Soul of Tanzania. We will surely recommend Soul of Tanzania to others for the outstanding service.

Best experience ever
We started our planning 6-8 months prior to our holiday. Since the beginning, the "trip planner" from Soul of Tanzania helped us with recommendations and guided us on how to create our safari. We gave some input and insisted to stay to some accommodations but also the planner suggested to spend 1 more day in Serengeti and to we give other location; It was perfect.
We were a group of 4 people and we stayed for 5 days in Safari. The guide, Patson, was very professional with us and during our entire safari, he explained to us a lot of information. Also during the entire safari, he gave everything to see all the animals on safari, even he had to drive 2 hours in the opposite direction of accommodation.
It was amazing and we definitely recommend Soul of Tanzania to all our friends.
P.S. The food was very good, we had also wine and different types of juices during our entire safari.

Safari in Tanzania with the SoT and its guide Pius exceeded our expectations.
SoT travel agency recommended us a friend. Safari exceeded our expectations. We chose the parks Tarangire-1 day, Lake Manyara 1 day, Serengeti 2 days, crater Ngoro Ngoro -1 day. We chose the cheapest loggias from the offered accommodation, but we didn't regret it. Accommodation and food was perfect. Our guide Pius was great. Despite our poor knowledge of English, we have always managed to communicate. Safari itself was excellent. We have been to Kenya twice but Tanzania has captivated us more. Thanks also Sandy, with whom I communicated when ordering our safari. She always answered my questions quickly and patiently. If you fly from Tanzania to Zanzibar, try to avoid Precision Air. What happened to us with this company was that although it carried passengers but not luggage, it arrived with a 24-hour delay. As we found out at the hotel, this happens often with this airline. We chose the airline Precision Air ourselves. She didn't pick her SoT. The overall service provided by SoT and the access of our driver and guide Pius was excellent. At least when eating one class higher than other agencies.

Unforgettable Adventure with Soul of Tanzania
Our group's experience with Soul of Tanzania far exceeded expectations, from beginning to end. The flexibility and promptness provided by their customer service team was exceptional, allowing us to plan and customize our trip that met all of our requests within our budget. Steve, our guide was extremely knowledgeable about Tanzania, the culture, the animals, and the history. He provided excellent guidance and service to our group, had a great sense of humor, and navigated the tough terrain in the Tarangire, Ngorogoro Crater, and Serengeti like a true pro! We saw so many incredible animals, ate delicious (hot!) food during our game drives, and enjoyed the beautiful Tanzania landscape. The transportation pickups and transfers to and within Zanzibar towards the latter half of our trip went perfectly as well. Steve and Soul of Tanzania made our trip truly unforgettable. Highly highly recommend Soul of Tanzania as the premier safari tour operator!
