Amazing time in Tanzania !
We had an amazing time in Tanzania - 2 days Kilimanjaro trek, 10 days safari and 6 days Zanzibar leisure.
It was really "once in a lifetime" journey.
Everything was perfecttly organized and the only problems were caused by the changes done by airlines in their flights schedules.
Our driver and guide - Azaria - was great in every aspect of his activity. He was very friendly, helpful and has shown a great knowledge of the Tanzanian nature. We were very lucky he was with us because thanks to him we were able to see all possible attractions.
We have seen the Big Five, great migration with two large Mara River crossings (approx 10,000 animals), crocodile attack (see a photo) and lions hunting zebra as well as lions during reproduction, and many more...
The balloon flight was also fantastic. A few days on Zanzibar were great to have a rest after the intensive safari.

Great Experience!
I recently had the incredible opportunity to embark on a journey to Kenya and Tanzania, and the experience was nothing short of extraordinary. From the moment I set foot on this enchanting continent, I was captivated by its rich culture, diverse landscapes, and warm-hearted people.
One of the highlights of my trip was exploring the untamed wilderness on a safari. Witnessing majestic creatures like lions, elephants, and giraffes in their natural habitat left me in awe. The early morning game drives, guided by the best rangers, were an adventure filled with breathtaking encounters with wildlife.
Thank you!

Excellent
Jambo!
Can’t speak highly enough , the overall experience was out of this world, Jose from Soul of Tansania/ Spirit of Kenya organized everything down to the last detail.
The private tour began in Arusha and ended in Nairobi. Wonderful tours of wildlife included Tarangiri, Ngorongoro Crater, Serengeti Park and Masai Mara.
Beautiful accommodations, and great guides. Trip to the giraffe sanctuary and the Karen Blitzens house in Nairobi were bonuses.
Asante Sana!

East Africa Overland - 2 week Safari
September 2023
Lake Nakuru, Masai Mara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, Tarangire, Amboseli
Choosing a safari tour company can be daunting. However, choosing the right safari company can insure the best, once in a lifetime adventure! We chose Soul of Tanzania and they delivered exactly what we wanted! Jose, our Journey Designer was very professional and highly experienced! Jose listened to what we wanted, patiently answered our many questions then confidently guided us through the trip planning process.
One reason we chose Soul of Tanzania is because we wanted a local company who had “on the ground” expertise with the East Africa parks and camps. We also wanted the flexibility to build our own itinerary, choose our accommodations, and travel privately with a Safari driver/guide rather than in a group which Soul of Tanzania allowed us to do. All of our accommodations exceeded our expectations - the food, the comfortable beds, the service, and the ambiance of the camps.
One of the highlights of our trip was spending 8 days with Enock John, our expert driver/guide in Tanzania! Enock took such good care of us and seemed more like a longtime friend. After 15 years in the business, Enock is still so passionate about his love of animals and his job! He had an innate, sixth sense for finding animals and he knew every detail about every animal too. We would love to return someday and have Enock as our guide again!
Thank you Soul of Tanzania for delivering the trip of a lifetime which will live in our hearts and memory forever!

Excellent combination of safari and local exposure
We specially enjoyed our tour at Materuni Waterfall on the slopes of Kilimanjaro. The coffee tour experience with Michael and his friends is totally recommendable, and ask for Michael’s wife food and delicious wishes.

Unforgettable first safari with the best tour operator
We embarked on an unforgettable journey through the heart of Tanzania and Kenya, all expertly orchestrated by the exceptional team at Soul of Tanzania. From the moment we connected with Jose, our tour organizer, we knew we were in capable hands. Amidst a sea of quotes from various tour operators in the region, Jose's unparalleled dedication and attention to detail stood out effortlessly. Any question was answered promptly and professionally.
Our adventure commenced in the vibrant city of Arusha, where we were seamlessly transported from the airport to our first destination. Over the following days, we were treated to a mesmerizing exploration of the region's natural wonders. Our itinerary took us through the breathtaking landscapes of Tarangire, the awe-inspiring Ngorongoro Crater, and the boundless beauty of both Central and Northern Serengeti. The game drives were really awesome. We saw the big five and more. At the Mara River we experienced the wilderbeest crossing twice.
A pivotal highlight of our expedition was the enchanting balloon ride along the Mara River, an experience that transported us beyond the realms of ordinary reality. The seamless transition from Kogatende Airstrip to the Kenyan border was a testament to the meticulous planning and coordination by the Soul of Tanzania team. Effortlessly crossing the border with the guidance of a seasoned driver, we seamlessly ventured into the depths of the Maasai Mara for three remarkable days.
Each accommodation was handpicked with precision, offering not just comfort but a glimpse into the warm hospitality of the region. Our driver, Simon, not only expertly navigated the terrain but also became our knowledgeable guide, regaling us with captivating tales about the diverse wildlife and the surrounding landscapes. His thoughtful gesture of preparing delectable lunches, accompanied by a glass of fine wine, added an extra touch of luxury to our already extraordinary journey.
Our first safari adventure was a revelation, and the expertise of a specialist like Jose and the unwavering support of Simon in Tanzania and Nick in Kenya, ensured that it won't be our last. Soul of Tanzania not only curated an experience but crafted a lasting memory that will remain etched in our hearts. Thank you, Jose, Simon, Nick and everyone else involved in the team for the impeccable execution and for granting us an experience that transcended the boundaries of the ordinary.

Exceeded our once in a lifetime expectations
From the moment we connected with Soul of Tanzania we knew we were in good hands. Our journey designer Sandy was patient and helpful in creating our trip and finding the right accommodation. We were so spoilt by our accommodations throughout the trip, the hospitality was unforgettable.
Our safari guide, Salum, was phenomenal. Quiet and kind at first, but he proved to be knowledgeable and in the end “Mr Right Place, Right Time” who spoiled us with animal sightings.
We chose the Living with Lions safari, and it was perfect for our first time safari experience.

Fantastic experience – greatly exceeded expectations
The trip was absolutely amazing. Everything was well organised (including the hot lunches, rather than the packed box lunches) and Johnson, the driver and tour guide, was absolutely fantastic. Highly recommend!

Excellent service!
Our 30th wedding anniversary in Tanzania was an incredible experience. From the moment we contacted Soul of Tanzania, we got a quick and informative response. Marta was patient thru the whole process. Being in Tanzania for the first time we relied on her guidance. Thank you kindly to Marta for your recommendations and for your assistance with customizing our itinerary!
Special thanks to the Gosheni Dream team. Our guide Omari was simply amazing, his support thru out our 6 day in the mountains, was everything we needed to help us achieve our goal of successfully making it to the top of Kilimanjaro! Omari is very knowledgeable and supportive. Very impressed with his whole team, Thomas, Kasim and Omari the chef , all are very special, hard working people that left a long lasting impression on us. Omari is also so kind hearted and caring, he gave me his jacket and gloves, while I was struggling with the cold. From the bottom of our hearts thank you dream team for helping us achieve our dream and making our 30th anniversary so unforgettable. We are forever grateful to all of you, thank you for taking us safely to the roof of Africa!

Excellent safari
We were a group of 6 friends that had never been to Africa before.
When designing our safari we had very little idea of where to go. Sandy was extremely patient and very helpful when we were working out our trip. She always answered my many questions very quickly, no pressure just helpful advice.
Our driver/guide -James was brilliant- he really knew his stuff and was very accommodating of our needs. Thanks to James we saw all the animals and lots of animal behavior. We especially enjoyed watching the “kills” and the great migration of the wildebeest.
I have no hesitation in recommending Soul of Tanzania.
