Best safari company possible!!
My husband and I went on a 13-day safari with Soul of Tanzania in June 2019 and I cannot recommend them highly enough! I am from Australia and initially contacted local companies about our planned itinerary. However, after they all said they needed to consult “their providers” I decided to contact Tanzanian safari companies directly instead. From the first email, Luis from Soul of Tanzania was responsive, thorough and extremely helpful in planning the best possible safari experience for our timeframe and budget.
The quote from Soul of Tanzania was broken down into specific costs, providing us with numerous options for accommodation and activities at each location so we could customise our safari to completely suit us. We worked with Luis over the next few weeks to finalise our once in a lifetime trip. We decided to choose Soul of Tanzania for our safari because of Luis’s exceptional customer service – it was far superior than any other safari company I had contacted.
Even though I had an enormous amount of confidence in Soul of Tanzania based on their online reviews and my interactions with Luis, I was nervous about sending such a significant amount of money overseas. However, my confidence was definitely not misplaced and our safari was PERFECT from the moment we were greeted at the airport by our guide Ahmed – right up until our sad departure from Tanzania.
During our planning, we provided Luis with numerous details about ourselves which helped him suggest the best possible itinerary, but also helped Luis match us with the best possible guide – and Ahmed was definitely our perfect guide! Ahmed is an extremely knowledgeable and friendly guide, with a passion for both wildlife and birds, a fantastic sense of humour and he is dedicated to ensuring his guests have the most amazing experience possible.
Our safari took us to Tarangire National Park, Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro Crater, Central Serengeti, Western Serengeti and Arusha National Park. Ahmed was with us for the entire trip and his exceptional spotting skills meant we saw some amazing sights, including over 150 species of birds and over 40 species of mammals and other wildlife. Ahmed was extremely patient with us when we wanted to take additional photos, and always tried to position us so we had the best lighting to get the best shot possible – resulting in some amazing photos to put on our wall.
The vehicle was in excellent condition and Ahmed kept it clean at all times, and our hot lunches were consistently delicious, with Ahmed setting up in the perfect picnic spot everyday with a cold glass of wine and a hot tea or coffee. Very indulgent when you are in such picturesque and remote areas.
We cannot be more grateful to Ahmed, Luis and Soul of Tanzania for making our Tanzanian safari better than we ever imagined it could be! Soul of Tanzania is a small company who customises their trips to suit each guest and provides the best service you could possibly ask for. For anyone planning a trip to Africa (Soul of Tanzania operate in countries other than Tanzania), make sure you contact Soul of Tanzania!

Awesome experience!
I have always dreamed of visiting Africa and seeing the animals on safari. Booking our safari thru Soul of Tanzania was the best decision! Helena was our planner and was super helpful and patient with our many, many questions and emails during planning and everyone was very professional. The trucks and facilities were great and our private driver, Emmanuel, was fantastic! He has a vast knowledge of the animals and the parks, and went out of his way to make sure we saw everything. Tarangire is a must-visit on this once in a lifetime trip!

Amazing Experience- Soulmates for Life
Soul of Tanzania and our guide Solomon, have left us with a life changing experience, from the time we booked until we had to say our goodbyes. From the first moment we met, it was obvious Solomon’s goal was to exceed expectations in everything we did and saw. So accommodating, so experienced, so much fun. We saw the Big 5 animals, the Great Migration on our “Just Married” trip and so much more. Hakuna Matada !!! We could not have asked for a better trip, booking company and guide - thank you all.

The Perfect Safari
My wife and I went on a private safari tour with Soul of Tanzania, and we could not have been more pleased with the experience.
We visited Tanzania in May for a friend’s wedding in Dar Es Salaam, and though we were a little worried about the rainy season, we decided to try to do a three day Safari before the wedding. After contacting about eight Safari companies on SafariBooking.com, I ultimately chose Soul of Tanzania because of their great reviews, competitive pricing, professional response, and honest feedback on what we could do in the time we had available.
The experience was fantastic, with perfect weather, beautiful panoramic views, and incredible animal sightseeing. Our tour guide, Daniel, spoke seven different languages and gave us great insight on the parks as well as Tanzanian culture and society. One of the highlights was the conversations with Daniel as we drove between the parks. He was also an expert at knowing all the right spots to find wildlife.
There’s a lot of Safari tour guide companies out there, but to make things simple, I’d say just choose this one and ask for Daniel Mkojera to be your guide.

High-end memorable safari from Nairobi to Kilimanjaro
The company organized a wonderful trip for us; all tailored for our needs and according to the dates that we were available. Sandy, our travel designer was always willing to help, providing the requested information on a timely manner.
Specially we would like to highlight the extraordinary work from our guide in Tanzania, Sadat.
He has been an extraordinary guide to us, very knowledgeable of the field and the wildlife all together. He has been very caring and patient during the entire trip, always willing to help and to make the most of our trip in terms of tracking animals; he has also been very diligent in driving safely even in the rough conditions of the roads; respectful, kind and a very warm person that has won our affection even after the trip is over, remembering him and our trip very dearly.

Fantastic!!!!
We did our honeymoon on this Zanzibar extension safari. From the beginning we felt very welcome. Our guide (Vincent) was spectacular, always looking for the best places to see the animals in action. He was always in a very good mood and explained everything.
The food is great! the parks are already prepared to welcome people at meals.
I strongly advise!

Best Safari ever !
From Zanzibar you can reach Arusha with a one-hour flight. We chose Precision Air and were very satisfied. We were met at the airport and taken to the coffeee lodge where we spent the first night. The next morning we met our guide Nico at the lodge, who greeted us warmly and made our way to Lake Manyara National Park. The next day we continued into the Serengeti and finally on the third day to Ngorogoro Crater. Since we are safari enthusiasts and live in South Africa, we have already made more than 30 safaris. Both in Botswana, Namibia, South Africa Zambia and Kenya. Tanzania is something very special! The landscapes are indescribable and the wildlife is unique !! Our guide Nico was the best guide we have ever had. In addition to his knowledge of land, wildlife and people, he drives extremely safe (distance was about 1,300 km) and prudent, so that we have always felt safe. Even yesterday, when the road conditions were not describable after several days of rain on the crater, we arrived in time and safely back in Arusha. He speaks very clear English, so that you understand him very well and always has a smile on his face. We would want to go back with him at any time !!! The organization of all accommodations was great, the safari feeling unique. I highly recommend Soul of Tanzania. A safari here has its price but I agree with the previous speaker, it is worth every dollar! We will be back !!!
