Excellent service!!
Was great! Everything was accomplished. The Landrover are in excellent conditions. The guides are great. And the food is incredible, the best food of all the tours. The camps were beautiful and complete. We enjoy an excellent trip and will repeat it. Thank you very much Soul of Tanzania!!
Soul of Tanzania is the Best!
We had the opportunity to take a tour of northern Tanzania with Soul of Tanzania. This review will be in two parts; the first is the company, the second is the driver. This is for a party of 2 in July 2017. We spent eight days on Safari. The first day was in Tarangire. The next two days were in central Serengeti. We then spent two days in northern Serengeti, followed by a day in Ngorongoro crater.
Company: we did an extensive amount of research for our Safari. Soul of Tanzania was the first company to respond to our request, and all subsequent emails were also replied to promptly. We felt the pricing was fair. The vehicle was in excellent condition, the air conditioning worked perfectly, and it was equipped with a refrigerator to keep bottled water cold. There is a charging strip to charge your batteries, cameras, etc. We were served hot delicious lunches every day in picturesque locations. They tailor-made our itinerary, and we loved every minute of it. The company did provide us with a good list of things to bring on safari. One thing we would recommend is a pair of binoculars for each person. The driver is equipped with a pair which you can borrow, but we strongly recommend to bring your own. We each had our own pair and we used them constantly. This company was excellent, and we received five star service.
Driver: we had the pleasure of having Zamo as our driver. He is personable, knowledgeable, and professional. He always honored our requests. We enjoyed getting to know him in the week we spent with him. He was always punctual and flexible with what we wanted to do. He was entertaining and informative at the same time. You can tell he has passion for what he does, and he is excellent at it. We only have positive things to say about Zamo. His English is excellent, and he taught us several words and phrases in Swahili.
Conclusion: we would highly recommend Soul of Tanzania for your Safari, and we also highly recommend requesting Zamo as your driver.

Excellent tour, 5star operator....
We have just finished our 8 day safari in Tanzania. It was a long proceed to find the right tour operator bofere the trip and we chose Soul of Tanzania, a relativly young and small company, but with an experienced staff.
We had the feel well before the start that we made the right choice as the company gave perfect support in the planning process.
The safari itself exeeded all of our expectations. Everything - inc all major and minor parts - went well. Our guide - Herman - is by far the best ever, I met - knows all places in Tarangirie, Ngorongoro or Serengeti to find the animals in action.
The best thing: when you are on safari, normally you have a box-lunch with usual stuff like hard-boiled egg, sandwich, cream cheese, some fruit juice, crackers etc.
Soul of Tanzania provides warm lunch (!!!) with a bottle of wine. It was an amaizing experience!!
We are a family of 4, with two kids (boy 14, girl 12). It was a life time experince for them as well.

5***** Safari!!
We've just arrived from the most amazing holidays ever: our first safari!!!
We prepared our game drives and accommodation with Soul of Tanzania that went far and beyond to meet our expectations. In our own jeep (with just me and my husband) and with a great guide - thank you Rahim! - we were able to see the big five and so many more!
Tarangire was overwhelming, Ngorongoro left us in awe and the Serengeti... well... there are no words to express how excited we were! Food was good (Soul of Tanzania prepared hot meals for us. All other tourists had packed sandwiches!) and the lodges we chose were fine. I must highlight the Kubu Kubu Tented Lodge, inside the Serengeti park. Having a glass of champagne on the middle of the park, while the hyenas were walking around and a mongoose just passed under our room was an unforgettable experience!!
In the end, I and my husband left Tanzania with just one thought in our minds: to return ASAP!

Once in a life time experience!!!!
Where do I start?!?! Soul of Tanzania team was extremely patient and resourceful in helping us plan our route, they booked all our stays, provided all transportation, booked our balloon safari, and even our domestic flights to/from Zanzibar! The only thing we had to do was book our international flight, that was it! Once we stepped foot in Kilimanjaro everything was handled and we never had to worry about a thing. We initially began planning our safari with Soul ~ 1yr before arrival and interacted with about every staff member and experienced the same high standard of customer service across the board.
Our guide Ben was simply outstanding to say the least! He was very knowledgeable and extremely passionate about the wildlife. It was 5 of us friends traveling together and because Ben had such a great sense of humor and personality, that as days progressed he became a friend and not just our tour guide, it felt like 6 friends on vacation now not 5. Our only regret is not spending more time on safari. Oh, and if you’re a coffee lover Ben makes the BEST coffee in Tanzania! Thank you, Ben and the team, at Soul of Tanzania for all the wonderful memories!!!

Spectacular Soul of Tanzania adventure
For years I had dreamed of experiencing a safari in Tanzania. Never in my wildest dreams, however, did I ever imagine what an incredible experience it would turn out to be!
As soon as I booked with Soul of Tanzania, I knew I had chosen the best company out there! All emails and the many questions I had were always promptly answered by Iris, Miguel, Francis or Rachel. The vehicles were top of the line very well maintained, clean and comfortable. Thanks to Ben, who was our fantastic guide, we always started each morning with spotless windows (which provided excellent viewing throughout the day) and a full refrigerator on board. Ben served fabulous lunches...not only hot and delicious, but served using real plates, silverware, and goblets for the chilled wine no matter where our lunch spot may be. (Yes, you heard that right...we enjoyed chilled wine in silver goblets!) We were often the envy of many who passed by our table. It was an unbelievable experience.
Now, let's talk a little more about our man Ben! He was one of the most amazing parts of our entire trip. He blended into our group like family. He never failed to go the extra mile for us. He was funny, enthusiastic, informative, and made the most amazing coffee imaginable. Even those in our party who were not coffee drinkers suddenly could not get enough of Ben's creation! He not only made sure we had the best views when we came across animals, but he was also very willing to share information and sightings with others guides and their clients as we passed along the way.
I truly can't imagine having a more spectacular Tanzanian adventure than the one I experienced with Soul of Tanzania. It was just perfect. So if you are searching for a company that will provide an unforgettable experience, look no further. Soul of Tanzania is the company for you!
6-day Safari Tour - Great experience
We booked a 6-day tour with Soul of Tanzania. The best part of the Safari was the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater.
Everything was fine. The booking of the safari was without problems. Nice correspondence with the guys in Portugal. They prepared an itinerary including all our wishes. There were also no problems with the payment; we only paid 50 % in advanced and paid the rest in Arusha.
Our driver picked us up from the airport on time and took us to our hotel in Arusha. Two days later the Safari began, after the briefing of Mr. Benedict in Arusha.
For the Safari tour the company provided unlimited water and two bottles of wine. Thank you.
Our guide and driver was Ally. A young and funny guy, who is in business for more than 7-10 years (we don’t remember). He knew ALL animals (especially birds) by their regular and Latin name. He also showed us e.g. the birds and small animals (e.g. hyrax) in his animal book, so we knew, that everything he said, was right

A great first safari experience
Soul of Tanzania was the best choice for our safari, no question. The staff is attentive to every detail and the customer service is the best I've seen from a travel company. The planning and execution of our trip was perfect. There are so many tour companies in Tanzania but I highly recommend SOT as it stands far apart from the rest.
