Safari in Tanzania; when you live it is when you really know and appreciate what it is !!!
When my wife and I decided to go on a safari in Tanzania, we searched through networks about different companies. Soul of Tanzania always appeared with excellent comments and ratings from its customers. We decided on them and without a doubt we were fully successful. It was fantastic that before starting the safari, Luis contacted us and sent us an infinity of emails and a form with all kinds of details so that our experience was exactly as we wanted it. He gave us all kinds of options. Flights, transfers, hotels, places to visit, food allergies, special needs, and everything adapted to our budget. He has been a very kind and effective person. Until the last day he was helping and working so that our experience was complete. He treated us very kindly. No surprises
We start our tour in Arusha as planned with Vincent; A great professional with more than 12 years of experience and recognized as one of the best in the industry. Knowing habits and habits of animals and places where they tend to be. With the we saw the BIG FIVE.
We requested a guide who spoke Spanish to focus only on what we were interested in. What a pleasant surprise we take with Vincent. Affable and very willing. His good level of Spanish allowed us to know all the little details perfectly. With it the four days of Safari were short in which we were visiting Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro. We are also very satisfied with the chosen hotels and the treatment they gave us. Above our expectations. They were very attentive and took into account my wife's food allergies. Since you leave the vehicle until you leave the hotel, everything is attention.
Tanzania is a place worth visiting. But to make a safari with true professionals is spectacular. You only know what it is when you do it. Our last words, again go to our guide Vincent, whom we highly recommend for his professionalism and personal interest in his clients. Especially with those who have a more limited level of English and we are Spanish speaking.

Excellent safari company! Highly recommended.
During 4 days of our safari we visited Lake Manyara, Serengeti National Park, and Ngorongoro Crater. Being a safari guide for 12 years, our guide James knew exactly where to find all the animals and birds and told us a lot about their habits. Moreover, he is an excellent driver and an extremely friendly person!
Accommodation during the trip exceeded all our expectations! Especially the Tortillis Camp in Serengeti and Lake Manyara Wildlife safari camp. The tents were amazing, a territory was clean, neat, and green, and the hotel staff was just wonderful: extremely nice and helpful, they pay a very close attention to each and every guest. Where else during dinner you get asked if you want someone to open up outside windows of your tent in the morning so that you can watch the sunrise?
As for food, it was excellent as well. Even during the safari we had warm meals, wine, and dessert. I am vegetarian and have troubles tolerating lactose, which was well noted by cooks everywhere we stayed :)
All in all, we loved the trip and can absolutely recommend Soul of Tanzania!
It is a company that is living up to its name and organizes safaris with soul! We felt that from the very first email we have received from them, and feeling it now when remembering every small detail that was taken good care of!

Fantastic safari and an experience to remember for life
We had a 4 day safari to Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro crater and the Serengeti plains.
The planning was made very simple with a lot of good suggestions by Helena. All accommodations were great, especially the tents in Lake Manyara Tortilis Camp and Manyara Wildlife Safari Camp. Helena was also helpful organising the transfer to and from our arrival and departure points.
Our guide and driver, James, was fantastic. He had a lot of experience and knew exactly how to find all the animals. Thanks to him we were able to see the "big 5".
The hot lunches were tasty and were customised to our needs.
I would highly recommend Soul of Tanzania!

Amazing 6 days safari
What an incredible life experience thanks to Soul of Tanzania. I had contacted several other safari companies but Soul of Tanzania immediately stood out because of extremely professional and friendly Helena who designed the itinerary and have answered to all my questions. We had the best guide we could ever imagine - Ahamed was so professional, knowledgeable, charming. and he just went above and beyond to ensure that we had an unforgettable safari experience!
I highly recommend this brilliant company!

Unforgettable experience
Soul Of Tanzania has confirmed the excellent reviews on the internet sites proving to be a tour operator ready to satisfy my every desire since the planning of the trip that included both safari and sea stay in Zanzibar. They always responded to my emails promptly. I discovered with great pleasure that our guide, Daniel, speaks perfect Italian that made the safari experience even more engaging. It has proved to be an exceptional guide, very prepared on the behavior of the animals and an excellent knowledge of the birds also, has a glance out of the ordinary. The vehicle we used for the safari has proven safe and reliable with all the comforts. I also confirm the winning choice to serve hot meals for lunch instead of packed lunches. Thanks to Soul Of Tanzania I lived with my wife an unforgettable experience without any unexpected events

Extrordinary and unforgettable experience
We had a wonderful and unforgettable safari!
We spent a lot of time looking for the right company and it was one of the best decisions we made when we booked our safari experience with Soul of Tanzania.
Our guide, Pius, was very helpful and experienced, he has tremendous knowledge of animals and answering our questions with patience.
Our 7 days safari to Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro conservation Area, South Serengeti, Central Serengeti was amazing experience for us. Pius is a very good driver which is important on the Africa bumpy road and he had good relationships with other guides which is very helpful for us to get information for finding the animals.
During our journey we were offered hot lunches with cold wine. Overall, we would highly recommend Soul of Tanzania and especially Pius as a tour guide.
Also we would like to thank their Journey Desiner Lious, Supvisor Ben and whole team for helping us to get an unforgettable trip in Africa.

Amazing and unforgetable.
I booked this as a solo tour and was immediately impressed by my guide, Daniel from Donak Safaris, who also quickly became my friend. He went above and beyond to ensure that I had the best experience I could have and I saw some amazing things. I asked over 1,000 questions and he answered each one with enthusiasm just as excited to tell me the answer as I was to hear it. Bonus, an onboard fridge full of cold beer mixed with large animals... best experience anyone could imagine.
Like many people, I had lots of questions and jitters about going away. Through email before leaving all of my questions and concerns were answered almost instantly (allow for time difference). Soul of Tanzania did an amazing job booking me the best accommodations I could have imagined.
Bonus, eating a hot lunch with a bottle of wine 10 feet away from a pond of bathing hippos.

Best safari experience ever!
I would highly recommend Soul of Tanzania for safari tour. It was one of the best and most interesting experiences of my life. We went to 4-day safari tour with the guide name Aman. He was very polite, with a lot of knowledge about animals and national parks that we have visited. Every day we had cooked meal, very tasty. We went to Serengeti, Ngorogoro park and crater and Lake Manyara. We have seen a lot of animal in there natural environment and natural behavior, which is the best you can do. There are no words which can describe our experience.

Incredible Seven Day Safari
The name of the company itself says much. The 'soul' of Tanzania was definitely revealed to us on our incredible seven day safari through its amazing variety of wildlife, beautiful people, delicious food and outstanding service. It all began with Helena, whom I contacted asking for an itinerary and quote. I had contacted several other safari companies but Soul of Tanzania immediately stood out because of Helena. Her replies were so warm and friendly and welcoming. She replied promptly to every email, answered all my million questions and put together a fantastic itinerary for my husband and me. And tailored it to fit our budget as well. Our guide Emmanuel was just excellent! So knowledgeable, friendly and always happy. He knew every bird and animal! We had lovely, lengthy conversations about every topic under the sun and learnt so much about each other's lives and cultures. Our itinerary included Tarangire National Park, Lake Manyara, Lade Ndutu (Southern Serengeti), Central Serengeti and Ngorongoro Conservation Area and Crater. All the lodges we stayed at were perfect in every way - food, rooms, service, surroundings. Our safari drives were amazing and we saw a mind boggling number of animals and birds! We were truly in wildlife paradise. We were pretty much the only people who had a 'hot lunch' every day of the safari while most tour companies only provided a boxed lunch to their guests. Emanuel would spread out the pretty Masai style table cloth and lay out all the dishes. There's usually wine provided at every lunch, but we chose beer (all included). Having a cold beer with lunch on a hot safari day is the absolute best! Our safari vehicle was always kept clean by Emanuel and it was well stocked with cold water (thanks to the mini fridge), juices and beer. There was a charging point to charge our cameras and phones too. In addition to the great service this company already provided, Helena went above and beyond to provide us with after-safari service as well! Our camera got damaged as I accidentally bumped the lens against the side of the car when our vehicle hit a ditch during a game drive. I am now in the process of submitting a claim to our insurance company and I had to get a letter about the incident. Helena once again rose to the occasion and promptly sent me a well drafted letter all within a a few hours of sending my request! Now that's what I call outstanding customer service!
All in all, we loved our experience and we will forever cherish all the beautiful memories we made in this beautiful country. Asante Sana Soul of Tanzania!
