Amazing. Recommended with no reservation !!!!
Recently we went on a Safari trip organized by Soul of Tanzania. An amazing experience. All well organized, care-free and made very memorable for us by the representatives of the Soul of Tanzania. From the initial communication to arrange for our journey, to the lodges, parks that they suggested to us, all were amazing and very well- exceeded expectations.
Our guide Dominik Meague was a wonderful guide, very knowledgeable of the area which made our experience so amazing.
We stayed at lodges and tented camps which were absolutely beautiful, amazing scenery of Tanzanian parks and landscape and with very friendly staff

Fantastic Safari experience
My husband and I went for our first Safari tour in February. We chose Soul of Tanzania as our tour organizer, which we can only recommend. Everything was from arrival to departure as or above expectations on the tour. The private car was in good condition. Excellent food during the drives, very nice lodges with spectacular views and very friendly personal and not least the company of our driver Roger Msengi. We had been told upfront that he was especially knowledgably about birds which really came to prove itself on the tour. Also prior to the tour, Soul of Tanzania responded immediately on our request and questions. Overall a perfect service and we will definitely recommend for others to use Soul of Tanzania as their tour organizer

Memorable experience
It was a memorable experience, they made this trip a dream come true! Everything went perfect according to the plan, and we did notice the difference of services between Soul of Tanzania and other conpanies. What they offer Is wonderful! We don’t regret our decision to do this tour with Soul of Tanzania. The price is worth it!
Solo, our guide is an exceptional person. We enjoyed his company a lot, and he has a special sense for animals, so we got to see a lot of them. He’s also a very good driver! We couldn’t ask for a better guide, and we feel very lucky to have had him with us. This experience was beyond our expectations.

Trip of a Lifetime!
My dad and I took a trip with Soul of Tanzania in July 2018 for my 40th Birthday. After much research of safari companies (it is overwhelming!) I chose Soul of Tanzania as I felt booking with a Tanzania-based company was important and I felt there would be a more personal connection to Soul. I knew I made the right choice from the beginning! The sales time, Miguel C (he is wonderful!) and Christina F were amazingly responsive and helpful, answering my initial 20+ emails prior to booking. I appreciated that Soul could work with any budget and book with any accommodation in the country, so that I could truly personalize and "splurge" on a smaller, more intimate luxury camp in the Serengeti while starting off with nicer budget lodges in Tarangire. Back in December 2017 I had originally requested Ben to be our guide, however he had since been promoted to Operations Manager (congrats Ben!) by the time we took our safari. However, Deo, who was hired to replace Ben was amazing with his 22 years of experience, internal GPS, bionic eyes, quick and witty sense of humor, deep SOULful voice, and signature "pose" for photos :) Not only did we see the Big 5, we saw the Migration herds, a Black mamba snake and Deo pointed out when we saw a "baby, 200 year-old" Baobab tree in Tarangire that we probably would not have appreciated otherwise. Deo became a friend and we enjoyed spending time with him whenever we could! There were small, but nice touches of hospitality and service; Deo surprised me with buying my favorite popcorn at the visitor's center while I was in the restroom, Deo gave me Tanzanian shillings for a souvenir so that I didn't have to trade in USD. Deo went above and beyond to provide an amazing safari experience.
When we initially booked the trip, we booked for 2 nights in the North Serengeti, however the migration herds were still in the West come July. Ben and Deo and the staff made arrangements for us to switch lodging so that we could stay in the west to see the herds! This was much appreciated and we were so grateful to be able to be close to "The Greatest Show on Earth," and witness this very special natural event.
Soul had also been informed that I was celebrating my 40th birthday, so they had made arrangements ahead of time with the Pakulala Safari Camp at Ngorongoro crater (highly recommend this camp!) with a personalized birthday cake, candles and singing around the dining tent to the "Jambo, jambo Bwana/Kilimanjaro." None of the other guides were in the dining tent and I was worried Deo wouldn't be there, but he came to sing and celebrate--it honestly wouldn't have been the same without him; it's a celebration I'll never forget!
We enjoyed the hot picnic lunches and all of the lodges were beautiful and hospitable, particularly the Kiota Camp in Central Serengeti and Pakulala Camp in Ngorongoro. I have had several friends inquire about my trip and many want to know which company I booked with; I am excited to share with them about Soul and Deo and can confidently make these recommendations. Asante to all!

Breathtaking Experiance
From the first contact with Soul Of Tanzania I was impressed by how professional and helpful they were, that I just stopped contacting any other Safari Companies. Helena helped us in planning our trip according to our budget and giving amazing tips and advices, not sparing any effort to insure that all the planning goes smooth, even though we had so many questions on either email or Whatsapp she was always there to answer them.
As for the accommodations we were so amazed by all the ones that were suggested by her, mixing it between luxury and basic to keep it within our budget, we stayed in Manyara Wildlife Camp for day 1, the next day in Acacia Camp in Serengeti and the final night Ngorongoro Serena Safari Lodge. All had hot water and excellent food. Helena have been so sweet to even helping us in choosing hotels in Zanzibar although it was booked directly by us and not by the company.
We did a 4 days Safari Trip starting from Manyara Lake, then heading to Serengeti National Park and spending the last day in Ngorongoro crater, the whole trip was customized to our preference so we can feel how special it was from the moment we arrived at the airport. The lunches were very excellent the food always hot and tasty, you can even see other tourists looking at our table impressed by the food and set-up.
The car had a fridge and, very importantly, chargers for phones, and cameras, which is very important once you are there. Also the car was cleaned every day before the trip.
But of course what really defines the Safari Trip experience is quality of your guide. Here were we felt blessed, Heaven was extremely welcoming, friendly, professional and you can feel that he always take the extra mile to make sure our trip is pleasant. He has a good eye for the seeing animals from far away giving us the opportunity to be close to the animals before even other cars come around which was perfect for photography. His nice personality also was impressive, we had great chats over lunch or dinners and he always impressed us with his excellent singing during the long drives.
It was our first Safari Experience and thanks to Soul Of Tanzania it is memorable one and we cannot wait to repeat it again, We highly recommend Soul of Tanzania!
Safari tour in Kenya and Tanzania
I am currently working in Ethiopia and decided to do a tour covering Kenya and Tanzania in about 2 weeks. I booked with Soul of Tanzania which organized the Tanzanian leg of the tour and outsourced the Kenyan part to Spirit of kenya. All the logistics were great and no obstacles appeared.In Tanzania we had land cruisers while in Kenya we had Toyota minivans. Comfort is very similar but the landcruisers are worth the extra bucks. Both vehicles were reliable and very clean.
Both guides were amazing but my favourite was Spirit of Kenya guide. His name was Robert. It was amazing how he could spot animals camafulaged far away while concentrating on his driving. The Tanzanian guide was James and he was very professional and corteous.
Overall amazing experience and would definitely recommend!

Super good safari-experience
Thanks to Soul of Tanzania we had the best safari-experience we could imagine!
On our 4-day “Touch of Wilderness” we visited Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater, we saw 4 of the big five (except the rhino) and everything was best organized.
In the planning phase we had very good contact with Luis by email, he provided correct info about price, quality and possibilities for the accomodations and together we designed our perfect private safari.
Special thanks also to our driver/guide Edward, his very good driving and exellent knowledge of the wildlife made our stay and tour more than memorable!!!
Imagine, a tastefull lunch with a good glass of wine in the middle of the Serengeti....we will never forget...
Thank you so much for everything!!!
