A Surreal Safari
From my first email to SofT to our very last moment in Zanzibar the care and attention from the staff at Soul was so positive. We are very grateful to Miguel for organising our itinerary - no easy task, every email was promptly answered, good sincere advice given and our needs were met.
Pius,our guide had broad yet deep knowledge of the animals and the environment, we learned so much from Pius. He made us laugh, cared for us and always ensured our comfort safety and wellbeing. Pius was patient and soon realised we were not focussed on the big 5 and we wished to take our time enjoying and understanding the animals and the environment. Yes we did see the big 5 - but oh so much more! He gave us plenty of time to enjoy the animals, birds and the landscape….. Just to breathe and enjoy. Pius was generous with his knowledge and anecdotes allowing plenty of time for photos and for us to really appreciate our time in Tanzania. We left Tanzania with a special place in our heart for this country and our guide Puis. We wish him well and thank him profusely for his time.
SofT encouraged us to visit Lake Eyasi…. So beautiful and peaceful. Of course it is near to the Hadza and Datoga tribes. What a privilege to hunt with the Hadza and visit the Datoga and learn more of their daily life and talent as blacksmiths.
And yes the hot lunches, great coffee, cold wine, fresh cookies and lots of cold water was just a delight. This is a great touch. Well done! Pius made us coffee in some amazing places, allowing us to sit and enjoy our surrounds! Thank you!
SofT also organised our flights to Zanzibar and our stay at Pongwe Beach Hotel and Kisiwa House in Stone Town. the organisation and the hotels were perfect - and our transfer transport was on time every time.
Thank you Miguel for your efforts and to Benedict who came on our first evening to give us a detailed overview of our 9 day safari creating much excitement as we realised this adventure would be beyond our wildest dreams. Our guide Pius was dedicated to giving us his time, knowledge and attention. What a team of caring professionals. We highly recommend Soul of Tanzania.

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

It was great and wonderfull experience.
We visited Serengheti, Ngorongoro and Lake Manyara in december 2017. I have to say, Soul of Tanzania made our visit marvellous, excellent. So if you are planning safari trip, I would strongly recommend Soul of Tanzania. They really made our trip unforgettable. They had fulfille every request we made. We were travelling with a little child and everything run smothly. Lodges were great, food also.
Our guide Pius was really nice and kind and great driver and he answered an all our questions about Tanzania, Africa, nature and the most important - animals! We saw elephants, zebras, giraffes, hippos, buffalos, lions, cheetah, and also rhinos, and many many other animals.
If I ever have a chance of visiting Tanzania again, I know that I will be contacting Soul for booking a tour :)

Just excellent! Amazing 16 days Safari Tour at it’s best
Just excellent! Not to miss if you are planning a safari trip to Tanzania
If you are planning a safari trip to Tanzania, you may find difficult to select a tour company. It took us a lot of effort to select one for our 16 days 20th anniversary trip last January. So glad that we came across Soul of Tanzania!
Everything was planned to the detail, to the best standards.They let you participate in the planning process, with a selection of routes, national parks and lodging. Once there, everything runs very smoothly, starting with a perfect conditioned vehicle and your guide picking you up at the airport, to a extensively informative meeting with Iris Duba, the Operations Manager in Arusha. Cant thank enough her to her assistance all along the 16 days trip. she is available for any questions or issues that may arise.
Our guide, Herman, is just fantastic. An amazing person, very friendly and nice to be with, with an incredible knowledge of wildlife of all sorts. We recommend him to anyone for such an adventure!
Please feel free to contact me here if anybody has questions about this review.

Memories and Stories for Life
Soul of Tanzania created a fantastic 8 day safari itinerary for us and promptly responded to any questions we emailed prior to our journey.
Never having gone on safari before, we were slightly apprehensive, but all concerns vanished upon arrival when we met Herman, our guide who immediately made us feel welcome and comfortable.
Herman went above and beyond to make our experience beyond anything we could have ever dreamed. He patiently and knowledgeably answered hundreds of questions about the numerous animals we encountered. He enthusiastically searched the bush with his keen eyes all the while driving through rugged terrain to make sure we could witness the animals up close and personal. Had we attempted the trip on our own we would have missed 90% of the animals, but Herman’s skill and incredible instinct allowed us to experience all of the big 5 plus countless others we hadn’t previously heard of in their natural settings. Zoos will never be the same now that we’ve been “infected” with “safari fever”!
A few highlights:
Delicious gourmet lunches surrounded by fantastic scenery.
25 feet from cheetahs and lions
Lunch 50 feet from a pride of 18 female lions and cubs.
Lunch amid a herd of 1000’s of wildebeests and zebras
A herd of elephants playing in a pool of water about 100 feet from our Jeep
Herds of Cape Buffalo, giraffes, baboons, warthogs, and elephants crossing the road before us
Learning about and warm welcomes from the Masai, Dartoga and Hadzabe peoples.

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
Amazing!!!
It was a pleasure to traveled with the Soul of Tanzania andwe couldnt be more pleased with the choice.
Super attentive at all times, fun and a helpful staff. The choice of places to stay was wonderful and in everything we need we can count on them.
Without a doubt to repeat and I advise everyone who wanted to participate in this adventure.
5 star service! :)
Many thanks!

Amazing Tour with Soul of Tanzania
Our customized 8-days safari trip was well organized and perfectly accomplished by our guide and driver Pius.
The itinerary was well-balanced so that we encountered a great number of wildlife. We had to face adverse weather conditions with flooding but Pius managed us through any difficulties with great skills and coolness. He never lost his patience and was very firm on matters when the situation required it. His knowledge about flora and fauna is impressive, and he proved to be an excellent lion, leopard and cheetah whisperer. We were very happy with Pius and can unconditionally recommend him and Soul of Tanzania to any interested party.
There were so many highlights that it is difficult to list them. The whole package was inherently consistent with every day providing some new experiences. One of the big highlights was definitely our balloon ride over the Serengeti. This is a unique experience.
Over all it was definitely a memorable journey in Africa’s Nature and our experience with the very friendly people we met all over the country. Good hotels and good food, sometimes great food (Ndutu Lodge) completed our adventure.

Excellent Safari with Soul of Tanzania
My wife & I took a safari with Soul of Tanzania and they were fantastic. Not enough can be said for how well the organization is run. To start, their responsiveness when answering emails & questions was second to none when searching for a provider. They helped craft a great trip and answered any questions we had honestly. While in Tanzania, our guide Huruma that we were paired with was fantastic & helped make our trip even more enjoyable. The Lunch setting they provided was also a nice touch, if you are eating in the park they make it a beautiful picnic arrangement. When we come back we will be using Soul again.
We can't say enough good things about Soul of Tanzania, highly recommended.
