Brilliant guide, great experience - we never expected to see so much
We recently had a 7-day safari with Soul of Tanzania and it was a really great experience.
Our guide, Herman, was helpful, knowledgeable, and was obviously passionate about his work. He had an amazing talent for spotting animals, and we got to see some rare species that other guides missed.
Everything about the trip - food, accommodation, the vehicle - was of a high quality. The hot lunches were a great feature as well. Communications with the company were easy, and a representative came to meet us in Arusha.
I would definitely recommend Soul of Tanzania, and Herman, to anyone planning a safari in the region.

Amazing!!!
Amazing this TRIP!!
Fantastic staff, good organization, good food, and our driver, the German, was very helpfull, polite, quiet, and always explained everything about the animals and the space that surrounds them. He was always alert to try to surprise us, I really liked it.
He has been working in this area for 10 years and he realizes that he likes what he does by giving his best, also contributing with his share in the preservation of nature, good blese you!!!

Breath taking
This was the best trip I wever made. They organised everything so well that I almost forgot I was so far way from home. I felt always so cared for. The food was amazing. The drivers were very nice and they knew all about the animals. Our driver sang to us the song Akuna matata!! During the safari we were able to see the big 5 and lots of others animals. The hotels were very nice and confortable with views breath taking! Iris thank you very much!

Want an experience of a lifetime,look no further
We were a family of five, and from the first of communications with "Soul of Tanzania" we knew that we would be well-taken care of. Even more so our expectations were pleasantly exceeded!! In fact, we were the envy of other tour company guests as they peered over our "Hot Lunches" with wine that was provided daily on our safari!!While they dined from boxed lunches. The hi-light of our safari was our guide, Nico. He ran everything to our schedule and liking and was exceptionally knowledgeable with "ALL" the wildlife. To cap off our safari vacation, Nico purchased a Masi robe as a gift for our 8 yr. old and adorned him with it as his parting gift to us, which brought a tear of joy to my wife. I feel that in a short time we became like family...it was that GOOD. So do you want a safari vacation of a lifetime, above the rest...look no further.
The only suggestion I might make is if "Soul of Tanzania" had a little parting memento (ie) golf hat, t-shirt, keychain etc.

Great experience
Its my 6th safari and the 2nd in Tanzania. The guide was probably the best I've had before and the experience was very smooth. Great customer care, both before and after safari. No complains at all, exceeded the expectations completely.

Legendary!
This is a young company but everyone working there from management to staff to guides have all been working in top positions in the industry for more than a decade. The level of comfort we had during our tour was difficult to imagine. Our vehicle was almost new, absolutely top notch and the best I saw in the parks. For lunch, instead of having a lunch box like everyone else (even those staying at the really high end camps), we always had a full table set for lunch with forks, knives, and even wine stand, wine and, on some occasions, even hot food on pots.
The guide was the best (Benson), he was polite but always enthusiastic and engaging us in all the stories he had to tell us. I am not back in Tokyo but I definitely want to return for a longer experience and there is no other company I will consider.
Thanks to everyone, you are the best.

One of our best experiences of our lives!!
We just got back from an amazing safari in Tanzania organized by soul of Tanzania. Before we decided to take the trip we had some doubts about booking with a local company, but we are so happy we finally booked with soul. They took care of everything including the smallest details, nothing was forgotten. When we arrived our guide Benedict waited for us with a big smile. We felt welcome from the first moment we met him. Kim met us in town for a cup of coffee and a briefing regarding our safari. It was extremely helpful and she made sure that everything was organized well. Benedict and Kim seemed to be communicating throughout the safari which gave us a safe feeling. The trip took us to some of the most amazing places in Tanzania and we saw more wildlife than we ever expected to see. Tarangire was surprisingly great, Manyara was beautiful green, Serengeti was just like we imagined the African plains would be and wow ngorongoro was just breathtaking! The lodges and camps we stayed in were all very well chosen by soul of Tanzania. The staff in each camp was lovely, the food was delicious and the rooms were just amazing. Our guide made us feel so spoilt during the whole trip. He provided us with wine, set our tables, made us some fresh coffee and always made sure we had hot lunches. This seems to be something unique as other companies don't provide this service from what we could see at the picnic places. Benedict took us on some private game drives as well and always found what we were looking for. There wasn't even one moment we didn't feel safe in his car, he knew very well how to get us through the muddy 'roads'. We can't imagine traveling with a different company and would like to thank Benedict) and Kim one more time. We can't wait to come back again soon!

Amazing trip with Soul of Tanzania
Soul of Tanzania deals since you send the first mail until you return to your country that you have a wonderful experience. His staff is super attentive, present in every detail and his guides (in our case the wonderful George) do everything in his power and more to have an extraordinary trip. Very understood and prepared, there was no question that could not answer about Africa, and knows everything about each animal you cross and we believe he have some sixth sense to locate them.
The trip starts with a lot of adrenaline, in a state of happiness that this company knows how to keep you, but there comes a time when they honor their name, once you adapt to the environment, because they make you feel like at home, you enter a state to understand the "soul of Tanzania" and I assure you that it touches yours. You drop a few rhythms and connect with those sunrises and sunsets that they worry about you to see in the best spots, the magnitude of nature invades you and there is the guide ready and prepared so that you take a teaching of each animal and each person that you cross in the path. We are grateful to have been able to get to know the "Soul of Tanzania" and help us to nourish ours with great values from humility, predisposition, kindness and cooperation for the other. We take a bit of the secret of happiness,to connect with nature and if those around you are well and happy you will be better too.
Without words it was a journey that mobilized us and we changed a lot. Thank you very much to all!!

Great operator, fantastic trip
Really good communications from the outset, and lots of care and attention throughout the trip.
Our group thoroughly enjoyed the Soul of Tanzania experience. Personally, my favourite moments were seeing the huge groups of wildebeest and zebra together in the Serengeti, and witnessing the order of precedence between the various carnivores after a kill has been made. This was my second visit to Ngorongoro crater, and I can still say that it is my favourite place to visit in Tanzania. But just the whole experience was really enjoyable.
Our guide Godfrey was great! He always had so much more energy than me, in spite of working so much harder.
