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.

Wonderful trip, fantastically organised & great guide and service during our Safari!
We have just returned from a 4 day safari with Soul of Tanzania, and can thoroughly recommend this company to anyone considering taking such a trip. From my initial inquiry, Francis was very helpful in suggesting the most suitable itinerary for our time-frame, and very prompt in answering any and all queries I had. In addition he was also very helpful in organising an additional tour of Kilimanjaro area to fit into the limited amount of time we had available. The service from when we first arrived in Tanzania was also fantastic. We were given some very useful tips during our briefing on the first day, and all staff were extremely helpful in all ways. A special thanks to our guide Nico, who I would highly recommend to anyone considering a Safari in this area. Very friendly, extremely knowledgeable, and always willing willing to share this enthusiasm with us. Made sure we were able to see all of the big 5, and was great in ensuring we could find best and most interesting places in all the areas we were in during the Safari. Any queries or small requests we had were also immediately & helpfully handled by him. The van used for our trip was very comfortable, and all the accommodation was excellent. In addition, following the end of our Safari, the company very kindly offered to assist us in any way they could should we need any help or advise during rest of our trip in Tanzania. So a big thanks to all in Soul of Tanzania for arranging what was truly a fantastic trip for us, and for the great help and kind assistance provided during all parts of organising the tour and experiencing this fantastic country!

Wonderfull five days trip
We had the good luck of selecting Soul of Tanzania for a 5 days safari. What a stunning trip! The tour manager was super attentive and helpful and our driver/guide was excellent - professional, knowledgeable and patient. The number of animals we saw was countless and safety felt like something they took really seriously. The hotels they recommended were great and so was the food. I really recommend, from the bottom of my heart, Soul of Tanzania.

The best safari team, once in a lifetime experience!
Word can not describe how spectacular this experience was. And it was not only because of all the animals we saw during the tour but because Soul of Tanzania made the experience so smooth and comfortable from first inquiry until our flight to Zanzibar. We contacted several companies we found on google and Francis was not only the first to reply but also the most gave the most personalised and helpful answers. He even met us in Arusha before the tour for a quick briefing :)
Our driver, Samuel, has more than 15 years of experience and that was an easy tell and his driving and safari skills were absolutely fascinating. He was caring and treated us as a family all the time. He knew the roads very well and never got lost or disorientated at any time. He really took great care of us and made us feel safe. We highly recommend this company to anyone interested in a safari in Tanzania.
Most incredible trip of our lives!
This was a perfectly planned private safari! We went with our 3 years old child and my senior parents and it was a fantastic experience! We were amazed by the safety, closeness and abundance of wildlife we were able to see and on our final day we witnessed a pride of lioness stalking some zebra. At nights we were impressed by our campsite which was very well organized and the meals were great. The experiences with the local Maasai tribe was priceless. Our driver was amazing and he was able to share with us everything about the local wildlife!
