From the first correspondence, impeccable service for an unforgettable adventure
I did a lot of research when it came to a tour operator because I was bringing a group of 15 family and friends with me and from the very beginning, Soul of Tanzania provided excellent communication and service. They were timely with their emails and spot on with their recommendations. When one person in our party had a delayed flight and missed the first day of our safari, they found a way to reconnect her with our group as soon as she landed. The tour they recommended ended up being amazing - from the night safari to visiting a Maasai village, every experience was worth it.
Our guides were PHENOMENAL - all three were professional and knowledgeable, funny and efficient. The guides stayed with us through our entire 8 day safari and every day, they showed up fully for us. On one of the afternoons, one of the trucks had a major problem and even then, they solved the issue in a timely manner, took care of us first, and got us safely to our next destination. They handled all of the park fees, set up our lunches for us, and took all the rest stops we needed. They knew about the parks, the animals, the trees and the birds and always made sure to communicate with us each morning regarding the day's itinerary and what we could expect.
A safari in Tanzania is a bucket list experience and Soul of Tanzania delivered the most unforgettable experience and made the entire process seamless and simple. Not only that, they solved issues we had on the fly in a professional manner. I would use them again and cannot recommend them enough.

Trip of a Lifetime!
We had a amazing trip!!! We were so impressed with this company. We started working with Jose to plan it all. He made it so easy! His communication was always prompt and he was willing to help with whatever we needed.
Our 2 guides were the best!!! With James in Kenya we saw the Big 5 in a day and 1/2. We also saw the Migration and were lucky enough to watch a river crossing from beginning to end. He knew all the right places to be at the right time.
Hassan in Tanzania was incredible too! He joined us for dinner every night and we got to know him better. We saw so many animals up close, close enough to hear them chew. We started to call our safari - "Hassan's No Zoom Safari". We were even lucky enough to watch a leopard up close. We learned so much about the animals from Hassan. His wealth of knowledge was so informative and made our experience even better.
The drivers that did our airport transfers were always early and friendly.
The accommodations were perfect too! The staff everywhere was so friendly and accommodating. We also spent 3 nights in Zanzibar, which was a perfect way to relax after our 10 day safari.
I would highly recommend Unlimited Expeditions for a Safari! They have it down!

amazing and awesome, the best trip of my life
We booked a 10 days safaritour to kenya and tansania. During this trip we saw a lot of animals: lions and leopards hunting, lion babies group and more... the hotels provided by the travel agency were amazing,and we could also see lions and elephants drinking water. the tour guide James is very experienced, we saw the great migration of wildebeast on the mara river, which was very spectacular! The guide Tumaini from Tansania took care of us all the way, the driving skill was very good and safe. He also did a great job explaining many facts about local culture, the animal natures and many more great insights! Highly recommended agency, tour guides, hotels and the entire journey.
In fact, that was the best holiday of my life, also thanks to the team of the agency and local guides.

Awesome
We went on a safari tour in Kenya and Tanzania and we really liked it! The fact that you can see animals from such close distance is very cool. We could see the whole Big 5 and even the lion cubs, amazing experience. We really liked our guides, especially Danny, he knew so much about animals and nature so we had a lot to discuss while riding. Thank you very much for this tour

It was the best vacation of my life!! You planned the perfect vacation for us. It is very much appreciated!! We saw 72 Lions, the Wildabeest crossing, and many other amazing animals. Gabriel was an amazing guide and really took care of us!! The places we stayed were awesome, the meals were incredible, and most important of all… the people of Tanzania were so welcoming, friendly, and good. The tribes we saw left a lasting impact on and was a real joy to spend time with!! Thank you for everything.

Wonderful experience, well organised and good value for money.
We are now back home but daydreaming of our time in Tanzania.
We had a fantastic time on safari. We were met as planned in Arusha airport by our guide Stanley.
Stanley was absolutely the star of our safari - an exceptional guide - friendly, attentive to our needs and requests, a safe driver, complete connoisseur of the parks and wildlife. We learnt so much from him and he gave us full confidence that we were in safe, capable hands even when our back wheel got stuck in the mud following the heavy rains!
The parks are spectacular and the process to get in and out was handled flawlessly and with minimal interruption to our trip. The nature and wildlife is so unique and incredible!
The lodges were also great - accommodation at Escarpment was particularly amazing. The communal areas at Sopa Lodge were really nice but the rooms are laid out in a way that they are small and dark unfortunately.
The food and drink options at the lodges were good, however the food options during the day at pic nics were the only part of the experience that were not great and could really do with improvement.
Overall the value for money for the experience was very good.
Thank you also to Marta who made the booking process very easy for us and was very accommodating of the changes we requested to our itinerary.

Outstanding journey designers, wonderful stay
Our trip was wonderful thanks to The Soul Of Tanzania. They provide outstanding service, advice and help. Our journey designer Jose was very professional and always responded to our emails very quickly, making us feel supported every time we had any kind of question and request.
We were also very happy with the taxi driver that came and picked us up from the airport, he was very professional and gave us an interesting lesson on the history of Tanzania on our way to Arusha. Burunge and Acacia camps exceeded our expectations, they were beautiful and the staff was always welcoming and attentive to our every need as well as the food that was fresh, healthy and local. We appreciated that the food had traditional dishes, spices and flavors. In Rhino lodge the rooms were satisfactory but the food was delicious and everybody was, as always, very kind and helpful.
We were extremely happy with our safari guide Lom. He is extraordinarily talented, competent, kind and was very attentive to our needs and interests, he is truly a five star guide. He is also very precious because he shared his Maasai culture with us and in addition to knowing all the safari animals he is also very good in identifying and finding birds. He is also a very careful and safe driver. If we were to return we would definitely ask for him once again and we highly recommend him as a safari guide to your future clients.
A 10/10 trip!

fantastic experience with Soul of Tanzania
when I've started to look for a safari tour, in the beginning of 2023, I've read a lot of reviews. I't looked like Soul of Tanzania would be the perfect choice as operator. And they were. From the very beginning, more than 1 year before the travel, the tour planner José gave me all the information I needed. He was very solicit, answering me on weekends, hollidays, etc. We went smoothly till the beginning of the tour. We started in Kenya with our guide Nick. He was a fantastic guide, very bold at the time of running through the savanna to track the animals and very concerned of the best spots/position to the photos/movies. We managed to see a cheeta hunting in Masai Mara, something very rare, for instance. But we've been in lots of places in Masai Mara and saw lots of animals (also in the previous Lake Nakuru Park, the only place we saw rhinos). Hotels were very good (we took the medium board) and staff was always very friendly. We've stayed at Lake Nakuru lodge (very good food) and supposed to stay at Ikeliani Camp at Masai. They've sent us to another hotel, since Ikeliani was flooded recently. Downside in the tour because we've not been communicated previously. But the food was so good (looked like an international restaurant of a big city) that compensated any complaint we could have. Masai Mara is a fantastic park, lot's of animals, including cats, elephants (we crossed with a group of over 30), giraffes, etc. We've crossed the border to Tanzania to Serengueti Park with our guide Cleopa. We've stayed 4 days with him. In some days we saw a lot of animals, over 15 lions in total, and also dedicated a lot of time to find a leopard, finally managed to see one (they are very rare to see), thanks to the his effort. We've stayed at the Acacia lodge, inside the park. Very good hotel, some shower power issues, but the staff very friendly and the food good (not as the previous two). Ngorongoro crater park was the next, not a glorious day as per the animals, but it was ok. Serena Lodge is a fantastic hotel with a great food and staff. We kept going and Lake Manyara Park was our last park in Tanzania (we've stayed in Escarpement Lodge, very good, with a good food). The park not as brilliant as Serengueti, but guess what: returning to the park entrance we saw another leopard, this time on the road in front of us! Crossing the border back to Kenya, our guide was John. Very nice person, we've stayed at Kibo Safari Camp, very good also, mainly the staff and food. Amboseli Park is also beautiful, with lots of birds and elephants (the biggest number among all the parks) with the landscape of Mount Kilimandjaro behind with acacia trees. Beautiful photos with a line of elephants, acacias and the mountain. At last, it was a fantastic 11 day tour, unforgettable, more than 1100 photos and 6h of filming. Don't hesitate in hiring Soul of Tanzania for this. They are quite responsible and safe. The 6 parks visited worth everything. Is a lifetime experience, beyond any doubt.

A wonderful 6-Day Majestic Tanzania Safari
The whole safari trip was amazing. Our guide Filix is very professional at driving and safari.He also can spoke a little bit Chinese, which was a big surprise. We call him Socializer which is the social king of Tanzania.He could get animals‘ informations ASAP, and took us to see what we want to see, including lions, rhinos, cheetahs, etc.On the last day we also coordinated with the driver and added an itinerary to a zoo to see the animals and Kilimanjaro very close.It was a very memorable journey. Thanks for Unlimited Expeditions-The Soul of Tanzania's good service.
