Excellent Safari
5/5

We had five days Safari in Tanzania on Jan 2019. Our route is Arusha - Tarangire National Park - Ndutu Lake - Serengeti National Park - Ngorongoro. It was excellent trip.

Daniel, our Safari guide,is very professional and experienced. He knows a lot of about the animals. In addition to seeing the big five, we also saw a lot of warm animal families. The hot lunch in Safari were very, very wonderful. It was feel so great that "an amazing hot meal with a nice glass of red or white wine and everyone else is staring at our table like 'well what tour company is that!?'” We really had a memorable time and enjoyed Africa’s Nature.

Best safari experience ever!
5/5

I would highly recommend Soul of Tanzania for safari tour. It was one of the best and most interesting experiences of my life. We went to 4-day safari tour with the guide name Aman. He was very polite, with a lot of knowledge about animals and national parks that we have visited. Every day we had cooked meal, very tasty. We went to Serengeti, Ngorogoro park and crater and Lake Manyara. We have seen a lot of animal in there natural environment and natural behavior, which is the best you can do. There are no words which can describe our experience.

Extrordinary and unforgettable experience
5/5

We had a wonderful and unforgettable safari!
We spent a lot of time looking for the right company and it was one of the best decisions we made when we booked our safari experience with Soul of Tanzania.

Our guide, Pius, was very helpful and experienced, he has tremendous knowledge of animals and answering our questions with patience.

Our 7 days safari to Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro conservation Area, South Serengeti, Central Serengeti was amazing experience for us. Pius is a very good driver which is important on the Africa bumpy road and he had good relationships with other guides which is very helpful for us to get information for finding the animals.

During our journey we were offered hot lunches with cold wine. Overall, we would highly recommend Soul of Tanzania and especially Pius as a tour guide.

Also we would like to thank their Journey Desiner Lious, Supvisor Ben and whole team for helping us to get an unforgettable trip in Africa.

Unforgettable experience
5/5


Soul Of Tanzania has confirmed the excellent reviews on the internet sites proving to be a tour operator ready to satisfy my every desire since the planning of the trip that included both safari and sea stay in Zanzibar. They always responded to my emails promptly. I discovered with great pleasure that our guide, Daniel, speaks perfect Italian that made the safari experience even more engaging. It has proved to be an exceptional guide, very prepared on the behavior of the animals and an excellent knowledge of the birds also, has a glance out of the ordinary. The vehicle we used for the safari has proven safe and reliable with all the comforts. I also confirm the winning choice to serve hot meals for lunch instead of packed lunches. Thanks to Soul Of Tanzania I lived with my wife an unforgettable experience without any unexpected events

Amazing 6 days safari
5/5

What an incredible life experience thanks to Soul of Tanzania. I had contacted several other safari companies but Soul of Tanzania immediately stood out because of extremely professional and friendly Helena who designed the itinerary and have answered to all my questions. We had the best guide we could ever imagine - Ahamed was so professional, knowledgeable, charming. and he just went above and beyond to ensure that we had an unforgettable safari experience!
I highly recommend this brilliant company!

Words can't describe it
5/5

My girlfriend and I returned last week from a fabulous 9 day 8 night safari. We went to Tarangire, Manyara, Central and Southern Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater and Lake Eyasi. So rather than go on about the amazing wildlife - (wildebeest migration and big 5 etc.) incredible birds and beautiful landscapes that everyone talks about (and for good reason) here are some other thoughts.

Luis at Soul of Tanzania made the whole planning process pretty easy and quickly answered any questions via email. He also made some good recommendations during our phone call to help with our planning.

Even after all that I was still unsure about wiring thousands of dollars to some bank in Tanzania! So I emailed 10 people from different parts of the world who posted positive reviews about SOT on Tripadvisor. 9 out 10 people responded to me within a couple of days and everyone of them verified that they wrote the review, and reassured me that SOT was completely trustworthy.

So after an hour delay through immigration and customs I was pretty relieved when our driver met us at the airport. TIP: regardless of what you might read or hear, get your visa online in advance and avoid an hour wait at the airport.

Our guide Paul was the ultimate professional and is just a great person. He never got tired or annoyed when we asked the same question many times during our 9 days together. He was extremely safe driving in some pretty challenging muddy conditions. He continually pointed out animals and birds that we wouldn’t have seen otherwise and had an incredible amount of knowledge about them. It was like taking a mini-course on African animals and plant life. Paul was patient every time I asked him to stop so I could take a picture of yet another bird. Now the question is what to do with 4000 bird pictures?

If you want a completely different and unusual cultural experience visit the Datoga and Hadzabe tribes in Lake Eyasi. It’s pretty far off the beaten path but it’s also something that may not exist in the future.

Driving around all day on bumpy dirt roads is pretty tiring. Moving from camp to camp almost daily is also a little stressful. Hindsight being 20-20 I would probably limit the number of places visited and stay longer at each one. However I do not regret our itinerary and definitely recommend Soul of Tanzania.

5/5

Our amazing trip was 5 days Safari in the middle of March in Tanzania; Lake Manyara, South Serengeti and Ngorongoro Area.
Although there are so many tour operators, I chose Soul of Tanzania. Because I always get quick and detailed answers from Helena. She understood what we need and we organised our perfect tour with her. She is really good organizer.

And we were so lucky to have guide like Shaban. He knew where to find the animals and he has lots of knowledge about wild life. He knows where to find Big 5 and other interesting things. And our safari tour became more excited. Shaban never forgot what we needed. And he always find what we wanted to see in wild life. Cheetas, lepards, too many lions (even 5 baby lions), black rhino ... and so on... And he is also a good driver and a good person.

The camp places were so good. More then I expected. Especially the staff of Tortilis camp place in Lake Manyara and Sanctury Kichakani in south Serengeti were great. They were so helpfull, gentle and professional. You can have a beautiful dialogue with the staff. I almost cried before we left.The staff in Lake Manyara Tortilis camp area is speacial.

Camp areas has very good view. Their location is in a good position.They are so clean, food is amazingly delicious.

Luckly we had no rain during this season. Because generally it rains a lot in this season. The weather was so sunny. All the plains were so green and full of yellow flowers. So many grass and lovely trees. And best for us; there were not many safari jeeps around. There were not many people. And we saw all the animals. But comparing with dry season it's harder to spot animals in green plains.

This trip was one of turning point of my life. Me and my husband is so glad to meet Soul of Tanzania and our guide Shaban. We would love to thank you soooo much for this amazing trip and hope to see you soon!
