The best way to experience the magnificence of Tanzania
What an astonishing experience! We went on a safari with Soul of Tanzania for our honeymoon. The safari was extremely well organized. Our accommodation was marvelous. The safari vehicle was very comfortable. Our guide was very friendly and welcoming. His knowledge of the National Parks, animals and the locals was shocking. The Serengeti was a particular climax as we got to see the BIG CATS! The walking safari at Arusha National Park was also a highlight as we got to walk right beside giraffes, water buffalo and baboons. We could not have been happier with our safari. Soul of Tanzania is a reliable company, flexible and do the possible and impossible to make you pleased.

Excellent safari with pleasant staff and ensuring the Big 5
From the beginning, Ute has answered all our questions within hours: big or small, everything was helpful and answered all our doubts. As soon as we got into Skukuza airport, the pick-up was very smooth and we went immediately on our first game drive, seeing elephants within 30min of our landing in Kruger. The two days in kruger were excellent to get used to the new enviroment, while the 1 night in Nottens could not have been any better. The food was great, the staff very nice but the game drives are on a different level of anything else. Driving up to anything you would like and expect to see within meters, allowing yourself to enjoy the wildlife and nature in its best while learning a lot from the rangers knowledge and guidance. Definitely recommend this to anyone, from couples to families.

Good for budget
Big Time Safari LTD were great at keeping in touch with us before the safari and answered all our queries promptly. Martha was very friendly and helpful- doing everything she could to make our trip memorable. We were picked up and dropped off at the airport (separately as we had different flights) at very awkward times in the morning for free as part of this package. We did the 3 day masai trip which was pretty cheap. You do get what you pay for so cannot expect luxury (accommodation was very basic, food was good though) but every basic need was catered for. Our group had a great dynamic which helped make our trip most enjoyable- we managed to see the majority of the big 5 on our first game drive in the afternoon. Highly recommended.

The best time with Godfrey & African Traits
We are a group of 5 friends travelling from Australia. Three of us were staying in Arusha for two months before our holiday, so we had a lot of time to shop around for Safari companies - Godfrey from African Traits was the absolute standout company. We were so confident in him that we booked our trip to Kilimanjaro; a 4-day safari to the Serengeti and Ngorogoro Crater; and then a 3 day hike through the Usambara Mountains. We had high expectations and were not disappointed! Godfrey pays very close attention to detail and everything ran perfectly. We took the Lemosho route to the summit of Kilimanjaro and had the best time. Godfrey met us in Arusha and drove us to Moshi where we stayed in a very comfortable We were lucky to have one of the best guides on the mountain, John (who is also called 'teacher' by so many guides you meet along the way because he has taught a lot of guides himself!) - he had a lovely personality & was very encouraging. He has a secret method that gets you to the summit! His assistant guides were fantastic & the porters were amazing. Godfrey met us after the hike and asked us for feedback and we had absolutely no changes to suggest - it was perfect.
We spent two nights in Moshi which was very relaxing. Godfrey then arranged our transport to Arusha, where we met him and he introduced us to Benny - our safari guide. We headed off on our next adventure to the Serengeti and Ngorogoro crater. Godfrey's team for Safari - Benny & Habibu (the cook) - were great again! The car & camping equipment were great. The food was delicious. Benny was so knowledgeable about both parks, all of the plants and animals - we couldn't find a question he didn't know the answer to. The parks were both incredibly beautiful. We spent one night in Arusha and then we headed to the Usambara mountains. The mountains are often overlooked by many tourists visiting Tanzania but to their loss - the experience was simply fantastic. We spent three days walking through small traditional Tanzanian villages with our local guide KiKi. Kiki could tell you everything you needed to know about village life in Usambara and also about all of the wildlife around you. The views were spectacular and the hospitality was outstanding. We stayed one night at Bushbay - a small, family run guesthouse in Mgwashi village. We loved it there - the staff were very very hospitable & the local food we had for dinner & breakfast was delicious. We visited a local women's pottery cooperative to buy some special souvenirs. We stayed our second night at an Eco Lodge overlooking the plains below the mountains - it was spectacular! African Traits were very responsive to our needs - we requested to visit the Irente Biodiversity Farm for breakfast and they incorporated it well into our itinerary. Overall the Usambara was an unexpected highlight & definitely worth the visit.
I would highly recommend African Traits for your travel in Tanzania. With Godfrey, you are guaranteed an authentic, professional, relaxing, and amazing experience.
Good cars, experienced tour guides, lovely and enjoyable tour.
Yala Safaris has got very experienced and friendly tour guides, clean and well maintained vehicles and their services are up to expected standard. The accommodation was good and the food was delicious. It was an enjoyable and educative experience. Well done Yala .

Very good organization and exceptionnal staff
I'm very satisfied about the accomodations, the choice of lodges and the very good ratio quality / price.
It was a great experience to share these moments with our 2 grand-sons (10 years old). I appreciated in the past (twice on the top of Kibo), the services of Thadeus; and its with great pleasure I consider Jérôme Godfrey (Kileo Tours) as a very successfull follower. I appreciated particularly the exceptionnal staff, clear in explanations, finding always the good situations and so kind with our kids.
