Benson is the best!!!
Benson was fabulous and went out of his way to make our Safari everything we could want.
At our request he interviewed and hired Erasto Martin as our Safari guide, and we saw many, many animals- cheetahs and cubs, lions sleeping, walking, mating, hunting, and Cubs. We witnessed the wildebeest crossing, saw elephant troops, saw a female in estrus, babies, elephants bathing and eating. We saw baboons and babies, vervet monkeys and babies, blue monkeys and colobus monkeys. We saw giraffes, zebras, hippos, and many many birds.
Our accommodations were great. Beds were comfortable, showers were hot with plenty of water, but what made them all so memorable were the friendly staff!!!
Benson met with us near the beginning and at the end of the Safari, and made additional arrangements for us when we wanted more.

Perfect trip, all was super!
Communication was super, service was always perfect and our questions and askings were always good solved, the doorms were okay, the safari tour itself and our driver aroni were the best you can get in the world! I would book direct again and recommend this to everybody.
Best Tanzania experience
Robert organised for three of us for 4 days safari to serengeti ngorongoro and tarangire,Everthing was well arranged, he come to pick us from the airport to the hotel and provided us with professional breafing about the tour, Next morning before departure he was earlier to meet us at the hotel before the driver arrived.
Safari itself was amazing where we saw a lots of animal. The guide was so patient to gave us time to views animal.The cook and meal were perfectly. I recommend this company for an amazing tanzania safari.

Outstanding service!
I had the most amazing 3-day trip to Maasai Mara with Javiva Adventures. I was in contact with Janet throughout the planning of the trip and until return. She was very kind and flexible when I had to reschedule my trip and always responded quickly to my emails. Our driver was outstanding and had the answer to all of our questions and made sure we got to see the big five. The accommation was great and the food was tasty. I couldn’t have asked for more and will definitely recommend planning your trip with Javiva!

My experiences with this tour operator was very positive at each step of the tour.
My expectations have been exceeded. It started with helpful and speedy correspondence before the tour and only got better after that. Our guide Arony was absolutely fantastic. He is very knowledgeable of the area and always ensured that we had the best experience possible. He consistently positioned us to allow us to see the animals from a fantastic vantage point and was so patient with us as we were being awed by the animals. There were long days of driving and he always answered us with a smile. It was a great trip.

Great Safari with easy communication
Me and my girlfriend booked a 3-day Massai-Mara private safari. This was our first trip to east Africa and also our first safari.
The pre-booking communication with Noah was easy-going and hassle free. Our Driver picked us up in Nairobi and after three days dropped us off at Nakuru.
Our Driver and Guide Joseph was great and had an excellent experience in spotting animals that were well hidden. The park was huge and beautiful. Our Lodge was located on a small mountain right outside the park. The Lodge was incredible. The staff was extremeley nice, the surrounding jungle gave the place an unique feel and the view over the mara was breathtaking.
The ride in our Land Cruiser was enjoyable, in spite of the kenyan roads.
We were lucky to see four out of the "big five" as well as numerous other animals. Only the Rhino didnt show himself in the Mara (we did see Rhinos later in Nakuru).
I can highly recommend this tour operator. Ask for Joseph!

Most unforgettable experience! Worth every penny!
This is a company that will make your safari trip an extraordinary experience. I would like to give every one in this team a huge shoutout because they made my first African Safari trip a truly pleasant and unforgettable one.
I started to plan this trip 7 months prior to the travel dates. Luis was my point of contact and working with him was a delightful and easy experience. He always replies to my email within 24 hours and gave me all the support I needed. He handled all our booking issues professionally and fast. At one point in the planning process we need to change our travel dates due to our work schedule and he made it possible. I can’t be more satisfied to work with Luis.
We had a five-night safari. We stayed at Sanctuary Swala, the Four Season Serengeti, and Lemala camp Ngorogoro, all of them recommended by SoT. Thanks to their amazing recommendations we enjoyed our stays in all of them.
I know everyone who chose this company said they had the best guide, but I still want to say that our guide/driver, Denis, is the best guide we can ever asked for! This trip cannot be as memorable if we did not have him. He is a guide who has 20 years of industry experience. Not only does he have great personality, but also knows every single road in ALL national parks by heart and can spot animals from far away. I almost thought he had a super power when he noticed a lion hiding in tall grass from 1mile away. He always waited us at the front door of the lodges with his car ready 20 mins earlier than the time we told him to meet, no exception. During the trip I was curious not only about wild animals but also the culture of Tanzania so I bothered him with a gazillion questions every single day. He answered all of them with patience, and told me so many fascinating wild animal stories from his previous safari experience. While we were doing a game drive in Serengeti we had a flat tire. Denis handled it so professionally all by himself. To be honest I was a little worried when it happened but he made us feel we were in safe hands. He is just like a big brother and a good friend that you can rely on. He is truly an amazing guide in so many ways and my word doesn’t do justice. Asante Sana Denis you are the man!
We ran into some other SoT cars during our stays and I talked with another guide called Philip. He is a super nice and knowledgeable guide and speaks perfect English. Beatus, the manager in the Arusha office answered my call at 7:30am and solved an urgent problem we encountered. It is fair to say this is a team with the best professionals in the industry and they know what they are doing. The only thing I was not “happy” about was they made me feel I did not get enough of Tanzania in just five days and I have to come back again! If you are looking for a team to handle your safari in Tanzania, no need to search further because Soul of Tanzania can meet all your expectations if not exceeding them.
You will see me back very soon:)

Just a wonderful experience!!
We booked two full day safaris with Doug. It was immediately obvious that Doug does what he loves. He knows a lot and has told us plenty of valuable information about the history of Kruger NP and of course about the animals. He always took time for our questions.
The two days were fantastic and we hope that we can repeat this experience with Doug again :)
