A perfect few day get-away to see the delta
Marvelous Mobile Safari answered our many questions and many emails making it an easy choice to put our trust in them - they even tried to help sort out a flight issue. And when flights didn't connect, were still there to meet us, quick to adjust the itinerary so that we could still make the absolute most of our few days. The delta was just stunning, and our guide was careful and informative and helped us track a number of animals. We did well in terms of seeing wildlife, but learned so much as well. It was incredibly hot and dry, so we rested during the heat of the day and went animal spotting in the morning and late afternoon, as well as a dip in the delta. The sunsets were dazzling, so the team always made sure we were somewhere special to watch from. The camp itself was luxurious but rustic - the comfortable camp beds and hot showers were unexpected and, as a vegetarian, I cannot say enough good things about the food.

AMAZING....unique and very special setting. Service excellent ..highly recommended.
Perfect combination of safari and relaxation on the beach . Staff all friendly and their attention to guests needs fantastic and guide excellent . Not the place for seeing the big 5 but still wonderful for the experience and photo opportunities.
All our expectations were surpassed .

Amazing to see the big 5 in their habitat.
The wildlife, weather, our guide Stanley from Venture Savannah were excellent. Most of Lodges we stay were great.
The biggest disappointment was to be caught on a FRAUD by the company “Kenya Walking Survivors Ltda”, I paid 50% 4 months in advance , had communication with Mr Otieno but 10 days before my trip all stopped. Ann at Ibis Nairobi help me to rebooked my Safari with Ms Pauline Mwarari from Venture, wonderful lady.
I’m a teacher from NY and love to travel.

Soul of Tanzania provided professional, personable, flexible staff to fulfill our dream safari.
Soul of Tanzania knocked it out of the park! After reading so many details of the five star reviews (which you can find so we won't repeat), we put together our itinerary with our trip designer José for our northern Tanzania tour. Everyone we met in our accommodations and on our tour were friendly, kind, and welcoming, attending to our every need and question. Special mention first, to our young driver Hassan, who was engaging and informative on our trip to the Materuni Village; we wish him well as a future tour guide. Our tour there was guided by Emmanuel whose patience with our pace on the rainy hike to the waterfall was matched by his enthusiastic demonstration of processing coffee beans from harvest to cup. We enjoyed our active participation in this, too.
Our driver, guide, teacher, and friend, Tony, was a kind and knowledgeable companion for our six day safari. We could not have asked for a better match as he was humorous, patient, thoughtful in his conversation and eager to attend to our every need. Tony had surprises around activities and information for us every day. His skills made us feel adventurous and better connected to the environment around us with a respectful understanding for the cycle of life. Tony spoiled us with his great service, hot lunches laid out with style, his concern for our well-being, and his ability to find opportunities a little off the beaten track. We would highly recommend Tony as the perfect guide for any age group.
Although I really enjoyed the fact that the Manyara Wildlife Safari Camp had many women working there and it was a beautiful setting with fine dining, our top pick was the Tortilis Serengeti Camp. Godfrey and his staff, especially my Kiswahili teacher Chire (sp) made us feel at home, as if we were old friends. They blended friendly teasing with education and professional attention. Our glamping was luxurious with the sound of lions, hyenas, and water buffalo filling the nighttime; we were safe in the knowledge that our "Maasai Uber" would get us safely from place to place in the evening.
I can’t say enough about the flexibility and professionalism of Soul of Tanzania and I will be recommending them to anyone who is planning their dream safari.

Superb trip organisation and excellent staff
I have travelled with Somak a number of times and each time have been impressed by all aspects of the trips. They have tailored holidays to meet my requirements in a professional and friendly manner. All pick ups/drop offs have always been absolutely punctual. Their staff on the ground in the various locations have been excellent and the locations they choose of a high standard.

Best place for safari is east africa including Kenya
We visited several African countries and Kenya is one of the best. It beats southern africa with its wildlife, pop-up style vehicles, food and lodges. The Indian vegetarian jnfluence, Belgian and French influence from neighboring countries provides much better food than the souther African British and Dutch style of food. It is easier to fly to and cheaper from US and Europe.

The folks at Journey Beyond were extremely helpful and professional, dealing with many changes, special dietary need issues, and coordinating with another family's travel plans. They also made great recommendations and sent us a complete printed itinerary with everything documented. I don't know how we would have done it without them!

Fantastic safari managed by excellent people in an amazing place
we had a fabulous trip with the Elisante's gestion. The guide was fantastic and the majority of the hotels were well or very well. My husband and I went alone in a car and it was a fantastic experience.
the worst thing was to pay there in cash (the safari), a lot of money in our pocket
