Angel was as his name describes and absolute angel extremely supportive and motivating.
I climbed Kilaminjaro with Angelo and his team through Kipok tour company. Angelo was absolute amazing. He was extremely supportive and motivating exactly when I needed it. He was always there asking me how I was doing. He would sing with me and teach me Swahili along the way. Angelo was always so positive and that is exactly what I needed. We talked about the life and culture here in Tanzania and the struggles of COVID. I could not have asked for a better guide or a better experience. The porters were so strong to carry all of the supplies up the mountain. Dauson the waiter was so sweet and such a delight to talk to. The chief, cooked extremely delicious food that was perfect for nourishing the body for such a tough hike. Asante sana!

Serengeti Bucket List Dream Fulfilled
We visited Serengeti& surrounds from 13-19 June 2021. I started dealing with Helena from 2019 when our original trip was planned for June 2020 , this was postponed to 2021 due to covid. From the beginning till the very end Helena & the Soul of Tanzania staff were always prompt , friendly & professional. I always rate a company by their quick experience to my e mails & Helena has been world class. Our visit started at Lake Manyara known for its tree climbing lions which we unfortunately never saw. The lunch in the bush with views over the Lake was a wonderful experience , great food prepared by Eileen's Inn where we stayed at the previous night. Day 2 we proceeded to the Serengeti Park & were greated by a pack of 8 Hyenas & shorty thereafter a pride of 6 lions , what a start. Stayed over at Tukaone Camp right in the bush & has all the basic necessities. Our next day we did a hot air balloon safari with Serengeti Balloon Safaris & what an experience to see the Serengeti & animals from the air. The next 2 evenings we spent at Mbalageti Camp & again a real in the bush experience where we heard lions roar all night & some hyena & zebra . We then proceeded to the Western & Southern corridor where we were fortunate enough to witness the migration , a mindboggling experience to see so many wildebeest & zebra together. Back to Central Serengeti where we spent another night at Tukaone Camp & more great sightings thanks to our Guide George . To give some perspective we spent a toal of 4.5 days in the main Serengeti park & amongst other saw 58 lions , 3 leopards , 5 cheetah including a cub. The amount of animals & variety we saw was incredible & we have done a number of safaris in South Africa & Namibia. Our final night was spent at Hhando Coffee Lodge just outside Ngorogoro crater , again top class venue.
What was great about George is that he was always on time , shared a lot of knowledge & ensured we were always comfortable. We were glad we were with Soul of Tanzania as we saw a few vehicles broken down along the way & these areas are very remote so ones holiday would be spoilt if you break down. The vehicle was always clean & seemed well maintained & George explained what they do after every trip which was reassuring.
Our overall experience from the beginning has been awesome , your itinerary is customised to your needs & George checked with us on day 1 what we would like to see & we were fortunate to see all of the big 5 but far more than expected . I would recommend spending a full day in the Ngorogoro Crater & stay inside the Park if possible as trip to crater floor takes a while.
Thanks once again to Helena & George for an absolutely memorable experience.

Amazing!! Very detailed and thorough on the tour!
My boyfriend and I booked our Serengeti tour for my birthday in May of 2021 through Wildlife Oasis Tours. The tour was beyond what we expected!! Humphrey was in constant communication with me from the time I booked and beyond our arrival. His brother Twalbu went above and beyond to ensure that our visit was astounding even after the tour had been completed and we returned to Arusha!! He made sure our mission on the trip was fulfilled and he accommodated us immensely!! He gave us much more than we expected and as a travel agent I look forward to referring my clients to Twalbu and Humphrey at Wildlife Oasis Tours. They checked in with us while we were in Kenya for 5 days and waited up late for our arrival in Arusha. These brothers are amazing and we thank both of you so much for making our visit beyond successful!! The Serengeti tour guide and his brother the Chef are also amazing!! We thank you both as well for making our experience grand and ensuring that we were able to see the BIG 5 and much more!! Might I add we thank you for your patience with the MANY pictures we were taking lol, we tried to capture as much as we could and we appreciate you both for allowing us enough time to!! You all keep doing what you're doing!! You're making goals come to fruition for those who partake in your Serengeti tour!! Bless up!!

Amazing
The tour was amazing !!! I was looking for many companies and the only one who responded quickly was Mufasa, Joseph from the first moment helped me in everything to organize my trip. I was traveling alone so what I was looking for was a company that provides me with security and they gave it to me 100%, I felt very comfortable at all times. I had two guides in Spanish Sam in Kenya and Ally in Tanzania, they really are two people who know too much and I learned a lot with them. The company fulfilled everything it offered and even more, I am really very happy to have chosen them. I definitely recommend Mufasa

The tour was very well handled apart from the fact that we arrived late to amboseli (1st day)
The driver James was a very sympathetic and passionate person. The company is reliable and except if you are looking for a luxury tour, I recommend this tour operator!

Excellent tour company, very accommodating
Communication with both Edison snd Herbert was excellent, far better than any other tour company. We had an amazing trip to Uganda, every step of the way Herbert was extremely accommodating and Edison planned an incredible itinerary even with our very limited budget. We had every experience we had hoped for and their suggestions and expertise were unparalleled.

Amazing Trip
We booked the Kenya to Tanzania tour and added the Zanzibar Beach experience. Overall the trip was amazing and we saw many, many animals. The weather was great and all the hotels were excellent (especially Ashnil in Mara). Both drivers, Jacob in Kenya and Simone in Tanzania were also so experienced and personable. It felt like the other safari drivers in both countries looked to them on the radio for info and animal sightings.
I communicated with George in the office over a year before our trip and he was always very responsive to my questions and thorough. With the COVID-19 pandemic happening during our booking we were never quite sure if we were going to be able to go. However it worked out that my husband and I were fully vaccinated before we left and our driver in Kenya had his first shot as well. We had to get several COVID tests, one before we left the US to enter Kenya, one in Kenya to enter Tanzania, another rapid-test at the border in Tanzania, and then one in Zanzibar to return to the US. Our drivers helped make the arrangements for these.
So I would highly recommend this trip with Right Choice. We had our own Land Cruiser in both Kenya and in Tanzania that were both new vehicles. Jacob and Simone both made sure we saw all the big 5 animals and even the hard to spot Rinos! They both taught us much about the animals as well. All in all we saw some 50 lions! Some of the prides were quite large, one even had 2 males and many cubs! It satisfied our need for lions after at first only seeing on in the distance in Amboseli! We were a little early for the great migration, but the wildebeest were getting ready for it. There were thousands of them at time as far as you can see, along with the zebras! The positive is that since we were a bit early, there weren't many other tourists.
The only problem we had was at the Tanzania border which we had not purchased a Tanzania Visa a head of time. We were under the impression the Kenyan Visa would be good for all of East Africa. So we had to purchase that there and it took a bit more time and made the day to Serengeti very long! Just make sure you purchase both online before you go.
The last few days at Blue Bay Beach resort were a nice way to relax and unwind after going everyday, so I'm glad we did that. The resort grounds were beautiful, so was the beach, and the staff were great. The food was fine, always plenty. I added a day to our trip to visit Stonetown to get a little of the local culture which was nice. We stayed at the Hilton Doubleday where was very nice. Unfortunately since there haven't been many tourists, the locals all try to sell you something. So we did our part for the local economy as best we could.
The local people are all so friendly and seemed to really appreciate us being there after a year of not having many tourists. "Asante-sana", Thank your VERY much! Thanks again Right Choice for all your help and in making this an unforgettable experience. Perhaps we'll do a South Africa trip in the future.

Harry was my guide and he is a great guy that loves doing safari and was very informative and helpfu
I went to Terengire, Ngorongoro, and Serengeti for an overall 4 day trip. It was an unforgettable experience and had many memorable moments! Our guide was excellent and had fun spending time with us and describing different animals and parks. I got to see every animal imaginable and our guide made sure we all got to experience what we wanted throughout the trip as best as he could.
