The most organized, well planned and well executed trip of my life.
My husband and I went on a 18 day honeymoon trip to Tanzania in September 2020. Our honeymoon was organized with Luis, he was so helpful, treated us with so much kindness, and patience. Every request we made was met. We were quite nervous about booking a trip during COVID-19 and had a lot of questions about Tanzania’s protocols and Luis response time was really quick and he informed us of everything we should expect. Soul of Tanzania took a lot of precautions to make sure we were safe. Luis also created the best itinerary for us! The amount of effort to make us feel good about our choice was the sweetest guesture and it left us speechless. Our trip was so organized and so well thought out. Once we arrived in Tanzania our guide Steve worked very hard to make sure we saw all of nature and the beauty Tanzania has to offer. He was so amazing, we are very grateful towards him. Steve was very educated and taught us a lot about nature and we had the best experience with him. We became a family and it was the biggest take away for me. We would start our adventures at 8 am everyday. Steve though would be up 2 hours before to make sure the cruiser was in tip top shape and properly sanitized so our day would go very smoothly. Every hotel we stayed at was impeccable. We were treated with so much kindness and care. We truly believe we could never experience something like this in any other country with any other tour. On the safari it was very clear the difference in the way Soul of Tanzania treated clients than other companies did. Every day we received the best hot lunches and Steve took us to the best places first. We were always first on the scene and saw the best show! We saw the big 5 animals, we saw the great migration of 2 million wildebeest crossing the Maya river, We saw the most intense hunts just a few meters from our vehicle. It was the most surreal experience watching live what we would see on National Geographic. The most surprising thing for me was how breathtaking the landscape was. Every morning we would see the most glorious sunrises and every night we would be humbled with the most beautiful sunsets. The noise you hear when it is completely silent in the wilderness is a phenomenon I cannot explain. We heard the thunder of the wildebeest footsteps, we heard the Erie laughing of hyenas near our camp at night, we heard the magnificent roaring of Lions and the trumpeting of Elephants always left us speechless and in awe. We live in Canada and it is currently the dead of winter, we reminisce about our trip constantly and the beautiful weather in Tanzania everyday. Our videos and stories has made all of our friends and family praying to go to Tanzania and get the chance we got. We will always recommend soul of Tanzania to everyone we know. Thank you very much Soul of Tanzania and if we could come back we definitely will come back to Tanzania in a heart beat. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to have the best honeymoon any couple could possibly have. If you are thinking about booking a trip to Tanzania, you will not regret it! Book with Soul of Tanzania to get the best experience of your life!

6 Day Safari
We had a 6 day safari booked with Sino Africa Safari. Our driver guide was Solomon, and he was such a nice person. He is so professional, excellent driving skills and have jokes and songs to make our safari happy all the time. We were so lucky to have him with us for the entire safari. About our accommodation, they were comfortable and meals were so delicious. We enjoyed our vocation and we will visit Kenya again once the pandemic is over.

Excellent safari
Our safari was excellent. Although the weather condition was not good because it was the raining season. Our guide was the best, he was a very knowledgeable and nice. He has eagle eye to spot animals in the rain! And our car never got stuck in the muddy Masai Mara! All hotels were luxury options, and quotation was good also. Thanks to Sino Africa Safari for trying their best to give us the best safari ever!

Nice park, poor guide
We went for a 4 days safari in Selous game reserve (in fact Julius Nyerere NP). Mid range accomodation was nice with kind staff. Park itself was nice even if some ways were unpraticable do to the rain. Even if he is a nice guy, our guide is probably the worse we met in Africa. He seems more interested by his freetime than by guiding, "full day game drive" ended after lunch break, on the way back, he drove 60km/h making quite impossible to spot anything. Almost all animal seen were spot by others cars or by ourselves. During a game drive our "guide" wrote messages on his phone while driving in the park, very unrespectful attitude for the guests who paid to see wildlife and not only move in a park.

Spectacular experience and customer service.
From organizing airport transfers in Nairobi, Kenya, Olga has been lovely when we landed to arranging for my Mrs and I yellow fever vaccination. Our safari package consisted of three nights in Maasai Mara, two nights in Ngorongoro, and two nights in Zanzibar. Our driver Dan was so knowledgeable of the variety of animal species. We were able to see three out of the big five (Elephant, Lion, and Leopard) in Maasai Mara. Our transfer from Arusha airport to Zanzibar was so seamless. My Mrs and I enjoyed every moment of our vacation, and hopefully, we will be back. I highly recommend Olga and the team for their excellent professional support.

Great experience and very helpful people
We went for 5 days tour in Katavi National Park. Basic accomodation was good enough with private like service. We had the luck to see a lot of animals, the park offers very different scenery, always beautiful. We particularly appreciate to be almost alone in the park.
Organisation of the safari was very smooth, we have to thank Elen for her kindness and her effort to help in the organisation, not only for the safari but also for the transfort to and from the park, it was very helpful!

Great Safari organisation and beyond
Patrick form Mimlo Tour was both extremely knowledgeable and helpful. He was able to tailor the Safari to our specific requirements, adding a Blythe Canyon excursion and Garden Route Discovery on our way from Jo Burg to Kruger, as well as arrange our flights out to port Elizabeth when we left to pursue our trip on the Coast.
The teams he works with are professional , super pleasant and were absolutely tip top !
The Lodge itself ( Lukimbi ) was the perfect mix of luxury and adventure. Lovely hosts, Fabulous guide and tracker, great food and lovely wine cellar ( we were there before prohibition

Excellent experience with a great Tour Guide!
We took part on a 3-day Safari package booked quite a long time ago, and rescheduled due to the COVID situation. We finally had a chance to travel to Zanzibar this January with no hassles at all. No masks, nothing really, back to normal life as we remebered it some 10 months ago. What a relief after being locked in and having to wear masks in grey and dreary Europe. (Hungary in particular.)
So, after having spent 3-4 days in friendly and authentic Stone Town, Zanzibar, some nice guys from the agency drove us to the airport for a comfortable domestic flight from Zanzibar to Arusha, Tanzania mainland. There we were greeted by our Tour Guide, Melky Urioh, a really wonderful guy with good English and a flawless knowledge of everything related to Safari & Wildlife. Our 3-day tour kicked off in atmospheric Terengire National Park (loads of Elephants), then retreated to our Lodge (very good one for that matter). The next day we continued to the breathtaking Ngorongoro National Park, which is basically a great big volcanic crater, with breathtaking views and all wild animals on offer (Elephants, Lions, Zebras, Giraffes, and yes, even a Rhino family). Our last day of the tour included friendly and bushy Manyara Lake National Park (Elephants, Giraffes, Lions on trees, Water buffalos and a whole lot of monkeys, mainly Baboons) and a Masai Village which was also okay. All with the accomodating, polite and knowledgeable guidance of Melky (who buy the way also speaks German). It was the three of us (Mother, Father, 11-year old boy) in the comfortable Land Cruiser all the way, so we had all the privacy you can ask for, for a rather decent price.
Bottom line: great price/value, we received everything we anticipated and more. 5 stars.

Lifetime experience
We had a best safari ever! Thank you Octavian and entire team of Incredible Africa Adventures!
We saw a lot of animals including all the big 5. A lot of people said that we should go with a company that will fly us and explain everything in our on language, but we believe the fact that we went with a local company made everything better.
The food was excellent, the tents were amazing and the knowledge of the guide was awesome!! Thank you Incredible Africa Adventures for the experience we will never ever forget!

Outstanding company!!
I recommend Incredible Africa Adventures for your tour in Tanzania, Octavian was always replying fast and very flexible on every question we asked. The price was very good, reasonable beyond our expectations and the lodges we stayed in were simply awesome. Food was excellent in each lodge. Our guide Joseph, with huge knowledge and experience knew everything we asked about the animals, birds, trees and was always making sure we were having a great time. It was really a life time experience.
