Soul of Tanzania is the Best!
We had the opportunity to take a tour of northern Tanzania with Soul of Tanzania. This review will be in two parts; the first is the company, the second is the driver. This is for a party of 2 in July 2017. We spent eight days on Safari. The first day was in Tarangire. The next two days were in central Serengeti. We then spent two days in northern Serengeti, followed by a day in Ngorongoro crater.
Company: we did an extensive amount of research for our Safari. Soul of Tanzania was the first company to respond to our request, and all subsequent emails were also replied to promptly. We felt the pricing was fair. The vehicle was in excellent condition, the air conditioning worked perfectly, and it was equipped with a refrigerator to keep bottled water cold. There is a charging strip to charge your batteries, cameras, etc. We were served hot delicious lunches every day in picturesque locations. They tailor-made our itinerary, and we loved every minute of it. The company did provide us with a good list of things to bring on safari. One thing we would recommend is a pair of binoculars for each person. The driver is equipped with a pair which you can borrow, but we strongly recommend to bring your own. We each had our own pair and we used them constantly. This company was excellent, and we received five star service.
Driver: we had the pleasure of having Zamo as our driver. He is personable, knowledgeable, and professional. He always honored our requests. We enjoyed getting to know him in the week we spent with him. He was always punctual and flexible with what we wanted to do. He was entertaining and informative at the same time. You can tell he has passion for what he does, and he is excellent at it. We only have positive things to say about Zamo. His English is excellent, and he taught us several words and phrases in Swahili.
Conclusion: we would highly recommend Soul of Tanzania for your Safari, and we also highly recommend requesting Zamo as your driver.

Was very comfortable on this safari and was able to see and do a lot in the two days. Learned a lot and had all my questions answered. Joseph was a wonderful guide and was very helpful and kind to my group and helped us with all of our needs. Would highly recommend to groups of all ages.

A driver guide can make a safari trip be amazing: Wnjau (Animal) is just great!
The experience of 7 days of safari has been very positive, we have enjoyed it a lot and we had a great time. The only thing we did not like is that water was included in the price of the safari and we didn't see those bottles arrive, it seems that no one had them. They only gave us 3 litres for 2 people for the whole week ... Everything else perfect, very happy!

Amazing experience with a fantastic guide
Eustace Baragu was his name and safari was his game! Eusty was all we could have hoped for on our vacation. Very knowledgeable, very chill, very cool guy. We spent four days in Massai Mara with him and each day was better than the one before. He knew where all the good spots were. We saw more lions than I can remember, two cheetahs, three wildebeest crossings, and crocodiles drowning said wildebeests.
10/10. Would definitely safari again.

Amazing Kilimanjaro experience with Kilitwende family
We used Kilitwende Adventures to climb Mt Kilimanjaro in June 2017. Bob and his team were fantastic from the start, from picking us up at the airport to our drop off 8 days later. We chose the 6day/7night Machame route. They made sure we had the appropriate gear for the hike and also sourced items we needed/wanted, nothing was too much trouble for them. I can highly recommend them, not only did we leave with the accomplishment of summiting Mt Kilimanjaro, we also left with life long friends. Thank you Bob, John and team

Fantastic safari with an excellent company who provided an expert and personal service
Communications with the company were quick and the advice received was very helpful in creating a 10 day trip to Northern Tanzania - Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro and the Serengeti - for a family of four. The owners of the company met us at the start and introduced us to our guide, King, who was with us for the rest of the trip. He was excellent - good company, safe driver, great at spotting and showed very good judgement on when to stay at a location and when to move. As a result we had some amazing experiences and some very close encounters with a wide range of animals. The arrangements made by Makasa all worked out well and the camps in the Serengeti were a real highlight. We would definitely use this company again.

8 day Safari (Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Lake Manyara, Tarangire, Lake Natron)
My partner and I (age 30 and 33) went on a 8 day camping safari with Safari Multiways and had such a memorable time! Our guide Omari was very knowledgeable and fulfilled every wish we had, especially concerning the wildlife. We love birds so he did a lot of birdwatching with us. Our cook made delicious local and international food and we spent some very fun evenings together. The camping sites were good for the most part, especially the private ones even had warm water (depending on the hour of the day). The public campsites in Serengeti are a more basic but camping in nature was a very idyllic experience.
The jeep was spacious and comfortable too, with an open roof to spot the wildlife.
Romeo Rwezaura, the owning manager was a major help to us, prior to arrival as well as after our safari. He booked a flight for us, helped us get escorted to the airport and around Arusha. We were really taken care of and the service exceeded all our expectations! Would highly recommend to anybody interested in a budget or lodge safari.
