Epic trip
Soul of Tanzania did an outstanding job with my itinerary. From the time they picked me up at the Kilamanjaro airport until the time I left Zanzibar 12 days later, every day was filled with National Geographic worthy landscapes and wild animal encounters.
I got to see the big five and the accommodations and food were outstanding. The veggies, coffee, fruit were all locally grown and the beef and chicken all free range. No factory food! Also, I got spoiled drinking South African wine.
But the best part of all was the people. As a 69 year old woman traveling alone, I felt so safe!
Can't wait to bring my family the next time I travel to Tanzania.

A Journey into the Heart of the Wild: An Unforgettable Safari at Kruger National Park
From the moment I embarked on my safari adventure in the illustrious Kruger National Park, it was clear this was going to be an unparalleled voyage into the wilderness. Nestled in the heart of South Africa, Kruger is not just a park; it’s a colossal testament to the beauty and diversity of African wildlife. The booking experience set the stage for what was to be a meticulously organized, deeply immersive journey into nature’s untouched landscapes.

Review about Samburu National Reserve by Barry
A very under rated park that during some times during the year is as good as the Masai Mara.

Amazing experience from start to finish
We had an amazing time with our guide Herbert! We had a great time every step of the way from the moment we were picked up. Hiking with the gorillas was UNREAL! We felt so lucky seeing them in their natural habitat.
Herbert was so helpful and accommodating. On our last day we wanted to hike with the golden monkeys but also needed to catch a flight that evening. Herbert made sure we were able to do both, and even made arrangements for us to have a quick shower after the trek at a nearby guesthouse.

An incredible experience with a wonderful guide.
Our tour was an incredible experience. We saw amazing animals, landscapes, and met amazing people. We loved every place we went to. The gems that stand out was Ngorongoro Crater (one of the most stunning places we have ever been to) and to our surprise, the visit to the Lake Eyasi and the Hadzabe tribe. We were able to learn about their culture and see how, despite the pressures of modernization, they continue to follow their old traditions. We even accompanied them on their hunt! Amazing. Our driver, Bonny, was a great resource during the tour. We had many interesting conversations with him as he taught us about the locations we were visiting, various cultures, and our questions. He also took very good care of us during the drive and at each of the lodgings, making sure we had everything we needed. During the drive itself over the sometimes rought terrain, he was well prepared and clearly an expert at taking care of the jeep and we never had any problems with the vehicle (although we did see quite a few!). In short, I would highly recommend both this tour and Destiny Explorers!
