Amazing scenery, safe, nice and smiley people and some of the richest animal life you can encounter in the African continent.

Fantastic animals, good food, super great guide, nice tented camps.
Wildlife was fantastic. We saw a lion right next to the truck, also cheetah and leopard very close. It was lion mating season so we got to see that too. Thousands of zebras, many hippos, elephants, etc etc. in the Serengeti there were lots of animals but they were more spread out. Miles of dirt roads sometimes a bit rough and bumpy. September/October was a great time to go because rainy season was over but still lush and green. Ngorongoro crater had a greater concentration of animals and we saw a rhino in the distance thus completing our sigjting of the big five. Our guide, Godson, was super! He was nice and friendly and had an excellent eye for spotting animals that other guides missed. He was also the driver and avoided potholes and washboard roads while keeping an eye out for game. He was interesting and went out of his way to make sure that all our needs were met. He took us shopping on the last day and also met us at 3 in the morning to take us to our flight home. He was the best guide I’ve had in years of traveling. A plus was that there were just 2 of us passengers so we had a private tour. We saw other jeeps with people crammed in jockeying for space to take photos. We took the 14 day Cultural, safari, and Zanzibar tour from Uhuru Tours. We got to do everything on the itinerary and it was well organized and less expensive than tour companies based in other countries. Uhuru is local. Tented camps we stayed at were very nice with toilets and hot showers in the tent and good food. One place we stayed at, we could watch elephants and zebras in a mud hole close by from our porch

We climbed Kilimajaro and did Safari afterwards. It is very convenient to travel within the same country. Besides, the national park and safari are famous and plenty of wildlife to look at

Beautiful
I had an amazing Safari, visiting ngorongor, Serengeti and Tarangire. Beautiful Landscape and Wildlife!
it is just breathtaking
I love the wildlife, i love the people. No other place is as good and pure as Tanzania.
Fascinating nature and amazing hospitality!
We did a Safari in Tanzania, visiting Ngorongoro, Lake Manyara, Tarangire and we had a night game drive. We booked our safari through this website and with Africa-Safari, a company tied with Hotel Zanzibar. The camping place was so amazing. Everything was so minimalist that you have everything you need, have an amazing comfort and feel like you are in Africa, unlike the unnecessarily luxurious lodges in National Parks. We still really miss the way we woke up and go out of our tent, having an amazing view with refreshing scents coming out of savannah. Besides, the location is very convenient, if you don't want to move with your bags from lodge to lodge every day. Finally, the staff and the food was much more than we expected. As it is the case in most of the country, people are very friendly and solution oriented.
Coming to our guide, Gaspar, he was like a nat geo dubber, giving us amazing information as we went through the parks. We understood that a guide with good eyes is very important, and his sight was like an eagle. We used to go around, looking empty at the trees in hope for seeing a lion or a snake, without seeing anything and he would point out a tree 100 meters away, telling which animal is on it with certainty! Apart from that, he was very friendly to keep us away from the tourist traps around the village, and to take us to a local bar to have some drinks each day.
It was really an amazing experience out there, looking forward to see those places and people again!

Very beautiful and special place.
Safari experience in Tanzania is very unique and different from everything I have experienced so far. Wildlife is great, landscapes are magnificent. We slept in camps and didn't really know what we are getting into, so we ended up in kamps with no mobile service and electricity without previous warning. But the scenery in the morning was worth it.

Fantastic Safari: Great sights and accomodation
We had a great 4 day safari with Souk of Tanzania. Pius was a great guide; very knowledgeable, professional and friendly. All accommodation was great, and I would highly suggest adding The Retreat, to your recommended offerings. Food was also very good, and having hot lunches every day was a very nice touch. All the game drives were very good, and we saw loads of animals. The only comment I have about the drive itself would be to try to minimise the amount of time spent driving between Ngorongoro and Serengeti, as that road is very unpleasant. Not sure if this road is avoidable or if there is another route on the return, but I recognise it may have been necessary due to our itinerary. I would also not recommend the optional add on nature walk near the Manyara Serena. While we were asking to do a walk, this specific add-on was quite boring and uninteresting.
Otherwise great trip, and I would highly recommend Soul of Tanzania to anyone.

Tanzania is a very humbling place that really changes the way you think about life. We saw many wildlife and unforgettable sceneries. The Tanzanian people really truly know how to live life to the fullest and are some of the warmest people I've encountered.
