Soul of Tanzania provided an awesome safari with an experienced, knowledgeable guide!
Soul of Tanzania provided me with an experience of a lifetime. I went expecting to see some animals and beautiful scenery. I left with so much more! Erasto, my guide, was so knowledgeable and willing to teach me about the animals and their habitat. He made sure I saw all of the animals I wanted (the big 5, the ugly 5, the forgotten 5). I did not expect that I would walk away from the safari with so much knowledge!
Soul of Tanzania took great care of me while I was on safari. I stayed in beautiful hotels that were convenient to get to after a long day of game drives. The food was incredible - both at the hotels and on the picnics during the day. I am a vegetarian (and a picky eater), and I was full after every meal.
Erasto was not only a great guide, but he was a wonderful driver. He was very respectful of the animals, but he always made sure I could get a good view or a great photo without upsetting the animals. They carried on with their business despite our presence. He navigated the less than forgiving roads with care. We passed many broken down jeeps on our journey, but I felt confident that we would not meet that same fate. Erasto also seemed to be highly respected by the other drivers, so I felt like I had the best experience.
If you are going on safari, definitely use Soul of Tanzania to organize your trip. If you are lucky, you'll get Erasto as your guide!

Splendid Adventure
Visiting Tanzania has been on my bucket list since I was young. I'm not sure which I liked more the animals or the people. This is truly an amazing country.

This was the adventure of a lifetime!
Our guide “ Ziggy” went the extra mile to assure we saw all the animals we were excited to see. Leopards and rhinos are often difficult to spot, but Ziggy found them. Lions, zebras, wildebeests, giraffes and baboons were in abundance! Ziggy was also a skillful driver, navigating some pretty tough roads! He was an attentive guide and able to adjust the itinerary a bit according to his guests wishes.
The food was great, especially meals prepared by our own chef.
I weather was perfect the entire safari. June is a very good month to go, and I think a bit less crowded with other Safari vehicles.
My accommodations were varied. My favorite were The Rhino Lodge in Ngorongoro and a luxury tent in the Serengeti!

Fewer tourists and more animals. Wildebeest migration is stunning!
We saw hundreds of thousands of animals, some of them were very close. Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater were popular places but we did not see more than 20 cars at a time. All accommodations we stayed had hot water shower, electricity, and free WiFi. We did not need to get yellow fever shots. You may need a guide because the most of the roads do not have sign or direction. I recommend everyone who loves wild life to visit Tanzania.

Trip of a lifetime!
Our 5 day Safari was a trip of a lifetime!!! We are both huge animal lovers so there is nothing that brings us more joy than seeing animals in their natural habitat- no fences, land untouched by man. We found the Big Five (lions, elephants, leopards, rhino, & buffalo) along with endless amounts of hyenas, zebras, giraffes, wildebeest, gazelles, flamingos, jackals, baboons, monkeys, hippos, warthogs, and mongoose to our heart's content. We came across multiple prides of lions (9-10 per family!) and even watched as a wildebeest escaped a lion chase! We learned a lot about Tanzanian culture and even picked up some Swahili (Jambo Simba! :D ) Our favorite part was sleeping in the tented lodge at the Serengeti Camp- the absolute best accommodations and a must-do! Listening to the animals at night and seeing the giraffes sleeping outside our tent is an experience like no other. The Serengeti should be on everyone's bucket list but even more so is the Ngorogoro Crater! Words cannot describe how stunning this landscape is full of wildlife. Our trip was absolutely amazing but we know it would not have been as perfect if we didn't have the best guide there is, Omary Saidi! Omary is so knowledgeable about all of the animals and has a true passion for what he does. He was crucial for us to find all of the wildlife we wanted to see, especially the elusive endangered black rhino. He has a great sense of humor and is so kind with such a big heart for the people of Tanzania. We learned a lot from him and will be forever grateful we were blessed to have him as our guide. Thank you so much for such an unforgettable experience!

We went to Mikumi and loved it.
Tanzania is a great destination. Yet, travelling is very slow and accomodation and safaris are expensive.
But it is a true african experience and the Country has to offer a lot. I have to come back soon.

Everyone should do it, at least once! Unforgettable
Our guide was amazing, always patient and spoting the animals miles away!
The scenery and wildlife are incredible and worth all the effort and investment. The weather was perfect during the safaris, droping a few degrees only at night time (bring sweaters).
The food was ok but the accommodations could use some improvement! The tents weren't confortable and the bathrooms were so bad many people didn't even shower.
Aside from that, we loved everything and would do it again anytime!
