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.

Beautiful country with friendly people, incredible scenery, and amazing wildlife.
I did a one day safari to Ngorongoro crater, and then a trek on Kilimanjaro. Both amazing experiences, both showcasing the range of natural scenery, animal, and plant life that Tanzania has to offer. Everyone--both tour operators and locals--was friendly and welcoming. A wonderful vacation overall, and I hope to be able to come back soon!

Beautifully
From February 11th to February 16th, 2024, we booked a safari in Tanzania with Ngekewa. Joshua was our contact person and did everything to satisfy us. Joshua is very reliable and was almost available around the clock if we had any questions. Everything went wonderfully smoothly. Upon arrival at the international airport in Arusha, the driver was already waiting for us and took us to the hotel in Arusha. The next morning, the safari began. On our itinerary were: Tarangire National Park, Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, Lake Manyara, and a hike at the foot of Mount Kilimanjaro, where we visited a coffee plantation and hiked to a beautiful waterfall. The booked accommodations were impeccable. What impressed us greatly, of course, were the indescribably beautiful landscapes and the animals we were able to observe. We can definitely recommend Ngekewa Tours.

The best experience in my life, a dream come true
Safari was amazing, we took a lot of photos, we saw lions, hyenas, elephants, giraffes, buffalo's, Thompson gazelles, a lot of birds and much much more. Makundi is a very good driver and knows a lot about the animals living in the savanna. Don't think, just do it, you will love it!!

Worthy of being the first choice for an African visit
Tanzania is one of Africa’s main centres for wildlife safaris and from our short experience it deserves to be on everyone’s list. We went in February and there was plenty of wildlife and the weather wasn’t too hot.
The parks manage the influx of tourists well and the guides make every effort to minimise their presence on the wildlife. The safaris are supported by a variety of accommodation allowing choice based on price and facilities.
The people are welcoming, friendly and have an unexpected proficiency in the English language. At no time did we have concerns for our personal safety.
Tanzania has everything for a pleasurable experience and definitely imparts the desire to return.

Serengeti great, ngonrongoro even better
We did a 4 day safari with SafariSoles and our great guide Raymond. Just us in the 4x4.
All the accommodation was clean and well looked after. It's important to note that in Serengeti you shouldn't expect luxury westernised hotels. Lodges and camps are exactly that. The staff are unfailingly polite and helpful.
The food is freshly prepared but simple. Don't expect loads of options.
We stayed at Serengeti Lodge, Sero tented camp and Rhino Lodge. Great and different experiences. You will hear the wildlife very close by.
We were lucky to see the big 5. You need luck but it helps if your guide is knowledgeable as ours was. The serengeti is vast, the ngonrongoro crater is absolutely amazing.
Breathtaking scenery looking down at the crater. The scenery at Rhino Lodge was good too.
The weather was hot but we were always comfortable. No issues with mosquitoes, tsetse flies were annoying in one zone but only temporarily.
Met a few Masai when stopping for lunch.
