An unforgettable, incredible experience!
I can’t express enough with words how incredible our Safari was with Soul of Tanzania. We visited Tarangire, lake Manyara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Lake Eyasi. Our guide throughout our entire trip was Thadey Benny, he truly went above and beyond to make sure our experience was unforgettable and it would not have been the same without him. We cannot recommend this company enough and if you get the chance to do a safari then we highly recommend that you request Thadey to guide you through your experience! Thanks so much for the last 8 days it was pure magic!

Thank you to Morris for an unforgettable experience!
After doing three days of Kenya safari at Maasai Mara, we met with Morris at the Tanzania border and he took us through the Serengeti and Ngorongoro parks over the next four days. Right off the bat, the day he first brought us to Serengeti we had told him we had not yet seen a leopard yet and he made it happen within a few hours of entering the park. He was an excellent driver, guide, and adventure partner. Would absolutely recommend him for any trip.

A highly proficient outfit
Having dreamed of going on safari my whole life, my trip to Tanzania lived up to everything I hoped for and more. The Serengeti and Ngorongoro can take a lot of the credit, but Soul of Tanzania also played a big role.
Despite making mistakes in my trip planning, complicated by my travel partner pulling out at the last minute, Manuel was still able to expertly fit everything I wanted to do into the few days wedged between two other bookings I had made beforehand. He did so with short notice and without over-charging! If only I had known I could book all my tours and accommodation with the one company. Having contacted many agencies, I am extremely pleased with my final choice.
Ramadan, my amazing guide, maximised every minute of the few days I had on safari. His zoological knowledge was extensive, and he was able to find all the animals I wanted to see, including the big five (rhinos twice, incl mother and calf). Ramadan was happy to answer my incessant questions about animals and obviously has a genuine love of wildlife. Like Manuel, Ramadan was very patient and calm with my planning mistakes and being such a high-maintenance first-timer.
I can't wait to go again… but next time I will get Soul of Tanzania to organise everything.

Incredible experience!
I can't say enough good things about our experience with Soul of Tanzania and our guide, Cleopa. Our booking agent, Hugo, was incredibly helpful and answered all of our questions promptly.
Upon arrival from Kenya at the regional airport in Tanzania, our guide, Cleopa, was there to greet us. He made us feel very comfortable from the moment we met him. We climbed into the Land Cruiser and immediately set off to 'look for lions' in the park. As luck had it, we not only found lions, but also a rare sighting of a leopard sleeping in a tree, the carcass of a recent kill hanging beside it, a Cheetah with a small cub next to the road, as well as hippos, several hyenas, male lions sleeping atop rock outcroppings and a mother lion and cubs perched above us on a large rock idly observing us as we observed them. Just when we thought we couldn't top those, we came across two female lions and several cubs devouring a zebra they had recently killed. Amazing! And all in just one afternoon!
Cleopa used his skills as a guide, along with his network of friends and colleagues, to find where the wildlife was, and the best spots to take great photos. He even stopped to help another guide change a flat tire, and was always willing to lend a hand when needed.
Our accommodation while in the Serengeti, Tamba Tent Camp, was very comfortable and we enjoyed dining in the large main hall. The food was terrific and the staff were wonderful. They also had a lovely pool which was very refreshing after a long hot day in the vehicle.
Our trip continued with lunch amidst the Great Migration (amazing!), a long drive across the Olduvai Gorge, on to the Ngorongoro Crater and eventually to our last stop at Lake Manyara. We continued to see incredible sights all along the way and our accomodations, Lion's Paw in the Crater and Best View Lodge at Lake Manyara were top notch with incredible views and the nicest people!
Cleopa continued to find amazing wildlife moments, great lunch spots, and washrooms just in time! He always made us feel safe and his knowledge of wildlife behavior was impressive, to say the least.
If you are looking for a safari company who can meet all of your needs, wants and desires for an amazing trip to Tanzania and all of its wondrous sights, I highly recommend Soul of Tanzania! And, ask for Cleopa to be your guide. . . he's the best!

Avoid it at any time
I am sharing my experience transparently, as I believe it's important for others considering this tour operator.
For a 7-day safari, I paid over $9000 USD. Based on my experience, I felt the value received was significantly below what I anticipated, making it a deeply disappointing trip.
As an experienced traveler who has visited over 60 countries, this particular journey stands out as my most challenging and unsatisfactory travel experience to date. My personal belief, given what occurred, is that I was misled regarding the quality of the service.
Based on my personal experience, I would strongly caution others to thoroughly research and consider alternatives before booking.
I am available to provide further details that could potentially assist others in making informed decisions.
Sincerely,
François

Excellent, knowledgeable, beautiful!
I booked a one week trip in Tanzania. Our guide Moris was absolutely amazing. He is very knowledgeable and answered all of our questions. He’s an expert in navigating the parks. We went to Serengeti, Ngorongoro, and Tarangire. It was an amazing experience. Beautiful country and amazing people. We saw all big 5 and many other animals and birds. Moris made it entertaining as he told us many facts about the animals we saw. Highly recommend. We traveled as a family with 2 and 11 years old.

Thank you Soul of Tanzania and Morris
After our 4-day trip in Kenya, we continued our journey in Tanzania. Morris was our guide. He was extremely experienced, and his humor made the trip more fun. He took us to Serengeti, and we were lucky to see wildebeests migrating to Maasai Mara on the road TWICE! We
experienced the serenity of the Ngorongoro Crater in the early morning and spotted black rhinos there! We also got to taste the local food, and it was delicious! The visit to a Maasai village was definitely another highlight of our trip. We saw many baobab trees in Tarangire National Park in addition to many animals. Morris was very helpful and resourceful, and he definitely enriched our Tanzania trip.
Thank you, Morris!

Excellent and very professional
We chose to go on safari with Soul of Tanzania based on recommendations from friends, and we're thrilled because it was undoubtedly one of the best experiences of our lives. Soul of Tanzania is owned by a Portuguese man. I arranged the safari via email with Mr. Soul of Tanzania. We did the one-day safari in Tarangire. Our guide was incredible, attentive to every detail, searching for the best spots to see the animals up close, and even seeking out the most difficult-to-see animals so we could have that moment. We are very grateful for their dedication and for making it an incredible experience. Many thanks to the entire Soul of Tanzania team.

Safari of a lifetime with the best guide, Deo!
We just returned from the most unforgettable safari in Tanzania, and we couldn’t have asked for a better guide than Deo. From the moment we met him, it was clear we were in the best hands.
Deo is not only incredibly knowledgeable about the wildlife and landscapes of Tanzania but he’s also one of the most genuine, kind-hearted people we’ve ever met. Every day he showed up perfectly prepared ready to give us the experience of a lifetime.
We saw everything we could’ve hoped for, lions, elephants, leopards, rhinos, giraffes, and more, and we know that much of that was thanks to Deo’s sharp eye and deep understanding of animal behaviour. He was patient, thoughtful, and always made sure we were comfortable and safe.
What started as a guided trip quickly turned into a friendship we’ll carry with us for life. Deo, you made this journey more meaningful than we could’ve imagined. Thank you for sharing your country, your knowledge, and your heart with us.
Asante sana!

One of the most amazing trips o my life.
One of the most amazing trips of my life.
June 2025
We did a 6 day safari with Unlimited Expeditions - The Soul of Tanzania, and what an experience. My wife arranged the trip with the help of Filipa who was great. Planning the trip around the time we wanted to spend and the quality of accommodation we wanted.
Simon, our guide for the week was amazing, his knowledge of the animals, parks and roads (most of which need some serious skill to navigate) was awesome. We felt completely safe and looked after throughout our adventure.
We stayed in the higher level accommodation, all of which were fantastic. The food was great, but all very similar from lodge to lodge. Modern European with a three course meal with a meat fish or vegetarian main course option in the evening. Breakfast was OK but not on par with the selection you would get in similar priced 5 star hotel in Europe, which is understandable considering the smaller amount of guests and not wanting to create waste. Each Lodge/hotel packs you a picnic lunch for the following day. You wont go hungry. Drinks were included in our lodges which was nice although we didn’t want to drink too much as each morning was an early start to catch as much wildlife as we could.
Thanks to Simons knowledge we saw the big 5 and had some magical and intimate experiences with the animals. From our experience I can’t recommend Unlimited Expeditions - The Soul of Tanzania and Simon enough.
