Magical trip to Tanzania + Zanzibar
We recently returned from a two-week vacation coordinated by Soul of Tanzania, and it was an incredible experience from start to finish. We did the 7-day safari with the Zanzibar add-on afterward. During the safari we visited Tarangire National Park, the Ngorongoro Crater, the Ndutu region, and the Central Serengeti.
One thing we especially appreciated was Soul of Tanzania’s flexibility with our itinerary. They allowed us to stay at a mix of luxury lodges and tented camps, which made the experience feel both comfortable and adventurous.
All of our accommodations, airport transfers, and safari logistics were perfectly scheduled. From the moment we landed in Kilimanjaro, everything was seamless and well organized, and we never had to worry about the details. It allowed us to simply relax and enjoy the experience.
Most importantly, our guide, Wilson, was an absolute class act. Born and raised in Tanzania, his wealth of knowledge and experience was truly exceptional. It was clear that even out on safari he was highly respected by the other guides we encountered. Throughout the trip he made us feel completely safe and well taken care of.
We were also incredibly fortunate with wildlife sightings. We saw every animal we had hoped to see—and many more. Wilson even started calling our group “the lucky six” because of how many amazing sightings we had throughout the safari.
What made the experience even more special was the connection he formed with my 10-year-old son. They built such a great bond over the course of the trip that my son actually cried when it was time to say goodbye.
That’s the thing about a trip like this—you simply can’t fully put into words how magical the experience is.

Well organized and extremely professional.
We enjoyed a 3 generation family tour with Soul of Tanzania - 7 days February, 2026. Our guide, Wilson is the absolute best!
The tour was extremely well organized. All transfers, accommodations and communication were managed expertly.
Every day on safari with Wilson was incredible. His driving skills are fantastic and his knowledge of the wildlife, geography, and culture enriched our vacation in so many ways. I especially appreciate his interest and rapport with our 9 year old grandson. Thank you!
Everything perfectly Hand-picked
From the initial contact via email to the last day of travel everything was perfectly hand-picked, communications were always easy, the tour guides were wise and helpful. A great shout out for our wise safari guide, Wilson.

Perfect Safari
We were genuinely happy to have loved our experience with Soul of Tanzania.
Congratulations to the excellent, competent, and always helpful guides, and for the excellent organization of the trip.
Your guides have a feeling and an eye for spotting an animal from a long distance. FANTASTIC.
They know how to create a very friendly atmosphere with the client.
It's a good thing we went during the "off-season," because at one point there were almost 50 jeeps "on top" of one animal.
The staff, as well as the service at the accommodations, was always impeccable.
It's good to feel that our money was well spent on this trip, which will certainly remain in our memories forever.
This victory is something no one can take away from you or from us.
Our children and grandchildren say they want to come on the next safari too.
Thank you very much.

Amazing
We just finished a five full-day tour in Tarangire, Ngorongoro, and Serengeti. Our guide was Julieth and things couldn’t have been better: great weather, so many animals, and the best guide ever. We had so many amazing experiences that were driven by Julieth’s experience and knowledge. We learned a ton, took hundreds of pictures of animals, and made memories that will stay with us for a lifetime. The only thing we would add is that late January is the perfect time due to all of the animal babies and fewer tourists. Thank you Soul of Tanzania and especially Julieth!

Trip of a lifetime.
We had an amazing experience!! We did the 8 day Tanzania tour. We spent time at Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Serengeti, Ngorogoro Crater and Lake Eyasi. We had Sammy (Samwel) as our guide. He was the best!!! Funny, kind, informative and helpful in every way. We felt like family. We asked to change our last day at the last minute and he drove us around Arusha and we got to see where he grew up and MT Kilimanjaro in the distance. He was great at spotting animals and we saw the big 5!!! We still yell “Buuuuusshhh Chickens” to this day. Only thing I’d change is skip Lake Eyasi and spend another day in the crater.
Perfect holiday with the perfect driver!!!
Glorious 3 week holiday in Zanzibar and Northern Tanzania!
After not a few forays into East Africa this was the winner ... and all thanks to the people behind the scenes helping us plan like Manuel ...
and the driver who rules them all ... JAMES KAAYA!!!
The variety of places we wanted to go and the experiences we hoped to have all came to life seamlessly, safely and was nothing short of good times with plenty of laughs!
The historic walks through the sites of Zanzibar, the water activities of the ephemeral Indian Ocean, and trek through the monkey-filled forests were a solid introduction to the country.
However the Star of the Show was the safari adventures with James at the wheel!
He possessed an uncanny ability to spot animals from far and near, to make predictions where animals would be when all the other drivers seemed to be clustered in the wrong spots and to get us within what seemed like touching distance of each and every animal of the National Parks and Conservation Areas! We easily ticked every box of our hit list. Lions exceeded 100, cheetahs and leopards by the dozen, gnus in the thousands. James seemed to know people in every park, hamlet, and nondescript backroad we traversed endlessly both giving and receiving tips on where the hot spots were that day.
We passed not a few breakdowns, drivers and despondent looking tourists stuck in muddy ravines and wheels spinning along lakeshores, but our James navigated these obstacles effortlessly, patiently and always kept us safe!
Not only did he never get lost but on several other occasions helped other drivers find their accomadations!
He seemed to have a built-in GPS!
We really felt like we won the Driver Lottery this time!
Well played Mr James Kaaya! And thank you Unlimited Expeditions - Soul of Tanzania! We shall return!

Five star Five day safari
We completed a five day safari across the main parks of Tanzania with Wilson our amazing guide. Wilson knew every animal and where to find them. His 4 x 4 skills would leave top gear in awe. We saw all the top five and more. Lions with babies, hunting and in trees. The accommodation was exceptional and Hugo's planning and communication responded to all our needs. The hot lunches in the middle of the parks was under selled as they were chef quality with great service from Wilson.

Incredible and unforgettable.
After much research, we decided to choose The Soul Of Tanzania and we were very happy with it.
The trip was very well organized by Marta, whom I commend here, and exceeded our expectations (Arusha, Kilimanjaro, Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngonrongoro).
We were always well supported from afar and always received feedback whenever we had any questions.
It was quite an adventure! Incredible and unforgettable.
Our driver/guide on the Safari, Maleo (simply the best!), was unbeatable in satisfying our wishes. With a unique sense of humor and contagious joy, the adventure couldn't have been better.
If you want to venture out and go to Tanzania, I recommend this company for its professionalism, honesty and seriousness, and unwavering principles and values.
Thank you to the whole team.
