Soul of Tanzania takes care of everything, you just need to enjoy your safari. Strongly recommended!
5/5

We could not recommend Soul of Tanzania more! We had the perfect safari thanks to Jose, our journey designer, and George, our guide. Jose, thank you very much for all your patience in answering all of our inquiries and for ensuring that all the bookings are in order - everything was flawless and stress-free. All we needed to do is enjoy the friendly people of Tanzania, the beautiful nature, and the animals.

If you travel, make sure you ask for George, you cannot ask for a better guide. He is extremely knowledgeable when it comes to nature, animals, as well as the history and culture of Tanzania. We felt like we are traveling with a professor, we learned so much. George also went out of his way to ensure we have a good time, finding the best spots for lunch (even if it required driving to hard-to-reach areas) and making additional or longer stops so we can enjoy the nature and the animals on our own schedule while also keeping us on time. We saw all the animals we wanted to see (lions, leopard, elephants, zebras, rhinos, hyenas, monkeys and many more) While this is partially down to luck, George's knowledge of the parks certainly helped (we still do not know how he never got lost in the parks without using a map or a GPS!). Thank you, George, for this once-in-a-lifetime experience, you really made it special!

We strongly recommend that you book with Soul of Tanzania. Without having a journey designer like Jose, and a guide like George, you will spend a lot of time organizing your trip, which will not be easy as in order to book the best lodges, you really need to know the area. Going to a park without a local guide will guarantee that you will not see most animals, as you will not be able to go off the main roads without getting lost and you will not get the information from other guides. Make sure you budget for tips for both your guide and the lodges. People go out of their way to make you feel welcome and at home, you will want to show your appreciation (just consider it part of the cost of the trip).

Tip: If you end up booking a hotel/lodge of your own choice, make sure you cross-check its reputation with Soul of Tanzania, as there are hotels/lodges that do not treat guides well (low-quality accommodation and food) and therefore should be avoided. You can ask Soul of Tanzania if all the hotel choices you made are endorsed by the guides.

All in all, we would not change anything about our trip in retrospect. In fact, we had such a good time that we want to do another safari in 1-2 years again. We will certainly do it with Soul of Tanzania and ask for Jose and George.

Amazing
5/5

Our honeymoon with Soul of Tanzania was amazing. Sandy our journey designer was very patient, answered all our questions and made incredible suggestions. Our guides were incredible, Rodrick in Tanzania felt like a friend, they made our experience really good. The camps, hotels and lodges exceeded our expectations. Soul of Tanzania was definitely the best choice for such and special trip.

Reaching the stars
5/5

We made a trip with 4 children, aged 2 years old to 13 years and it was the unforgettable trip of your lifetime!
The service staff was incredible, Fidelice our driver was so knowledgeable, kind and attention towards our needs. Food was excellent. The trip in itself was in a very nice car, comfortable. We all enjoyed it so much. Spotting the big 5', reaching the stars in our mind! All what we wanted! The emotional part of it, is when you realize that everything is perfect and it's holidays! Now looking for our next adventure with them to get the same thrill we got! The professionalism they all dedicated to make this trip incredible, is mind blowing. It was above all our expectations. People were genuinely nice and not pushy. Loved it :)

Exceptional 7 days of Safari!!
5/5

Amazing client service, from the beginning (and we started to plan this trip 9 months in advance) until the very last moment. Fast replaying easy contact.
Our guide, Albert, an absolute professional with extremely knowledge about animals, nature, and people, makes this trip even more memorable.
the lunch picnic, very good, differ based on the camp that you are staying in, but always hot, with some things to choose from, and wine to make it nicer.

We would definitely recommend the Soul of Tanzania to any of our friends and colleagues who would think to go for the Sarafi.

5/5

The perfect trip. My wife and I went to Tanzania with Soul of Tanzania for our Honey Moon. It couldn't be better. We could see all animals that we could imagine and more. Our guide (Samir) was the perfect mate, a professional that can see an interesting moment from miles away. We won't forget this trip ever. So far, it has been the best experience of our lifes.

Above and beyond
5/5

Hi Luis,

Hope you are doing well.
I would like to say a big thanks to you for your excellent customer service, in preparing our Safari Itinerary making our long waiting safari dream come true. I am very impressed with your professionalism, especially about your dynamism in communication, will always recommend you and your company Soul Safari to others.

Onesimo, our Safari guide/ driver is above and beyond, in every aspect, and words alone are not enough to explain his down-to-earth customer service with excellent professionalism. Let me confess, we enjoyed every moment with him during our Safari Tour and though it was a big challenge to see lions at Tarangarie Nationational park, Onesimo ( the driver) went the extra mile in the park to surmount the challenge and we were able to see 2 lions at Tarangire National park.

Soul Safari is top of the class.
Highly recommended

5/5

We have just experienced a 9-day tour arranged by Luis, taking in Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro, Serengeti and Zanzibar the whole Safari was expertly managed, well-executed, and made most enjoyable by our superb Local Guide, "Samir", who was very knowledgeable, a charming companion, and had a nice sense of humour! He could not have done more for us and made sure that what we asked for we got, he went out of his way to see that we had the very Best 60th Wedding Anniversary adventure that it was possible to have! 'Soul of Tanzania' and 'Samir' have our greatest recommendations for an unforgettable Adventure

Experience of a Lifetime, thanks to Soul of Tanzania!
5/5

My wife and I decided to go to Tanzania after almost 2 years of no travel due to COVID. I had never been on a safari (or even to Africa) before, but my wife had gone on 3 shorter safaris so I was excited for us to do this together. I did a lot of research and found Soul of Tanzania to be a top contender. I am SO glad I went with them and while the 5 day, 4 night tour seemed like it might be a lot- each day brought us something new, exciting, and breathtaking.

1) Our Guide- Our guide, Mr. Wilson, was hands down one of the best tour operators I've ever had the pleasure of working with and was definitively a key reason our experience was as amazing as it was. He was knowledgable to no end (wildlife yes of course, but also politics, history, economy, etc). His ability to spot wildlife from near and far then put is in a position to best view it time after time was truly one of the factors that made our trip spectacular. He was beyond patient, we were never an inconvenience to him and he knew how to cater to our needs, wishes, and preferences. Lastly, his laugh, positive spirit, endless energy, and genuinely warm heart could be felt by all we encountered. His Landcruiser was clean, well stocked, and comfortable.

2) The food- Your food at the hotel will of course be reflective of the options you pick, but the lunch served with SoT was beyond anything I would have expected for a "picnic lunch". We ate at similar sights as other tour groups and you could see everyone jealous of our 4 course hot meal, served with wine and coffee, on real plates.

3) Overall service- SoT was extremely communicative, answered my numerous questions prior to booking, and continued communications up til the time of pick up.

You may see (mostly) the same animals and landscape regardless of the tour operator you go with, but I genuinely think our experience was better than others because we booked with Soul of Tanzania. The 5 day, 4 night tour is just enough to spend time in the Serengeti while also seeing another park (we saw Lake Manyara because of the time of year) and the Ngorongoro Crater. We saw 40-50 different species of animals and birds EACH DAY (total of nearly 100 unique species) and literally saw thousands of animal.

It's been 3 months and I still can't stop raving about this to friends and family. Do yourself a favor and book a safari with Soul of Tanzania!!

5/5

Just fabulous and unforgettable!!!
My husband our two boys and I spent an amazing five days in the middle of nowhere.
Our guide Georges was incredible. He knew everything regarding wildlife and flora.
He was very nice and discreet. He was with us in Lake Manyara , Ngorongoro Crater and Serengeti Park. He spoke fluent in French.

Soul of Tanzania answered all questions we had and helped us with everything: visas, country information, Covid form and above all accommodation, entries to parks, the guide and our special requests.

Our dream came true!
