A dream come true thanks to Soul of Tanzania.
Without a doubt, it was a memorable experience! For me, the entire process was planned to ensure the best possible outcome, and we all left the experience very satisfied.
It all started with choosing the company that would provide us with this experience. The way Soul of Tanzania offers its services—and, in particular, the personalized attention that Jose C. gave me—were decisive factors in my choice. I appreciate the transparency, the patience in answering my questions, and all the details you shared; it really made a difference.
Another highlight was our guide, Stanley. I confess I had some concerns about who the guide would be, his level of experience, and how dedicated he would be to ensuring we had the best possible experience. Fortunately, he was exactly what I was looking for. First, he was always very careful behind the wheel, practicing defensive driving and taking great care. He was deeply committed to providing us with the best experience, always striving to show us the animals in the best possible way and persisting in the search for specific animals or moments of wildlife that we hadn't yet seen. Thanks to this, we were able to see the "Big Five" and many other memorable moments.
The hotels met our expectations, with the Ngorongoro Rim Lodge and Malaika standing out as the best.
The days in Zanzibar also met our expectations, from the quality of the hotel and the care of the drivers during transfers to the beauty of the beach.
Perhaps the only point to be improved is the flight between the Serengeti and Zanzibar, with Auric Air. The flight was delayed, and we had a layover and a connection, which meant that we only arrived in Zanzibar after 1:30 pm, losing precious time. Originally, the arrival was scheduled for 11:40 am.
For the rest, memorable! Thanks Soul of Tanzania for allowing us to live this dream with the best possible service.

Wonderful experience
I did a 5-day safari camping trip and it was absolutely wonderful.
Our driver, Steve, was super helpful and kind. He explained a lot about the environment and the animals, and answered all my questions. If I return, I'll definitely ask for him.
Suricata took care of everything: transportation, all meals, and tents. I highly recommend them to anyone visiting Tanzania.

Joseph was an outstanding safari guide and made our experience truly unforgettable.
Joseph was an outstanding safari guide and made our experience truly unforgettable. His knowledge of the wildlife, birds, and the ecosystem was incredible, and he was always happy to answer our questions with enthusiasm. He had an amazing eye for spotting animals that we would have completely missed on our own.
What really stood out was his professionalism, patience, and passion for what he does. He made every game drive exciting while always making us feel safe and comfortable. Thanks to him, we were able to see so many incredible animals and learn so much about Tanzania and its wildlife.
If you’re looking for a knowledgeable, friendly, and dedicated safari guide, I can’t recommend Joseph highly enough. Thank you for making our safari such a memorable experience!

If you want to make the most of your safari experience, I highly recommend this tour.
The guides and staff were all very friendly and professional. They kept to the schedule and managed the entire tour exactly as promised. The meals were delicious, and we were especially impressed by how hard our guide worked to help us spot all of the Big Five—we were lucky enough to see every one of them! Overall, the itinerary was well organized, offered great value for money, and made for a truly enjoyable safari experience. I highly recommend Jocky Tours and Safaris.

Excellent and unforgettable time!
The safari was an unforgettable experience with our guide Edward! He was very experienced, we saw a lot of animals and he gave us many information about it. Also the service was perfect and everything went very well. The food in the camps was very delicious and the people were all very friendly. We were in Ngorongoro, Central Serengeti, Northern Serengeti and the Tarangire Nationalpark.
I would immediately do it again!

Unforgettable, amazing Safari experience!
We had a perfect time, saw luckily all big five and also the great migration at Mara River :-)
Accommodation was good and the food very tasty. We were surprised to have even WiFi in remote camps.
Specials thanks to our guide Edi Frank. He is very experienced guide with much knowledge about wildlife, but also a very careful and safe driver. We felt comfortable at any time and shared a great week full of unforgettable moments together.

Masai Mara Safari & Enchoro Wildlife Camp Review
Overall Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (4/5)
Location: Masai Mara National Reserve, Kenya
Tour Operator: Easy Budget Safaris
Camp: Enchoro Wildlife Camp
Outstanding Tour Operator & Field Guide
My safari experience in the Masai Mara was incredible, and a huge part of that success goes to our tour operator, Easy Budget Safaris, and our amazing driver-guide, Charles.
* Easy Budget Safaris: They were excellent and highly responsive, providing truly friendly and caring customer service. When I raised the issues we faced at the camp with them, they were immediately apologetic and took full accountability, assuring me they would look into the matter to ensure everything was resolved.
* Charles (Driver-Guide): He is deeply knowledgeable, highly professional, and genuinely cares about his tourists, constantly encouraging and supporting us throughout the journey.
* Wildlife Highlights: We were fortunate enough to witness the spectacular wildebeest migration, spot four of the Big Five (all except the rhinos), and see the fascinating "Ugly Five." Every moment on the safari drives was unforgettable.
At the camp itself, Simon (one of the staff members) stood out for being exceptionally helpful and cordial. The tents were clean, comfortable, and had a reliable electricity supply.
Areas for Improvement: Camp Management & Facilities
Unfortunately, the Enchoro Wildlife Camp management falls well short of the excellence provided by the field staff and Easy Budget Safaris—representing a noticeable decline from my previous experience here back in 2016.
We encountered functional issues in both our toilet and shower facilities. While management did relocate us to a new tent after we complained, it raises serious concern about what would have happened had the camp been fully booked with no vacant tents available.
Furthermore, the WiFi connectivity was abysmal. On our first day, there was no connection at all, with staff promising it would be fixed by the next day. On day two, we finally received a signal, but it was far too weak to send even basic text messages. By day three, despite sitting alone in the dining lounge trying to get a stable connection, it failed entirely—even getting stuck while trying to load pictures to send back to family.
Final Verdict
I would highly recommend Easy Budget Safaris and guide Charles to anyone planning a trip to the Mara. However, I would not recommend Enchoro Wildlife Camp solely due to its weak management and poor infrastructure/WiFi.

Great Safari with Simon and Godfrey
Amazing 8 days on safari with Safari Soles in the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater. The parks themselves are incredible, but what made them even better was our excellent guide Simon and chef Godfrey. Simon was extremely professional, knowledgeable, a great driver and always went the extra mile to make sure we were satisfied and comfortable. Simon listened attentively to what we wanted to see at the start of the trip and did his best to deliver on this.
As we were camping for most of the trip we had a private chef, Godfrey, who prepared the most delicious gourmet dishes for us, having 3 hot meals a day (with at least 3-4 dishes each time) was truly incredible - other groups often looked over to our table in envy! The camping experience was great, with clean and spacious equipment provided and everything taken care of for us. The Jeep was comfortable, cleaned everyday and had a fridge and power outlets to charge our phones and cameras (much needed given the thousands of pictures we took). Beatrice our sales consultant was great, providing valuable advice and answering our many questions and accommodating our many itinerary changes up to the last minute. There was a small hiccup with the itinerary on one of the days, however the company took responsibility and rectified the issue to our satisfaction.
All in all, a fantastic experience and I would recommend booking with Safari Soles (and asking for Simon as guide and Godfrey as chef).
