Wow, absolutely amazing two weeks, so glad we used Soul of Tanzania.
5/5

What a fabulous two weeks Safari and Beach. Every lodge we stayed was excellent, with a huge warm welcome and excellent service. Our fabulous guide Nico, was brilliant, we saw so much and he listened to everything we wanted to do, and provided a perfect 8 day safari. We had picnic envy most days, as we sat down to a hot meal with wine, coffee and biscuits.

We finished in Zanzibar, in a fabulous hotel, Paradise.

The service we got from the office, who were very patient with us, when helping us with the plan, and the holiday exceeded our expectations.

Thank You

Memorable experience
5/5

It was a memorable experience, they made this trip a dream come true! Everything went perfect according to the plan, and we did notice the difference of services between Soul of Tanzania and other conpanies. What they offer Is wonderful! We don’t regret our decision to do this tour with Soul of Tanzania. The price is worth it!

Solo, our guide is an exceptional person. We enjoyed his company a lot, and he has a special sense for animals, so we got to see a lot of them. He’s also a very good driver! We couldn’t ask for a better guide, and we feel very lucky to have had him with us. This experience was beyond our expectations.

A Surreal Safari
5/5

From my first email to SofT to our very last moment in Zanzibar the care and attention from the staff at Soul was so positive. We are very grateful to Miguel for organising our itinerary - no easy task, every email was promptly answered, good sincere advice given and our needs were met.

Pius,our guide had broad yet deep knowledge of the animals and the environment, we learned so much from Pius. He made us laugh, cared for us and always ensured our comfort safety and wellbeing. Pius was patient and soon realised we were not focussed on the big 5 and we wished to take our time enjoying and understanding the animals and the environment. Yes we did see the big 5 - but oh so much more! He gave us plenty of time to enjoy the animals, birds and the landscape….. Just to breathe and enjoy. Pius was generous with his knowledge and anecdotes allowing plenty of time for photos and for us to really appreciate our time in Tanzania. We left Tanzania with a special place in our heart for this country and our guide Puis. We wish him well and thank him profusely for his time.

SofT encouraged us to visit Lake Eyasi…. So beautiful and peaceful. Of course it is near to the Hadza and Datoga tribes. What a privilege to hunt with the Hadza and visit the Datoga and learn more of their daily life and talent as blacksmiths.

And yes the hot lunches, great coffee, cold wine, fresh cookies and lots of cold water was just a delight. This is a great touch. Well done! Pius made us coffee in some amazing places, allowing us to sit and enjoy our surrounds! Thank you!

SofT also organised our flights to Zanzibar and our stay at Pongwe Beach Hotel and Kisiwa House in Stone Town. the organisation and the hotels were perfect - and our transfer transport was on time every time.

Thank you Miguel for your efforts and to Benedict who came on our first evening to give us a detailed overview of our 9 day safari creating much excitement as we realised this adventure would be beyond our wildest dreams. Our guide Pius was dedicated to giving us his time, knowledge and attention. What a team of caring professionals. We highly recommend Soul of Tanzania.

Fantastic Safari experience
5/5

My husband and I went for our first Safari tour in February. We chose Soul of Tanzania as our tour organizer, which we can only recommend. Everything was from arrival to departure as or above expectations on the tour. The private car was in good condition. Excellent food during the drives, very nice lodges with spectacular views and very friendly personal and not least the company of our driver Roger Msengi. We had been told upfront that he was especially knowledgably about birds which really came to prove itself on the tour. Also prior to the tour, Soul of Tanzania responded immediately on our request and questions. Overall a perfect service and we will definitely recommend for others to use Soul of Tanzania as their tour organizer

5/5

We visited Serengheti, Ngorongoro and Lake Manyara in december 2017. I have to say, Soul of Tanzania made our visit marvellous, excellent. So if you are planning safari trip, I would strongly recommend Soul of Tanzania. They really made our trip unforgettable. They had fulfille every request we made. We were travelling with a little child and everything run smothly. Lodges were great, food also.
Our guide Pius was really nice and kind and great driver and he answered an all our questions about Tanzania, Africa, nature and the most important - animals! We saw elephants, zebras, giraffes, hippos, buffalos, lions, cheetah, and also rhinos, and many many other animals.
If I ever have a chance of visiting Tanzania again, I know that I will be contacting Soul for booking a tour :)

Just excellent! Amazing 16 days Safari Tour at it’s best
5/5

Just excellent! Not to miss if you are planning a safari trip to Tanzania
If you are planning a safari trip to Tanzania, you may find difficult to select a tour company. It took us a lot of effort to select one for our 16 days 20th anniversary trip last January. So glad that we came across Soul of Tanzania!
Everything was planned to the detail, to the best standards.They let you participate in the planning process, with a selection of routes, national parks and lodging. Once there, everything runs very smoothly, starting with a perfect conditioned vehicle and your guide picking you up at the airport, to a extensively informative meeting with Iris Duba, the Operations Manager in Arusha. Cant thank enough her to her assistance all along the 16 days trip. she is available for any questions or issues that may arise.
Our guide, Herman, is just fantastic. An amazing person, very friendly and nice to be with, with an incredible knowledge of wildlife of all sorts. We recommend him to anyone for such an adventure!
Please feel free to contact me here if anybody has questions about this review.

Memories and Stories for Life
5/5

Soul of Tanzania created a fantastic 8 day safari itinerary for us and promptly responded to any questions we emailed prior to our journey.

Never having gone on safari before, we were slightly apprehensive, but all concerns vanished upon arrival when we met Herman, our guide who immediately made us feel welcome and comfortable.

Herman went above and beyond to make our experience beyond anything we could have ever dreamed. He patiently and knowledgeably answered hundreds of questions about the numerous animals we encountered. He enthusiastically searched the bush with his keen eyes all the while driving through rugged terrain to make sure we could witness the animals up close and personal. Had we attempted the trip on our own we would have missed 90% of the animals, but Herman’s skill and incredible instinct allowed us to experience all of the big 5 plus countless others we hadn’t previously heard of in their natural settings. Zoos will never be the same now that we’ve been “infected” with “safari fever”!

A few highlights:

Delicious gourmet lunches surrounded by fantastic scenery.
25 feet from cheetahs and lions
Lunch 50 feet from a pride of 18 female lions and cubs.
Lunch amid a herd of 1000’s of wildebeests and zebras
A herd of elephants playing in a pool of water about 100 feet from our Jeep
Herds of Cape Buffalo, giraffes, baboons, warthogs, and elephants crossing the road before us
Learning about and warm welcomes from the Masai, Dartoga and Hadzabe peoples.

Recently we went on a Safari trip organized by Soul of Tanzania. An amazing experience. All well organized, care-free and made very memorable for us by the representatives of the Soul of Tanzania. From the initial communication to arrange for our journey, to the lodges, parks that they suggested to us, all were amazing and very well- exceeded expectations.
Our guide Dominik Meague was a wonderful guide, very knowledgeable of the area which made our experience so amazing.
We stayed at lodges and tented camps which were absolutely beautiful, amazing scenery of Tanzanian parks and landscape and with very friendly staff
