An amazing, memorable journey of a lifetime!
There aren't enough superlatives to describe the extraordinary trip we had on our 7 day Tanzanian safari on March 22, 2019. We were an assorted family group of 6 traveling together, having spent several days in Arusha prior to our safari. Soul of Tanzania has perfected the model for providing the greatest opportunity for experiencing the wonders of the African landscape and wildlife with exemplary service that exceeded our expectations. They were very generous in providing services outside our expected plan.
Our itinerary included Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro Crater, Ndutu, and the Serengeti. My interactions with Helena when booking either by email or phone were especially helpful because she understood our wants and needs and could suggest choices for the best possible itinerary and accommodations. When thrown some last minute changes, she never missed a beat and accommodated us, seemingly unnerved by our new requirements. Soul of Tanzania offers diverse kinds of accommodations based on the travelers' preferences and we were especially impressed with the unique Gibbs Farm near Ngorongoro Crater and Olakira Camp in the Ndutu region.
You will not be disappointed with the many game drives on this tour, there were Big Five animals it seemed, around every bend that our driver expertly spotted. Literally dozens of other species of birds and animals were also pointed out and identified for us. Our hot lunches, complete with red or white wine, dessert and coffee, were the envy of tour groups from other companies.
Edward, our guide/driver was the best of the best!! He was very knowledgeable, his English was impeccable, he was very accommodating and professional, but at the same time, very engaging and fun to spend our days with. It seems all tour groups fall in love with their drivers, but we believe that Edward stands above his peers and has set the standard that Soul of Tanzania has achieved. His love for being a guide in this area shows through in all that he says and does for his clients.
Look no further for a travel agency if you are planning a trip to this region.

Incredible
Bright Safaris made it so easy for my group and I to go on Safari + visit the Rhino Sanctuary. We didn't have to do anything but show up and pay. We saw every type of animal imaginable while getting a really authentic experience. Meddy was our tour guide and knew so much about the animals and great local places to stop on the way to the park. My favorite part was the boat up the Nile to hike Murchison Falls- highly recommend.
10/10 experience!

A wonderful adventurous time in Tanzania
It was smooth arrangements and back and forth emails with Mr. Remsi, then finally, we met at the international airport.

Solo Safari at Nairobi National Park
Even before I had decided to book this trip, I had been chatting with Simon the owner of the business over WhatsApp, He was very helpful and very quick at responding. I was worried at first about it being a solo booking and a female that it might be a mistake. But I am so glad I booked it, it was worth the extra cost. I had the whole van to myself and I could move around freely in the vehicle. I was met by Sammy at my hotel very promptly and we were at the park and in by 7am. Within five minutes of being in the park we were watching a pack of lion hunting buffalo. It was incredible. Then we drove around and I got to see the landscape away from the rest of the crowds! I was worried that it would be very much like follow the leader and to see who could get the closest the the animals. But not at all we were by ourselves for the most of the time. We saw so many different types of animal and even got to see a rare black rhino! Sammy was very informative about the animals. After about 5 hours in the pack we made our way back to my hotel. I would recommend this company again for sure and perhaps if I am ever back in Kenya again I would try out some of the other locations.

Great experience and great value
I did a 3-day safari at the end of March and was very happy about the whole experience. Communication was excellent and everything panned out exactly as planned. The Masai Mara is an incredible, unforgettable place. The drive to and from the reserve, as well as the 10+ hours spent roaming around on the second day, are tough - but it's a price worth paying to witness the beauty of the Mara and it's incredible wildlife. I absolutely recommend Kibera

Incredibly beautiful 4 days, breathtaking wildlife with a very competent safari guide
We, my husband and I, started our safari early in the morning with our guide. Barely arrived in Tsavo East Dicky drove us to the best places to see directly elephants, zebras and lions. Our expectations many animals would be exceeded. Our guide Dicky also informed us about the lifestyle of each observed animal. Driving through Tsavo East, Amboseli and Tsavo West we also gained a lot of insights into people's culture. The lodges for the nights were luxurious and the food very delicious and a feast for the eyes. All in all, the safari was a very enriching and fantastic experience. We look forward to the next safari with Dicky! Many thanks for everything !! :)

Devine Gorilla Trek with Devine Africa Safaris
I had the opportunity to visit Rwanda last December when I came with my family to visit my sister for the Christmas holidays ans we also decided to do do a Gorilla Trek as this has been one thing that I have been hoping to do for a long time.
My sister knew Nicholas and she helped arrange everything for us. The experience is second to none. The hike is a bit strenuous and it was raining but when we finally found a huge family of Gorillas all the strain was forgotten in an instant.
Such a lovely sight of a huge male, several females and babies just there eating leaves and kind of posing for the numerous photos that we took.
I am glad to have met this company because they charge very fairly in comparisson to the international operators and are very skilled, well educated and informed making them perfect guides.
