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.

It was a great safari
My family and I spontaneously decided to go on a safari in Kenya and Tanzania. Everything about our safari went smoothly. Great communication with Job during the planning stage, and later, during the safari, with our drivers. We set off on a 10-day itinerary through Kenya and Tanzania. In Kenya, we had an amazing guide, Nyangesa, and in Tanzania, Tom. They got to see the animals before anyone else and from the best perspective. It was great to see how passionate they were about what they do. After the safari, Job helped arrange our transfer from Arusha to Nairobi, and everything went smoothly there too. We found the communication with Welcome To Africa Trails to be very pleasant and easy, and what's more, they tend to have extra fun with the popular competitors.

They really gave their all and made it possible for us
The tour itself was amazing. We saw all the animals, and overall it was a real adventure. The rainy season did lead to some flooding, but also to a huge number of migrating animals and lush greenery. So, absolutely worthwhile. The organization was fantastic; I lost/forgot my AirPods at one of the accommodations during the safari, and Kilipath made it possible for me to get them back here in Zanzibar. The organization really does everything they can to help. We felt very well taken care of. Highly recommended!

Very keen in making a great experience!
My experience in Uganda, Gorilla tracking, was once in a lifetime kind of experience and I highly recommend it. The accommodations I stayed at were amazing! No notes! The food was great! I had an amazing guide, I learned so much about the country, current events, politics, history, cultural practices from my guide.

Osman and Frank were really good guides, they told us a lot about the animals.
We had an amazing safari experience in Tanzania and would absolutely recommend this team. Our driver, Frank, and our guide, Osman, were both excellent throughout the entire trip. They were very kind, professional, and clearly passionate about what they do.
They always took the time to stop whenever we wanted to take photos and made sure we had the best possible views of the animals. We never felt rushed, and they were very patient and attentive the whole time.
Thanks to them, we were able to enjoy every moment of the safari and learn a lot along the way. Their knowledge and positive attitude made the experience even more special.
A huge thank you to Frank and Osman for making this safari unforgettable. Five stars out of five!

Everything was perfect!
We had an amazing day on safari thanks to our guide Osman and our driver Frank. They were both incredibly kind, professional and made sure we had the best experience possible from start to finish.
Osman was very knowledgeable and shared interesting information about the animals and the park throughout the day. Thanks to him, we were able to see so many animals and learn a lot at the same time. Frank was an excellent driver and navigated the park perfectly so we could get great views while always feeling safe and comfortable.
They both went above and beyond to make sure we were happy and enjoying every moment of the tour. Their enthusiasm and dedication really made the experience special for us.
We are so grateful for such a wonderful safari day and would highly recommend Osman and Frank to anyone visiting Tanzania!

Action packed tour for a great price!
We are 4 students on a very tight budget and we had a great time with alpha dean! We were quoted a great price for our tour by Jemimah, who was super helpful at organising everything and gave us loads of options to find what fitted best with our plans. We settled on a five day tour with two days in the Masai Mara, plus a trip to lake Nakuru and lake naivasha on the way back, driving from Nairobi. They were very helpful in us getting cash out to pay for the tour and other extras along the way. The shared tour ended up being just the 4 of us as it was off season. They offered us an upgrade of vehicle at the last minute for $200 which we didn’t accept, but may offer a more comfortable experience as it was quite a loud & bumpy ride in the mini van. This wasn’t an issue for 4 young guys expecting a budget trip, but if it was full/for those who prefer a slightly calmer experience we’d recommend upgrading! We arrived in the Masai Mara campsite on the first evening after a long drive. The camp had WiFi and great food included for our price bracket, with a nice bar to buy ourselves drinks. We then left early the next morning for a whole day game drive. It was brilliant, our guides Anthony and Dan were experts at navigating the muddy conditions and found us everything from lions to elephants and even a leopard. We also enjoyed a walk along the Mara river with a ranger, making each day feel completely unique. We had an amazing experience both days on the reserve and the rain hardly affected our trip at all. The second evening our car broke down, but the guys dealt with it really well, and we were picked up by another tour guide who looked after us. The guides at alpha dean are friendly with everyone on the Mara and it really shows! The third day was another driving day, with a long trip to Nakuru where we stayed in a lovely hotel. The last day involved a long morning game drive in Nakuru where we saw rhinos and an array of great bird life that we couldn’t see on the Masai Mara. We then finished the tour by driving to lake naivasha where we were able to enjoy a boat ride ($20 pp) and a nature walk (another $20pp). These were brilliant so we’d highly recommend, just be aware that they cost extra. There’s also a strong culture of tipping so make sure to factor that cost in! Overall we had an incredible experience with alpha dean and we’d definitely recommend doing a safari with Jemimah, Anthony, and team in future!
