The best in Victoria Falls!
Arthur is the best! Very attentive and truly makes everything happen. His kindness and patience made the whole process stress-free, and he paid great attention to every detail of my trip, from transfers to activities and timing.
Also a special thanks to Last – together, these guys and their amazing network created the greatest trip I’ve ever had, across both Zambia and Zimbabwe. They listened carefully to what I wanted, adjusted plans when needed, and made sure everything ran smoothly. I felt genuinely cared for the entire time and would absolutely recommend them to anyone planning a trip in the region.
To note: very daily priced.
I plan to come back

Truely going the extra Mile!
We had a wonderful experience with Roko and the rest of his team. One of the main highlights for me was getting to experience the real Tanzania. We visited local markets, saw the village where Roko grew up, and stopped at places where people were preparing BBQ, selling sheep and cows, and milling maize. Moments like these gave us a glimpse into everyday life and made the trip feel very authentic.
That said, the safari itself was also excellent. Roko and Essau (our driver) were great guides—very knowledgeable, good company, and always happy to answer questions. Roko has a amazing eyeside, so he spots the animals way before we even knew they where there. Thanks to him we were able to see all of the Big Five, as well as many other animals. Along the way they shared a lot of interesting information about the animals, the landscape, and the ecosystems, which made the experience even more rewarding.
I believe booking with Roko Safaris gives you a very authentic safari experience. Miranda and Roko tailor the trip to your interests and what you would like to get out of it. If your focus is on seeing the Big Five, that works perfectly. If you are interested in learning more about Maasai culture or visiting local communities, that can also be arranged. They are very flexible and happy to adapt the itinerary.
For me it was a once-in-a-lifetime trip, so many thanks to Roko, Miranda, Essau, and the rest of the team.
Amazing
Sokio was amazing!! He was thoughtful, pleasant and fun. He worked very hard to find the animals and scenes for us. We felt he was trying to get the best views of animal activity for us and he did. We saw 3 mother lions with 6 cubs and watched them for a long time as he kept re- positioning the car. He found every animal in the park. He continued to do this for each park we went to. He was our guide for 4 straight long days. He is very smart and speaks multiple languages and He is very professional. He cleaned the car before each day and restocked food. He opened the door for me and made sure we were comfortable and our needs were met!! What a truly lovely person. I plan to tell my friends and family to request him!

Excellent
We spent five truly amazing days with Omari frim Bobby Camping , and we could not have asked for a better guide. He exceeded all our expectations. A close family friend had recommended Bobby Camping to us, and now we completely understand why.
With more than 25 years of experience, Omari has incredible knowledge of the park. He knows exactly where to go and has eyes like no other, he spots animals that most people would easily miss. Thanks to him, we were almost always in the best possible position for sightings, often experiencing incredible moments that others could only hear about later on the radio.
Omari was also always happy to share his knowledge. He explained the animals’ behaviour, the ecosystem, and the landscape in a very engaging way, which made the experience even more special.
During our safari we were lucky enough to see baby elephants, baby giraffes, baby lions, baby zebras, baby wildebeest, and even a baby cheetah. Over the five days we saw 34 lions in total, as well as thousands of zebras and wildebeest migrating across the plains.
Omari made us feel safe, relaxed, and happy throughout the entire trip. No matter how long the day was, even after driving more than eight hours he was always cheerful, patient, and enthusiastic.
The entire Bobby Camping team was also incredibly welcoming and professional. They organized our transport from the airport to our hotel and arranged a magical day in Arusha, which was the perfect way to start our adventure.
It was truly an unforgettable experience, and we would highly recommend both Omari and Bobby Camp to anyone planning a safari in Tanzania.

Very Disappointing Experience
Our experience with Soul of Tanzania was extremely disappointing. What was meant to be a once-in-a-lifetime safari trip travelling with friends who were celebrating their honeymoon turned into a stressful and poorly managed situation.
Despite paying the full tour cost upfront, a large part of the Tanzanian portion of the itinerary was never delivered due to civil unrest and a government-mandated border closure, so circumstances completely outside of our control. Rather than working toward a fair outcome, the company placed the financial responsibility entirely on us.
As a result, we lost over USD $10,000 for services that were never provided, and were even charged for add-ons that we never received. When we asked for a refund for the undelivered portion of the trip, the company refused and instead relied strictly on cancellation policies.
Communication throughout the situation was very poor. Our urgent messages were largely ignored while conditions around us escalated.
During a time of confirmed fatalities and increasing unrest, we were left without clear guidance, reliable contact, or emergency support. We were also redirected to a significantly cheaper lodge that we did not choose, while still being expected to absorb the financial loss.
For a company that markets itself as “premium,” the handling of this situation felt dismissive and focused on protecting their policies rather than supporting their customers.
What should have been a special trip with friends celebrating their honeymoon ended up being a deeply frustrating and upsetting experience. Based on how our situation was handled, we would urge others to proceed with caution before booking with Soul of Tanzania.
