The tour was amazing! It was our first time in Africa and we truly had an unforgettable experience. We spent so much time looking for wild animals and it was such a wholesome and fun experience. Our tour operator, Ali, was hilarious and very knowledgeable and made sure we were comfortable during the entire safari. Definitely would recommend this tour group, and especially our tour guide Ali!

Personable and swift service
Excellent, personable and professional service. Travelled with my wife and 3yo son. We had queried about various lodges and the prices and had to make changes along the way. All these numerous requests were met swiftly by the service oriented team. Even went the extra mile in various situations and continued to wow us. We certainly enjoyed our trip and the credit has to be given to Gems!

Excellent
I’ve traveled all over the world and have probably taken 75 tours where a guide was needed and our guide, Hasheem, was in the top 5. He made our vacation exceptionally wonderful. I can’t begin to imagine this trip without him.

Prefect 5d Safari covering all expectations
Really great safari experience, well organised and flexible to adapt to everybody’s needs. Driver was very experienced and informative and food was always fresh and delicious (no lunch boxes). More than enough game viewing time to not only see the „Big Five“ but a vast amount of different animals. Strongly recommend to opt for a couple of days longer and include Serengeti. This was more than a perfect add-on to my Kilimanjaro Trek. Thanks a lot to the whole Suricata Team, in particular to Hilary, Ally, Mandela, Leouis and Salim. You all made my day. Choosing this company is a no-brainer, just go for it!

Wonderful Safari Experience with Family!
We went on a 7-day private safari with Wakanda in July '22 - 2 adults and 2 teens. We had a fabulous time. Bartho was very responsive to my many questions, and also made sure he met us early in the Safari and before we left, which was a nice touch.
Andrew was our safari guide the whole time and he is outstanding! He is extremely funny and easy to talk with and extremely knowledgeable. Every time we found any animal, reptile or bird he would grab a guide book and share so we could learn more. He told about life and culture in Tanzania and included his personal life stories. We were sad to say goodbye to him!
Dulleh made fabulous meals for us three times a day... think a fresh loaf of bread with every dinner that we would gobble down with amazing first course soups and then have to continue to stuff ourselves with all the additional courses and choices that continued to come out! One teen is a picky vegetarian and she was very happy with our meals.
The 7-day safari was fun- we spent 6 of the days going through the various parks and focused on animals, birds, etc., but the last day included a hike up to a beautiful waterfall through an amazing coffee (and other) farming community, then learning about the coffee bean harvest to coffee making process and then on to a fun little water-hole made from warm springs. It was nice to include the additional time spent exploring much of what Tanzania has to offer.
You will spend some nights in a tent (they provide the sleeping bag, and pad!), and some in a sweet little backpacking lodge (Fig Tree), where they hosts are very friendly.
I highly recommend the experience through Wakanda Serengeti!

Professional and super helpful
I did the 1 day tarangire NP and it was amazing. Good vibe, excellent guide. They made it such a good trip. I only booked it with them the night before since I was staying in the hostel from the company, so they arranged everything on the spot.
The hostel itself ‘ better in’ in moshi is so noce to stay at as well. Just a cool place to relax.
They also arrange tours to the kilimanjaro with good explanation beforehand by the guide.
Recommend working with them for sure!

Memorable Safari with an incredible guide Edwin
We are a family of 5 and just returned from a memorable safari in Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro, where we've spent 6 days.
Even before the start of the safari, the experience with the safari design was very good, and credits to Jose. Since my first contact, the answers were swift, always very clear and aiming to please our requests. I also found interesting the packages “comfort”, “exclusive”, etc … it’s easy to understand and reflect well the different options.
The Safari was an incredible experience, everything was according to our expectations and went very smooth. A big part due to Edwin, our guide. We’ve seen an unbelievable number of animals 30+ lions, 50+ elephants, 4 cheetahs, 3 leopards, hyenas, giraffes, hundreds of zebras, Thomson's gazelles, wildebeests, etc … … truly remarkable! We’ve found Edwin to be a very talented guide. His knowledge of all animals and Serengeti is absolutely amazing, sounding like a real “encyclopedia”. His relationship skills were fantastic, both with me and my wife, but specially with our kids as he created a friendly mood, that was precisely what we were looking for in our vacation. A big, big thank you to Edwin!
All the accommodations were great, but the ones in the middle of the savannah were amazing - Acacia Luxury Camp, Acacia Migration Camp and Nimali (this last one, superb). The food and beverages were very good and prepared with care. We found all the staff to be super friendly and made us always feel at home - thank you to all of them.
Summing up, it was an incredible experience for all our family and we will definitely recommend Soul of Tanzania.

The best overall experience possible. Would not change a thing. A+++
The entire experience was beyond my expectations. A true A+++ experience. From the greeting by Jessica, our coordinator to... meeting our guide, Joseph, who made us feel so welcome (Karibu Sana in Swahili :)) the entire trip... to the attention to detail for amazing lodging, a great safari vehicle and family+VIP experience... Sassabi provides not just a safari but a true once in a lifetime experience. Every point of interaction comes from genuinely caring about their clients and treating them like family and VIPs. Our guide and driver, Joseph, was thoughtful, careful and willing to accommodate whenever he could; he also shared his professional experience (super knowledgeable about the land, animals, history and interesting facts) and wisdom to help us understand the best use of our time. His attitude of top notch professionalism and hakuna matata was perfect combination. The Hhando Lodge between Karatu and the Ngorongoro park entrance is one of the best eco conscious, clean, beautiful, wonderfully laid out (property and rooms) and staffed by amazing people who are just the right amount of making sure you have what you need and host with a heart of making sure you are taken care of... like family. My understanding is that Sassabi has only the best lodges/accommodations they partner with so I believe Hhando Lodge represents what Sassabi chooses.
I can't think of one thing I would change for a better safari experience. It was a 100+++ experience. Thank you to the entire Sassabi team. Sassabi cares about you, your journey (safari is the word for trip/journey in Swahili :)) and making sure you have the best possible experience.
PROFESSIONAL. CARING. EXTRA EFFORT. ATTENTION TO DETAIL. FAMILY+VIP EXPERIENCE. SAFE. KNOWLEDGEABLE. AMAZING.
I am very confident you will truly enjoy your experience with Sassabi and feel like you're with the best outfit that cares about you and delivers the best all around experience and a once in a lifetime experience!!!
