Phenomenal Experience!
Our safari was so well planned by Brenda and the staff! Our experience started with a clear itinerary & planning resources so that we knew exactly what to expect. Our driver, Leslie, was very kind and extremely knowledgeable. He provided helpful information, was very engaging and entertaining. Our group really enjoyed spending time with him.
Our accommodations were excellent. Our vehicle was really comfortable and Leslie drove in a way that I always felt safe and secure.
I felt like the safari experience was everything we expected and a lot more at a reasonable price.
I would highly recommend Tanzania Choice Safaris to anyone! We thoroughly enjoyed our safari experience.

Non-fussy 4 days/3 night Mt. Kenya
I did the 4 days/3 night Mt. Kenya hike solo with Kelvin as my guide. Kelvin was great, limited English but it was still good. I chose the cheapest option, so camped all 3 nights. The entire trip included a guide and cook. The food was okay (ramen/beans/bread). If you aren't looking for luxury this is a good affordable option. Kelvin and I took the public bus to the town closest to the park entrance from Nairobi. I think it was 3 hours. Had lunch before the hike. I think I paid $530 for everything.

East Africa Overland - 2 week Safari
September 2023
Lake Nakuru, Masai Mara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, Tarangire, Amboseli
Choosing a safari tour company can be daunting. However, choosing the right safari company can insure the best, once in a lifetime adventure! We chose Soul of Tanzania and they delivered exactly what we wanted! Jose, our Journey Designer was very professional and highly experienced! Jose listened to what we wanted, patiently answered our many questions then confidently guided us through the trip planning process.
One reason we chose Soul of Tanzania is because we wanted a local company who had “on the ground” expertise with the East Africa parks and camps. We also wanted the flexibility to build our own itinerary, choose our accommodations, and travel privately with a Safari driver/guide rather than in a group which Soul of Tanzania allowed us to do. All of our accommodations exceeded our expectations - the food, the comfortable beds, the service, and the ambiance of the camps.
One of the highlights of our trip was spending 8 days with Enock John, our expert driver/guide in Tanzania! Enock took such good care of us and seemed more like a longtime friend. After 15 years in the business, Enock is still so passionate about his love of animals and his job! He had an innate, sixth sense for finding animals and he knew every detail about every animal too. We would love to return someday and have Enock as our guide again!
Thank you Soul of Tanzania for delivering the trip of a lifetime which will live in our hearts and memory forever!

Great advice led to a great experience
Our adviser Antoinette was great; she asked the right questions regarding what we were looking for, and presented an itinerary we could tweak with her to produce an unforgettable experience. We'd recommend her and her company for sure!

A must see safari destination
This was our first trip to Africa and to Botswana. Words fail to describe the beauty and abundance of wildlife in the Okavango Delta.
We stayed in two camps at the beginning of October. There was still plenty of water in the delta and abundant wildlife.
Botswana is very hot at this time of year, 42c at lunchtime. However the heat did not affect us much as during the morning and late afternoon game drives the temperature is much cooler. We slept through the hottest part of the day.
Our first camp was Xakanaxa in the Moremi Concession. We cannot speak highly enough of this camp. The location is superb, just in the banks of one of the deltas many channels. All of the staff were so welcoming and nothing was too much trouble. Our guide, Kadi, was knowledgeable and went out of her way to make sure we saw all of the animals we had hoped. On one drive we covered 50km to track down a Cheetah, which was amazing.
Around the camp there are may different habitats and the landscape is always changing and so do the animals. There are too many to list, but we saw everything we had hoped for.
Our second camp was Camp Okavango, which was a short plane ride into the heart of the delta. Again the camp was wonderful, built on suspended boardwalks amongst palm trees on the banks of the delta.
All the staff were incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. King our guide for both walking game drives and boat cruises was knowledgeable and had a great sense of humor. Walking game drives are a must, while you cannot get a close to the animals as on a driven game drive, for obvious safety reason, walking the in Botswanan bush gives a feeling of incredible authenticity and shows the true scale of the delta.
We spent a total of 5 nights on safari and completed 10 game drives. Before setting off on holiday we wondered if that was long enough, in hindsight it was. The experience is magical but quite intense and we found 5 days to be about right, for us.
We booked our safari through Discover Africa, who were incredibly helpful and professional. Our advisor Antoinette, made many great suggestions and really helped us define the right safari for us.
The camps themselves are run by Desert and Delta who again, were superb.
In summary having wanted to visit the Okavango Delta for many years it has exceeded our expectations at every turn, a truly magical experience.

More than expected !!!
I had a great time & experience in Tanzania!
Full of great scenery, a lot of animals, warm heart people...
Although I faced a lot of troubles, all the people helped me quickly, smoothly.
Anouk gave me many advices before Tanzania trip, so I felt relived and could join this tour without any concerns.
Lazzaro is a professional driver, safe, kind, quite reliable.
All the accommodations are very exciting, especially Lake Manyara. I could meet a lot of animals closely on site!
Long driving is tough, but there's something else to gain other than that!!!!

Perfectly Put Together
Zim worked in conjunction with our Tanzania tour operator Sursee Safari's, to put together a epic 18 day safari.
It combined Tanzania, Botswana, Zimbabwe, and Victoria Falls.
Blessing our transfer guide made sure everything went smoothly, watched out for my 78 year old mother, and added bungee jumping for my 21 year old daughter at the last minute at Victoria Falls, and still made everything work out effortlessly.
My highest thanks
