Wonderful Days in Tanzania
We spent our honeymoon in Zanzibar, but wanted to do a 2-days safari in Nyerere National Park.
Shammah Wonders made it possible to have the best experience of our lives so far.
Communication with Justine, the owner of the company, was smooth from the beginning and everything was arranged like how we discussed it.
Our guides and driver were all really kind and we truly had a great time while we were there.

Customise Travel & Tours was amazing and perfectly tailored our trip to Zimbabwe.
I cannot recommend Customise Travel & Tours enough. We were scheduled to have a 3 day trip to Victoria Falls and unfortunately our flight was canceled. We were able to arrive a day late, and Brian with Customise Travel & Tours ensured that we were still able to complete our entire itinerary. He truly went above and beyond. We were thrilled with our trip.

Amazing 4 night safari with Frances!
My husband and I had the most wonderful 4 days visiting the above parks. From the initial contact with Jose who arranged this bespoke trip, to Frances our amazing guide and driver for the 4 days, everything was memorable and perfect!
We saw all the big 5 (and close up!) and lots more! Frances was knowledgeable, very experienced, great driver, caring, flexible and funny!!! The accommodation recommended for our budget and food exceeded our exceptions!
Highly recommend this company! Asante Sana Soul of Tanzania, we will never forget our trip!

Absolutely gorgeous and wild!
We had an amazing 6 day safari with Seven By Far. Booking was easy and they accommodated all our wishes without a problem. Our guide Evan was amazing in spotting animals. He was knowledgeable and very experienced. We got to see so many animals including the Big 5, wildebeests crossing the Meru river, ostriches mating, hippos on land and in the water, a lion in the tree just a few meters from our vehicle. Unbelievable experience! Thanks so much!

Friendly, cooperative and more understanding
A 3-day trip to Mombasa beach in a luxury hotel, floating hotel visit for a sea food taste and animal park (Haller park).
All this goes to the courtesy of Bovid Africa Safaris. It was a very relaxing experience for me and my cousin.
I love the way they are organised and friendly on travel arrangements.
Looking forward having a tour with you again.

Best tour operator in Arusha
Soul of Tanzania must be the best tour company based in Arusha. I contacted them over 4 years ago and Jose was our coordinator. He responded almost immediately to all my enquiries and we formulated a 13 day safari that proved to be way beyond our expectations. Unfortunately Covid and a family wedding meant that the trip was delayed for so long.
If you’re thinking of booking with them do not be afraid to wire money to the company, they held our considerable deposit for over three years and assured us it would be ok. Jose was always able to reassure and rebook all the accommodation near the time.
Flying into East Africa from London we decided to fly to Nairobi and spend a night at an airport hotel. As there were 4 of us, me, husband and two adult sons I opted to do a road transfer to Arusha. Jose had organised a pickup with the Kenyan sister part of Soul of Tanzania. The driver was right on time for the interesting journey to the border at Namanga where they changed drivers. What a difference between Kenya and Tanzania, we were glad to leave the overpopulated, refuse strewn and terrible roads in Kenya and enter Tanzania with its great infrastructure and happy friendly people.
We spent two nights at the Hatari Lodge in Arusha Game Park just relaxing and watching the wildlife that passed by the decking. Our driver returned to pick us up to take us into Arusha for a transfer to our safari vehicle and guide, Wilson.
Wilson has been a guide for over 20 years and obviously respected by all the other guides and people at the different lodges and camps we stayed in. He was so knowledgeable in everything, not only all the game and birds but plants, trees and geology. He instinctively knew where we would find the elusive Rhino and we witnessed the exceptionally rare sight of two Leopards in adjoining trees in a stand off with a Lion. Wilson also had a great sense of humour that fitted in with all our requests and laughter. I think he got the measure of us when we asked to stop at a supermarket to stock up on beers to accompany the wine and hot food served at our lunch stops where he found less busy places with beautifully clean toilets.
We spent two days in Tarangeri National Park with its huge herds of elephants and buffalo and nearly all the big 5 game. Two nights in Lake Manyara Game Park which is set between the Great Rift Escarpment and the lake with its lush dense forests and is a bird lover’s paradise. One night on the rim of the Ngorongoro Crater after spending the afternoon in the Crater which was amazing. Three nights in Central Serengeti with its vast open plains with ribbons of rivers that attracted huge herds of Hypo’s. Our last three night were spent at the Acacia Migration Camp. We were about one week to early to witness a Mara River crossing but we did see the the amazing sight of thousands of Zebra and Wildebeest in the Great Migration. On our last full day we were up very early to see the African dawn, don’t miss it, it’s so beautiful. We also sat in chairs right next to the migration for nearly two hours drinking the last of our beers. What a fantastic end to our safari.
Our last day Wilson took us to Kogatende air strip for the flight back to Arusha and onward road transfer to Nairobi airport.
This was undoubtedly the best holiday we have ever had, yes we did see the Big 5 game but it was just a part of all the wonderful experiences we encountered. I would like to thank Jose for all his help in organising it. Also a special thanks to Wilson who made each day special in different ways. Asante Sana

Misuku Expeditions is a top notch adventure company
Misuku Expeditions is a Malawi owned and operated expedition company. I went to Lewondi National Park with them. The game drives, boat safari and accommodations were all top notch. I messed up my travel plans and then were incredibly accommodating and flexible. To top it off, we saw a mother rhino and her calf! Communication, and reliability were really solid. The price was very reasonable.

Helped us make travel plans and change hotels according to our needs a few weeks before departure Everything was arranged perfectly and nothing could be faulted. Our driver and tour guide told us a lot about animals along the way and introduced Kenya. Thank you amazing memories.
