The operator was professional and patient.
The whole process was smooth and inexpensive because we had dollars. The booking rates were reasonable, and the communication between us and the person that assisted us was quite professional and conducive during our booking. If think everything went well and on time and the tour was great.

5 stars smile safari
Supervised al selou with isaya and her trusty assistant frank.
We had a great 2 days together, car safaris (isaya is the best at learning about the various ecosystems to find animals) and river boat safaris.
Impeccable service and isaya always available in everything.
A plus because it is a local Tanzanian company compared to the thousands of foreign companies that organize safaris.
Thank you!

Westport Rotary Club visit to Kenya and Zanzibar
We (14 of us) did an 8 day trip to Kenya followed by 3 days in Zanzibar. Nziza (Bridget) planned and executed the entire trip superbly! We had three very comfortable and rugged Land Rovers with three very personable and professional drivers. They met us at the airport and took care of us for the week we were in Kenya then they met our second group and drove them to Uganda. When we added a couple of additional Rotary project sites to visit, they easily adjusted their schedule to accommodate us. After 3 days, two of our group got COVID, Bridget put them in very nice hotel on Lake Navaisha to quarantine and coordinated everything with the hotel. They rejoined the group after 4 days. I just can't say enough. Everything was planned and executed in expert fashion, from the hotels, flights and ground transportation, meals, baggage...EVERYTHING! If/when I come back to Kenya, Uganda or Tanzania, Nziza & Bridget will be my first call in planning the visit. I've already recommended them to several friends and family.

A very kind and correct man.
We really enjoyed our safari trip to tarangire and ngorongoro. The guide was very kind and calm and gave us plenty of time to watch a lot of animals. The house where we slept was really neat and was very comfortable after a long safari day. We also loved the food the chef prepared for us. This safari was definitely worth the money, exept the way of payment was a bit of a struggle. I would advice you to pay with cash in stead of card. Overall I can definitely recommend going on safari with somewhere in Africa.

Amazing experience with incredible guide and professional team
We spent 8 days on safari with Soul of Tanzania, visiting Ngorongoro Crater, Serengeti Central, Serengeti North (to see the Great wildebeest Migration) and Lake Manyara. The trip was honestly the experience of a lifetime, and I cannot recommend Soul of Tanzania, and especially our wonderful guide Eddy (Edward) enough.
The company itself was very professional, with very prompt responses to our questions when we were planning the trip early on and very flexible with our requests / changes to the itinerary. Both our pick up from the airport in Arusha and our pick-up from the hotel the next morning were prompt and on time. The company also stands out from a lot of the other ones we saw by providing a delicious warm lunch every day which really makes the whole experience feel a bit more comfortable.
The main thing that made our experience so special was our guide Eddy. He really went above and beyond. Not only did we see the Big 5 (and many many more), but we saw each of them at least twice and all of them from extremely close (like could count the spots on a leopard close). As soon as we told him one of our group was a keen photographer, he would make sure to show us each animal from multiple angles so we could get the perfect shot. He also wasn’t just ticking boxes by showing us each animal once we saw each one in multiple states - for example, we saw lions sleeping in a tree, a lion climbing up and down a tree, but then also saw them stalking prey, watched some lion cubs playing and even saw them mating. He was incredible at spotting animals, and we were the first jeep on location on numerous occasions. He was also so knowledgeable about all the animals (and we really grilled him on even the obscure bird species) - he knew everything about the animals’ habits, behaviour, you name it. Patience was another of his virtues that proved times and times again very critical - we would wait as long as we wanted to see aniamls in actions. I think how great a guide he is and how committed he is to making the experience truly once in a lifetime is best captured by our trip to Serengeti north to try and see the wildebeest and zebra migration across the Mara river. We were expecting to maybe see them cross once. Eddy managed to find not one, not two but three groups crossing, with each group more spectacular than the next. Even the camp staff where we were staying couldn’t believe he’d managed to find three groups for us to observe in one day! Honestly cannot recommend him enough! Thank you Eddy for making the trip so special - ahsante sana, rafiki!
One thing we would recomment -- skip lake Manyara and spend as much time as you can in central Serengeti. We found lake Manyara a bit underwhelming with very little to see, whereas our 4 days in Serengeti would gladly be extended.

The experience of a lifetime!
From the very beginning, Soul of Tanzania has provided us with a highly professional service.
We (couple and 2 teenagers) did a 4-day safari through Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro.
Our guide John was truly incredible and in addition to all the usual animals, he managed us to see 1 leopard (and its hunted gazelle), 2 cheetahs, 2 servals, and countless lions just a few meters from the jeep in 24 hours in the Serengeti.
Also noteworthy are the hot meals served at lunch during the safari, as well as the quality of all the suggested accommodations.
Thanks again Marta and John.

5-Day Safari with Leken Adventures smooth communication / great guide
It was very easy to communicate with this operator when planning our safari, Mr Alex always answered our e-mails very promptly and was very helpful advising us about the safari tour that better met our requirements.
We´ve chosen the 5-day safari "endless plains"
Our guide Ayub was very professional, shown a good knowledge about birds and managed that it was possible to see the big five although the rhinos were too far, but as they are very rare we can´t ask for better. We visited Tarangire, Serengeti & Ngorongoro Crater and we loved the 4 lodge where we stayed overnight, Ngorongoro Serena Lodge by its landscape view over the crater, Kati kati tented camp because our stay was like a dream, and Farm house by its simplicity and the kindness of the staff.
Thank you Leken Adventures. Alex and Ayub will carry this trip in our hearts forever
