Truly an outstanding experience
Booked a 4-day safari encompassing Tarangire, Ngorongoro and Serengeti. SoT were very responsive in all communication from the first contact and Helena, our tour designer, managed to book a custom package in accordance with our wishes on a very short notice. The accommodation was excellent throughout. Livingstone, our driver and guide, was simply phenomenal - he knows literally everything about the area and its flora and fauna and seemed to have a sixth sense about where to find the different species of animals. Consequently, the tour never had a dull moment as there was always something new to see. We might have been lucky, but during a relatively short safari we saw cheetahs, leopards, lions, rhinos and a crocodile as well as the more numerous elephants, zebras and impalas. A particularly nice touch (which others have mentioned) is the warm lunch, which we enjoyed using metal plates, goblets and cutlery so no concerns about plastic waste :) In short - Soul of Tanzania are professionals from start to finish and we had the trip of a lifetime.

Truly wonderful safari experience
We had the pleasure of having Hassan as our guide: He was a very competent driver who went to great lengths to make out safari enjoyable and adventurous, and he was very knowledgeable about all the different kinds of animals. Furthermore, we had a GREAT cook with us on the tour, who cooked the best meals we had on out entire Tanzania-trip! We have been on safaris before with other companies, but this is the best service we have experienced so far. We could not have asked for a better safari-experience!

Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, Queen Elizabeth National Park
We had a great trip with Christopher as our guide and William as our driver. We went Gorilla trekking in the Impenetrable Forest which was absolutely fabulous. We got to sit and watch mountain gorillas go about their business from just yards away. We stayed 1 night at Ride 4 a Woman hostel, which was clean, with good food and good service and I would highly recommend again. We next went up to queen elizabeth national park, staying in the Enjojo lodge which was beautiful, in the trees, looking out of the savannah. We had a beautiful cottage and enjoyed excellent service and food. We drove to the northern part of the park seeing, elephants, lions, water buffalo, warthogs, baboons and many other animals. We enjoyed a cruise on Lake Edward and saw many hippos, elephants and other water animals. We stayed in the baboon safari resort, which is perched overlooking the plains where you can see herds of elephants walking. On our last day we went chimpanzee trekking. On the whole Christopher who runs the company was an excellent communicator and handled all of the logistics efficiently and quickly. We had a wonderful trip and would highly recommend the company again. William our driver was also fabulous and very knowledgeable as well. Everyone should see the Mountain Gorillas if you are able.

Like family
My experience with Mwangaza Safaris, doing 4 nights and 3 days to Mikumi and Udzungwa was great. From the start, Mwajabu was very responsive and answering all of my questions in Whatsapp. I happened to be staying at the DoubleTree where their office is located so I was able to meet her before the safari as well. As a single female, I felt very comfortable with this company the whole time.
My driver Athman was great, even though from Dar to Mikumi the trip was incredibly long because of traffic (8 ish hours, not their fault), they made up for time by dropping me right at the park and having me start my safari right away. I would recommend doing more than just two days if you can manage because it is a long drive and both Mikumi and Udzungwa are beautiful. It rained occasionally and my guide (Gilbert), had a good attitude and we kept on in the rain and still saw plenty of animals. I saw everything I could have asked for, elephants, giraffes, zebras, wildebeast, buffalo, warthogs, hippos, monkeys, impalas, vultures and yes even lions! I could have stayed in the park for hours, the mountain views and trees and everything was incredible.
At the end of my trip, I actually added on one extra day and they were very flexible with me and Mwajabu went above and beyond to change my ferry ticket to Zanzibar (which again due to traffic, I barely made it to the ferry!). I LOVED camp Bastian as well (they had vegan options too). Quiet, clean, relaxing and safe. A once in a lifetime experience! Big thanks to Mwajabu, Gilbert and Athman for looking after me and providing a great experience.

My childhood dream coming true
I was dreaming about going on a Safari since I was 6 and I saw the Lion King.
My experience was exactly how I dreamt it, if possible even better.
The parks are amazing, everything is perfectly planned and everyone is extremely nice and helpful. Mohamed and his team will take care of you :) Also a special thanks to Dennis, for the best gluten free pancake I ever had. Thanks for the awesome experience, I will always remember it and hopefully come back soon!

7 Days Serengeti adventure, great service!!
It was my life time experience and thank you Abongo. We had an amazing time in Kenya and seen a lot of big five animals during our 18 day Maasai Mara and Serengeti safari. They are professional, friendly, prompt and on time! From the booking process to actual trip everything was perfect thanks to Abongo for the arrangements.
Perfect driver, well organized and off all a special thanks to James, our guide, who was very professional and extremely kind at the same time. He made sure we were safe, knew all about the animals and the region and was happy to answer all of our questions about everything. This is the company to book with. Thanks Silver Spark Africa Safaris.

Outstanding 5 star experience!
I really enjoyed my trip with Sino Africa Safaris. Very good and planned itinerary with reasonable costs. The safari accommodation was very well-chosen and made for an enriching and memorable holiday. Food was scrumptious and delicious. The guide was more than helpful responding to all our queries. We will visit back when the virus issue is over.
