Ben was experienced, knowledgeable, and professional.
We had an excellent experience using Blue Mountain Trekking. Ann was so helpful and quick to communicate with us every time. She arranged our safari, transport, and even helped us buy train tickets. It was a huge help, and her rates on some things were much better than if we had booked them ourselves. She even helped us buy same day airline tickets when we had an emergency. Our safari guide Ben did a great job and our family loved every minute! So thankful to have Blue Mountain Trekking take care of the details so that we could enjoy our trip! I cannot recommend them enough!

Kathi catered to our every need and truly made it a trip of a lifetime.
Kathi was very knowledgable and was always available. Everything was planned out so precisely and perfectly. Our private tour guide in Cape Town was super knowledgable and top notch. Our stay in Sabi Sands was incredible. The accommodations were stellar and the ranger and tracker were amazing and made the overall safari experience very special. She really made this trip "a trip of a lifetime". Anyone considering going to South Africa should definitely reach out to her.

A perfect honeymoon safari and a trip of a lifetime
We went with Soul of Tanzania for our honeymoon and were so happy we chose them. Marta was amazing to deal with from the start and throughout, very knowledgeable, pointed us in the right direction and gave very useful feedback on the type of itinerary we were hoping to go with.
We absolutely loved the itinerary we did. On top of that, the guide they set us up with Rodrick, was beyond what we could have hoped for in a guide, he enabled us to see all we could have hoped to see and more. He also reiterated our perception of how nice and friendly Tanzanian people are.
If you book with them, it will be one of the best decisions you could make it creating the safari trip if your dreams.

Very well organized and welcoming. Hotels are perfect and service is impeccable. Strongly recommend.
We decided to go for a private 4 day safari (3 nights). The tour operator can adapt depending on your budget/what tou want to do.
We went to:
- Tarangire
- Serengeti
- Ngorongoro
- Lake Myanara
We slept the first and third nights in an amazing hotel (Tloma Lodge) and the second night in luxury camp directly in the Serengeti, amazing.
Dennis our guide shared all his knowledge with us, been doing this job for 17 years! It was really a pleasure
Overall, the tour operator was perfect and the trip created memories for a lifetime!

Very helpful and well organised
Two of us booked on to the 5 day budget camping safari - Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha and Hell's Gate National Park. We were in a vehicle with 5 others on the same trip. The whole experience was excellent. Clear, prompt communication beforehand and any questions answered by email. Khalifa was a great guide, ensuring we were always happy and helping with things like exchanging money and where to buy souvenirs. The accommodation was all excellent - half the nights in a very large tent and the other half in incredible lodges with swimming pools. Lovely range of activities - game drives, cycling, boat trip. On the game drives Khalifa was great at getting us good views of the animals and we spent a long time in the parks. Would definitely recommend - nothing about it felt 'budget'.

Amazing, one life experience with an amazing guide
I took a 3 day Safari tours with Jocky Tours. It was just amazing! Our driver and guide Khalifa was so knowledgeable about Masai Mara area. We had explored many African mammals thanks to him. We also discovered Masai Maran tribe people. Khalifa was so kind like a brother during the tour. I also made great friends from different countries by this tour. So, just take and enjoy this tour.

Expectations exceeded
Tremendous experience and life changing! Our guide, Abby, was a gem. It is obvious that he cares about his country and all it has to offer! Abby was born to be a guide. We enjoyed incredible meals out in the bush and learned some basic Swahili phrases. Abby has an eye for wildlife and we were the first people to see most hard to find animals that other vehicles had passed by. When you book your trip, be sure to ask for him as your guide. You will not be disappointed.
Our initial and constant contact throughout the booking and preparation process was Elvice. He was quick to reply and was very helpful in finding out our desires and made sure the trip we would experience would be successful. In fact, the trip he put together for us far exceeded our expectations.
It is scary booking a trip of a lifetime and making a deposit in advance to be able to get lodging booked. You send the money hoping this is really a legit company that will take care of you. Let me assure you, this company is top notch and will honor their word! We had initial plans for a 2020 safari and had made a deposit and a schedule was put together. Due to covid and scheduling issues, a 2 year pause was placed on the trip. We were personally welcomed to Tanzania by Elvice. He was there to greet us and welcome us to our long-planned safari. This is a company that we will recommend to everyone that has a desire to see this incredible country.

Outstanding service, a flawless program with a keen eye on sustainability and ethics
Ben and Aurelie patiently organised a Kilimanjaro and safari itinerary for a group of 18 of us. Covid delays meant the trip was postponed for 2 years and each time the trip was rolled forward with minimal hassle. What a fantastic crew, superior and experienced guides, a looked after porter team and attention to detail at every corner. We had a 100% summit success and the lead guide’s pole pole approach paid off. I would recommend them to anyone, whether a small or large group. We loved the fact that they are socially conscious with a high standard for all staff accompanying us and no short cut measures to compromise the highest ethical standards. A superb memory.

The best option to do on a safari Uganda and Rwanda
Compared to other agencies we saw, we had the best Vehicle, very charming hotels (especially Bunyonyi Rock Resort) and the food was spectacular. The price is very tight and the 5 days / 4 nights itinerary could not be more complete.
We were assigned a guide who spoke very good English (no need to ask) and who took us excellently throughout the trip. Special mention to Amos, and Reagan who made it a magical trip. Without a doubt, we would repeat.
Super recommended! Many thanks!!
