Incredible Safari trip
5/5

We had such an amazing safari! David helped organise a 7 day safari which covered Tarangire (1 night), Serengeti (4 nights), and ngorongoro (1 night). We had the best time. We loved the accommodation that was included for Central Serengeti.. Our guide Ziggy was great, knowledgeable, always informed the hotel about our dietary requirements where necessary and we were able to see some incredible sightings (migration, many lion prides, big 5) We really enjoyed the safari and highly recommend kili tours for an unforgettable safari!

Professional and experienced
5/5

Vihann helped me a lot with the planning of my first African trip. We had a zoom call and told him my preference and my budget. He is efficient and gave me two proposals within 1 day. After confirmation, he would also answer any questions. If there is any problem or alteration during the tour, he also helped me with that. I will use them again when I planned for my next African trip

Amazing 5 days
5/5

When planning for our Africa trip we read about Soul of Tanzania online and really liked the details they’d provided for their tours. We got in touch with them and our Journey Designer, Hugo replied super promptly.
Hugo took all our details to ensure that things were smooth for us from when we land to when we take off. He also helped customise the trip for us including the hot air balloon ride. The planning stage was great - Hugo gave us the best price and also gave us all the hotel booking confirmations as soon as he booked them!

When we arrived in Tanzania everything was smooth. Our picks ups from and to the airport were prompt and I appreciate how they reached almost half an hour in advance.

Our safari guide Francis was amazing - he made sure to show us everything we wanted to see. He understood that we were okay with waking up super early to maximise the day, and made sure to be there promptly. He had a lot of information about animals as well and we felt really comfortable with him! He asked around to ensure that we’d see a leopard and drove us out to see the migration as well! He planned for all the safaris really well making sure to maximise our permits!
On our last day back to Arusha he took us to the best spots to buy souvenirs as well! Everyone should ask for Francis as he made the safari super enjoyable for us.
One of us had an early morning flight and we were worried as no cab details were given to us, but Francis completely handled that and we felt assured that the pick ups would arrive on time - and they did!

Our safari meals were great - hot food and great local wine. The lunchboxes were also a great way for us to sit by animals and have a meal. This helped us especially when we were waiting by the leopard hoping for it to move - by the time we had lunch the leopard moved around helping us take great photos!

Each stay was great as well - we stayed at Kilimamoja, Nimali, and Karibu Lions Paw. Each place took special care of our dietary restrictions which Soul of Tanzania had already communicated. They took care of our very early wake up calls as well.
Special call out to Nimali Serengeti though - the staff there made us feel like home! Carlie felt like a friend, and their chef Walkin was brilliant. Peter took care of us really well as well - and didn’t hesitate when we asked for a super early 4am wake up call! We met their head safari guide and he was super knowledgable and experienced too!
When we got back to our room the second day all our laundry was ready and folded and we were so grateful that we didn’t have to remind them. Would definitely recommend Nimali to everyone for the great dinner, service, and location!
Kilimamoja had the best breakfast hands down - and their chef made sure to introduce us to local delicacies as well. The lunchbox they prepared for us was the best too! Special call out to Zechariah, for arranging everything so wonderfully and taking custom orders for our lunchbox!
Would definitely recommend Karibu Lions Paw for anyone visiting Ngorongoro as the proximity is amazing!

The hot air balloon company - Serengeti balloon safaris - was great as well. We had to reach super early in the morning but they were ready for us with ginger coffee! The ride itself was really smooth as was take off and landing! Our pilot Jonathan showed us animals from the ride as well and he took the best route giving us the best visibility. We even saw a serval cat hunting! The breakfast after was surreal - to be eating with giraffe walking around in front of you!

Really appreciate how Soul of Tanzania picked such wonderful choices for us, how prompt they were on ground, and how great their guide Francis was! Once we landed in Tanzania we didn’t have to worry about anything - they took care of everything in the best way!
Id def recommend Soul of Tanzania to all my friends!

unforgettable experience
5/5

We had an outstanding experience on our six-day safari with Excellent Voyage, exploring Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro Crater, Central, and West Serengeti. Luka's excellent planning greatly contributed to the overall superbness of our trip. However, it was our guide, Godi, who truly made the safari exceptional.
The quality of any safari heavily relies on the expertise of the guide, and Godi proved to be. one of the best. His extensive knowledge of both avian and animal species was truly remarkable, and he also exhibited a deep understanding of different cultures. Godi's maturity and wealth of experience were clearly evident, playing a significant role in the success of our safari and enhancing our overall enjoyment.

Fantastic
5/5

Dennis and the team went above and beyond to deliver my safari experience.

The communication was fantastic from the outset and they customised an itinerary for my particular requirements. They also helped greatly with some of the administrative issues.

The accommodation sourced was first class, and the drivers were excellent - Jackson in particular.

An experience, I'll never forget!

I'm already looking forward to booking my next safari through Morningstar.

Sunny was charismatic, punctual and very well informed from start to finish.
5/5

Best money spent on weekend getaway. Sunny was prompt in picking us up. He was energetic, hilarious, and so informative on the whole trip from the towns we passed to the animals we saw. The whole trip was easy to book and pay for. We stayed at the Ivory Lodge and everything from our room to the service and food was outstanding! Can’t stop raving about the food! Everyone was friendly and so accommodating. We loved the safaris! Definitely bring winter coats for the sunset tour lol. We will definitely be coming back and specifically booking with Sunny! We have already booked other day trips with Moafrika while we’re here

Successful 38 day trip to Africa! Reliable, honest and all around experts on Africa travel!
5/5

I didn't make it easy for Hallmark, as I wanted a 38 day trip for our family that included culture, animals, history, etc. But Levis worked many days and nights with me to meet all my goals as we went back and forth on the phone and emails ironing out the best places to visit or skip. He was very patient with my complicated and unique requests and never gave up. What made it really all possible is that Levis knew every location so well, I never could stump him...any time I asked about visiting somewhere he would tell me the pros and cons and honestly tell me whether it was worth it or suggest an alternative. He knows all these countries so well and you can tell he's visited and researched every tourist spot.

We had a great time visiting 4 countries (Kenya, Tanzania, Rwanda and Uganda) and everyone in the family was happy with the trip. In Kenya, Hallmark uses their own car/driver, so we had Richard who knew everything about the areas we visited. He kept the car clean and safe each day, helped us find what we needed at stores and was always happy to help us even as we tried to find local food at the local markets where tourists never go. He even took us to his house since it was on the way, and we got to hang out with his wife and kids...how nice is that? Afterwards he kept in touch and asked how our trip was going.

The rest of the trip was in other countries with Hallmark's partners. I was very impressed at how we got to see everything on the itinerary even as we kept switching drivers in every country, nothing got lost. The handoffs country to country were very smooth, Levis gave me contact info for each driver, so I could always contact them in advance on Whatsapp. Levis was always in touch and whenever I had a question or some new spur of the moment request, he would try to help me.

This is a very personal company...when we arrived to start our trip in Nairobi, Levis even met us at the airport, and then the following night took us out to Carnivore along with his wife, so we could talk about daily life and business.

I highly recommend you work with Hallmark and Levis if you want honest expertise to plan your trip and top quality execution to make it happen successfully. Hallmark made our trip a complete success!

Great
5/5

I enjoyed the tour it was very informative. Our guide Thabang was fantastic, really friendly and great to chat with. Could not have asked for a better tour guide. It was quite a long and tiring day with a lot of information to take in but a good way to see a lot in a short time. I learned a lot about Johannesburg on this trip.
