Well organized, extremely dedicated, exiting and wonderful
The too guide’s Doc and Moses were the perfect team to male us absolutely happy on the 6 day trip to Kafue nationalpark. We learned so much about nature, the „small, the big and the ugly five from them, the took is to the most beautiful places and campsite and they were cooking better then any 4-stark hotel. We had fun, we had peaceful moments and a gread time from the first to the last minutes of the trip!

Very efficient, flexible and reliable
We went with Luitours for 2 weeks in August 2023 around the Tanzanian National Park southern route (Mikumi, Ruaha and Nyerere) plus a few days at Kilwa by the Indian Ocean. We were picked up at Dar airport, dropped back there and were looked after all the time in between. Luitours was very flexible and helpful in amending their standard package to suit our requirements. Everything worked very well, and the trip substantially exceeded our expectations. Our driver/guide Khalifa (who was with us all the time) was great had an astonishing ability to spot animals and birds and was very informative about not only fauna but also all things Tanzanian. The game park lodges were of a perfectly adequate standard and the one just outside Ruaha NP had one of the best views I have ever seen. We are very happy to recommend Luitours for a Tanzanian safari in the future. Philip
Thanks for making all the amazing things happen!
We booked a customized private Safari tour with the Soul of Tanzania in August 2023. The trip was amazing and we had a wonderful time that beats every expectation!
Jose was our trip planner. We liaised with him from itinerary design to trip booking and he has been super helpful throughout the whole process. He has been responsive and patient helping us with accommodation recommendation and cost breakdowns so that we can decide where to best use our budget. He also gave us useful information regarding travel guidelines and general advice.
Our Tanzanian guide Enock is super experienced and knowledgeable. He always goes extra a hundred miles to bring us the best - we've seen lots of amazing things and learned a lot! He has more than 15 years of experience in this area and he shared with us lots of interesting facts about the wildlife and the culture. We can feel that he has genuine passion in what he is doing. He also has good eyes for finding the best photography opportunities - he knows the best spots and finds the perfect background for wildlife shooting. He is aware of the importance of lights in photography and was happy to take us out during sunrise and sunset hours. During the trip we didn't have to worry about what to do because we can trust him 100%.
The company really takes care of customers' special requirements - in our case, we have sent the team a note that we have a focus on photography and they found the right guide for us, we cannot be more grateful and would definitely book our next African trip with the Soul of Tanzania again!

A very efficient, responsive and reliable tour operator.
We booked a 3 day safari to Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater, flying in from Arusha and out to Zanzibar. Thanks to Mohamed Haroun we had a really amazing trip.
Mohamed helped us to customise the safari to our own specifications and he organised everything. He was quick to respond to queries and requests.
A special thank you to Mailiach, our driver and guide on the safari. With his comprehensive knowledge of both National Parks and the animals we learned so much and saw so many different animals. Which included all of the ‘Big Five’. A big thank you to Telly Safaris for a truly memorable experience.

Excellent tour, safe, on time, trustful
Communication by email clear, pick up and drop off time as announced, felt safe, Sonny (?) the driver smiling and explaining things, safe driving. In the park everything went well, Ika (?) the driver and guide was spotting hard, doing the best to show explaining many interesting things about the animals. We saw birds, zebras, many giraffes, gnus, impalas, hippos and two of the big five, elephants with babies and rhinos. Although we couldn't spot lions, leopards and buffalos, the game drive was great!

Wonderful safari, amazing lodges/tented camps and very experienced tour guide Ziggy
We booked with Kili Slope Tours after comparing 2 tour operators on Safaribookings.com. Value for money seemed good and we could combine the Kili climb and safari at the same operator.
Booking was very flexible in terms of dates. We booked a group safari but in the end got a private safari which was very nice since we never had to wait and we could start and stop whenever we liked.
Communication was in general quick and clear with David. He arranged a very nice itinerary. Only small remark we had is a few hotels were different from the ones on the itinerary which resulted in some unclarity. However, I directly would like to add the resorts were equal or maybe even more beautiful compared to the ones on our initial confirmation. So don’t worry, hakuna matata.
The safari was an amazing experience. I would book the same 6 day tour including Mara river again. The resorts and tented camps were all amazing.
Last but not least many thanks to our experienced and hospitable driver and guide Ziggy. He found everyday the best spots to see the beautiful wildlife in Tanzania. He was very polite and with respect to the nature and local people.

Magical safari experience with Raja Tours
Raja was one of the few tour companies offering a specific mix of a Kenyan and Tanzanian safari experience which I was seeking and with genuinely affordable rates compared to competitors. I am so happy I narrowed the choices down and went with Raja in the end! Our 6 days spent exploring the Masai Mara (with Tom) and Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Lake Manyara (with Omar) has made for one the most memorable and impactful experiences of my life.
Raja (who I believe owns the company and helps to organise the tour) was available any time I needed and would answer my questions with speed. When you're planning a safari trip, this is very much appreciated as it can be a daunting task! Every detail was well thought out, from the drives to the accommodations - which resulted in a seamless experience overall. A huge thanks to Raja for all his assistance in making my safari dream a reality.
With the experience of both Tom and Omar combined, and a little luck, I was grateful to be able to witness the big five in all their glory as well as many more incredible animals. Nothing beats the feeling of watching these great creatures in their natural habitat. Both guides were incredibly helpful and remained flexible to any specific requests we had - from sourcing a SIM card in Tanzania to chasing down a stunning sunset in the Masai.
From the bottom of my heart, a huge thank you to everyone who made this safari a reality for me. Every moment and memory will hold a special place in my heart for life!
Don't hesitate to book with Raja! You won't regret It.

The best tour guides
We had an amazing experience with Almighty Kilimanjaro (tour group of 5). They provided an excellent service throughout and always put our needs and safety first. Excellent value for money. The guides were knowledgeable, friendly and always helped us with any questions, including daily briefings so we knew what would be happening the next day. The whole team put in the extra mile to get us through the hike, even when people were struggling they helped get us up the mountain. We simply wouldn’t have made it to the summit without this great group of guys. The food was great, with lots of variety (soups, chicken, vegetables, fruit, rice, stews, fish, pancakes, omelettes etc.). The porters and staff did an amazing job, carrying and setting up our tents, serving us food, making us hot drinks when we woke up, providing hot water for washing and even cleaning our boots every day! Special mentions to Muntari, Swalehe, Frank, Muni (service with a smile), Shabhan (super chef), Apollo, Bernard and Ustadhi (plus all of the other porters and crew) for making this such a special experience for us. I highly recommend this company if you are thinking of hiking Kilimanjaro (machame route).
