Great organization providing an incredible experience.
We decided to go on safari in Tanzania and were looking for a tour operator. After contacting several operators, we decided to chose African Big Cats Safaris as they were reactive and provided us a detailed summary of the safari trip including information to know before arriving in Tanzania. The detailed programme included location and accommodations for our 6 days safari. After we arrived in Arusha we met Emanuel who friendly welcomed us and explained the safari tour to come (debriefing).
Our guide was Andrew who we can only recommend. He met all our expectations and spotted all the animals we wanted to see. It would not have been the same without Andrew as our guide.
We chose a comfort safari formula (mid range) and all the accomdations were perfect, really clean and a great service! A special plus for Serengeti and the Heritage tented camp accommodation.
Overall, we can really recommand African Big Cats Safaris who managed to provide us an unforgettable experience.

Well organized, Uhuru Travel has a lot of knowledge on Tanzania providing a great safari experience!
Uhuru has organized a trip from Dar Es Salaam to Ruaha National Park. The walking safari was the highlight of the trip encountering crocodiles and hippo's from very close distance. Lodge was very nice and well located. All, including air travel, was organized very well and is was a very nice experience.

Absolutely amazing!
We are a couple living in Austria and we decided to travel to Uganda in June 2020. First we thought about to book via an agency in Austria or Germany but as it was very expensive we tried to find an agency in Entebbe or Kampala. We wrote to 5-10 agencies and then we chose the best option for us which was Uzuri Uganda Safari and Edris.
The communication with Edris was from the beginning very simple and he responded to all the questions (and we had many of them) very well and fast (within 24h).
As it was a bit strange for us not to book with an Austrian or German agency we were a bit afraid that we would arrive and no one would be waiting for us. But we paid the gorilla and chimpanzee permits in advance and we told Edris we would pay the remaining balance on arrival. This was no problem so it was kind of security for us that it would go well because we just paid the permits in advance and Edris sent us immediately the permits with our names.
Due to COVID we had to postpone our trip 2 times and also this was no problem and everything was well organized by Edris (changing the permits and also the accomodations).
After 1 1/2 year waiting finally we arrived in Entebbe and surprise surprise Edris and our guide Ronnie were waiting for us at the airport to pick us up and start our journey.
Our car was a 4x4 LandRover which I would also prefer the next time (the other option was a mini-van). The car was in a very good condition with a roof for game drives and enough space for 2 people. Smaller issues with the car (flat tire) during the journey were well managed by our guide so we almost didn‘t notice there were any problems.
The lodges Edris suggested and we finally booked were all nice and clean with a good standard and the food was really good. Only the last stay in Entebbe before departure was very loud in the morning.
Our guide Ronnie was very good. He knew very much about culture and animals and was able to answer almost all questions we had. He is also a very good and safe driver. Sometimes we just had smaller communication problems but this is almost not worth mention it.
We had an itinerary which was fixed before the journey but we were able to discuss some points during our stay so we were flexible to change some smaller things like game drives and walking safaris.
Altogether we can highly recommend Uzuri Uganda Safari for trips in Uganda because of professionalism, reliability and flexibility. If we come back some day again this will be our agency of choice.

Professional, friendly & reliable!
From the time we started our first correspondence with Luis from Soul of Tanzania - 1 month before our desired time of travel - till the time we said goodbye to our safari guide Edwin in Tanzania - 6 weeks later - our experience was nothing short of delightful. Luis was always patient and helpful with all of our queries and made sure all our requirements were well taken care of. On arrival in Arusha, due to some misunderstanding about the flight timings, our pick up was delayed. Somebody from the Soul office picked us up at the airport an hour later and more than made up for the mistake on their part. She drove us around Arusha and even took us shopping as my bag never made it on the flight to Tanzania. In Arusha we met with our safari guide for the next 5 days, Edwin, and we couldn't have been happier! Edwin was extremely fun and seemed to know the Serengeti like the back of his hand. He made sure everyday was special and that we saw the Big 5 before the end of our safaris. What stood out for me about Edwin though was how he went out of his way to make sure my bag arrived in the Serengeti within 2 days instead of in Arusha 5 days later so I could have all my essentials with me during the safari.
However, we do hope the jeep condition could've been a little better considering the charging port didn't work and the seats could use some refurbishing. Some amount of variety in the meals offered could be an added bonus as well.
All in all, we couldn't have asked for a better honeymoon and for that, a large part of the credit goes to the Soul of Tanzania team. From communication to accommodation to just being there for you every step of the way, its safe to say you will be putting your money in the right place when booking with them!

The whole tour was simply amazing.
This trip was simply amazing and there are no other words to describe it! The whole trip was very well organized because it got better day by day! And a very important point to mention is that we very so lucky with our guide Endeni who was so amazing and was so excited to show us the animals, explain everything about them and answer all our questions about the animals and the Tanzanian culture! Our trip included cultural activities which were so interesting to discover and the hikes were amazing because we could see the beautiful nature of Tanzania. Thank you very very very much African Big Cats for this amazing experience which will remain forever in our minds!

5 stars because 6 are not possible :-)
Schade, dass es keine 6 Sterne gibt. Wir würden Sie vergeben. Best booking in our life!!! Individuell, freundlich, zuverlässig, professionell und mehr als herzlich. Über jeden Zweifel erhaben und mit Innocent dem besten Guide (sicherer umsichtiger Fahrer mit immer guter Laune und einem speziellen Gefühl für unsere Bedürfnisse) in Tanzania hatten wir ein Erlebnis das selbst uns als Vielreisende im positiven aus den Socken gehauen hat. James der Geschäftsführer spricht darüberhinaus noch perfekt deutsch, so dass eine Abstimmung immer problemlos möglich war. Wir empfehlen jedem mit diesem Unternehmen zu buchen.
It's a pity that there are no 6 stars. We would give them. Best booking in our life!!! Individual, friendly, reliable, professional and more than cordial. Beyond any doubt and with Innocent the best guide (safe careful driver with always good mood and a special feeling for our needs) in Tanzania we had an experience that even us as frequent travelers positively knocked our socks off. James the managing director speaks perfect German, so that a coordination was always possible without any problems. We recommend everyone to book with this company.

Fun, Comfortable and lovely drive from Benson and Alex.
It was a pleasant and enjoyable drive. Both easy-going and wanted to think along with me. Benson took also the patient to explain a lot about Kenya. It gaves me the opportunity to learn and bond in the same time. I felt comfortable and safe! Definately would recommend these guys/guides/transfers/friends!

This was the best vacation ever!
Our trip was in late September and early October. Our guide was Raymond, our car was a big comfortable Land Cruiser.
First we were in the Amboseli park. Fortunately, we were lucky with the weather and we saw elephants in the background of Kilimanjaro! Thanks to Raymond - we made great photos. After Amboseli we had a trip to Tanzania - and a few days later we returned to the Masai Mara Park. The number of animals was simply amazing. We filled two memory cards of 128 and 64 GB with photos, and even the phone's memory did not have free space. When we thought we had seen everything, Raymond showed us amazing new animals. Many thanks to him for his professionalism and his knowledge of animals. Marvelous!
This was the best vacation ever! Kenya is an incredibly interesting and welcoming country.

Amazing impressions!
We visited Amboseli and Masai Mara National Parks in Kenya.
Absolutely everything was great: weather, accommodations, food; the trips were very comfortable! We saw many different kinds of animals and birds in the parks.
Many thanks to our guide, Raymond! He was very professional. With his help, we managed to see all animals that we would like to look at. Moreover, we got a lot of information about animals and Kenya at all from him. Also, he helped us with many things such as documents for crossing the borders, hotel in Nairobi choosing.
We recommend Karibu Sarafis and Raymond!
