Incredible experience!
I can't say enough good things about our experience with Soul of Tanzania and our guide, Cleopa. Our booking agent, Hugo, was incredibly helpful and answered all of our questions promptly.
Upon arrival from Kenya at the regional airport in Tanzania, our guide, Cleopa, was there to greet us. He made us feel very comfortable from the moment we met him. We climbed into the Land Cruiser and immediately set off to 'look for lions' in the park. As luck had it, we not only found lions, but also a rare sighting of a leopard sleeping in a tree, the carcass of a recent kill hanging beside it, a Cheetah with a small cub next to the road, as well as hippos, several hyenas, male lions sleeping atop rock outcroppings and a mother lion and cubs perched above us on a large rock idly observing us as we observed them. Just when we thought we couldn't top those, we came across two female lions and several cubs devouring a zebra they had recently killed. Amazing! And all in just one afternoon!
Cleopa used his skills as a guide, along with his network of friends and colleagues, to find where the wildlife was, and the best spots to take great photos. He even stopped to help another guide change a flat tire, and was always willing to lend a hand when needed.
Our accommodation while in the Serengeti, Tamba Tent Camp, was very comfortable and we enjoyed dining in the large main hall. The food was terrific and the staff were wonderful. They also had a lovely pool which was very refreshing after a long hot day in the vehicle.
Our trip continued with lunch amidst the Great Migration (amazing!), a long drive across the Olduvai Gorge, on to the Ngorongoro Crater and eventually to our last stop at Lake Manyara. We continued to see incredible sights all along the way and our accomodations, Lion's Paw in the Crater and Best View Lodge at Lake Manyara were top notch with incredible views and the nicest people!
Cleopa continued to find amazing wildlife moments, great lunch spots, and washrooms just in time! He always made us feel safe and his knowledge of wildlife behavior was impressive, to say the least.
If you are looking for a safari company who can meet all of your needs, wants and desires for an amazing trip to Tanzania and all of its wondrous sights, I highly recommend Soul of Tanzania! And, ask for Cleopa to be your guide. . . he's the best!

Good professionals that know what they speak about
We did the 3 day safary at Nyerere national park. It was a really good choice as at Asante bibi tours know a lot about animals, culture and they always try to make all the activities as much entertained as possible.

Excellent Customized Safari Experience in Kenya & Tanzania
After researching many tour operators and getting quotes from more than five, I chose Morning Star Tours & Travel because they provided a fully transparent breakdown of costs, including hotels, entrance fees, jeeps, and meals. That clarity was the main reason I decided to work with them. We booked a customized Kenya and Tanzania safari in July for our group of 15, with three well-maintained jeeps, clean and comfortable hotels, and the flexibility to book our own hotels in certain towns.
I didn’t realize how exceptional their service would be until the tour began—starting with a surprise African safari dance group welcoming us at the airport at 3 a.m.! Our travel consultant, Alice, followed up with us regularly during the trip, and even came to meet us in person to re-assure accommodation arrangements. The team’s arrangements were incredibly thorough, and all our questions before and during the trip were answered promptly.
I have no regrets choosing them, only gratitude. I would highly recommend Morning Star Tours & Travel to all future visitors looking for a personalized, well-organized, and memorable safari experience.

Our Guide, Francis is the best in knowledge and commitment in his work
With a guide like Francis, we got to see many animals. His commitment allows us to capture many beautiful photographs. He explained many animal behaviours which make ETA safari very informative and interesting. Thank you ETA.

Awesome experience!
We had an incredible 8-day safari exploring Amboseli, Naivasha, Nakuru, and Maasai Mara with Leopard Orchid Safaris. From the moment I booked with Michael, everything felt smooth and reassuring. He was highly responsive, patiently answered all my detailed questions, and offered a competitive quote that made planning easy and stress-free.
Despite our late arrival at Nairobi airport, we were warmly welcomed by Michael and James(the company director). On the morning our safari began, Michael, James, and our guide Lawrence met us at our hotel for a thorough briefing. Their professionalism and attention to detail immediately put us at ease, and we felt well cared for throughout the journey.
Our guide Lawrence was kind, knowledgeable, and accommodated everything we needed during the trip. Thanks to his expertise, we witnessed some truly once-in-a-lifetime wildlife moments: a pride of lions hunting, a dramatic river crossing of the Great Migration, and a cheetah feasting on its prey. Among the Big Five, we saw 28 lions, countless elephants and buffalos, and 2 rhinos. While we didn’t spot a leopard, we did see two cheetahs up close. Lawrence was very skilled at positioning the vehicle for us to get the best views possible, while always being mindful of other vehicles around us. He enriched our experience by teaching us about animal behavior, local culture, and Kenyan history. His careful driving, both on the road and during safari, made us feel safe every step of the way.
The lodges and camps selected by Leopard Orchid were comfortable and well located for maximizing our game drives. One morning, we even woke up to zebras grazing just outside our cabin.
Every day of this safari was memorable. We definitely recommend Leopard Orchid Safaris, especially with Lawrence as a guide.

Tanzania: A once in a lifetime experience
We chose Nkollo Tours for our honeymoon safari after months of researching different tour companies, and we’re really glad we did. From the start, Allan was incredibly helpful, he answered all our questions quickly and thoroughly, was flexible with special requests, and offered a wide range of accommodation options. We stayed in seven different places, and each one was clean, comfortable, and welcoming, with friendly staff and great food.
The payment process was simple: half upfront, half when we arrived. Once we landed in Tanzania, everything was already arranged. Kareem picked us up from the airport, and from that moment on, we didn’t have to worry about a thing. Meeting Allan in person was also a nice touch, he made us feel genuinely welcomed and cared for.
After a relaxing first night in Arusha, we began our safari adventure. We spent five days exploring Lake Manyara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, and Tarangire, and we were incredibly lucky to have Emmanuel as our guide. Emmanuel was the heart of our safari, his deep knowledge of wildlife, sharp eye for spotting animals, and warm personality made every day unforgettable. He made sure we saw the Big Five and so much more, and he took the time to share stories and insights about Tanzanian culture that added real depth to the experience. He was patient, thoughtful, and clearly passionate about what he does. Traveling with him felt like being with a friend who genuinely wanted us to have the best experience possible.
After the safari, we did a day trip to Materuni Waterfall and the Chagga village. Kareem drove us there and joined us for the coffee tour and traditional meal afterward, which were both well organized and really enjoyable. The hike to the waterfall was beautiful but slippery, a perfect way to wind down after the excitement of the safari.
Overall, our honeymoon with Nkollo Tours was everything we hoped for and more. Everyone we met was kind, professional, and easy to talk to. The whole trip felt personal, well thought out, and full of moments we’ll never forget. We’d absolutely recommend Nkollo Tours to anyone planning a safari in Tanzania and we can't wait to go back.

Wonderful trip, saw so many animals!
We had a wonderful trip with Isa and his staff in July 2025. We did a 12 day mobile safari from Maun to Victoria Falls. We also added two optional activities (meerkat/atv tour and boat ride in chobe NP).
In the booking process, Isa is extremely responsive to all inquiries, he writes back very quickly! He is also able to adjust to your requests- my fiance needed wifi access to check his work email during the trip, and Isa let us use his starlink so we could have access even at remote campsites.
The trip was wonderful. Isa is very good at locating animals- we were often the first ones at a sighting. We felt extremely lucky to have him as our guide. He is very knowledgeable about all the animals, and even can you tell you lots of the individual animal’s stories. Throughout the trip, we saw lions, cheetahs, leopards, wild dogs, and many more animals!
The camp was comfy, the tent was very large. The food was wonderful!
We are so glad we chose this company!!

Well organised and do their best to ensure customer satisfaction.
We had a marvellous adventure. Our game driver Francis who is super friendly was really really excellent. He has in-depth knowledge about the animals and his passion in the game drive looking for animals and chasing the migration was truly a memorable experience. His love for the animals and ability to spot and read the animals behaviour made it extremely informative and exciting. He really goes the extra mile to ensure we see as many animals as possible, waits patiently for us to get great photo shots and most importantly our comfort and safety.
