Outstanding Short Safari
We only had 3 days available, but Martin put together a fantastic game viewing itinerary including Sweetwater camp and Samburu. Everything went smoothly with Martin being an excellent guide. We saw Lions, Cheetahs and Leopards in our short time including many other animals.
I highly recommend Fede Tours and Martin.

Review about Ngorongoro Crater by Kadir
The crater is full with animals. In a short time you can see a lot of different animals. It's beautiful and my favorite.

Amazing safari with Classic Journeys
We were 4 persons and we spent 4 days in Masai Mara. All the 4 days were amazing and the safari agency (Classic Journeys) did a great job organizing for us a unbelievable moment. Everything was better than our expectations: the accommodation , the food and of course the guide. Everyday day of game driving was a surprise and we had the impression being in the scenery of Lion King.
Highly recommended.

there are too less stars to give ...
Last year we made one of the most, maybe the most amazing experience in our life! We have seen so much wilderness, so much pure nature and so many animals, that we can not believe even today. On this way we would like to thank our driver and guide Mansoor for our wonderful trip to and through mikumi national park and the awesome selous. We had a very nice time, because we had a very experienced and professional scout. The car was comfortable, even on roads "with african massage for free". So we can and will recommend this organizer without any ifs or buts.

It was a great Trip in Botswana. We've seen so so many animals. Not only birds, also cats were Sam's speciality. We've seen more than ever. He's a very good tracker. Thanks a lot for another unforgettable journey in africa.

Very well organized!
We were a very large group of 37 people. We all agreed it was an amazing experience! It was so well organized. Everything from the planning before the trip and the trip itself was flawless. Everyone was super helpful and we got all changes we wanted.

I was pleased with the service and communication provided.
We were a group from an American university and our trip had lots of moving parts and expectations. The tour operator staying in good communication with me (the group leader), and our drivers always arrived early for our departures and were flexible in terms of meeting our group's needs. In addition, our drivers were knowledgeable, friendly, and they looked out for our group's best interest. I will look to work with this tour operator again.

Words can't describe it
My girlfriend and I returned last week from a fabulous 9 day 8 night safari. We went to Tarangire, Manyara, Central and Southern Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater and Lake Eyasi. So rather than go on about the amazing wildlife - (wildebeest migration and big 5 etc.) incredible birds and beautiful landscapes that everyone talks about (and for good reason) here are some other thoughts.
Luis at Soul of Tanzania made the whole planning process pretty easy and quickly answered any questions via email. He also made some good recommendations during our phone call to help with our planning.
Even after all that I was still unsure about wiring thousands of dollars to some bank in Tanzania! So I emailed 10 people from different parts of the world who posted positive reviews about SOT on Tripadvisor. 9 out 10 people responded to me within a couple of days and everyone of them verified that they wrote the review, and reassured me that SOT was completely trustworthy.
So after an hour delay through immigration and customs I was pretty relieved when our driver met us at the airport. TIP: regardless of what you might read or hear, get your visa online in advance and avoid an hour wait at the airport.
Our guide Paul was the ultimate professional and is just a great person. He never got tired or annoyed when we asked the same question many times during our 9 days together. He was extremely safe driving in some pretty challenging muddy conditions. He continually pointed out animals and birds that we wouldn’t have seen otherwise and had an incredible amount of knowledge about them. It was like taking a mini-course on African animals and plant life. Paul was patient every time I asked him to stop so I could take a picture of yet another bird. Now the question is what to do with 4000 bird pictures?
If you want a completely different and unusual cultural experience visit the Datoga and Hadzabe tribes in Lake Eyasi. It’s pretty far off the beaten path but it’s also something that may not exist in the future.
Driving around all day on bumpy dirt roads is pretty tiring. Moving from camp to camp almost daily is also a little stressful. Hindsight being 20-20 I would probably limit the number of places visited and stay longer at each one. However I do not regret our itinerary and definitely recommend Soul of Tanzania.
