We felt safe and knew that we could trust him all the way ! Ronald was great to book the trip and was very quick and available for any questions.

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.

A fantastic Honey moon experience
Full credit to Fahari Uganda Safaris for being part of my sweet
journey in our marriage story. I started planning my wedding in
October 2018 and full activities crossed into the New Year. My wife
Marvis and I were not decided about the destination, but David from
Fahari Uganda Safaris gave us options which allowed us to make quick
decisions in the last minute hustles in February 2019. Fahari Uganda
Safaris not only got us a good offer at Murchison Falls National Park,
they did the entire booking and transport which allowed us time to
have a fabulous time. Thank you Fahari Uganda Safaris. You made our trip colorful and fun.

Must choose, Polite and reasonable price
I did try to contact couple of other companies but Wakanda Tours gave me a very reasonable quote including my complimentary stay in Hotel and additional Airport pick/drop off. Bartho was super responsive from the very first day. He was right on time to pick me up from Kilimanjaro Airport and we drove to Arusha for an hour. He is well informed about Tanzania and East Africa in general. I went for one day Tarangire National Park, well worth it. I did not have enough time for Serengeti. Bartho friend and coworker wake me up and coordinated with my Safari driver. I say must go with Wakanda Tour for any tours. Believe me you can contact others but I found Wakanda is the best. Enjoy Safari Enjoy Tanzania Enjoy East Africa.

High efficiency with great service!
We booked our safari/trip to Kenya very last minute. This tour operator was very responsive with communications and sought to fulfill the requirements to our trip as we wanted it. All planning was done a week prior to our trip but with great help and good suggestions from the tour operator!
We were greeted at the airport and escorted to our safari van with our driver for our journey. The car was nice and clean - and the driver was kind, fun and informative! Great company and awesome guide to have on a safari with good knowledge about animals and the country etc.
Great service and the tour indeed lived up to all our expectations. We had an awesome trip with Seven By Far!! Thanks!

Everything was perfect
Ahmed, the owner, was fast in his reply and very helpful. I got an answer for everything I wanted to know before booking the safari with them. The accomodation, organization and Selous game reserve were up to my expectations. Ibra, the driver was AMAZING, you could see that he's very experienced and loves his job. We felt safe during the jurney from Dar Es Salaam to Selous (5-6 hours) and during the safari too. He's one of those guys that likes to answer your questions, but also knows that's not always necessary to talk. We asked him many things about Tanzanian culture too and he was very helpful, it was a pleasure to know him.
