Fantastic Safari experience
My husband and I went for our first Safari tour in February. We chose Soul of Tanzania as our tour organizer, which we can only recommend. Everything was from arrival to departure as or above expectations on the tour. The private car was in good condition. Excellent food during the drives, very nice lodges with spectacular views and very friendly personal and not least the company of our driver Roger Msengi. We had been told upfront that he was especially knowledgably about birds which really came to prove itself on the tour. Also prior to the tour, Soul of Tanzania responded immediately on our request and questions. Overall a perfect service and we will definitely recommend for others to use Soul of Tanzania as their tour organizer

An amazing, unforgettable experience!
The trip was the first one I have ever taken on a train traveling from Nairobi to Mombasa. From tickets bookings to the hotel accommodation and trips around Mombasa there was good and on-time communication, superb coordination for a big group of over thirty persons and timely response especially if one needed something in the rooms or during the mini trips. Kids activities were also good and the children really enjoyed. I would recommend Thornbird Tours especially for people who like traveling in groups.

Unforgettable experience with a lot of highlights - Many thanks at Bella and Grace
In comparisson to Kenya we saw less animals but we have seen the BIG FIVE and in addition Mountain Gorillas. All our accommodations were like expected with one extraordinary highlight. For our 25th wedding anniversery we got the honeymoon suite at Birdnest. From the first contact on we had a very good feeling with Bella and this was never disturbed by anything. A few days before we startet our roundtrip she informed us that Grace will be our guide. Grace is a very kind and lovely person. We had a lot of fun together and whenever we needed her support she helped us. In total we had a 13 days guided tour with a lot of unforgettable memories. In case that we will come back to Uganda then definitly I will do the trip again with Bella and her team. Most of the teammembers are women. I recommend Bella and her team 100%! Now after I finnished my review I noticed already that I forgot one important/interesting thing. Our car was cleaned each and every day.

Extremely happy with our tour
We booked the Gorillas, Chimps and QENP trip very late indeed. Gorilla Tours were very good in organising the trip and offered flexible solutions for the lack of desired accommodation on some nights. Our driver Norbert was excellent and quite literally saved our lives via his driving skill when a bus overtook on a corner. The vehicle was in great working order and was perfect for the tour needs. Gorilla Tours also own and use some wonderful lodges the grounds of which are full of wildlife. Uganda is a warm and friendly country and I'd recommend it as a place to visit to anyone. If you are going to go, use Gorilla Tours, you get a great service for the fraction of the price of a European based tour company. I will definitely use them again.

Unforgettable vacation thanks to the professionalism of this agency
Perfect safari. Rodrick owner of the agency has accompanied us for 6 unforgettable days. Very attentive to our safety and to satisfy our every request. He perfectly speaks more languages among which Italian which is great when you are in Tanzania where they speak only shawili and in dialects of the various tribes. Very competitive price compared to other agencies. Absolutely recommend them.

It was great and wonderfull experience.
We visited Serengheti, Ngorongoro and Lake Manyara in december 2017. I have to say, Soul of Tanzania made our visit marvellous, excellent. So if you are planning safari trip, I would strongly recommend Soul of Tanzania. They really made our trip unforgettable. They had fulfille every request we made. We were travelling with a little child and everything run smothly. Lodges were great, food also.
Our guide Pius was really nice and kind and great driver and he answered an all our questions about Tanzania, Africa, nature and the most important - animals! We saw elephants, zebras, giraffes, hippos, buffalos, lions, cheetah, and also rhinos, and many many other animals.
If I ever have a chance of visiting Tanzania again, I know that I will be contacting Soul for booking a tour :)

Very responsive agency and flexible on dates
Footslopes have been very responsive in emails and whatsapp. They are an agency that puts groups together and that has been a great experience because we met lovely people and the timing works for the 3 separate groups that we had. (5 of us) The arrangements included airport transfers, accommodation for the night before and the last night which we found to be very helpful in terms of having it all being taken care of. We opted for a budget package and were put up at Venice Hotel, clean, close to market and friendly staff.
Eric from footslopes was very friendly at the pickup and also was accommodating on the questions we had around the safari. He was also easily contactable via whatsapp/email and responded very quickly. The guide and cook were very good and we started our days on time and very early to make most of each day. Thomas, our guide, was also a very careful driver and very aware of park rules. He is also amazing at spotting animals from afar, almost like having bionic eyes!
As we were on our honeymoon, we were pleasantly surprised by being put up at a lodge at the end of our trip. A very kind and generous arrangement by Eric. It was a much welcomed gesture after a few days of camping. (Also first time camping since high school!)
One thing to be aware of is the payment arrangements culture where it is all settled upfront. (For Park fee payments, supplies, etc). Coming from an environment where payment is made in stages or when services have been received, it was something to get used to. Eric did a good job reassuring us and it was all hakuna matata after all.
