Safari was organized at the highest level, both the manager and the guide were very friendly and helpful. The company adapts to customer expectations.

Soul of Tanzania were great from the 1st email. Tailored the trip to suit us and it was a great experience. Everything was as advertised and the whole week ran like clockwork. I’d 100% recommend and we’ll be using them again when we come back.

Tanzania is just a great place, the experience we have made is so unique and special! People are always friendly and welcoming, and so was our guide and all the staff at the different camps and lodges. We enjoyed every single minute of our trip. The scenery is simply breathtaking and wildlife is exciting.

We got to see almost all possible animals. Accomodation was ok. The safari guide was not very good in english, and he did not know how to drive a car with manuel gearing

I had wanted to go to Africa for over 50 years... it was worth the wait! We chose Tanzania for several reasons but mostly because of safety and political stability. The fact that it had some of THE best National Parks didn't hurt either! We chose Savannah Explorers after researching nearly 100 companies and were totally satisfied with the service Roberto provided! He answered ALL my questions, made changes to the itinerary and was very efficient. The 12 day safari went off without a hitch. Our guide, George, a private contractor with SE was fabulous. Knowledgeable, fluent in English, funny, great driver and had eagle eyes! We chose September for the weather - 85 days, 65 nights - didn't miss AC at all - just perfect. We went to Arusha NP, Taragire NP, Lake Manyara and central and northern Serengeti NP. We saw so many animals and caught some amazing behaviors. Every game drive held something magical! Tanzania landscapes are varied, changing and just plain gorgeous! A true trip of a lifetime!

Great trip but 6 days was too long. Before booking, insure you have a good guide/driver

I loved the safari but did not realize how much time would be spent sitting in a jeep. I understand being on a safari means driving long distances to get to the wildlife. Both Tanzania and Kenya had amazing wildlife. I had a mix of drivers - some very good, some not so good. When the drivers spoke English and were motivated to teach, educate, it was a joy. Unfortunately, a couple drivers did not communicate well at all and this was frustrating. I also recommend shopping around for prices - the safari itself is the same for everyone (big difference is driver). In my group, some of us spent significantly more than others for the same thing.

We found everything we were looking for. With a good guide, I think it is hard to get a better safari experience. It feels like you are in the documentaries.

Our guide was wonderful, very skillful driver, extremely knowledgeable about wildlife, the area, Maasai, everything. It was the trip of a lifetime. Staying in the tent village was quite a wonderful experience and we had a Maasai warrior to walk us to our tent after dinner both nights. We saw lions hunting, zebras marching in single file, two wildebeasts fighting, an elephant scratching behind his ears, more wonders than I can recount. We saw giraffes, baboons, hippos, crocs, you-name-it. Wonderful trip, you will love it. There were beautiful serene lodges, too. The weather was wonderful about a high of 84. The food was quite good and not too strange :)

Our guide, Mussa, of Roam Serengeti Safaris did an excellent job. He communicated in a timely manner before the safari when we were making arrangements from the U.S. Every detail of itinerary came about, as planned. He was flexible and accommodating, to make it truly a custom safari that met our budget and tastes. Mussa was extremely knowledgeable and seemed to anticipate what we most wanted to know about the animals and observe--and we did see all we had hoped for, including the wildebeest migration. He was a careful driver, most appreciated since we covered many miles on our 6-day safari. He started out as our guide and ended as our friend. Equally important, we were pleased to go on safari with a young Tanzanian managing his own business. We would highly recommend Mussa and his safari company.

We had a good mix of game drive and cultural experience on our safari. We had lodged run by former street kids, run by Masai and also more luxury in some tented camps and less luxury but great vibes in tented camps in the Serengeti.
The food was good but almost everywhere the same. Our guide Christopher was the owner of a little safari tour company. He was well educated, learned us a lot of things about Tanzania, it’s people and wildlife.
We even saw the big migration in the North. The only negative thing was the very long drives; even when the scenery is overwhelming, 6 to 8 hours in a car is too long...
but overall a great experience!!
