Excellent place for safari

must respect the animals and that was well done. First the animals and then the tourists and by that way both wins.

An amazing experience. Mountaineering, Safari and Beach in a single trip.
Wildlife in Tanzania is overwhelming. Weather was not that good, with floods and long power cuts. Accommodations quite good, not so the lunch boxes during the Safari. Same food for six days. Transportation and guide excellent. It was worth it overall.

A proper adventure you will never forget

like lions and hyenas without any protection then go for it. Else i would recommend going for staying in lodges with a fence and security around at night. Lets just say Im happy i didnt read about some of the attacts thats happened on tourists before i went on the trip. In any case its definitely an adventure worth experiencing and I will never forget the sight of 1 million wildebeasts and all of the beautiful animals and scenary. Our guide was really nice and he did so well driving so many hours, however if he could improve on something it would be to tell a bit more to everyone in the car about the animals and what we were seeing, I had to ask many questions to get the info instead of him telling himself. So only if you sat in the front you could hear. Maybe a microphone or speaking up could help.

Magic scenery, amazing wildlife, unique experience, but the car broke 3 times...
The scenery and the experience was one in a lifetime.
The guide (driver) was very nice, took us to the good spots and we managed to see amazing wildlife.
The cook we had with us was also great and ate some delicious food.
Unfortunately the car was very old and let us down multiple times.
Overall the experience is something I strongly recommend but I counln'd leave out that the car gave us troubles.

Amazing sights and views, exceeded all our expectations, couldn't get enough!!
Although our international flights issues (due to SAA strike), Soul of Tanzania staff was always available and kind to reacommodate our pick up and hotel reservation in Arusha.
Since the pick up at Kilimanjaro airport, when Hassan (super nice boy!!) took us to Arusha, to the meeting with Beatus giving us a very detailed itinerary explanation, everything was great!
Ally is the most incredible person we met in Tanzania, the best guide we could ask for to share this experience, such a nice and intelligent guy, always with a smile on his face. We loved everything! The game drives were all amazing, the hotels were superb, kuddos to &Beyond Manyara Lake staff, the best we have ever met! Serengeti and Manyara were the best for the animal sights, but

Ngorongoro is just the most beatiful and incredible place!At one point, during the game drives, my friend looked at me and said she was with her jaw hurting from smiling so much LOL. We did have an one of a kind experience with some many aninal sights (all the big five and more!). The food was always on point and I am a vegetarian, so they had to go an extra mile here, but everything was always delicious.
Then we had the Zanzibar extension, what a place! We were received by Sully and he was our driver to the last day, always letting us know interesting facts and making us feel so confortable. Rashid, another amazing guy! He came to the hotel to meet us, helped us choose the best tours and booked everything from the pick up to taking us back to the hotel. In all the tours we made, Rashid was always calling the driver/guide to make sure everything was well and to talk to me to ask how it was, it really made us feel cared and safe all the time. He is so professional, polite and kind!
We were all really impressed with the organization, the kindness and attention, there was literally nothing for us to worry about, besides wake up in time... It did exceed our expectations. I am an Africa lover, I have been in SA, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Mozambique, but this was the best trip, no doubt!
And it all started with Luis, from Soul of Tanzani giving us all the attention, help and support, as you did. When we were looking for an agency, we chose 2 to get in touch with, and at that point we deciced to go with Soul of Tanzania solely because of how Luis attended us.
I really hope to come back and will for sure book Soul of Tanzania again as well as be the strongest advocate here in Brazil, to get my friends and family to do so as well.

Magnificent
We booked on safaribooking .com to Swahili Paradise budget tour for 3 friends December 2019 from Turkey . Before tour we were not sure what is waiting to us in Tanzania but we are very very lucky for book Swahili Paradise tour . Everything went similar what we talked and planned before . They took us from Kilimanjaro airport to our hotel and we stayed 1 night in Arusha next day safari begin and our guide was Steward . He is one of the best , not less but more . He is really excellent with his job . He knows every corner every side of Tarangeri Ngorongoro and especially in Serengeti . He was finding animals maybe with smelling :) but he is very talented to find animals really we couldnt understand how can he both drive and finding animals together . He is really the best if had this much fun its thanks to Steward and Swahili Paradise tour . Also our chef Mohammad wad really best . He dis the best with hard conditions. He alwyas asked us what we want and he did the best for us . Special thanks to Steward and Mohammed , they did our tour best .

An unforgetable trip
The accomodations were too budget, with a rat running between our legs while we were eating dinner.
Also too late dinner.
The scenery was perfect.
Transportation fine. The guide new a lot about the animals and places. He was kind and funny. A good guy!
Breakfast should have been served every day, and not at 1.30 in the afternoon. We needed more clearly what time to eat lunch and dinner. Lunch could have been served in bags on our trip.

6 days safari
All the safari companies seem to follow the same book for the food, tents and sometimes game circuits. So your guide/driver and car will be the main difference. Our driver/guide was very experienced, knowledgeable, nice and profesional. The car was in good condition. The food was delicious and they accommodated vegetarian meals. Our tent/bed was probably one of the best around. Campsites were ok considering the amount of people.
We chose to spend more time en the Serengeti (4d) and 2 in Tarangire and Ngrongoro as we needed the time to reach northern Serengeti (which ended up being my favorite) . In retrospective just pick one of the itineraries from their website.
Ngorongoro is a great day safari if you want too see almost al animals including

lions. In mid October was raining and the visibility was so so.Tarangire is gorgeous I loved the trees. If you don’t care too much about cats go there ( we saw a cheetah though)
Serengeti is worth all the dust you will get to reach to it...but if I you can afford it... Just fly to central and go from there. We did see the migration but no river crossing. The Mara section is gorgeous.
