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 .

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.

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.

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

Great value safari. Fabulous wildlife spotting opportunity .
Everything was better than expected.
We opted for a budget safari experience and had relatively low expectations. Everything went amazingly well. Pick up and drop off was good, guide was knowledgable, accomodation was good, food was good. All staff we dealt with were friendly and enthusiastic. Fab experience .

One of the most amazing safari I did in Africa!! Amazing views, surprising wildlife.. 5 days of breathtaking moments!
The overall trip went very well, it was well organised and we met really nice people! The food was very good. We would have loved to feel more enthusiasm and receive more information from our guide.

No problem at all, every part of the trip is good.
First, We Climbed the Kilimanjaro mountain using Lemosho Route 8 days. The weather on these days are good, no rain at all. We live in the tents and has our own private toilet. we can see the monkey in Low attitute area.Both Romly and Dennis are very Professional. The porters, the waiter and cook are all nice and helpful. I will suggest to other people climbing the mountain with Romly and Dennis team. I carry nothing during the summit day, two guides carried every part of my equipment and water ect. without them it will be nealy imposibble to get to the Uhuru Peak. The suggested tip is around 300 till 400USD per trip. I thought it is really small amount for 13 people team to share, I decide to tip them more for hard working. The Summit day is really hard, We left around 11:30PM and made to the top Uhuru Peak around 6:45AM.
Second, the safari. Jerry is profesional guide. Savannah explorer

arrange everything really well. The Hotel we live is really good. The weather in September is dry season, no rain at all. We saw the Lions, Leopard, Servals,hippos. we live in Mount Meru Hotel in Arusha, quite nice hotel to live. We live in Maramboi Tented camp, nice hotel and the View at Swimming pool area at sunset area is really really nice. For the middle Serengeti, We live in Four season Hotel. it is a must stay hotel for us. The elephant came every day to drink water at swimming pool area is a life time memory. For the northern Serengeti, We live Kenzeni Luxury Camp. The staff there is good and helpful. The wildbreast crossing the Mara river in Northern Serengeti is also a life time memory for us. We also live two nignts at the Retreat at Ngorongoro. it is a nice hotel with beautiful Garden.Overall, Savannah Explorer arrange the trip really well. I contacted 3 companies via safaribooking. The other two companies are good, but Albert in Savannah Explorer is better. He reply the email quick and I can get every informaion I need from his reply. The Jeep in Safari is nice, and Jerry clean the Jeep everyday.
