5-Day Living Among Lions - Mid-Range

Perfect Safari

We were genuinely happy to have loved our experience with Soul of Tanzania. Congratulations to the excellent, competent, and always helpful guides, and for the excellent organization of the trip. Your guides have a feeling and an eye for spotting an animal from a long distance. FANTASTIC. They know how to create a very friendly atmosphere with the client. It's a good thing we went during the "off-season," because at one point there were almost 50 jeeps "on top" of one animal. The staff, as well as the service at the accommodations, was always impeccable. It's good to feel that our money was well spent on this trip, which will certainly remain in our memories forever. This victory is something no one can take away from you or from us. Our children and grandchildren say they want to come on the next safari too. Thank you very much.

Amazing

We just finished a five full-day tour in Tarangire, Ngorongoro, and Serengeti. Our guide was Julieth and things couldn’t have been better: great weather, so many animals, and the best guide ever. We had so many amazing experiences that were driven by Julieth’s experience and knowledge. We learned a ton, took hundreds of pictures of animals, and made memories that will stay with us for a lifetime. The only thing we would add is that late January is the perfect time due to all of the animal babies and fewer tourists. Thank you Soul of Tanzania and especially Julieth!

Trip of a lifetime.

We had an amazing experience!! We did the 8 day Tanzania tour. We spent time at Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Serengeti, Ngorogoro Crater and Lake Eyasi. We had Sammy (Samwel) as our guide. He was the best!!! Funny, kind, informative and helpful in every way. We felt like family. We asked to change our last day at the last minute and he drove us around Arusha and we got to see where he grew up and MT Kilimanjaro in the distance. He was great at spotting animals and we saw the big 5!!! We still yell “Buuuuusshhh Chickens” to this day. Only thing I’d change is skip Lake Eyasi and spend another day in the crater.

Perfect holiday with the perfect driver!!!

Glorious 3 week holiday in Zanzibar and Northern Tanzania! After not a few forays into East Africa this was the winner ... and all thanks to the people behind the scenes helping us plan like Manuel ... and the driver who rules them all ... JAMES KAAYA!!! The variety of places we wanted to go and the experiences we hoped to have all came to life seamlessly, safely and was nothing short of good times with plenty of laughs! The historic walks through the sites of Zanzibar, the water activities of the ephemeral Indian Ocean, and trek through the monkey-filled forests were a solid introduction to the country. However the Star of the Show was the safari adventures with James at the wheel! He possessed an uncanny ability to spot animals from far and near, to make predictions where animals would be when all the other drivers seemed to be clustered in the wrong spots and to get us within what seemed like touching distance of each and every animal of the National Parks and Conservation Areas! We easily ticked every box of our hit list. Lions exceeded 100, cheetahs and leopards by the dozen, gnus in the thousands. James seemed to know people in every park, hamlet, and nondescript backroad we traversed endlessly both giving and receiving tips on where the hot spots were that day. We passed not a few breakdowns, drivers and despondent looking tourists stuck in muddy ravines and wheels spinning along lakeshores, but our James navigated these obstacles effortlessly, patiently and always kept us safe! Not only did he never get lost but on several other occasions helped other drivers find their accomadations! He seemed to have a built-in GPS! We really felt like we won the Driver Lottery this time! Well played Mr James Kaaya! And thank you Unlimited Expeditions - Soul of Tanzania! We shall return!
