Soul of Tanzania

Description

If you only have one day for a safari, we recommend a day tour to the closest national parks: Tarangire or Lake Manyara National Park. IN FACT, THE PARK HAS THE LARGEST CONCENTRATION OF ELEPHANTS IN THE WHOLE COUNTRY AND PROVIDES UNIQUE CHANCES TO OBSERVE THE INTERACTION BETWEEN ELEPHANT FAMILIES.

Itinerary

Unlimited Expeditions - The Soul Of Tanzania

We will pick you up from your hotel at Arusha at 8am and take you to a very special national park. Tarangire is famous for its diverse landscape with nine different vegetation zones. The park is particularly known for the abundance of Ancient Baobab trees (the largest trees in the continent) which fill the landscape and dwarf the animals next to them. The river of the park is full of wildlife ranging from a large variety of birds to lions, leopards, zebras, giraffes, buffaloes, antelopes and, of course, elephants. In fact, the park has the largest concentration of elephants in the whole country and provides unique chances to observe the interaction between elephant families. The lunch area is fascinating, boasting an observatory with amazing views to the river and wildlife (with good chances of seeing a hunt while having your picnic). In the afternoon we will still do a game drive before returning to Arusha (around 5pm to 6pm is the return time).

Safe Safari Adventure With Friendly, Knowledgeable Locals and Luxury Stays

I went on a five-day safari to Tarangire, Lake Manyara, the Serengeti, and Ngorongoro Crater with a group of 12 for my friend’s 40th birthday. It was a truly life changing experience. Hugo in the office was a pleasure to correspond with, and my friend who did the planning said he was accommodating. Our group filled two Land Cruisers and we switched off cars in order to learn from both drivers. Simon and Dao were friendly, professional, knowledgeable and funny. It was obvious they love what they do. They introduced us to Tanzanian culture, flora and fauna. I couldn’t believe all the animals they were able to spot while driving. Both emphasized safety first and we all felt secure with them behind the wheel. We got a flat tire at one point and they handled it quickly with no time lost. Our group was sad to say goodbye at the end of our trip. We saw the big five more than once and learned so much about the landscape, animals and native tribes. My worldview expanded more than any other international trip I’ve taken.

Operator response

Thank you so much for your beautiful review! We are truly happy to know that your safari through Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro became such a memorable and life-changing experience. It means a lot to hear that Simon and Dao made you feel safe, comfortable, and entertained while sharing their knowledge and passion for Tanzania. We’ll be sure to share your kind words with them! It was a pleasure having your group with us, and we hope to welcome you back to Tanzania for another unforgettable adventure. Warm wishes, The Safari Team

Amazing safari with soul of Tanzania!!

Soul of Tanzania was a great company to work with for a safari! Specifically we worked with Marta and she was awesome. Very responsive, was able to answer all of our questions and concerns, offered great options and more. We had the best trip with no issues, amazing guides and accommodations, and also saw all the animals! I would highly recommend them for a safari.

Amazing and unforgettable safari!

We had a fantastic safari experience overall, with amazing wildlife sightings and unforgettable moments. Thanks to Hugo who planned the trip for us and ensured every detailed and itinerary matches our wishes. A special mention to our driver and guide, Rogers, who was absolutely fantastic. He did everything he could to make our experience perfect, took us everywhere, searched tirelessly for the animals and always went the extra mile. He was knowledgeable, patient, professional and genuinely passionate about his job. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide! One important tip for future travellers: make sure to specify that you want a modern vehicle in very good condition, as many safari cars are quite old. Since you spend most of the day in the vehicle, comfort really matters. And don’t forget to bring masks or something to cover your face, as there can be a lot of dust on the roads. Overall, a wonderful safari and a very special experience thanks to Hugo and Rogers!

Operator response

Thank you so much for sharing your detailed review! We’re delighted to hear that you had such a fantastic and unforgettable safari experience. We’re especially happy to hear that Hugo was able to tailor the itinerary to your wishes and make sure every detail was well planned. And it’s wonderful to know that Rogers went above and beyond throughout your safari. His patience, professionalism, knowledge, and passion for wildlife truly make a difference, and we’re thrilled that he helped create such memorable experiences for you. We also appreciate your practical advice for future travellers regarding vehicle comfort and the dusty roads. These are very useful tips, and we’re grateful that you took the time to share them. Thank you again for choosing us and for your kind words about Hugo and Rogers. We hope to welcome you back to Tanzania for another unforgettable adventure!

Amazing experience of a lifetime

Just finished off an 8 day safari with our guide Edward. We went through tarangire, lake manyara, ngorongoro and central and north Serengeti. Edward has been a safari guide for 20 years and his experience definitely shows. He knows the park like the back of his hand. He set very realistic expectations for us but he also tailored every day to give us the best chance of seeing the animals we hoped to find. We saw so many amazing things on this trip and we will remember it for the rest of our lives. Edward took great care of us at all times and we really enjoyed getting to know him.

Operator response

It’s wonderful to know that Edward’s experience, knowledge, and dedication helped make the trip so special. After so many years guiding in Tanzania, his ability to create realistic expectations while giving guests the best opportunities for incredible sightings is truly invaluable. Thank you for your kind words about Edward and for choosing to travel with us. We’re so happy that you returned home with memories that will last a lifetime, and we hope to welcome you back to Tanzania one day for another safari adventure!

In the heart of Africa...with Africa brl heart!

5 days safari in Taragire, Serengeti and Ngoro Ngoro...just GREAT! Our guide Eduard was great in accompanying us on this journey. He searched patiently for animals, you told us in simple words so many details, he was tireless and always smiling and helpful: in a nutshell he and the wonders of nature made this holiday unforgettable. The experience with a tour operator on site was absolutely positive, we recommend and will do it again.

Operator response

Siamo felici che abbiate apprezzato l’esperienza con un operatore locale e vi ringraziamo per la raccomandazione. Saremo lieti di accogliervi di nuovo per un’altra avventura in Africa!

5 unforgettable days on safari

I never believed that being in Tanzania could feel like being in a living, real dream. Thanks to the guide we had, James, we lived the experience to the fullest, seeing the Big Five and animals we had never seen or even known about before, but that are absolutely amazing. James’s driving skills were incredible, and the whole time we spent in the jeep felt very cozy. Without a doubt, I would recommend experiencing it with this company.

Operator response

It’s wonderful that James helped you make the most of every moment, from spotting the Big Five to discovering new and unexpected wildlife. His driving skills and ability to create a comfortable atmosphere really make a difference during the journey. We truly appreciate your recommendation and are glad you chose to travel with us. We hope to welcome you back for another adventure in Tanzania someday.
