A word from Nora
Nora is one of the first women safari guides in Tanzania, with 10 years and 300+ safaris behind the wheel. She founded Savanna Soul Safaris in 2025.
We plan tailored northern-circuit trips: Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, Tarangire, Lake Manyara. A woman guide leads every one of them.
Tell us your dates and who is coming. We reply within 24 hours and send a day-by-day itinerary within 48.
Why Savanna Soul
Nora has guided the Serengeti and the crater for 10 years and 300+ safaris. Licensed, first-aid trained, at the wheel of her own 4x4. You are in expert hands from the airport to the last game drive.
A private vehicle, a route built for your dates and your group, and a guide who reads the day: an earlier start for a crossing, a longer stop when the children need one.
Nora is one of the country's first women safari guides, and Savanna Soul trains the next. Every trip you book puts another woman at the wheel.

“We had a 4-day safari with Nora as our guide and we couldn't have it any better. We did the Tarangire, Ngorongoro, Ndutu, Serengeti tour and it was perfect. We saw all the animals, including a leopard and a serval cat, and of course 10000000 wildebeasts and zebra's due to the great migration. … When we asked to experience a bit more of the local culture, she took us to a village to have a local authentic meal.”
Twan, Nibbixwoud, The Netherlands 4-day family safari, February 2026
“Norah is an exceptional guide. She was one of the main highlights of a truly amazing trip. … She provided a safe, educational, exciting adventure. … I visited my 100th country with her and can truly say that she made it one of the best trips I have EVER experienced.”
Laura M Solo safari, July 2026
“We had the most wonderfull safari with Norah. The best guide ever. Warm heartet, authentic, one hell of a ranger and driver and an inspiring role model for everybody, especially women in Tanzania.”
Helene Bang L Family safari, December 2025
“Her knowledge of the bush and wildlife was nothing short of astonishing. Norah could spot animals from extraordinary distances. … If there is one guide I would trust to design and lead a safari itinerary in Tanzania from start to finish, it would absolutely be her.”

A note from Nora
“I wanted to build the company I wished existed when I started: one where a woman at the wheel is the normal thing.”
Nora is one of the first women to qualify as a safari guide in Tanzania. She founded Savanna Soul Safaris in 2025 after years guiding for other operators, and still leads trips herself.

Giving back
Women guides are still rare in Tanzania. Savanna Soul trains and mentors women into the job, and the trips we run help pay for that.
How giving back worksDestinations

Endless plains, and the largest animal migration on earth.
A whole ecosystem inside the walls of an ancient volcano.
Ancient baobabs, and the biggest elephant herds in the north.
A narrow park between the Rift wall and a soda lake.
Mount Meru, the Momella lakes, and the one park you can walk and paddle.
Where the safari ends: warm water, old town, and nothing to do.
The Great Migration
More than a million wildebeest, with zebra alongside, circle the Serengeti every year. At the river they gather on the bank, wait, and then go all at once.
Nora plans a migration trip around where the herds are that month and keeps you within reach of them for several days. Nobody can promise you a crossing. Days in the right place are what give you the chance of one.
How it works
Two minutes on the planning form, or a WhatsApp message. Dates, who is coming, roughly what you want to spend.
Within 48 hours you have a day-by-day plan, camps we have actually slept in, and a clear price.
Your guide meets you at the airport and stays with you until you fly home.
One question here, the rest in the planner. Nora's team calls or messages you back within 24 hours.

Six to nine months for migration season (July to October) and Christmas, because the best camps fill first. Three months is usually fine for the rest of the year. Last-minute trips are possible; ask and we will tell you what is open.
The pace and the small decisions. Where comfort stops happen, how camps are briefed about you, how children are kept busy, how a solo traveller is met at the airport. Our guides are licensed and first-aid trained, and they notice the things that make a long day easy.
Park and conservation fees, a private 4x4 with a pop-up roof, your guide, all accommodation and meals on safari, airport transfers, drinking water and government taxes. International flights, visas, travel insurance, tips and optional activities such as ballooning are not included.
Yellow fever is required only if you arrive from a country with a risk of transmission. Malaria prevention is recommended for all of Tanzania. Speak to a travel clinic six weeks before you fly; we send a health note with every itinerary.
