About
A safari company built by a guide
Founded in Arusha in 2025 by Nora, one of the first women to guide safaris in Tanzania.
Nora's story
In her words
I am one of the first women to qualify as a safari guide in Tanzania. For years I guided for other companies and watched guests relax the moment they realised the person driving them for the next week was a woman who had grown up beside these parks. In 2025 I started Savanna Soul so that could be the normal thing, not the surprise.
Every guide on our team is a woman I have trained with or worked beside. We are small on purpose. I want to know every guest's name and every camp we send you to.
“I wanted to build the company I wished existed when I started: one where a woman at the wheel is the normal thing.”

How we work
What we always do
- Lead every safari with a licensed woman guide unless you ask otherwise
- Use private vehicles on every tailored trip; the one group departure is the only shared vehicle we run
- Reply within 24 hours and send a full itinerary within 48
- Tell you the honest answer about where the wildlife will be on your dates
- Book camps we have slept in ourselves
What we never do
- Pack the day so tight there is no time to stop
- Hide fees in the small print
- Put you in a vehicle with strangers
- Promise a sighting nobody can promise
