Perfect day
Africa Merit Safaris organised a perfect day for my wife’s birthday. We were hesitating to the last minister but Oswald was still able to organise everything without any hitches. We decided to go for a walking safari in Arusha National Park. Driver waited patiently because we were a bit late. We arrived to the rangers centre in Arusha NP and driver helped us to find the ranger who took us for a walk. Despite we were told that we could be paired with other people (due to way park operates) we had a private tour. Ranger was very well informed and was happy to change route and take into account our requests. We have seen plenty animals including giraffes, warthogs and buffaloes. We got very close to the giraffe, much closer they would allow a car on a car safari! It was incredible experience. Arusha NP in the foothills of Mt Meru is a truly magical place. Later after 3 hrs walking our driver waited with boxes lunch that was delicious and well presented in cardboard lunch boxes. Oswald was incredible, very responsive and took into account all our requests. He has extensive knowledge about safari business and all parks. Price was very reasonable and came $70 cheaper (per person) than nearest competitor. We also learned that all the profit Oswald makes goes towards a local nursery and pre-school for disadvantaged children. We can thoroughly recommend Africa Merit Safaris

Trustworthy, a guarantee of success.
The Serengeti had been my dream since I was a child. I waited a lifetime, and when the time came, I wanted to be sure I would have the experience I wanted.
I contacted Osward through a personal acquaintance, explained what I wanted, and together we created a program tailored to my needs. I was not disappointed. It was an exceptional trip, from arrival to departure. The four of us traveled with a guide/driver and cook in tow. We slept in tents in a variety of locations, in close contact with nature, without barriers, from the lakes to the plains of the Serengeti to the peaks of Ngoro Ngoro. We saw every animal imaginable, an amazing Mara crossing included, thanks to George, an expert guide and fantastic travel companion who overcame every little inconvenience that can happen when traveling for 15 days on roads that are barely passable. Our cook was better than a 5-star chef in my opinion, amazing us with excellent food in every situation, from breakfast to dinner. Incredible sunsets and sunrises, unforgettable emotions, ending with a short trek on Kilimanjaro, a bike ride through fields and villages, and a dip in the hot springs in the middle of the savannah.
If you want Tanzania, go to Osward.
P.S. Don't worry about the language, Osward has a solution for everyone.

I had Oswold, and he was amazing! So kind and he had so much knowledge.
The service was really good🥰 We had an amazing time at the Napuru waterfall trail, and to Kikulweta hot springs! The communication was no problem, and i feel that we got a good price for the service we got. I even lost my wallet in Oswold’s car, and he came back to where I was staying to give it back to me. I really recomend Africa Merit Safaris!

Amazing and authentic experience in beautiful Tanzania - Kilimanjaro & Safari
Osward is a fantastic host who organized the best trips we could have wished for! Communication was easy, and the service was perfectly coordinated—from pick-up at our accommodation, throughout the entire trip, all the way to drop-off. We didn’t have to worry about a single thing.
The guides and the staff were also consistently friendly, attentive, and truly made us feel like queens. We felt extremely comfortable at all times! The value for money was excellent as well.
We took the Machame Route up to the Kili peak and were able to experience all types of vegetation along the way. It was a unique experience we will never forget.
The safari afterward was a wonderful way to relax after the challenging Kilimanjaro climb, and we even saw the Big Five! The nature was absolutely breathtaking.
I would book with Osward again anytime and can highly recommend him!

A once-in-a-lifetime experience thanks to this fantastic travel company!
My trip to Tanzania was truly unforgettable, and that's largely thanks to the excellent organization and guidance provided by this travel company. From the very first contact, they really listened to my wishes, provided clear information, and made me genuinely excited about the journey ahead.
The highlight was without a doubt climbing Mount Kilimanjaro. I hadn't originally planned to do the climb, so I didn’t bring any of the necessary gear. Luckily, I was able to rent everything I needed. Everything was perfectly arranged: experienced guides, friendly support staff, quality equipment, and a strong focus on safety. Thanks to their expert guidance, I made it to the summit — something I’ll never forget!
Afterward, I went on a 4-day safari through various national parks, including Tarangire, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro. What an adventure! Every day was different: we saw lions up close, elephants walking right by the jeep, and even spotted a leopard. The guide was not only extremely knowledgeable but also passionate about nature and shared so much insight into the animals and ecosystems.
The safari accommodations were comfortable and full of atmosphere, often in stunning locations right in the middle of nature. Everything was just right — from transport to meals to communication.
In short: I highly recommend this company to anyone looking for an adventurous, well-organized, and safe trip in Tanzania. Thank you for a journey that far exceeded my expectations!

Familiar and reliable
It was a great success to count on Africa Merit for this unique experience. Osward was the most amazing trusted and helpful person from the beginning of this journey, which actually started months before the actual trip when we first shared all our needs and questions related to the safari we wanted to do. It was a trip completely tailored-made for us and it met all our expectations. And the cherry on the cake was that we managed to see the Big Five so we also had the perfect wrap-up. Thanks to all the team for an unforgettable experience!!!
