Safari trip of a lifetime
We want to extend our biggest thank you to jacob and buga who made our safari memorable. The entire team at Meru Slopes were so helpful and so accommodating, if you’re still hesitating between different tours, we wholeheartedly reccomend them with no hestitation. We had dozens of quotes from different companies and Meru Slopes were the most accommodating in term of budget and itinerary.
We took a 4 days-3 nights package with them in mid-May. We wanted to see Tarangire, Serengeti and the Ngorongoro crater. Our itinerary was very well planned, nothing to stress about on our side. They came to pick us up from the airport the day before and offered accomodation for the night. We paid a 15% deposit before to confirm and we finalized everything when we got to the hotel. They helped us get free card sims (which was such a nice thing to do) and helped with the whole set up as well.
While other tours offered boxed lunches and sometimes dinners, Meru Slopes went above and beyond and provided us with hot (and amazing!) meals throughout the day. Bouga (our cook) is unmatched and his food was so tasty, we often wanted seconds. If you book with them, definitely ask for Bouga as a cook.
Our driver and guide Jacob was amazing as well. He knows the parks like the back of his hand, he is very knowledgeable in all the animals in the park and he will answer any questions we have. There was a water bottle in our seats every morning and electricity in the car (even though sometimes it didn’t work as well). They also offered wifi but that wasn’t working as much either so don’t expect a strong connection.
We slept two nights in lodges and one in tents when we were supposed to do one in a lodge and two in a tent, so that was very nice surprise.
As a disclaimer, whether you book with this company or another, please be mindful of the Masai village tour. Not in a way to discredit the villages and the people, but more as a critique of the practice (that is widely done by many other companies). Before booking our tour, we made sure to ask that we do not do it, as we believe that people should not have to sell out their cultural practices in order to make a living. We wanted to support in other ways, but it was surprisingly part of our program even if we didn’t ask for it. We love learning about different cultures but in a way that is ethical and that truly supports the lifestyle of those people without them having to monetize on it. So unless you insist on doing it, we would recommend against it, and instead, look for programs that directly help the villages and their people (whether that’s with money, buying their creations as souvenirs, or supporting the preservation of their traditions and culture in Tanzania). One of the things we wish we did was get more knowledge of the Masaai tribe and other tribes in Tanzania prior to our trip, to make sure we knew how to best support them while we were there. So we definitely recommend getting informed beforehand.
Overall, if you were like us and were hesitating between the million tour companies and wasn’t sure about this one, book this one! no regrets!

One of the most perfect travel adventures ever!
There were so many great things to say about ABC. Most important, the staff was knowledgeable, kind and fun. The accommodations were incredibly comfortable with all of the amenities one would need.
Two pieces of advice: If you want, explore other options besides driving safaris. We felt exhilarated by the walking safaris, but didn't know they were options except when they were offered. We grew a little weary being in the truck twice a day, and our bodies were thankful of the alternative.
Also, bring cash for tipping; if you are from somewhere other than Southern Africa, you will want to plan ahead to get sufficient cash. You will want to tip generously because all of the staff are amazing and deserve it!!

Great service.
Serengeti Wakanda Tours and Safaris helped us tailor the perfect adventure. Courteous and efficient Felix was on hand to help and answer all our questions. He was the best of drivers. Great sightings, lovely accommodation and food. The 5 🌟 surprise of finding a hot water bottle warming our welcoming bed after a long and exciting day was the 'perfect' touch 👌

Many thanks to Lilian for organizing such an incredible safari trip for us.
The experience was truly amazing, and we enjoyed every minute of it. The nature and all the different herds we saw were just incredible. A special shoutout to our guide, Simon, who made the trip even more memorable with his knowledge and expertise. My wife and I can’t wait to visit again in the future.

Everything ran perfectly with them
Since the taylor made schedule they proposed considering what I asked, till the tours itselves. Considering the complexity of them, with lots of border crossing, it was impressive

Best safari of my life
We really had the best time during our safari and enjoyed every second. Suricata organized everything SUPER and everything worked out without a hitch. We had stunning accommodations, great guides and very, very, very good food. Thank you Suricata for this experience! The next time we come to Tanzania, we will book with Suricata again immediately!

This was the best experience ever. I would really recommend to do the trip with Suricati Safaris, because they offer you a perfect experience (top guide, nice lodges and very helpful and friendly staff). Nothing to complain about.

An Unforgettable Safari Adventure in the Masai Mara!
Five stars simply aren't enough to express the incredible experience we had on this safari with Kevic Tours! From the moment we embarked on the Nissan 4x4 safari jeep, we were comfortable and happy. Our driver/guide, Douglas, was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about the wildlife. He effortlessly navigated us through the vast plains, spotting every animal imaginable, from the majestic giraffes to the elusive cheetahs.
The accommodations were comfortable and the food was delicious, with fresh local ingredients and stunning views. But the real highlight was witnessing the incredible diversity of wildlife in their natural habitat. We saw proud lion kings lounging in the sun, wild jackals hunting, and several playful families of elephants grazing along the side of the road.
The entire experience was truly unforgettable. The friendly staff, the breathtaking scenery, and the incredible wildlife made this safari tour a once-in-a-lifetime adventure. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for an authentic and immersive safari experience.
Our booking was the 2-nights Best Budget Tour from Nairobi. The safari car was in a great shape and outran many of the other vehicles on difficult terrain, where many safari groups got stuck in the mud. All throughout, the communication with Grace, our main contact at Kevic, was friendly and highly professional. We recommend the Ashnil Mara Camp as well as the Hippo Bar at Keekorok Lodge.
Thank you very much!

Davis is very familiar with birding and the area where he operates. I traveled with him already two times. I’ve had thoroughly organized, completely trouble free trips with a highly knowledgeable and personable guide, I would highly recommend him for your trip to Uganda. Mietek Kuzma
