Inspired Feet Safari offers reasonable fee and very reliable service and convenient payment platform
5/5

Before heading to Kenya I approached 3 different tour operators for quotations for a budget Safari. Inspired Foot Safari offered the best and comprehensive package for a 4D3N Safari budget tour to Masaai Mara and Lake Nakuru. Other operators were offering only 3D2N package for the same price. I was so happy with the offer I 'confirmed' the package but forgot to contact Fiona to book. I only realize my mistake the day before and quickly contacted Fiona and to my surprise she mange to arrange everything within an hour.

On the day of the start of the Safari tour Fiona made sure that me and my wife were assigned to a good safari truck driven by an experience driver named James that she has been working with for more than 13 years. James made our Safari memorable with his skillful driving and more importantly his skill to locate the animals that we wanted to see. The camp allocated for us was also good and had an ensuite bathroom.

After we came back Fiona also made effort to ask us about our experience and what she could have done better! After that we wanted to go and experience Mombasa and realize it was not possible to book the train online unless you have a M-Pesa account. Again Fiona offered her service to help us book the train using her account!

Thank you again Fiona for making our trip a memorable one and thank you for your attentiveness and your willingness to go the extra mile to assist your customer.

An absolute legend!!!
5/5

We booked this tour through our hostel and had Fidel as our guide for a 3 day safari. We had the most incredible time! Fidel was an absolute legend - very knowledgeable and passionate about his job. He did everything he could to ensure we saw every animal. We were constantly surrounded by lions and elephants and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I felt very safe the entire time, despite being so close to the animals. Fidel knew the best spots. We stayed in the tended accommodation. The food was incredible, and beds were very comfy.

Great experience
5/5

We had an overall great experience with Serengeti Smile. From start to finish, we thoroughly enjoyed our holiday. It was very easy to communicate and book our safari and beach trip with Godian. He planned a fantastic itinerary that perfectly suited our needs.

Our tour guide and driver, Lucas, was excellent. He was knowledgeable, punctual, energetic, and, most importantly, exceeded our expectations. We would definitely recommend him as a tour guide to anyone booking with Serengeti Smile.

The accommodations arranged by Serengeti Smile were amazing, and the hospitality was exceptional.

We hope to return to Tanzania and will definitely book with Serengeti Smile again.

Incredible Wonderful Unforgettable Perfect and so on ….
5/5

The most important thing first: The tour was absolutely incredible. I would definitely recommend Nature Responsible Safari Uganda. You take part in a perfectly planned trip that still offers enough space for individual adjustments. I have never experienced anything like it before. Bravo!
Uganda! Not only is the landscape beautiful, impressive and varied, the people are also friendly and helpful. The rich wildlife is spectacular. Isolde and Jones from Nature Responsible Safari Uganda, who also accompanied us on the trip, presented us with a full bag of impressions beautifully packaged.

The drivers Fred and Clinton (should I actually say drivers? Actually they were more like guides with a broad knowledge of their country) drove us safely in the very comfortable vehicles and were also very patient on the game drives when it was time to get the ultimate photo.
The accommodations were also very well chosen, either they were above average or they were good and very well located, which is important given the sometimes poor road conditions, for example if you want to go gorilla trekking but don't want to set up in the middle of the night.

What did I forget? Well, the food. You never had to worry about that, it was all superbly organized by the team and was really very, very good and varied!!

My expectations of the trip were more than 100% fulfilled and I say WEBALE.

Four Day Group Camping Safari
5/5

I had such a good experience with Suricata. Our rep Musa met us before and after for a briefing and debriefing. The jeep was comfortable and had a really good view from every seat. Our driver William made sure we got really good views. It is a camping package so expect basic tents, sleeping mats and bags but the campsites were all in beautiful locations. The food was really good with lots of variety each night at dinner. Our chef Salim was excellent and a really nice guy! Staff were attentive and always available to answer any questions. Amazing safari experience and great value for money!

Organized affordable yet still knowledgeable
5/5

I think it is best to split this review into two parts. The tldr however is that our safari with Kihindo was wonderful.

Pre-safari
The organisation all occurred last minute over WhatsApp with the wonderful Winnie who answered all of my questions and concerns (of which there were many) swiftly and clearly. The price was exactly as advertised with no additional taxes charged etc etc. We were picked up from our hotel by someone from the agency and dropped of exactly where we wanted to be by our guide at the end.

The safari
The safari it's self was spectacular, we went to Nyerere national park for 3 days and 2 nights and had a very knowledgeable guide named Isa. Our first day we arrived to a very nice lodge were greeted by the staff there offered a drink and asked when we would like to lunch (as they would ask for every meal) the accommodation was spacious and clean. The game drive went spectacularly as our guide knew the park and animals very well we saw so much, and although a lot of it is based on luck I believe having a good guide really increases your chances.

All in all we had a wonderful trip filled with incredible encounters and are planning to do another safari with Kihindo in 3 days largely due to how wonderful the last one was.

Unforgettable adventures with exceptional service and breathtaking wildlife encounters, big 5!
5/5

Our experience was exceptional. From the initial communication with Ushma to the execution of the tour, everything was seamless. Our guide, Anderson, ensured every detail was taken care of, his experience and expertise made the difference! The reliability and professionalism of the company made the entire experience stress-free and enjoyable. The tour itself was a highlight, offering unforgettable wildlife encounters (the Big Five!), scenes of big cats hunting and breathtaking landscapes. We highly recommend Serengeti Wakanda Tours and Safaris for an unforgettable adventure in Tanzania. Merci beaucoup!

5/5

Jambo! We did the 5-day Private Comfort Safari to Tarangire, Serengeti & Ngorongoro with Meru Slopes Tours & Safaris.

Prior to booking the trip with Meru, I compared the package they offered with 3 other companies and found this to be as good, and some cases better for what we were looking for in a safari.

There were less expensive packages with other companies, but I liked Meru's presentation that they sent us with their quote. It seemed professional and covered a lot of the questions that I would have otherwise had to ask with other companies.

The other thing that I felt was very important (before and after making the booking) was that Kelvin, their manager, was available via WhatsApp and was able to respond to my questions quickly and accurately. It gave me the feeling of knowing that he cared that I was going to be happy with our decisions.

He was at the airport in Arusha to personally greet us and introduce us to our driver for the tour. That was a nice touch. He also offered to meet again to say goodbye at the conclusion of our safari.

From start to finish we felt well taken care by our fantastic driver/guide (Julius) and he did his very best to make sure we saw everything there was to see each day. The accommodations were great. We stayed the first night at Acacia Farms, then on to Serengeti and Kubu Kubu tented Lodge for 2 nights, and then last but certainly not least was the Melia Ngorongoro. The breakfast and dinner meals were top notch at every location and the daily boxed lunches were decent as well. I have to say, the Melia Ngorongoro was outstanding (wow). The sun rises and sunsets from Melia and Kubu Kubu are a 'must see'.

A fun extra on this trip for me was re-learning Swahili with Julius, our driver during our game drives. I had worked in Mtwara, Tanzania for about 1 1/2 years back in 2007/2008 and did a shorter version of this same safari back then. I think he enjoyed me trying and failing and correcting and trying again, just as much as I did. We even had my girlfriend Angie speaking a little Swahili by the end of the safari. Julius is a great guy - ask for him.

In conclusion, other than not seeing the leopard this trip, I can't think of how anything could have been better. Angie felt the same way. Ok, maybe one thing - fix that road from Ngorongoro to the Serengeti. It's a rough ride!

I highly recommend Meru Slopes Tours & Safaris for this trip. It all goes by too quickly, but you'll be leaving Arusha with a big smile and some great memories! Hakuna Matata! Asante Sana!!
