The Safari went without any issues and exceeded expectations. The guide was excellent and extremely informative about Kenya and all the animals we saw. Food and accommodations were great.

Best tour of my life!
The safari exceeded all expectations. First our guide Julius was always smiling and willing to comply with any request. He was knowledgeable about animals and had a keen sense on how to find them. We were two women traveling alone and always felt well protected. The food was delicious, no fast food. The accommodation were wonderful. Value for the money was excellent. Kevin from Merlu Slopes was fast to answer all correspondence. I tried with several companies and was very happy to have ended up with Merlu Slopes. It was a dream come true.

100% reliable
We took a transfer from Pretoria to Johannesburg Airport on the 8th of September. Our driver was punctual and he was very helpful with the loading our luggage. He was very funny and ever smiling and he knew the area quite well. He shared with me the history of Nelson Mandela which I was interested in. The trip was smooth and we made it to the airport in time for our connecting flight to Kruger. I will recommend MoAfrika to anyone who needs a good experience
a dream turned reality
Wow, where do I start…
My Dad and I began our tailor made dream safari journey by being picked up by the lovely Zohar reps at the airport and taken to a lovely spot to have refreshments (all pre made by the Zohar chefs and each meal was fantastic and fresh.)
This set the president for the rest of the trip, no stone unturned, every single thing was thought through from start to finish..water and snacks always available in the truck, meals to our preference and all of our requirements constantly met.
Our safari guide for the trip was a gentleman named Solomon (aka Solo the legend) and my oh my does he live up to the title. His knowledge and understanding of everyone animal, plant, tree, insect (literally any living thing) and every single landscape we came across was just incredible, there was no question he didn’t know the answer to and he made sure to always give us all relavent information to where we were.
As well as being an excellent highly skilled safari guide he is also a lovely, kind and caring soul; on the day of the migration it was my girlfriends birthday (who wasn’t on the safari) and I didn’t have wifi so whilst out in the bush he let me use his hotspot to send her a message which saved me a lot of stress! He also shared personal stories with us when we ate dinner together in the evenings which was lovely. I would definitely consider Solomon a friend now after this trip!
I honestly cannot wait to return and have another adventure with Zohar..the sooner the better!

JUST WOW
If you're thinking about a safari, it has to be with Jocky Tours and driver Jack! What an incredible experience. We saw the Big Five and even the Ugly Five. Jack took care of us every step of the way and answered all of our questions with great knowledge. The organization of the safari was flawless. I highly recommend it to everyone!

a real once in a lifetime experience which is deeply going int our hearts and never forgotten
At the end of August we went on a safari with Savannah explorer ltd. for 7 days / 8 nights as a small family (2 adults + 10 year old girl).
I found savannah explorer because it is always important to us to book with a company in the country we are traveling to so that our holiday budget goes to the people in the country and not to large office buildings and wages in Europe!
The organization by Micky in the office in Arusha was very quick and perfect, implemented and fulfilled all of our wishes, all at a very fair price-performance ratio! We also thought it was great that part of our money automatically went to certain local aid projects!
Micky also made it possible for us to get a German-speaking guide (our girl doesn't speak any foreign languages yet).
Daniel (our guide) picked us up at Kilimanjaro airport in the jeep, the next morning we set off: Arusha, Tarangire NP, lake Manyara NP, 3 days Serengeti including great migration, Ngorongoro NP, Arusha.
Daniel spoke great German and was a very pleasantly calm and patient personality, but there was never a lack of fun. As a driver (keyword “African massage”) and mechanic he was also first class. He showed us everything we wanted to see and answered all 10,000 questions we had. We also learned a lot of Swahili from him! We saw all the big 5 and ugly 5, all the animals that were on our list, the great migration on the 2nd attempt the next morning (because the wildebeest were too cowardly to go into the water the day before)
The lodge (Ngorongoro marera mountain view lodge 3 nights) and the tented camps (Serengeti Kifaru tented camps - 2 nights) and mara pure migration camp (1 night) belong to savannah explorer ltd and are a real highlight of the trip! The lodge is in the middle of nature (more like a jungle), in the tented camps you are amazed at what is possible so far away from civilization! Everything is super clean, perfectly furnished, always warm water, light and electricity in the tent, the dinner and breakfast as well as the packed lunch are very good quality and tasty! At night the grazing zebras and the playing, eating elephants, lions, hyenas and wildebeest right around the tent are very exciting and an amazing experience! But we always felt very safe and protected! The best thing about the lodges and camps are the people who work there, who are all so cheerful and passionate about their work that you feel as if you were being greeted as good old friends! At breakfast or farewell, the chef, waiter, etc. sing a little song. My girl was given a Simba Sportclub Trickot (a dream for her!) We have never experienced such hospitality anywhere in the world!!!
You can never get enough of the “street life” between the national parks, smiling people waving everywhere, colorful shops, fruit stands, overcrowded buses and other means of transport, Maasai, buildings in all shapes, colors and sizes, wonderfully diverse nature.
Finally, Daniel drove with us to a school near Mto wa Mbu where we distributed the school supplies we had brought with us. This experience touched all of our hearts and we all had tears of emotion in our eyes at the joy and enthusiasm of the children, teachers and parents!
All in all, this safari with Daniel and Savannah Explorer touched us very deeply and was incomparably great! A real “once in a lifetime” experience that we can highly recommend to everyone!
Thank you Daniel, thank you Micky and Savannah explorer, thank you team Marera mountain view Lodge and Kifaru Camp, thank you Tanzania for these great impressions! we come as clients, we leave as friends! we will never forget you!

Great time
We made one week safari through Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro crater and it was an unforgettable experience. There was not even a small thing to complain on this trip. Organization, accommodation and food were excellent. We were also very happy with our Guide. His name is Everest.
All in all,- I can strongly recommend this company

Amazing Namibia trip through untouched landscapes with plenty of animal encounters
Namibia exceeded all expectations on our last trip. We were surprised by the many animal encounters and the incredibly vast landscapes.
We had the privilege of experiencing a 14 day trip tailored to our wishes and needs. The accommodation was very comfortable, integrated into the landscape, ecologically managed and with excellent service. The philosophy of Natural Selection as well as Gondswana convinced us. Detailed directions enabled us to drive to the accommodation ourselves. We were always warmly welcomed.
We were pleased to see that the local population can benefit from tourism while preserving nature and culture.
We always had very competent and friendly guides on our safari trips, tailoring the experience based on your interests. From elephants and lions to zebras and giraffes, we saw them all! Even the very shy black rhino. Unfortunately also the result of rhino poaching. The short distance encounter of a group of seven lions with a young one was breathtaking. But: Experience has shown that the wild is free and may not be where we are looking for it.
Some other highlights of our trip: Balloon ride with Namib Sky early in the morning, with incredibly rich breakfast in the desert after landing. Sleeping under a brilliantly clear starry sky. Rock arts, showing the past hunter-gatherer life. Hiking on the dunes of NamibRand Nature Reserve. Kayak tour to seals in the Walwis Bay. Exploring wild life in Etosha East.
We had an authentic African safari experience, a combination of stunning wildlife, incredible scenery and exceptional hospitality.

10/10 recommendation
Our safari was absolutely fantastic! Baraka, our guide, was incredible and highly professional. His extensive knowledge of the flora and fauna was impressive, and he answered all of our questions with ease. Thanks to his expert driving, we managed to see the Big 5. This was truly an unforgettable experience. Highly recommend!
