Review about Tarangire National Park by Julie and Stuart B
Beautiful scenery. Abundance of elephants and our first encounter with lions and cheetah so very special.
Would highly recommend, especially if you have limited time in the area.

Breathtaking
Massai Mara, Lake Navashi and Lake Nakuru were great. Hells Gate was less impressive and somehow ommissible.

Kubwa Five Safaris gave us an amazing, worry-free safari experience we’ll remember forever.
We had an incredible experience with Kubwa Five Safaris from start to finish. Our multi-country itinerary through Kenya and Uganda was complex, yet everything ran smoothly thanks to their excellent planning, attention to detail, and responsive communication throughout the trip.
The accommodations were eco-friendly but comfortable, the food consistently delicious, and our guides knowledgeable and personable. We especially appreciated how easily we could reach the Kubwa Five team on WhatsApp and their quick responses made the entire experience feel safe and well-supported.
There were a few small bumps along the way, as can happen on a long safari, but nothing that took away from the overall experience. The only real suggestion we’d make to future travelers would be to skip the Maasai “cultural event” stop, which felt more like a tourist cash grab than an authentic experience. In contrast, the Ugandan cultural visits, were absolutely wonderful, heartfelt, and meaningful.
Overall, Kubwa Five Safaris offered fantastic value, excellent organization, and warm personal service. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone planning a safari in East Africa.

Absolutely amazing — professional, thoughtful, and made our safari an unforgettable experience!
Going on a safari with Meru Slopes was truly one of the best decisions we made. While planning our trip, Almachius from Meru Slopes was incredibly helpful — he immediately understood what we wanted and handled everything with such care and attention to detail.
We were on our honeymoon, and Almachius surprised us with the sweetest honeymoon celebration! It was such a thoughtful touch. Even at the lodges, the staff knew we were honeymooners and made sure we were treated with extra care. Every place we stayed was wonderful.
Our guide, Bariki, made the whole experience unforgettable. During our 4-day safari, we witnessed the breathtaking beauty of Serengeti and Ngorongoro, and those days went by way too fast thanks to him. He’s truly one of the best guides out there, and we felt so lucky to have met him through Meru Slopes.
Through Bariki, we got to see, learn, and feel the wild in such a special way — understanding how animals move, behave, and survive in their natural world. He’s not just a great guide but also a genuinely warm, inspiring person who taught us so much beyond the safari itself.
This trip was an experience of a lifetime — one we’ll always treasure. We realized that the most beautiful journeys become even more special because of the amazing people you meet along the way.
I highly recommend Meru Slopes. Thank you all for making our honeymoon truly unforgettable!

Great adventure!!
Communications were very easy and Olly replied fast to all my emails/contacts.
They make sure to do the perfect itinerary that fits your ideas!! We were a family from 9-80years old so they tried to do their best to fit our needs.
The rides are long and hard for older ones so I’d advise to maybe stick with fewer parks if that’s your case.
They cook us most of the time international food!!
All the team was amazing ! Our guide Liberty, was AMAZING!! He had a true knowledge about all animals, and would always find the animals before anyone else :))
The camping is comfortable, although keep in mind it’s a campsite!
Overall amazing experience, would definitely repeat again with the same company!!!

Wonderful Experience traveling thru Kenya & Tanzania with Kitawa
We enjoyed our safari with Kitawa.
Our guides were wonderful, especially Gordan Opany & Said Licky.
Both spoke excellant English, took our party of 6 under their wings to make us feel welcome and comfortable. We felt very safe. Our accommodations were outstanding
For the most part. We especially enjoyed Lake Navaisha Lodge, Speke Bay Lodge, even Eka Hotel to begin and end our safari journey. We definately would recomend Kitawa Safari Company to our neighbors & friends. We saw every animal imaginable (Including the Big 5)! Our guides were informative about the animals, history of Africa, crossing the boarder, in general all qluestions were answered. Nixon (The big boss) was easy to communicate with as we had lots of questions before our trip! Thank you for making our adventure dream come true.
