Great safari experience!
We had a very nice safari trip with sacred wilderness. We did the 7day trip. The shedule changed depending on other travelers, so you will meet a lot of new people. Our group stayed the same for the serengeti and the ngorongoro crater. Sometime it wasn't very clear for us were we would stay or what the shedule was, but there was always someone to pick us up and to drop us of at the right location. The safari itself was great. We saw the great migration and our guide was amazing! Great value for the money! We met Lulu at our last evening and asked us for some feedback so she could keep improving the organization. It was possible to pay by Wise.

Choose Meru Slopes Tour and relax, everything will be taken care of!
Meru Slopes Tours exceeded our expectations, I can recommend this company with a calm heart!
I guess, like everybody else, we were slightly sceptic and worried, but from the very beginning until the very end we felt in good hands. The communication with Almachius was excellent - he is very responsive, quick to react, adapt and adjust the program according to our individual needs. Not to forget his extreme patience answering all our questions and positivity! 😊 Amazing service! 🙌
Our greeting in the airport in the middle of the night was very smooth, we were safely accompanied to the hotel door and overall every second it felt structured and well organized throughout the whole trip. They have a lot of experience!
Lobulu was the best driver for our private tour with so many individual requests, we managed to spot even rear animals - he was very proffesional, attentive and with an excellent mood! Hakuna matata! 😁
Sleeping arrangements in budget camping were very well organized, sleeping bags clean and matresses were surprisingly comfy! Be prepared for colder night in Simba camping (near Ngorongoro), it's in the higher altitude, bring warm clothes. Don't expect hot shower in the budget camping option and you'll be fine! ☺️
Our chef is worth separate mention - the food during the Safari was better than in two different restaurants that we've tried in Arusha! It's simple, freshly made, tasty, creative! No stomach problems, only happy bellies 😊
Only best experience and memories with Meru Slopes Tours! Good luck, guys! 😊

Perfect organization + Safari
Everything was perfect from the start!
Isaya was in constant contact with me, first by email, then by WhatsApp. We were picked up from the hotel and had lunch on the way. We arrived in Mikumi, where our competent and friendly 2 safari guides were already waiting. We set off straight away and we were extremely lucky in just half a day. We were able to see a leopard, lion, elephant, buffalo, giraffe, zebra.
Special praise again to Isaya, he does a perfect job, is very communicative and interested. He also told us a lot about Tanzania and his own life path. Unfortunately our flight to Zanzibar was cancelled, we then had to make the ferry, here too he helped us get the tickets, for which we were really grateful, as it is just a huge chaos here and you have to look after your things very carefully. Super organised

5D ascension Mont Meru + 9 D Safari
Joël organized a "custom-made" trek and safari for our group.
The preparation was done by telephone and WhatsApp exchange in French with Joël.
The ascent of Mount Meru was done over 5 days in order to make the descent easier.
The safari lasted 9 days spread over 5 different parks from Manyara to Lake Natron with the "Big Fives" there!
Our local guides speak very good French and are very friendly which made our stay very pleasant. Special thanks to Godslove, Léonard and Shabani.

Absolute unforgettable Safari-experience
If you want to have an unforgettable, once in a lifetime safari-experience of Kenia, go to Meektrails. We had a 4-day trip for our honeymoon from Nairobi to Lake Naivasha, Lake Nakuru and Masai Mara. The organization and communication worked perfect, we got picked up at our hotel and started the trip well prepared. Thanks to Paul for the great communication and organization upfront!
Thanks to our guide Josef, we found the perfect spots to see nearly every animal the kenyan wildlife will offer you. Hippo, Giraffe, Elephant, Pumba Lion, Cheeta…… Josef always found the best places to spot great animals and take some great shots. Also really interesting information about the history of kenya, the nowadays living and especially eating and specific information to plants and birds were provided by Josef.
Coming to the camps we were really flashed. Absolutely stunning tents in the wildness surrounded by great nature and also animals. We could see hippos or elephants directly from the dinner-table! Beneath great breakfast and dinner, Josef always found the best spots for lunch, sometimes directly in the wild under a shady tree.
100% 5-star rating from our side. Come to meektrails and have an unforgettable safari-experience!

Top Safari Operator Definitely !!!
Me and my friend had a perfect 6 days' safari with Safari Tours!
Wrote emails to over 30 5-stars safari operators, Safari Soles won us in the final round owning to timely communication, price, well-organized schedule ! Before the journey, I did homework my own and had a rough idea of Tanzania Parks, the plan made by Oken perfectly matched with my expectation! And he was the first one replied my request email among all operators I asked even in the weekend. Although one of the accommodation was changed due to fully booked, Oken communicated with me timely and added me in WeChat app taking care of Chinese customers. The only thing could be improved is, I requested and paid 40% deposit 2 months ahead, but the flight ticket and accommodation booking letters didn't sent to me till a week before we start the journey. I don't know whether it's reservation team got slack at their work or caused by accommodation staffs, anyway, if the booking status could be communicated weekly, that would make me feel they are trying best to help book rooms. Beside this, Oken was really friendly and gave me a very warm welcome before the trip!
Beside wonderful views, our guide Alex was part of this lifetime experience! Alex was not only a professional guide, skilled driver, animal expert, human binocular, safari guard, private photographer, but also our friend! During the afternoon in Ngrongoro, we saw Big 5 in the same day! The moment he heard there's a leopard near, he drove us there ASAP, just after 5 minutes, leopard ran away! Thanks to Alex! Then we spent 2 days in Serengeti, saw 2 lions eating a buffalo, Alex taught us how Lions hunt and how to start from the tail of animals, we enjoyed a live BBC broadcast with a running commentary! The last day in Serengeti, though wildebeests failed to cross mara river due to one was caught by crocodile, Alex explained the wildebeest group immigration behaviors and how they live together with zebras, that's super interesting!
In conclusion, we really appreciate everything safari soles arranged for us, especially Oken and Alex, we can't have such a perfect experience without you two! I'll definitely recommend safari soles to all my friends who plan to go Tanzania!!
An efficient and reliable company
I had the most wonderful time!
I stayed in some lovely lodges where the food served was plentiful and with choices to suit everyone.
I experienced so much more than I thought I would - obviously seeing the gorillas and the chimpanzees in the wild was amazing!
My driver/guide Colly, was a careful and considerate driver who was knowledgeable about his beautiful country and the animals. He looked after me very well, as a lone, older female! We chatted about all manner of things and had a good few laughs too! it was the ease of communication and booking that made me feel confident to go with Kajie Safaris and I definitely feel that I had great service for what I paid.
So thank you Ronald and Colly for an unforgettable experience.

Absolutely amazing experience. Unforgettable memories.
We did a 5 day safari with our guide Elias and our cook Salim. It was an amazing experience and very well organized.
We went to Tarangire, Lake Maniala, the Serengeti, and the Ngoro Crater. We stayed in tents two nights near Lake Maniala, one night in the Serengeti (with a wonderful view and hyenas roaming around), and one night on the edge of the Crater (even better views and Zebras grazing next to the tents). All camps had shower opportunities and all except Serengeti had warm water.
Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and very good at spotting and finding animals. That's why we saw leopards and lions up really close! Also a lot of zebras, gnus, warthogs, baboons, monkeys, elephants, giraffs and so on.
We were also well fed with breakfast and dinner at the camp site and lunch at a official Picknick Spot in the parks. The food was very tasty and had a lot of variety. Salim is an excellent chef.
The whole journey was perfectly planned start to finished. We were picked up from the airport and at the end brought back, so we could continue our journey.
