A genuine host who really does everything for your experience
We booked the combination of the 4 day Mt. Meru climb and Safari. In here I will only review the safari as the combined package is not an option to choose to review.
For our tour guide we had Nuru who is a true walking encyclopaedia. He knows soooo much about animals and the environment. He can also tell you a lot about the Masai tribe. During our game drives he really took the time to answer all our questions and tell us stories of the animals and surroundings. His favorite slogan is ‘Hakuna matata’ he’s a very relaxed guy and a real professional. Also a very sharp eye. He can spot an animal from kilometers far away.
The jeep safari cars have wifi on board and you can charge your devices to never be out of power to photograph the animals.
The game drives are good but quite long and the road is bumpy (car sickness) so please reconsider this also when booking the safari
It was a great experience but in my personal opinion I would recommend doing the Serengeti 2 days (especially the basic camp sites) en 1 day Ngorongoro as I find the time that you’re in the vehicle very long. And after seeing Serengeti and Ngorongoro I think Tarangire does not really bring that extra’s
When it came to the food. The cook Elija (Bonge) always prepared fresh food for us. The food was always good but sometimes we wished a little more variation. That’s also because the meals were roughly the same during the hike!
Finally, please don’t underestimate or forget about tips. Altough it’s not the biggest amount it can really count up after several days

Absolute ripper!!
Moses made the tour. Not afraid to get in the right spot/location to not only see, but get the best photos with lighting as he considered it all. He also knew a lot of the rangers and other guides, so was constantly getting tips on where more animals were.

The Safari trip was planned and executed flawlessly. The communication with the tour planner and operator was excellent and were very responsive to any questions or needs that arose, both before and during the trip. The tours were outstanding, the accomodations were amazing, and the local guides were wonderful.

Best Mount Meru tour with Meru slopes!
We did the 4 day Mount Meru climb and afterwards we did the 4 day safari but here i will only witte about the Mount Meru. We make another review about the safari. Our experience about the mountain climb is very good. The day of arrival we got a really professional briefing from our operator and the guide. They checked our stuff and told us everything about what to expect. We underestimated the trip a bit but luckily we had the best guide (Hussein!) and the best porters. Hussein gave us a lot of info. Ofcourse about the mountain, the nature and everything but also about the culture, the tribes, the daily life of the people in Tanzania. Because of the circumstances we decided in colaboration to do the hike in 3 days instead of 4. For us it was sometimes hard and we did not feel well all the time but because of Hussein and the other staff we could make it to the summit. We were very happy with the result and the team of Meru slopes really gave us the best experience! Without them we would not have made it. One last note; be aware of the amount of tips that you are supposed to give. Although we really liked the experience and we understand the tips is really important and welcome for the staff it’s quite an amount of money that you will pay when you already payed for the trip.

Unforgettable African experience!
We planned our 8-day tour by email exchanges with Silence several months before our trip. Silence was very kind and responsive, promptly answering our questions and addressing our concerns.
Upon arrival in Victoria Falls, everything was perfect! The falls were amazing, and we enjoyed all the activites there. We then moved to Kasane, where the safari game drives were fantastic, and the Chobe River cruise exceeded our expectations, providing us with unforgettable moments.
Our stop at Elephant Sands was a tranquil oasis, allowing us to recharge before venturing into the Okavango Delta. The Delta was the highlight of our trip, surpassing our expectations and evoking strong emotions. We loved to be immerse in the wilderness, camping with only the essentials, and experiencing the raw beauty of nature.
Francis, our guide, was discreet, professional, and friendly, making him the perfect companion. We enjoyed talking about Africa, Botswana, Zimbabwe, and wildlife with him, and really appreciated the opportunity to share dinner together. Dear Francis, we hope to share other adventures with you in the future :)
In the Okavango, SP and his team from the local community were attentive and kind, showing us the incredible beauty of the region.
We already miss Africa. Thank you for making our journey unforgettable.

Lorand was extremely kind, intelligent, excellent driver, and the best guide we could have asked for
My wife and I did a 4 day package that included going to see the golden monkeys and the gorillas and it was truly amazing! Dixon was the best at helping us set up all of our accommodations and activities. We were lucky enough to get Lorand as our guide for the 4 days and he was the absolute best. He was so kind and went to every length to make sure that we felt safe and comfortable every step of the way. He was very intelligent and answered every question that we had about our activities and Uganda in general. The gorilla and golden monkeys experiences were amazing! It’s something that you just have to experience and can’t really describe. I highly recommend this company and tour guide. Thanks so much for the memories!

The Kurger Safari Co. delivers exceptional, personalized, and unforgettable safari adventures.
My recent, rather spontaneous, short trip with The Kurger Safari Co. was an absolutely exceptional experience, exceeding all my expectations. From the very first contact, the team went above and beyond to make my adventure possible, seamlessly organizing transportation tailored precisely to my needs.
The entire operation ran with outstanding efficiency. Punctuality was a hallmark of the safari drivers, ensuring that every moment was maximized for wildlife viewing. And what an experience that was! The sheer number and variety of wild animals I encountered in such a limited timeframe was simply breathtaking – a testament to the expertise of the guides and the richness of the Kruger ecosystem.
Even the journey back to Johannesburg International Airport became a highlight. My driver, a truly engaging and enjoyable character, opted for a slightly longer but infinitely more scenic route. This unexpected detour added another layer of beauty to my trip. As the sole passenger, we shared long and fascinating conversations, making the five-hour drive feel significantly shorter.
For anyone seeking a truly remarkable and meticulously organized safari experience, I wholeheartedly recommend The Kurger Safari Co. Their dedication to customer satisfaction and their ability to deliver an unforgettable wildlife adventure are second to none.

Incredible experience
Amazing experience with Surictata company
On my arrival, they arranged the transfer to the hotel from the JRO airport. And the accommodation was great, the staff there were lovely.
On the day of my arrival Daniel guided me through the streets of Arusha.
On the next day, the safari started. I’m grateful for the people I met in our group.
Special thanks to Damian, our guide, and James, our cook. We were lucky to see all the big five amongst other beautiful birds and mammals (elan, antelopes, giraffes, wildebeest, zebras etc.). The food as well was incredible and tasty and the tents were comfortable. Great experience also at the Masai village.
It was an incredible and amazing experience to not miss while in Tanzania.
Thanks also to Felix, our guide to Tarangire.
The staff is amazing and they’ll do their best to ensure you have a great time.
Asante sana!

Anderson was very symphatic and has a lot of knowledge. Also a great driver!
It was an awesome experience doing my 12 day Safari with Buyaga. My guide (Anderson) is a very symphatic guide, he has a lot of knowledge about the wildlife and the vegetation. I learned a lot from him. The lodges were also very nice and I had a super overall experience!
