Incredible Safari with Meru Slopes – Great Value and Experience!
We went on a safari with Meru Slopes in early July 2025 and had an amazing experience. From the beginning, communication with Jerome was easy and smooth—he was always helpful and quick to assist with planning our custom itinerary. Even when one lodge had to be changed, he immediately found a great alternative and kept us informed.
All transfers were well-organized and included in the price, which was the most competitive we found for this level of service and accommodation.
Our guide, Kunda, made the trip unforgettable. Friendly, knowledgeable, and always focused on making sure we saw as much wildlife as possible—he even fixed a minor mechanical issue himself before entering the park! He told great stories, spoke excellent English, and made us feel completely safe and entertained throughout the journey.
The vehicle was super comfortable, with Wi-Fi, drinks, water, and chargers. We especially loved staying in the tented camps—it added a real sense of adventure.
Serengeti and Ngorongoro were the highlights: breathtaking landscapes and tons of animals.
Highly recommended—great team, great organization, and unforgettable memories!

Accomdation : perfect tent , staff lovely , clean , safe
Food : flexible and adaptable, would be nice to have fresh vegetables but still lovely and tasty . Picnic sandwich could have been a little more interesting than tomato & cucumber .
Tour guide: khalifa was informative & knowledgeable , professional , funny , eyes like a hawk . He really wanted to provide the best possible experience for us despite long drives.
We saw elephants up close and really was a dream come true. Unfortunately we didn’t see the migration in full swing due to the weather but Khalifa really tried to provide his best .
Highly recommended
Axis were so helpful with providing what I was really looking for and a personal experience .

Our safari was simply magnificent and exceeded our expectations.
The tour ran very smoothly and was great value for money. The safari transport was comfortable and made viewing the animals and scenery very easy. Amazing how close we got to everything. Out guide, Champion, was extremely friendly and knowledgeable and ensured we were well taken care of. Accommodation was very comfortable and well catered. Can thoroughly recommend both Serengeti Smiles and our guide Champion for an unforgettable experience.

Reliable, excellent , informative
We booked a 6 day private safari extravaganza that we are very satisfied with. Minneh handled our booking and although there was an issue with payment we resolved it amicably. Jeff was our driver and guide and he took care of my family very well. Jeff was punctual and a safe driver. He knew the best spots in the park and we managed to see all the big 5. We were fortunate to be able to witness the lions feasting on their hunt. In Amboseli we were enchanted by Mount Kilimanjaro who revealed his majestic self to us. We were indeed very lucky as we were told that it was cloudy the past few days prior to our arrival. Thank you Kenya

Serengeti Smiles was responsible and handled our guide change professionally.
I just experienced the safari of a lifetime in Tanzania, all thanks to our extraordinary guide, Baranaba. His expertise, dedication, and infectious passion for wildlife transformed our trip into something truly magical.
Baranaba took our dream of spotting the Big 5 as a personal challenge—and delivered spectacularly! With 8 years of experience, his tracking skills were unmatched. He knew *exactly* where to go, used his radio and mobile to collaborate with other guides, and even predicted animal movements like a wildlife whisperer. Every sighting from a leopard chilling on a tree to a rare black rhino in the distance felt like a triumph thanks to him.
Baranaba’s driving skills were exceptional! Fast and swift, ensuring we never missed a moment while staying safe on rough terrain. Whether navigating dusty Serengeti tracks or positioning us for the perfect photo angle, his precision was impressive.
Beyond his expertise, Baranaba’s warm personality and humor made every drive a joy. He answered our endless questions, shared fascinating insights about animal behavior and Maasai culture, and went out of his way to create unforgettable moments like a surprise find of a pride of lions and a pair of cheetahs up close.
If you’re booking a safari, insist on Baranaba he’s the kind of guide who turns a great trip into a legendary adventure. We left Tanzania with hearts full of gratitude and cameras full of once-in-a-lifetime shots!

Alex, the best guide/driver and a wonderful experience
We had the most incredible experience with Leopard Orchid Safaris, and our driver and guide, Alex, truly made it unforgettable. From the very beginning, Alex was warm, attentive, funny and deeply knowledgeable. Over the course of six days, he taught us so much — not only about the wildlife, but also about Kenyan culture, history, and everyday life. He opened our eyes in ways we didn’t expect, and always went above and beyond to make sure we got the most out of every game drive, getting us as close as possible to the animals while keeping everyone safe and respectful of nature.
We have never encountered such kindness in our lives — Alex is truly a beautiful soul. His generosity, humility, and genuine care left a lasting impact on us. The goodbye was very emotional because we shared such a meaningful journey. We know we will never forget it — this will undoubtedly remain one of the most beautiful moments of our lives. We will always be grateful for everything he did.
The lodges selected by Leopard Orchid Safaris were also perfectly chosen — comfortable, welcoming, and well-located.
We recommend Leopard Orchid Safaris 100%, and Alex 200%. If you’re lucky enough to have him as your guide, you’re in for something truly special.

Wonderful Wildlife with great budget accomodation
We had a fantastic 6-day safari (Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Amboseli NP) with Lenchada Safari! Our driver and guide, Moses, was absolutely great – he had extensive knowledge about the local wildlife and plants, which made the experience even more enriching. He was also a very safe and responsible driver, and always make sure we had the best possible view of the animals. His dedication and enthusiasm really stood out!
The budget accommodations were just as described – simple but comfortable and well-organized with gründet staff. Most of the things were as expected.
We truly enjoyed the trip.

Incredible from start to finish
I traveled solo to East Africa this June and chose Dosasha Tours for a 10-day safari in Kenya and Tanzania after comparing several tour operators.
I couldn't have made a better choice!
From the moment I contacted them, Lilian was incredibly professional and responsible. She answered my many questions via wechat and continued to provide support after I arrived in Kenya. She personally came to pick me up at the airport and kept in touch throughout the trip, checking in every day to make sure everything was going smoothly. Any issue I raised - big or small - was handled with care and efficiency. I have said this to her a thousand times but again: thank you Lilian!
I had four guides throughout the trip - each of them kind and professional. But the second guide in Kenya, James, was simply outstanding. He was reliable, warm-hearted, always punctual, and made it his mission to help us spot all of the big five - which we did! On day 2, he raced us into the bushes to witness a predator on the hunt, which turned out to be the highlight of the day, and perhaps the entire trip. James also shared many fascinating facts about the parks, wildlife, people, and local culture. He truly made this experience a fun and deeply memorable one.
The itinerary was rich and well-paced. The accommodations were excellent, especially given the price of the tour. I stayed in comfortable, scenic tents and lodges - some even had animal visitors at night! As a solo traveler, I sometimes wished for a bit more security or reassurance, especially in more remote areas. Whenever I voiced a concern, Lilian responded immediately and adjusted the plans to offer even better options. I truly appreciated the efforts.
Watching Kilimanjaro at sunset and elephants crossing the savannah was surreal, but what truly made the experience were the people I met and the life stories I heard along the way. All of this would not have been possible without Dosasha Tours. I wholeheartedly recommend this company to anyone considering an east African adventure. Their professionalism, warmth, and attention to detail made all the difference. This is a team you can trust to deliver a magical safari - an experience of a lifetime.
