The service was fantastic, starting from the booking process & ending with the great safari tour
Leopard Orchid Safaris exceeded our expectations — they did a great job! This started with the perfect booking process and the operators' great, really fast support. The tour itself was fantastic. Our guide, Lawrence, was always looking for the best spots to show us as many animals as possible. He was very helpful and answered all our questions with his great knowledge. Thanks to him, we were able to spot almost all of the Big Five of the Masai Mara. The accommodation met our expectations, and the food was delicious at all times. We would definitely recommend the tour to anyone who wants to see wild animals up close in a respectful way. We definitely got our money's worth, as we even had a private tour with our own guide and jeep.

Meru Slopes cares about their clients. 5 Stars
From the moment we first inquired about a safari with Meru Slopes, our representative Almachius was on the ball. I was apprehensive when first making contact as I received an immediate response (i was hoping this was not a bot) but he quickly earned our families trust with his timely response to our questions and his flexibility in arranging a personalized tour based on our requirements. Our experience with Meru Slopes could not have been better. The accommodation that they arranged for us during our safari exceeded expectations and we had the most wonderful and knowledgable guides throughout our trip (shout out to Juma, Kennedy and Nickson). The service and check in's we received from Almachius during our trip made us feel really well taken care of. We will definitely be returning and would not hesitate to book through Meru Slopes again. Thank you for making our safari the most wonderful experience.

Very detailed Nafika tour
Nafika Tours quickly modified our safari itinerary to meet our needs.
The accommodations we booked were of excellent quality and comfortable, and the included meals were excellent.
Our guides were courteous and friendly, and they consistently helped us have a positive experience.
We look forward to working with Nafika Tours again on our next trip to the Serengeti.
Thank you for your help.

Excellent and helpful
Hi, my name is Stephen and a few days ago I undertook both a safari and a Kilimanjaro climb with Moraka Safari. Moraka arrange everything for me, including accommodation in Arusha and Moshi before between and after each part of the trip, and drivers foreach part, including pick up and drop off at the airport.
The safari was a five-day series of trips into the Serengeti and other national parks, including Ngorongoro crater, Lake Manyara and involved both Lodges and camping overnight. We even visited a Maasai village! A varied group of different people were teamed together for each part, lead by a specific guide for each national park. We were safely but closely shown almost all imaginable animals (Giraffe, Lions, Cheetahs, Elephants, Zebra, Wildebeast, Monkeys, Baboons, Hippos , birds of many types etc) in their natural setting, including around the campsites. There were no lions at the campsite... or were there! There were definitely some rustling of tents, and buffalo were seen by one of the team in night.
Overall, the safari was excellent, well organised and expertly run by experienced guides. I have no hesitation in recommending Moraka Safari and this tour.
But wait, there’s more.
Moraka Safari also organised the climb for me in a small group, each client with a guide and a team including a few porters and a cook. My guide was Emannuel, who forged a lasting friendship with me in his attempt to keep me moving on this gruelling 5 day climb on the Marangu route. Alas, I wasn’t fit enough to finish, only reaching the Horombo hut – only 2000m elevation gain in 2 days!
I will be back for another try after some targeted fitness training (this time I know what I’m up against) over the next 12 months and I will certainly be asking Moraka Safaris to arrange it for me!

An Unforgettable, Awe-inspiring, “Amazing” 5 day Masai Mara + Amboseli Safari
Our 5 day Amboseli + Masai Mara safari with Amazing Memories Safari was nothing short of what its company name suggests. We organized our trip with agent Brian, who was thorough, honest and timely in all his responses. He was very patient with us throughout planning, taking account of our timeline and preferences. The tone was set for an incredible experience before even arriving in Kenya. We felt very comfortable greeting Brian and his team at our hotel in Nairobi on Day 1, and we were even gifted a souvenir before we started the safari.
We were paired with our driver Joseph for the first part of our journey from Nairobi to Amboseli. Joseph was phenomenal - an excellent driver and knowledgeable guide. There were several instances where he positioned our jeep at just the right angle so that we could have the best views of wildlife. He was patient when we wanted to stay at certain locations. He always listened to the radio to make sure we were able to get to the best viewings.
Amboseli itself was a treasure - witnessing large elephant herds traverse the landscape was awe-inspiring. Lodging at Sentrim Amboseli Lodge was amazing. All meals were prepared well. Our final experiences in the park was at the airstrip, where we embarked on a 1 hour morning flight to the Mara. The flight was equally impressive - flying over seemingly endless Kenyan savannah and landscape was beautiful.
The second leg of our journey was in the Masai Mara with our driver Robert, who was just as amazing as Joseph. We were able to see multiple lions, cheetahs, and leopards, amongst all the other beautiful animals in the Mara. Robert was extremely diligent on the radio and phone to ensure we had the best opportunities to see wildlife.
Our trip was capped off in the final hours by witnessing hundreds, possibly thousands, of wildebeests cross Sand River from Kenya to Tazania as they continued their migratory cycle. As we had come to expect from Amazing Memories Safari, our jeep was positioned in just the right location to see the fabled river crossing. Driving back to our lodging Sentrim Mara Lodge, which was just as great as our lodging in Amboseli, Robert surprised us with an impromptu sundowner.
All in all, we could go on at great lengths about the praise and positive feedback we can give this experience and Amazing Memories Safari as a company. We simply could not imagine a more authentic and genuine safari experience from beginning to end, especially at this price point. We’ve attached a few pictures from our trip, but know they are simply that - Highlights. The memories we’ve made soaking in Kenya’s greatest gems in the Masai Mara and Amboseli simply cannot be expressed in a few paragraph review. You need to live it yourself - and we could not envision a more ideal experience than we had with Amazing Memories Safari, agent Brian, driver Joseph and driver Robert.

An unforgettable private safari in Tanzania
We spent four fantastic days in Tanzania thanks to Joagro Safari, our guide Peter, and every moment of the private safari was unforgettable! His deep knowledge of the wildlife and the parks, combined with his great attention to our needs, made the experience safe, comfortable, and enjoyable.
Peter is always available and attentive to every detail, from the routes through the parks to choosing the best spots to photograph the wildlife. We felt completely at ease and well taken care of throughout the entire trip. His professionalism, passion, and friendliness make the experience truly unique.

Amazing Safari! 100% Fantastic
We booked a 6-day safari to Tarangire, Ngorongoro Crater, and Serengeti in Northern Tanzania, and it was an incredible experience. Amos, the director of Migration Venture Africa, gave us the freedom to customize the tour according to our needs and budget. We spent one night at the Better Inn in Moshi, Ngorongoro Inn in Karatu, and Serengeti Wildebeest Camp in Serengeti, all of which were amazing accommodations. They were clean, provided excellent meals, and had comfortable rooms that we enjoyed sleeping in. The safari took us through forests, savanna grasslands, and bush, including rivers, lakes, and marshes, but it was the wildlife that made it all so fascinating. We had an amazing guide, Temba, who was the reason we had so much fun on this trip. He turned it into an incredible adventure, knowing all the routes and places that were likely to be teeming with wildlife, plus he had excellent eyesight. He was the one who spotted the animals most of the time. We are in total awe of our guide and the experience was simply amazing.

Outstanding Safari Experience
We had an unforgettable 4-day safari visiting Tarangire, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro. From the very beginning, the office was extremely responsive and attentive, making the organization smooth and stress-free. Our guide, Ombeni, was truly outstanding – very knowledgeable, professional, and always available to fully satisfy our wishes throughout the trip. Thanks to his experience and dedication, we were able to enjoy every moment and make the most of this incredible adventure. We highly recommend this safari operator for anyone looking for a well-organized and memorable experience in Tanzania!
