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.

GREAT HOSPITALITY
Our safari experience was truly unforgettable, thanks to the professionalism and warmth of our driver WISDOM. From the moment we were picked up, we felt welcomed and at ease. Wisdom was punctual, courteous and ensuring that every detail of our journey was smooth, safe and enjoyable. His friendly personality made us feel comfortable and well cared for throughout the tour.
At Kruger National Park, while waiting for the entry permit, he even created a simple ice-breaking session among the guests in the jeep, which instantly set a friendly and cheerful atmosphere for the entire trip.
Next, Wisdom extensive knowledge of the routes, local wildlife and cultural insights added so much value to the safari, making the trip not just a drive but an enriching adventure.
Because of wisdom expertise and sharp eye, we managed to spot 4 out of the Big Five, (no leapord seen) an experience we will cherish forever!
To round off the experience, we also enjoyed visiting the souvenir shops, which had an impressive variety of African-inspired and creative items, giving us the chance to take home unique reminders of the safari

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.
