Nuru brought our Safari to Life!
We booked a week-long private safari through Meru Slopes Tours & Safaris, and I was beyond impressed from start to finish. After comparing several companies on Safaribookings, Meru Slopes offered by far the best value for the mid-level to luxury range we were looking for. The accommodations were excellent throughout the trip, providing a great balance of comfort, quality. One night we were the only guest at a luxury lodge in the Serengeti and we had a special bush dinner to ourselves! Our itinerary was thoughtfully designed, beginning with a fly-in to the Serengeti and making our way south through Ngorongoro and Tarangire before returning to Arusha, which made the trip flow naturally and minimized long travel days.
A huge thank you goes to our safari guide, Nuru. His knowledge of the wildlife and local culture was impressive, and he always took the time to answer our endless questions. He did incredibly fun things like the Serengeti Sunset, chasing the Great Migration, and getting us the best sightings. Beyond his expertise, Nuru was incredibly friendly, patient, and genuinely fun to spend time with during long game drives! His enthusiasm was evident every day. By the end of the week, he felt more like a friend than a guide, and we will truly miss him.
We would also like to thank my Dear friend Leonard for all of his help during the planning process. From our initial inquiries to the final details of the trip, he was responsive, professional, and always willing to assist with questions, changes, and special requests. Leonard made everything straightforward and stress-free. To Leonard, Nuru, and the entire Meru Slopes team: we had an unforgettable safari experience and would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone visiting Tanzania. Asante!

The Most Amazing 2 Days!
We had the most amazing 2 day and 1 night safari with Black Santa. We are a group of 5 girls travelling to Kenya for the first time and Herbert gave us the best experience we could have ever asked for. We felt so comfortable in his company and every detail was covered including drinking water in the van. Herbert picked us up right outside our first hotel and dropped us at our next hotel in another location when the safari was finished which made the whole process so much easier. For only a 2 day safari we saw so much, and were lucky enough to see some of the harder to find animals. The communication with Herbert was excellent throughout the entire planning process and the value for money is excellent. He is so knowledgeable and happy to answer any questions we had. We will never forget this experience and would absolutely recommend using Black Santa safari tours to anyone! Thanks so much again!
An Unforgettable Safari Experience with an Outstanding Team
Our safari guide, James Mwaura was truly exceptional and played a huge role in making our experience unforgettable. From the very beginning, he was supportive, approachable, and always willing to go the extra mile to ensure we had the best possible experience.
His knowledge of the wildlife, environment, and local culture was outstanding, and he was always happy to answer questions and share interesting insights. What stood out most was his understanding and patient nature. He took the time to listen to our preferences, adapted the itinerary where possible, and always made us feel valued and cared for.
Whenever we asked for advice—whether about wildlife spotting, photography, local customs, or travel plans—his recommendations were thoughtful, honest, and incredibly helpful. We always felt that he had our best interests at heart and was genuinely committed to making our safari special.
Professional, kind, reliable, and passionate about what he does, he exceeded all our expectations. We would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a memorable safari experience and would not hesitate to travel with him again.
I would like to thank Chanson, who was simply amazing. He patiently worked with us to adapt and customise our itinerary based on our requests, ensuring the trip perfectly matched what we were looking for. No request was too much trouble, and his flexibility, professionalism, and dedication made the whole process stress-free.

Professional, flexible and affordable
I'm extremely happy with the service provided by Marco and Desiree from Southbound Tours all long during planning as well as travelling phase.
Itinerary itself was tailored made for our preferences in terms of destinations, the scheduling as well as attractions. Even though it was intense in terms of coverage versus time available, there was still room to have some rest to recharge batteries. We have been provided with useful recommendations as for accommodation and restaurants. Car was very reliable and comfortable for the long drives, no single issue on a way and also equipped with 2 spare wheels and fuel supply.
Marco and Desiree were very responsive during the stay and also supportive in terms of arrangements.
With a pleasure I recommend Southband Tours when planning traveling through Namibia. Thank you!

Experience of a lifetime, you will not be disappointed!!
This was our first safari and Wild Serenity Safari’s made it so easy from start to end, enabling us to have the experience of a lifetime.
There are so many companies and tours to choose from we were struggling to find the ONE that would really work for us. We came across SafariBookings and a 3 day mid-range budget tour from Arusha, covering the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater.
Wild Serenity safari’s were really quick to send us a proposal, which was a really high quality itinerary that covered the whole 3 days, with each days itinerary broken down, including accommodation details and photo’s (and even alternatives to consider), tour route, meal plans, and what we could expect to see throughout each day. It laid out very clearly what was included in the costs, which was pretty much everything but tips (and it even gave us some information on the ranges expected and when to tip) so nothing was left to chance, and there would be no surprises. It was also really good value compared to all the other tours we’d seen, really getting that mid-range package that we wanted just right for us. We were really impressed with the detail and quality of the proposal, and the value for money and it gave us real confidence in what we would be getting.
But that was just the start. We also received a WhatsApp from Derrick at Wild Serenity Safari’s to confirm the proposal, and create a message thread to ensure communication was direct and smooth, and to answer any questions. We had some questions and also a bit of back and forth on dates, all of which Derrick answered immediately and with super flexibility. As we were close to finalising everything we needed to speak with Derrick and although it was late local time, he got straight back to us. Having this level of personal contact was super helpful and quickly established the trust we needed to choose the right tour and operator. At this point we knew Wild Serenity Safari’s would be a great choice.
So, we paid a deposit of 10% via a payment link, which was really easy, safe and secure and received a payment receipt (more re-assurance for us) and there were a few additional questions that Derrick answered via WhatsApp for us as the tour got closer. We were collected from Arusha airport exactly as planned, and Derrick also came to our hotel to give us a briefing the night before the tour started, which was really exceptional.
The tour itself was amazing, we wanted to experience the iconic Serengeti as well as the incredible Ngorongoro crater and the 3 days / 2 nights itinerary was perfect for us. Wild Serenity Safari’s choose their guides carefully and ours - Deus - was super friendly and very experienced. We knew the first day would be driving from Arusha to the Serengeti so we expected it would be more driving than seeing animals, but even on the way Deus took time to stop and see so many animals and also taking some diversions to see more, it felt like a full on game drive. The actual game drives of day 2 and 3 were also amazing, we saw everything. Deus knew where to go, using all his experience to find the animals and take the time for us to spend observing them, photographing them and getting up close and personal, with full respect for the animals and their welfare. We even saw 3 leopards, which is very rare, we felt very lucky indeed.
So, whether it’s your first safari or you’ve done many, we would highly recommend Wild Serenity Safari’s as your tour operator. They are a young company and it’s a very competitive market with so many tour operators to choose from. Because they’re a young company they don’t yet have thousands of reviews, but don’t let that concern you, the quality of the reviews and their actual service and the level and personalisation of their experience is what’s most important.
Let them give you a proposal and you’ll see and feel that for yourself, they will help ensure you also get an experience of a lifetime!!!!!

The best tours to Mount Meru and Safari
We loved the two tours we did with King Mufasa. First we hiked Mount Meru. The guide Akle was amazing. He kept the energy high and was positive, knew a lot and took really good care of us. Also the other part of the crew was amazing. Everyone was so sweet and all was well arranged. Mount Meru itself was wonderful and would 100% recommend it! After that we did a three day safari to different parks. We stayed in beautiful lodges and also the guide Joel was very professional and knew a lot about the parks and the animals.
The communication with king mufasa especially with Davis was so good. From the start until the end everything was communicated so clearly.

Reliable operator with great staff
We did a private 8-day tour including following national parks: Kibale (chimps), Queen Elizabeth, Bwindi Impenetrable (gorillas) and Lake Mburo, in this order. We were just 2 persons in the car, myself and my husband.
The trip was so much more than just travelling and being on a safari, it was an adventure we will cherish for the rest of our lives. We saw so many different animals that it was hard to keep track. The most memorable moments were the chimpanzee and gorilla trekkings, the Kazinga channel cruise and a walking safari among the giraffes.
I first selected three different operators through the safaribookings.com that I asked an offer from. I then selected one (Pamoja Tours&Travel) based on itinerary, price and other information I got from the operator.
Working on the booking with Pamoja (Regina Atamba) worked very well from the beginning to the end (we also had to change some dates as our flights were rebooked). Regina must hold the unofficial record in response time - also on weekends which we worry a bit about ;-)
The meals, hotels, park visits etc. were better than expected and according to the plan. You will not go hungry in Uganda!
We did not need to worry about anything during the trip. Our guide was Amos, a very knowledgeable and also agreeable person to travel with (thank you so much!) - everything went very smoothly! Amos is also a great photographer and a birdwatcher.
We did drive 1500km during the week on roads with variable condition so we got the "African massage" almost every day. If I would book the trip again, I would fly the longest legs. Also, we had a very packed programme so I might see to having one or two afternoons off (= without any programme).
