A Tazannian owned professional and personable operator
We spent a 9-day, 7-night private safari with Meru Slopes and had a fantastic experience. We initially coordinated our booking through Leonard, who was incredible. While we already had a rough outline of our itinerary and preferred accommodations, Leonard advised and consulted with us to narrow down the final selection of lodges and routes. He was professional, highly responsive to our questions, and never pushy. He even met us at the start of our tour to introduce us to our driver/guide, Max, and caught up with us at the end of the trip to collect our feedback.
Our guide, Max, was incredibly pleasant, knowledgeable, and a safe driver. He worked with us every day to plan our schedule, knowing exactly how to navigate the circuits to maximize our wildlife viewings. Thanks to him, we saw an abundance of animals—including the Big Five and the Great Migration—often getting up close and personal with lions and cheetahs. By the end of the trip, Max felt like an extended member of our family.
There are a lot of operators out there, and it can be hard to know who to trust from afar online. We are so glad we chose Meru Slopes. They are professional, personable, competitively priced, and truly willing to tailor the trip exactly how you want it. I highly recommend them!

Safari with Summer Winter
My trip to Tanzania was a real eye-opener. Thanks to the expertise of our guide and driver, we were able to get up close to wildlife that I had previously only seen in documentaries. The people here are all very warm and friendly. Thanks to the plan the team put together, we get to observe something different every day. The price is also reasonable.
A potential issue for all travelers: there is a lot of dust along the way. Drivers here are accustomed to driving with the windows open, and the roof of the safari vehicle remains open during the tour, which allows a significant amount of dust to enter the cabin. This can cause personal belongings to become covered in dust and may irritate your respiratory system.
Amazing safari tour with a great guide and company!
We had a really amazing Safari with Lion King Adventures. We had great communication with the company before leaving and from pick up at the airport we felt very well taken care of. Our guide, Musa, was amazing at his job and obviously cared very much for making sure we were having a great time and staying safe and comfortable. We visited Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorogoro Crater, and Lake Manyara and each place was truly special and Musa seemed to have a map of everything in his head, bringing us to uncrowded areas of the parks and we saw countless animals. The places we stayed were all perfect- very friendly staff, tasty food, and comfortable rooms. It was a life changing experience and we are very grateful for it!

Excellent guide and company
We had an amazing 5-day safari with Migration Venture Africa! Everything was perfectly organized from start to finish.
Our guide, Peter, was outstanding. He is an excellent driver who knows every road by heart, making us feel safe and comfortable throughout the trip. His knowledge of the wildlife is impressive, and he genuinely enjoys sharing interesting facts and answering questions. Thanks to him, we were able to see so many incredible animals.
The lodges fully met our expectations, and the food was consistently good throughout the trip.
What also stood out was Peter’s character. Besides being a fantastic guide, he was always willing to help fellow guides with his mechanical knowledge whenever someone had car trouble.

Without a doubt choosing John Hagia as your driver will make your safari an unforgettable experience
Our safari was an incredible experience, and a big part of that was thanks to our driver, John Hagiah. He was incredibly kind from the very beginning and always knew the best spots to take us to see the animals.
He drove tirelessly to make sure we got the most out of every moment, and whenever possible, he found alternative routes to avoid the traffic, which is something we would highly recommend in a city like Nairobi.
He also handled interactions with the local people with great ease, something we really appreciated as foreigners. Above all, we were impressed by his extensive knowledge of the wildlife and the best places to see it. Thanks to his experience, professionalism, and genuinely kind personality, our trip became an unforgettable adventure.
Without a doubt, choosing John Hagiah as your driver will make your safari an unforgettable experience.

Amazing time with our guide Musa
Our entire experience was perfect! Pick up from the airport was waiting for us on arrival. Every hotel they chose for us was comfortable with great food and amenities, they all felt very luxurious. Our guide Musa was an incredible driver and an educated naturalist. He found elusive animals and knew every road of each park we visited. We couldn’t ask for anything more and highly recommend Lion King.

Excellent Communication, Responsive, & A Great Safari Tour
We just came back from a 6 day safari booked through Topma.
The safari was great, and our experience with Topma was excellent. Max was always very helpful, very responsive and overall provided information and guidance on anything we asked about. It was great to have him responsively helping with any questions we had throughout our trip. Other than that, the whole experience was fantastic. Highly recommend!
An Unforgettable Safari with an Exceptional Guide
We had a wonderful safari experience with Axis Africa Safaris. Communicating and planning with Axis was very easy from the start. They were always quick to respond, and the fact that most of the communication was done through WhatsApp made the whole process even easier and more convenient.
We especially want to recognize our guide, Peter Kapino. Peter was amazing throughout the trip. He was very friendly, patient, and accommodating, always understanding the different needs of our family and making sure everyone felt comfortable. It was clear from the beginning that he puts real passion into his work.
His knowledge of wildlife is excellent, and we were especially impressed by his deep knowledge of birds. He knew the animals, the parks, and the best times to start each day so we could have the best possible sightings. His experience and understanding of the places we visited made a big difference in our safari.
We are very grateful for Peter’s kindness, professionalism, and enthusiasm. He helped make this trip truly memorable. We highly recommend Axis Africa Safaris, and especially Peter Kapino as a guide.
