Just the best !!
KG is a 10/10 driver / guide / tour operator you could ask for for a trip around South Africa! He joined us on an 8 day trip and was knowledgable, friendly and funny and really made the trip what it was - and worked alongside our other guide to teach us so much.
Thanks for being the best KG and for making our trip so memorable. Couldn’t recommend more :)

Outstanding !
Wow- what an Amazing Trip!! Where do I start ? From the first day of planning and first message I sent to enquire, the whole trip was a dream come true. Max (Aka My Top Agent) was soo attentive and very understanding with soo many changes even before going. He was soo understanding with our needs and desire of this epic trip. He planned and worked with me to provide us with a complementary trip which to date I will never forget. The journey was carefully planned and I felt at ease incase anything happened.Our amazing trip organised was visits to Maasai Mara, Hot Air Balloon, Serengeti Safari and also having a few relaxing days in Zanzibar. The whole 3.5 weeks was organised with perfection by Topma Tours. They even gave us complementary site visits and also upgraded services which were not included in our packages. A massive Thank you to Max and his team and lastly it was a dream come true to see the Big Five African Game Animals and it wouldn’t have happened if it wasn't for their game drivers experience, patience and reassurances!
I would recommend Max and Topma Tours to everyone ! I cant wait to use their services again in the near future.
From your Truly Valued customers always,

Safari in Seregenti and Ngorongoro
The safari was absolutely spectacular! From start to finish, Steven took care of us in every single moment and made sure we experienced everything to the fullest. He was attentive, knowledgeable, and went above and beyond to make the journey unforgettable. Thanks to him, we felt safe, comfortable, and truly immersed in the adventure.
David, the chef, was also amazing—he treated us with so much kindness and prepared delicious meals that made the whole experience even more special. Having such warm and professional people around us really elevated the trip.
We couldn’t have asked for a better safari, and we 100% recommend doing it with them. It’s an experience we will treasure forever!

Rough land but warm and gentle people and luxorios rooms – Magic
From the moment we arrived at the camp, we were treated like royalty. The staff were absolutely incredible – warm, attentive, and genuinely passionate about making our stay unforgettable. Every tent had its own dedicated Maasai guard, watching over us day and night, adding both a sense of safety and authenticity to the experience.
The tents themselves? Pure magic. Built with natural bamboo, high ceilings, and thoughtful design touches – like being able to watch the sunset from the bathtub or toilet! Waking up to views of the distant mountains, surrounded by the wild sounds of nature, was something I’ll never forget.
Meals were a highlight in themselves – delicious, fresh, and served in the most breathtaking setting imaginable. One day we dined in the middle of an open field in the savannah, with just our small group of four. You couldn’t even see the other tents, which made it feel like we had the whole of Mikumi to ourselves.
Evenings were spent around the campfire, dancing and singing “Hakuna Matata” under the stars – a moment of pure joy and connection.

Very knowledgeable
Tour operator communicated well with other operators for sightings. Was hoping to see Lions but was disappointed that did not see any. Most animals were in the bush difficult to see.

Trip of a Lifetime!
We booked a safari with Susan and as it was something I have been eagerly anticipating most of my life we opened the budget strings a little. If we were going to do it once we really wanted to get it right and make sure to make the most of it. We were still blown away. Although we have been home for a couple weeks it still hasn't really sunk it what an amazing experience it was. Susan set up an incredible itinerary, both Tanzania and Kenya during the wildebeest migration. Stayed a two five star camps, Taasa Lodge and the Soroi Luxury Migration Camp and both were better than we could have even hoped. Animals experiences were incredible, staff were unbelievably friendly, food unreal. Just a great family experience.
When there were little hiccups, and there are bound to be, Susan promptly responded and sorted it out. She was great. Would recommend her to anyone looking for a trip of a lifetime safari!

Professional and attentive; wonderful guide
Last week, I went on safari with Meru Slopes and it was the best traveling experience I have ever had!
To begin, in choosing the company, I compared various companies. I compared the number of days of safari, services, and accommodations, and Meru Slopes stood out the most because of its fair pricing. For instance, while other companies may have been slightly cheaper, there were additional costs that made the cost higher in the end, or, in contrast, there were companies that offered the same exact same services at a higher price.
Once I settled on Meru Slopes, I was in constant communication with Jerome, who was very attentive, informative, and quick to respond. His email communications made me feel at ease that I was dealing with a professional company, and gave me reassurance that I had chosen the right company. Jerome was so helpful that he even answered some questions regarding flights to Zanzibar, which was a separate matter from their services. I thought that was very kind of him to answer questions that were outside the scope of their services.
Then, when we (my mother and I (f)) finally arrived in Tanzania, airport pickup was smooth and easy and we were taken to our lovely accommodation for the night before heading out to safari the following morning. The next morning we met the face of Meru Slopes, Jerome, and our guide, Julius, aka Little Lion.
I have to say that I believe that we had the most wonderful experience on safari in Tanzania because of Julius. Since we met him, Julius was cheerful, energetic, and full of information to share. He was so attentive and kind to us, that it felt like we had met up with family or a longtime friend. On safari, he did the best he could to help us see the Big 5. Thankfully, we were blessed and did get to see them all, even Rhinos in Ngorongoro! Julius definitely made the trip an experience of a lifetime and we hope to see him again in the future!
Overall, safari with Meru Slopes was amazing! I can’t wait to recommend them to my family and friends for their next safari adventure. All the parks we visited, Tarangire, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro, were wonderful and we saw plenty of wildlife, zebra, wildebeest, giraffes, hippos, lions, cheetahs, leopards, antelope and the like, as well as plenty of elephants. Often time, we had very close encounters with these animals, even hyenas, which made the game drives so exhilarating.
So, if you’re read this far, don’t think about it any further and book with Meru Slopes! I am confident you will have a wonderful time with them. As someone who saw other tour companies operate while there, trust me, Meru Slopes is a safe and reliable company to work with.

Amazing birthday experience!
It was an amazing experience, from the moment the picked us up in the airport to all the food and services provided. The staff was always very helpful and we were amazed by the parks and animals. Everything was great, they even cooked a cake for my birthday which I really appreciated it. It’s a unique experience and we would def recommend it with Suricata. We got to learn a new culture, see beautiful animals in their natural habitat and enjoyed the company of our group which turned out to be a perfect fit. Asante sana to our guide Elias! They were always checking on how we were.

Excellent service
My recent trip with Widman Tours and Safari through Mikumi, Udzungwa Mountains, and Ruaha was truly an extraordinary experience. From the moment we arrived, the team demonstrated exceptional professionalism, friendliness, and dedication to ensuring every detail was perfect.
The safari itinerary was perfectly curated, offering a fantastic mix of wildlife viewing, scenic landscapes, and cultural insights. Mikumi National Park provided us with unforgettable game drives, where we saw lions, elephants, giraffes, and a variety of other incredible animals in their natural habitat. The Udzungwa Mountains offered breathtaking hikes and stunning waterfalls, providing a refreshing contrast to the open plains. Ruaha National Park was the highlight of the trip, with its vast wilderness, diverse wildlife, and incredible landscapes that left us in awe.
Our guides were knowledgeable, passionate, and attentive, making sure we didn’t miss any exciting moments. The accommodations arranged by Widman Tours were comfortable, well-located, and added to the overall enjoyment of our adventure.
This trip exceeded all our expectations, and I highly recommend Widman Tours and Safari to anyone looking for an authentic and well-organized Tanzanian safari experience. It’s a journey that will stay with us forever!
