Amazing 3-Day Safari
Magoma led my girlfriend and I through Claws of Africa, and it was an adventure we will never forget. His knowledge and passion made each moment unique. His stories about the animals' activities kept us interested and entertained, and he knew exactly where to find them. The entire trip was easy and fun because of Magoma's great attention to our requirements, friendliness, and respect. He took the time to explain the significance of conservation efforts, which we particularly valued. Because of Magoma's warmth and professionalism, this tour surpassed our expectations. Magoma would be our guide if we were to choose Claws Of Africa again!

It was an experience that completely exceeded my expectations.
This summer I volunteered in Arusha, and as a grand finale to that amazing trip and experience, I booked a safari tour, which has been one of the best experiences I've had so far.
The staff is excellent; you feel right at home.
They take care of you, teach you, explain things, and make sure you enjoy yourself to the fullest.
I highly recommend it and would definitely do it again.

Incredible Honeymoon experience with Meru Slopes!
We just got back from an amazing 8-night/9-day honeymoon safari in Tanzania with Meru Slopes, and we honestly can’t recommend them enough. We visited Tarangire, Ngorongoro Crater, Central Serengeti, Northern Serengeti, and Lake Manyara—each spot was so different and brought new exciting game sightings. The scenery, the wildlife, the whole experience was just unreal. Everything was super well organized, and the whole trip went off without a hitch.
Our guide Max was an absolute standout. He’s been guiding for over 10 years, and his deep knowledge of the parks and animals really made the trip. He always seemed to know where to go and what to look for, and we saw so much thanks to him. It was also clear he’s really respected in the guiding community—lots of other guides greeted him by name out in the bush. On top of all that, he was an incredibly safe driver, which we really appreciated on those long stretches and bumpy roads.
Jerome handled all the logistics and planning, and was fantastic from start to finish. He even helped us adjust our itinerary just a couple weeks before the trip to fit in an extra day due to a flight change, which made everything so much smoother. We also did two excursions around Arusha, and had Nickson and Edison as our guides—both were super friendly, knowledgeable, and added so much to the overall experience.
We went with mid-level luxury for our accommodations, staying in a mix of bush camps and lodges, and every place we stayed at was great—super comfortable, amazing food, and beautiful settings. It was the perfect mix of comfort and adventure.
This was a dream honeymoon, and Meru Slopes really made it something we’ll never forget. If you’re thinking about a safari in Tanzania, don’t hesitate—these guys are the real deal.
P.s. - they surprised us with a “Just Married” wheel cover for the trip!

Meru Slopes Made Our Honeymoon Truly Unforgettable!!
Our honeymoon safari with Meru Slopes was absolutely magical! We did a 9-day trip through Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, and Lake Manyara, and every moment was unforgettable.
Max, our guide, was amazing—kind, knowledgeable, and always knew the best spots for wildlife. Jerome made planning seamless, and Nickson and Edison went above and beyond by taking us to hot springs, a waterfall, and a coffee tour on our extra days.
The whole team made us feel so well cared for and turned our dream trip into reality. Highly recommend Meru Slopes to anyone looking for the safari experience of a lifetime!

Fair, honest & reliable
I chose Inspired Feet because it seemed the best value for money compared to other operators, and because it is important to me to support women-owned businesses. Fiona is very, very organized and responds very quickly to any question. In addition, she is very honest about what to expect, which I found refreshing. For instance, because this is a budget safari, some accommodations might not be up to everyone's standards, but this is clearly communicated even before booking, which I do think is exceptional and very fair. So thank you for that, Fiona!
Now, regarding our safari, accommodations were as expected or better, food was okay, and we were very lucky to have Bony as our driver and guide, who had a great eye for spotting animals. Additionally, unlike some other guides we saw, he never crowded the animals, which I really appreciated. He really took into consideration what the group wanted.
Some constructive feedback:
1. Sometimes there was a lack of communication between Bony and the group. For instance, two people in our group had a bit of a different route, and were therefore unable to do some of the optional activities, which they were only made aware of the day before we had planned to do those activities. Different things were communicated to them and Bony, so there was some confusion. I think it would be helpful if each group sat down together in the beginning of the trip to discuss details like this. In general, there could be a little bit more communication throughout the day about what's next, etc.
2. Please try to encourage your clients to preserve the nature they are traveling to see. I believe that just a few words in the beginning of each trip and maybe a trash bin or bag in the car could really make a difference. Someone in our group kept throwing his still lit cigarettes butts (and other trash) into the savanna, and apart from the fact that he could have started a fire, this is just plain harmful to the environment. A little awareness could go a long way here.

Amazing family safari in Nyerere NP
We did an amazing safari with African Pangolin Safari. Mansoor explained everything very well in advance and delivered exactly on the promises. Our tour guide Rajabu was fantastic and worked very hard to make our experience memorable. We stayed in a camp outside the park which worked very well. The food was delicious and considered all our dietary requirements. The whole safari was great value for money. We just felt a bit sorry for the giraffe that the three lionesses were chewing on while we watched. :-) Thank you to the whole team!

The secret of an unforgettable Serengeti Safari is our guide Champion
I cannot recommend Serengeti Smile highly enough. Our experience started from the informative suggestion from Erick during booking, tailoring our trip, always responding our questions promptly even during evening and weekend.
Our Serengeti Safari was one of the most incredible experiences of a lifetime. The vast landscapes, golden savannahs, and sheer abundance of wildlife were simply breathtaking. Every game drive felt like stepping into a nature documentary—lions resting under acacia trees, herds of elephants moving gracefully across the plains and river bank, giraffes stretching above the horizon, and endless wildebeest and zebra dotting the land
What made this journey truly exceptional, was our safari guide Champion. His knowledge of the Serengeti was outstanding—not only could he spot animals from incredible distances, but also shared fascinating details about animal behavior, conservation, and the ecosystem that brought every sighting to life. His passion and respect for the wildlife and environment were truly inspiring. Beyond expertise, his warmth and attentiveness made the entire trip comfortable and enjoyable. He was patient, ensuring we had enough time at each sighting, and always made us feel safe and well cared for. His enthusiasm was contagious, and it turned each drive into a thrilling adventure filled with learning and excitement.
