The Safari was perfect, it was a one in a lifetime experience!
5/5

An absolutely unforgettable safari experience! We saw an incredible variety of wildlife and were lucky enough to spot all of the Big Five in their natural habitat. It couldn’t have been better! A special thank you to our guide Gilbert, whose outstanding knowledge, sharp eyes and passion made this experience truly exceptional. He went above and beyond to make sure we had the best possible wildlife encounters. Everything was perfectly organized from start to finish. Highly recommended – a well-deserved 5 stars!

Perfect 2‑night stay at Selous Mapumziko Lodge
5/5

We spent two amazing nights at Selous Mapumziko Lodge, surrounded by beautiful nature and total peace. The staff were incredibly kind, always smiling and genuinely attentive (Tomasini alias Hope at first). Our full‑day safari was unforgettable — we saw lions, lionesses, giraffes, elephants, buffalos, hippos, and many more animals. Thanks at our french guide Gladyss !!! If you dont speak english fluently, ask her help...
The sunrise boat tour was stunning our boat guide told us a lot of funny stories, that was a moment of pure pleasure. And the visit to the Maasai village felt authentic and enriching. Comfortable accommodation, great food, and excellent organization from start to finish.
A lodge I truly recommend, a big thank you to Philbert !!!

Recommended tour operator - good experience overall
5/5

Everything went smooth from the planning of the itinerary to the coordination on the day of the trips / experiences. My sales coordinator was Godian.
They were also flexible to adjust the itinerary on the day to fit the remaining time we had due to flight and other delays, in order for the experiences not to feel rushed.

My tour coordinator was Gudluck who was knowledgeable of the terrain and hospitable. He made sure my partner and I were comfortable and well taken care of throughout the 2-day trip, and through the very long drives.

The Safari experience itself was good, could have been better if wildlife movement was more active, and we got the chance to see the Big 5 as anticipated reason why we chose Ngorongoro crater. Unfortunately the animals and not paid actors, so their movement is unpredictable :)

Maasai village experience was insightful, was good to see how the community lives, dress in their attire, watch them perform and also join in the performance, and purchase some of their crafts to support the community.

Arusha market experience was also interesting, although it felt very heavily like a tourist trap as prices were over inflated by the vendors, I would not recommend this tour unless there is something specific you’re interested in getting in the market.

We had an amazing safari with Gilbert!
He was a fantastic guide, very knowledgeable, friendly, and made our safari truly unforgettable. Thanks to him, we had the incredible opportunity to see all of Tanzania’s Big Five! 🐆🐘🦁🦏🐃 This was a dream come true for us, and we couldn’t have asked for a better guide. Everything was perfectly organized, and we felt in great hands throughout the entire trip. We highly recommend Gilbert to anyone planning a safari in Tanzania. Thank you for making this such an unforgettable experience! ❤️🌍

An Exceptional Overland Experience

My experience with African Overland was outstanding from start to finish. Their communication prior to and during the tour was prompt, clear, and reassuring, and their overall service and cooperation were among the best I have encountered.

Our driver/guide was extraordinarily knowledgeable about the wildlife, spotting animals easily and sharing fascinating insights throughout the trip. The entire team ensured the safari was safe, well-organized, and reliable. Considering the top-notch service and seamless coordination, it was excellent value for money. I highly recommend African Overland to anyone looking for a memorable and stress-free safari adventure!

Extraordinay experiences with Captain Khalifa
5/5

First trip to Africa in Kenya for safari tours with Axis but really can't wait to come back again. Respect very much the vision of having natinal parks and conservation areas 100 years back. Love people especially Captain Khalifa with zero mileages who guided us along the way. Have al lot of fun and jokes. Wish Axis team all the best and God bless Kenya.

Choose Meru Slopes for an unforgettable, amazing experience!
5/5

We had the best time going with Meru Slopes Tours & Safaris. We visited Arusha NP, Lake Natron, Northern Serengeti (Wildebeest River Crossing), Central Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater on a private, 8-day mid-range tour (End of Sept./beginning of Oct. 2026).
From the very first request to the very end of the tour, the communication with the team, especially Almachius, was very professional, helpful and kind.
We were picked up at the airport on time and had a briefing about the upcoming trip.
From the first moment on, we felt very comfortable and welcome.
Our guide was Gideon. He is so kind and very knowledgable about the country, animals, and he made a real effort to show us all of them. He made every wish come true, even when we were annoying about moving a few meters for a better photo. 😅 The car was always super clean and he’s a very safe driver. We felt very safe and welcome all the time.
The lodges that were picked exceeded our expectations. The hospitality of everyone involved knows no bounds.
We recommend Meru Slopes to everyone and want to thank you - especially Almachius and Gideon - for a great experience.
