Desta Tours is truly professional: well organised, reliable, responsible and knowledgeable.
I took the Historical and Danakil tour for a couple of weeks and would do it again tomorrow, in spite of my eighty years of age. Every day was different and impressive, from Tigray’s dry rocky landscapes hiding unreachable ancient churches, to friendly baboons foraging in the dramatic Semien mountain meadows. I found amazing the differences in Church architecture, from those on Lake Tana to the carved rock ones in Lalibela. I was astounded to discover Ethiopian empires I had never learned about in school: Axum (at the time of Christ) and its collection of stelae, and the Medieval castles in Gondar were for me quite unexpected, exciting discoveries. Everywhere the commentaries and information were complete. There were some long, tough drives in the Danakil Depression, where camping was basic, but well worth the unique experience of exploring the colourful salt of Dallol and the live volcano Erta Ale. Throughout my thought-provoking Ethiopian adventure I always felt safe and cared-for by Desta Tour’s attentive guides, drivers and assistants.

It really doesn't get better than this !!
Having travelled the world I thought I had seen a lot, wildlife and safaris included. All that fades when travelling through Tanzania. Emmanuel and the team at Get Together Adventures put together a fantastic trip which leaded me to Arusha National Park, Tarangire National Park, the impressive Ngorongoro crater and Laka Manyara. A huge variety in landscapes and nature at such a relatively short distance, from rain forest to savannahs and each park with its own beauty and wildlife.
From the first contact with Emmanuel to the last day, everything was perfectly arranged. The organization is professional, personal, and you immediately feel like you're dealing with true safari experts. It is clear that all Emmanuel cares about is for you having a blast of time and creating a great experience. Whether it is patiently waiting for another herd of elephants to pass by or just that one little bird with the beautiful feathers. That all with great respect for nature and with your safety first in mind.
This was not just another trip, this was truly a great experience. If you ever considering traveling to Tanzania, I can only hope you'll contact Emmanuel and Get Together Adventures to help you plan and book your trip.
It really doesn't get any better than this.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect Honeymoon Safari with Meru Slopes Tours & Safaris
We had an incredible 9 days / 8 nights private safari with Meru Slopes Tours & Safaris, and the experience exceeded all our expectations.
Our guide, Nuru, was absolutely outstanding. From the very beginning, he respected our preferences and showed deep respect for wildlife. He has extensive knowledge of animals and their behavior, and his ability to find wildlife was truly impressive. You can genuinely feel that he loves animals and enjoys his work, which made every game drive meaningful and exciting.
Nuru was also very considerate and caring throughout the trip. He always made sure we were comfortable, well-fed, and well-rested. We never had to worry about anything — we could simply relax and fully enjoy the safari experience.
In addition to his professionalism, Nuru was warm and friendly, and he happily shared stories about his daily life with us, which made the journey feel very personal and enjoyable.
This safari was our honeymoon, and it turned out to be the happiest and most unforgettable trip we could have imagined. We are deeply grateful to Nuru for taking such wonderful care of us throughout the entire journey.
We highly recommend Meru Slopes Tours & Safaris, and especially Nuru, to anyone planning a safari in Tanzania. If possible, we would give him 10 stars instead of 5.

Unforgettable safari with a knowledgeable and experienced guide
Wow, where to start.
Our 4-day safari through the Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, and Tarangire was incredible and exceeded all of our expectations. From the wildlife to the landscapes, every day felt special and thoughtfully planned. We were lucky enough to see not only all of the Big Five, but also many animals with their babies, which was an absolutely unforgettable experience.
The lodges and hotels we stayed in were beautiful, peaceful, and clearly very carefully chosen. After busy safari days, returning to such quiet and tranquil settings was perfect. The staff at every location went above and beyond to make us feel welcome, and even the drivers who transferred us between the hotels and the airport were friendly, helpful, and genuinely welcoming.
A huge part of what made this trip so special and memorable was our guide, Innocent. From start to finish, he was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly attentive to our needs. While seeing the Big Five was magical, it wasn’t down to luck, it was down to Innocent’s instincts and knowledge of the animals, parks, and outstanding guiding skills. His ability to spot animals was remarkable and often meant we were the first to see the animals with no one else around. We also noticed other tour guides would come to him for tips on where to spot the animals and everyone at the lodges spoke so highly of him.
Innocent is friendly, warm, and really took the time to get to know us. He knew exactly when to share information and when we needed quiet time to simply take everything in. He knew a lot about the animals, the parks, and local culture which we found fascinating. He also instinctively knew when to stay longer at a sighting and when we were ready to move on, really taking the time to understand us and what we wanted from the experience.
This safari truly felt like a once-in-a-lifetime trip, yet thanks to the incredible experience, we already know we will be back. We couldn’t recommend this safari and Innocent as a guide, highly enough.

Unforgettable 10 days!
We had an absolutely excellent experience with Wild Uganda, who organized our trip across Uganda and Rwanda. From start to finish, everything was very well planned, smooth, and stress-free, allowing us to fully enjoy the adventure.
The safaris were fantastic — especially Murchison Falls National Park and Queen Elizabeth National Park, both offering stunning scenery and unforgettable wildlife encounters. Seeing the Nile forced through the narrow gorge at Murchison Falls was truly spectacular. The gorilla trekking in Uganda was a once-in-a-lifetime experience and was handled with great professionalism and care.
A huge part of what made this trip so special was our guide and driver, Emmy. He is extremely knowledgeable, a very safe driver, and above all a genuinely pleasant person to spend long days with. He took excellent care of us throughout the entire journey and consistently went above and beyond to make sure everything ran perfectly. His local knowledge, calm attitude, and attention to detail made a massive difference.
We traveled as a couple on a private tour and always felt very well looked after. If you are considering a trip to Uganda (and Rwanda), we can wholeheartedly recommend Wild Uganda, and especially Emmy. An unforgettable experience — we would book with them again without hesitation.

A Well-Organized Safari with an Excellent Guide
We went on a 3-night safari and had a truly wonderful experience. Everything was well organized from start to finish, and the safari exceeded our expectations. Our guide, Papa Johns, was highly skilled, knowledgeable, and made the trip both safe and enjoyable. We felt well taken care of throughout the journey and would highly recommend Jocky Tours and Safaris to others looking for a memorable safari experience.

The best tour operator
Akondo tailored our safari exactly to our wishes. Everything before the trip was so smooth, and our guide Richard was absolutely incredible. He taught us so much about the animals and helped us find all the animals we wanted to see.
The price was lower than competitors for exactly the same safari. The accommodation at the lodge was excellent with good food and friendly staff.

A Reliable and Highly Recommended Agency
Great experience with Safari Soles. We looked for the safari ourselves, without any intermediary agencies, and spent a long time comparing different prices and options. We chose Safari Soles because Vivian was very attentive and kept adapting the trip to all our requests.
First of all, the two guides we were with, Eric and Oscar, were extremely friendly from the very first moment. With Eric, we really enjoyed our day in Arusha, and he introduced us very well to Tanzanian culture. Oscar was our guide for most of the safari, and we are incredibly grateful to him because he made a great effort to ensure we could see as many animals as possible in the time we had, allowing us to leave Tanzania saying that we had seen the Big Five. He adjusted the itinerary so that we could experience everything at a relaxed pace, which we truly appreciated. In addition, we shared many great moments with him, and he made us feel very comfortable at all times.
Secondly, the experience was amazing, and we are very happy with all the accommodations they selected for us. We also had plenty of food and drinks throughout the entire trip.
We hope to return to Tanzania someday, and we would definitely choose them again without hesitation. Asente sana!
