Unforgettable 4-Day Safari with Sound Of Serengeti – Incredible Wildlife & Exceptional Service
Our 4-day safari to Tarangire, Ngorongoro, and Ndutu was an incredible adventure filled with unforgettable wildlife sightings and breathtaking moments. We saw a wide variety of animals and enjoyed every single day of the trip.
Domician was a fantastic guide skilled, knowledgeable, and always making sure we felt safe while getting us close to the action. His insights and timing made the experience even more special. We’re also very grateful to Eliad for organizing everything so smoothly and responding quickly to all our questions.
Choosing Sound Of Serengeti was the best decision. Great value, excellent service, and truly memorable from start to finish.

Amazing experience
We spent 5 days in a tour with Axis Africa. The guides Sadam and Charles and they are the best. Extremely knowledgeable of the animals and the surroundings, we got quickly to the best spots and were able to appreciate wildlife at it's purest form. We took photos for a lifetime....
They were also extremely organised, pontual, helpfull and proactive in sharing all their knowledge.
Value for money, an extremely good option.
We we a group with a lot of kids, so flexibility is a must, and with Sadam and Charles, it's always Hakuna Matana :)

Rich in knowledge
I had an amazing safari tour experience! Our guide, Victor, was incredibly knowledgeable and shared so many detailed insights about the animals. No matter what you asked, he always had an answer, which made the whole experience even more interesting and engaging.
The tour itself was very smooth and well organized from start to finish, so we could just relax and enjoy everything. You can really tell they know what they’re doing.
I would definitely recommend this safari tour to anyone looking for a great and informative experience!

Wonderful Safari
A fantastic experience! Thanks to our guide, IMMA, with 20 years of experience. His driving skills were superb; he navigated even the most challenging terrain flawlessly! Crucially, his search and rescue abilities were top-notch. With most guides now having walkie-talkies, they knew exactly where the animals were! His commentary was also engaging and entertaining!
Hotels in Ndutu are in short supply. While the price-performance ratio wasn't great, the fact that we could enjoy dumplings during Chinese New Year, and that they provided hair conditioner and tissues, showed thoughtfulness. Chinese people really do understand Chinese people!
We were very satisfied with the hotels in the Serengeti; the space, facilities, and food were all excellent.
The only downside was the hotel in Karatu—it was too far, and the food wasn't very good. Maybe the previous hotels were just too delicious!
Anyway, a delightful safari has come to an end!

Great orangnization，experienced Guide
Our guide gave us a fantastic safari. On the first day, we saw lions, wildebeest, and antelopes, and on the second day, we saw cheetahs—the children were thrilled!
The hotel arrangements were also excellent. The luxury tents we stayed in during the safari were very unique, and the calls of spotted hyenas at night helped us fall asleep. The hotel food on the last night was a bit lacking, but Alex, the owner of Whistling, was incredibly kind and personally treated us to a meal as an apology. Although it wasn't his fault, we were very grateful for his kindness, which made our safari a wonderful experience!

A First Trip to Africa That Stole Our Hearts - Thank You, Meru Slopes!
Our 7-day safari with Meru Slopes Tours & Safaris for the wildebeest calving season was truly the trip of a lifetime! From our first interaction, Gift was incredible, meticulously planning every detail of our private itinerary and making us feel completely at ease. I wanted to choose a company based in Tanzania and Gift answered every question I had.
The level of personal care was outstanding. Josef, our transfer driver, made our arrival and transitions through Arusha effortless. Gift met us on our arrival night to discuss logistics and answer any questions we had. He encouraged us to learn by asking, about Africa and Tanzania. Our game drive guide and driver, Jacob, was the absolute star of the trip. Whether we were navigating the rugged, baobab-filled landscapes of Tarangire or descending into the Ngorongoro Crater, his expertise ensured we had the best possible views of the Big Five. We felt incredible in his skilled hands throughout the entire journey.
The accommodations Gift chose for us were perfect and varied:
* Under the Shade Safari Lodge (Arusha): A peaceful base to start and end our trip. The hospitality was warm, and it was the perfect place to relax after our flights.
* Farm of Dreams Lodge (Karatu): We loved the quiet, palm-fringed grounds. The rooms were spacious and spotless, and beautifully done. The hospitality warmed us.
* Ngorongoro Lion’s Paw Camp: This was a highlight! Staying right on the crater rim with such luxurious safari tents was magical. The views from the terrace were breathtaking, sounds of the jungle surrounded us and the food in the restaurant was exceptional.
* Kontiki Ndutu Camp: Nestled right in the heart of Ndutu, this camp put us in the perfect position to experience the calving season. It felt authentic and high-end, and the courtesy of the staff was second to none.
Across all locations, the cleanliness, comfort, hospitality, and food including the open-air picnic lunches in the wild were beyond yum. We slept incredibly well each night.
Jacob’s patience and enthusiasm were the reasons our trip was so successful. He drove us deep into the heart of Ndutu, ensuring we didn't just see animals, but experienced their world. The wildlife sightings were staggering! We saw: The Big Five in all their glory, tons of elephants in Tarangire. Multiple Lion prides and several Leopards (including cubs!), Multiple Cheetahs, including a thrilling cheetah chase and a cheetah and leopard with their kills. The Wildebeest Migration with so many young ones was incredible to see. Rare sightings like the Honey Badger, golden Jackals, Hippos, Rhinos, Giraffes, and Flamingos, and Nature in action as we watched different kinds of Vultures and Marabou Storks fighting over carrion and Hyenas and multiple species of Eagles watching closely. At Kontiki Camp, we were surrounded by Zebras!
What truly touched our hearts were the intimate first anniversary celebrations the teams organized for us at both Farm of Dreams and Kontiki. Those surprises were so thoughtful and will remain unforgettable moments for us. The food was fantastic throughout, the cleanliness was impeccable, and the genuine courtesy of everyone we met made us feel so welcome.
We are already planning to come back with our entire family and will definitely be choosing Meru Slopes to plan the trip. Thank you, Gift and Jacob, for making our first anniversary so special! We are already looking forward to our next adventure.

Expertise and professionalism combined with individual needs was the name of the game
My friend arranged the trip with Ben from E-Trip Africa for 4 of us including herself.
I understand communication and service was excellent with a swift response to our many questions and enquiries. We felt we could rely on Ben and his team to deliver exactly what was requested of them and we weren’t disappointed.
Obviously it was the holiday of a lifetime and I questioned splashing out that amount of money ,but it far exceeded all of my expectations and was worth every single penny( and more).
Our driver and guide on safari- Alladin was amazing. An absolute wealth of knowledge who went out of his way to make sure we had the best experience possible. Nothing was too much trouble for him and it was all down to him that we saw and heard all the fantastic sights and sounds that we did. All this coupled with him having a great sense of fun and laughter made the almost 2 week safari seem like a family adventure, whilst at the same time learning about our amazing surroundings.
We stayed in 4 different camps which were all excellent with wonderful staff and wonderful food and it was so exciting moving onward each time- almost like going on another holiday. And of course the journey to each tented camp involved another wonderful safari experience.
Would highly recommend every thing about this trip from our initial contact with E-Trip Africa through to our very last day when we sadly had to say goodbye to our wonderful Alladin

Good budget tour.
Nice budget tour with good supportive guides. During the whole trip, we stayed a few days at camp site, but the quality of the camp was good enough.
