An unforgettable private safari experience
We cannot recommend Meru Slopes highly enough! We had an absolutely fantastic experience in Tanzania, and the whole team played a part in making our trip so special.
A special mention must go to Douglas, our safari guide, who was simply wonderful. Extremely knowledgeable, passionate about wildlife and always great company.
He was constantly on the lookout for animals, spotting things we would never have noticed ourselves, and took the time to explain their behaviour, characteristics and fascinating details about the wildlife around us. His knowledge really brought the whole safari experience to life.
We always felt completely safe and in good hands with him. Our two teenage boys absolutely loved him too, which says a lot! He made every game drive enjoyable, interesting and memorable.
The picnics and bush lunches were also absolutely perfect, adding an extra special touch to an already incredible experience.
A special mention also goes to Jerome, who organised our entire trip. He was extremely responsive, helpful and accommodating throughout, always happy to answer our questions and adapt the arrangements to meet our requests. Everything was organised smoothly, making the whole experience stress-free from start to finish.
In the last two days, we were accompanied by Edison, who was also fantastic. He confidently navigated the really challenging roads up to Materuni Waterfall and then took us to explore the local market and the Maasai market the following day. He was friendly, helpful and made these last experiences of our trip thoroughly enjoyable.

PERFECTION!
I highly recommend L & D Lion Guides. As a small, family operation they excel at customer service with a personal touch, and everything was seamless from start to finish. Dorit was professional and so easy to work with in the planning stage. Her response time was phenomenal, and she really listened to my requests, while educating me on my choices which included the Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, Karatu, and Tarangire. I flew into the Seronera Airstrip where Dorit and Luciano met me with warm smiles and a cold beer-- and the safari began! Luciano is an expert guide in every way. His love for all animals (even seeing beauty in the ugly 5) is a reflection of his spirit of joy and the positive energy he brings to the adventure. He was happy to honor my request go "pole pole" which revealed many animal encounters we would have missed otherwise, like the cheetah hunting an impala and the elephants taking a mud shower. Luciano and Dorit shared so much knowledge and local culture as well. I give them credit for making this a truly magical experience and the memories I made I will hold in my heart forever. They are beautiful people and shared Tanzania with so much care and love. I was in Africa for a month and this was the highlight my trip, as well my favorite safari destination. If you are looking into Tanzania safaris, L & D Lion Guides is the one!

Outstanding
We recently returned from an incredible trip organized by MorningStar, and the experience exceeded all our expectations. They perfectly balanced a thrilling safari adventure with a deeply relaxing beach getaway. Our safari guides were highly knowledgeable and respectful of the wildlife, ensuring we had unforgettable encounters in the savannah. The lodges they booked for us were fantastic, blending seamlessly into the natural surroundings while providing top-tier comfort.
They were also exceptionally accommodating, flawlessly arranging a few last-minute additions we requested without any hesitation. After the excitement of the safari, MorningStar organized a seamless transfer to the coast. The beach resort they selected was absolutely stunning, offering exceptional service. Their incredible attention to detail and outstanding logistics made this a stress-free trip of a lifetime.
I highly recommend booking with Timothy if you are looking for an exceptional safari experience. He is an incredibly experienced guide who truly knows his stuff, from spotting hidden wildlife to expertly navigating the savannah. His deep knowledge and confident approach made our adventure completely unforgettable.
I highly recommend MorningStar to anyone looking for the ultimate safari and beach holiday!

Very respectful and hardworking crew that made sure we had the best experience.
Our experience with Tlagae African Safaris was nothing short of amazing. The crew was very respectful and helpful from start to finish and made sure that my wife, son and I were comfortable and enjoying ourselves from start to finish. We were picked up from our lodge in Maun early morning and drove out to our camp in the delta. We arrived and within minutes gear was being unloaded and breakfast was being set up. After they made sure we were good and full, we head out on our morning drive excursion into the safari. Immediately you are greeted with nature. Zebras, giraffes, elephants, impala, wildebeest, and dozens of beautiful bird species almost anywhere you look in their natural habitat. We were fortunate enough to come across a pride of lions and were able to get much closer to these animals than I ever imagined. We were briefed beforehand on how to behave around the animals and at no time did we feel unsafe when we were literally just a few meters away. After our game drive we headed back to our camp where the other 2 members of the crew had stayed behind and set up or site for the night. Our huge private tent was set up with beds with all our belongings put inside and a delicious lunch was waiting for us. We set out again afterwards to get to our sunset Mokoro ride. When we got the the river we were greeted by a few of the locals who were our Mokoro guides. We spent the evening drifting through the shallow waters on the river surrounded by countless different beautiful birds, an elephant walking down the river bank and even were lucky enough to see a pack of very rare wild dogs. Followed up by an unforgettable African sunset over the horizon, it was truly moment in life I will never forget. We made the drive back to our camp where our camp fire was lit, dinner table was set up and dinner was just being finished up. We enjoyed a delicious dinner and sat around the fire with our guides enjoying a few laughs and stories. In the morning we woke up to a delicious breakfast and hot drinks before the crew packed up all the gear and we head out. Our time on our safari experience was truly amazing and our crew with Tlagae African Safaris couldn't have been any better. Very respectful people who made sure we felt as comfortable and safe as we could be. My only complaint is that we did not book long enough! When we come back we will definitely be booking a multi day safari experience with Tlagae African Safaris.

Professional
Joseph was very professional and a good driver. He gave us time to stretch our legs and made sure we were all on the shuttle.
Totally brilliant safari thanks to the awesome Serengeti African Tours
I can’t rate this company highly enough. Right from my first contact with Inviolata, the information provided was clear and she put together a great 9 day trip for me, my daughter and niece. It was great to meet her in person the day we arrived, for a briefing about our trip so we knew what to expect.
Our safari guide Ombeni went above and beyond to make our trip unforgettable. We saw so many animals, especially in the Serengeti (our favourite place). The tented camp was brilliant and we had the company of a grazing hippo right outside our tent one night. Ombeni also has a great sense of humour and we had such a lot of fun too with lots of laughs and banter.
We also had Efraim on our trip, a trainee guide, who was brilliant and it was a pleasure to get to know him over the week. He has a fantastic knowledge of animals and I am sure he will soon be expertly leading his own safaris.
I am especially grateful to them for rescuing our family members, who were on safari with another company that was very poorly organised. Thank you Ombeni.
All in all, Serengeti African Safaris are a highly professional and dedicated company who go out of their way to ensure their clients have a wonderful time. First class all round!

Excellent!
We had an amazing safari! They planned the safari just as we asked them to. Our guide was knowledgeable and could pick out the animals from far or near (I had to use binoculars to see what he saw!). He picked us up and dropped us off at the hotel without trouble. It was worth every penny we paid for it! We would definitely go with them again!

Amazing 4 days safari trip! Recommend it to everyone!
We had an amazing 4-day safari with Suricata Safaris! Everything was very well organized, communication was quick, and all our pickups went smoothly.
We saw the entire Big 5, and the animals were so close to our jeep it felt like you could reach them. A huge thank you to our guide, Ecky—he is so friendly, super organized, a great driver, and told us so many cool facts about the animals. It was also really nice to see how much he genuinely enjoys what he is doing every day!
We also met some really nice people who joined our car, had all our meals together, and had so much fun—so if you're thinking of joining as a solo traveler, don't worry at all.
Camping was great, and the food prepared by our chef was delicious at every single meal. Fantastic value for money and an unforgettable experience. Highly recommend Suricata Safaris and Ecky to everyone!
