Unforgettable experience thanks to Meru Slopes
We are a couple and booked a 6-day private camping safari with two nights Serengeti, 1 night Ngorongoro, 1 night Tarangire and 1 night Lake Manyara. We had such adventurous, interesting and wonderful 6 days. Of course, a big part play the national parks with their beautiful landscape and all the wild animals living in them. However, what made our journey exceptional and why I am also so glad that we chose Meru Slopes as a tour operater were our guide Robert and chef Buga. They both made it their mission that we have a great time.
We loved that Robert chose rather lonely paths and calmly spotted animals there instead of chasing other jeeps (of which there can be a lot in Central Serengeti). Also, we really realized how much fun he had on the safari and that he really is a friend of the animals - which is always nice to see that the guide enjoys the wildlife too. Robert called the Serengeti his „second home“, and we really realized that. He knew every street and navigated perfectly (which is not obvious!), furthermore he drove very well making us feel always very safe even though we saw a lot of accidents and breakdowns during our journey. When there was a small problem with the car, he quickly repaired it by himself. Also, when we had questions about specific animals or whatever - he gave answers like Google would. When he was overwhelmed by a question of ours, he was not too proud to take out his „African wildlife“ book and search for the specific information - not just saying something vague like other guides would. And - as it can be supposed - his English was superb, in some discussions even better than ours. As a surplus, he was super funny!
Buga, our great chef, always ensured that we have a delicious hot meal for dinner as well as lunch (a lot of other companies do not offer this). Compared to other adventures like this where you have to be afraid of diarrhea, with Buga, you can even eat the raw stuff like salads or whatever - which was great. He even spoke English and was always in a good mood, which lifted us up even early in the morning.
In conclusion, we had an amazing time on this safari and would recommend it to anyone! Thank you !

The best way to get in touch with Africa
I booked a 2 night/3day safari in Nyerere National Park, starting the trip from Zanzibar and finishing back there (flights included).
I choose Shammah Wonder Safari as I took 3 quotes, and from there, Justin, the owner of the company, got in touch with me and started asking my needs and preferences, making sure everything was okay and perfect.
He helped me with all the details, even booking some accommodation in Zanzibar and finding me a driver, Makame.
I had the chance to know him and he was a very charming man who wanted to help in everything he could, so I highly recommend you to book your safari and activities through him.
About the safari, It was a really nice experience, so I could see lions, elephants, giraphs, impalas, zebras, hipos...It is not always easy to find them, but the guides where making an effort trying to find them and explaining you everything they knew about them and the land. Particularly I was very happy with my guides Jackson and Eli, who where very charming and welcoming, with a great level of english.
The accommodation was at Africa Safari Camp, and in my opinion was great, with a nice place to sleep and great food. Masai where guarding the place and they where really nice with guests. At night I had the chance to dance with them and it was an amazing moment I will never forget.
The one thing you should ask, is if you are going to a village or a school, as I did and didn't know. Then, you will have the chance to bring some materials and stuff to children and people over there that could use it and take profit.
In conclusion, this is one of the best experience I ever had and you will not regret if your attitude is positive, curious and grateful.

Amazing!
A safari with Serengeti Wakanda is not just a safari... It's an unforgettable experience, from start to finish: there is no downside. We spent four days roaming the roads of the African savannah, seen heaps of magnificent animals thanks to our patient guide, ate wonderfully thanks to our chef, slept peacefully thanks to Bartho's perfect organization. Book with your eyes closed, and you will remember it all your life!

Beyond expectations and exceptional experience!
We had an absolute glamorous experience in our 3 days safari to Mikumi National park,
we got quite lucky with the game drives and managed to see amazing Tanzanian wildlife beings.
Msangi our tour operator managed to make us meet our beyond expectations by communicating every single detail or demand in advance. Our safari driver Emmanuel provided us with a detailed knowledge of the wild animals and their habitat and was genuinely enjoying sharing the safari experience with us.
Our driver Patrick is a pro on road trips and gave us the best convenience in his rides.
The 3 days Mikumi National Park safari / hiking at Ngorongoro mountain trip is a value for money and an unforgettable experience to get to know Tanzanias wildlife and its amazing and welcoming people.
Would totally recommend

Amazing selection of activities and places where to sleep
Positive aspects: selection of the places where we slept was all amazing (apart from Cresta, too empty and "average"). Food was always outstanding, especially at Chobe. We loved all the activities proposed and what we did. We appreciated a lot the guides at Chobe, at Salty Pan and at Okavango. They were very skilled and told us a lot of interesting information.
To be improved: we would have not left so many times empty, we would have exploited better the time by doing even more stuff, this tour could have easily be done in 6 days instead of 9. The guides were nice and sweet guys, but one of them would have been sufficient. We were expecting more outgoing guides, who could be able to entertain us a bit more. Blessing and Sheila are great people but very shy and we believe it was not necessary for them to be with us at the salty pans activities... we could have done it on our own enjoying the rest of the group we were traveling with.
Overall very positive, we already recommended your tour to other friends of us.

Amazing experience and service, thanks again
My gf and myself went with Serengeti Smile for a 6d Safari in north Tanzania after looking for many quotes (14!) as they were the offering the best tour/value/standards for our criteria. We had such a great time and I can only recommend others to do the same.
We were 2 in our big Land Cruiser with safari roof and our amazing guide Champion – both him and Frank made sure we loved our trip from beginning to end! Even seeing animals/places not part of the program

Just amazing
Max and Jane were absolutely wonderful and took very good care of us through out the trip. After reaching out to a few companies for safari, we found Jane to be very easy to communicate and she was very prompt and responding with options that were suitable for us given it was a last minute plan. After our trip, it was clear that it was the best possible itinerary since we got to cover a lot of places without tiring ourselves out.
Our safari guide was max and he was amazing throughout. Max is very professional and has a lot of knowledge on animal behavior. He drove us from arusha to north Serengeti via central Serengeti and we were surprised how well he knows all the routes in Serengeti even where there are no sign boards. He ensured that we were at the right spots during our game drives for catch sight of interesting activities. He gave us a lot of information during the game drive about the breed, lifestyle, eating habits and other interesting facts on each Anil and bird we came across. It was one of the best trips I have ever had and my wife has the same to say.

GreenHippo Travels has created amazing memories for us! Great organisation & communication!
We had a wonderful time in Tanzania and Zanzibar. Due to the app we received before our holiday we had all information needed and it was a great way to prepare for our trip. Also on sustainable level! During our holiday everything went really smooth, on time, great people, great locations and great mixture in the program. The different activities were spot on. GreenHippo made the holiday different than all the other agents in Tanzania and was really on top of everything. I am a big traveller but this was the best experience with an travel agency ever! Our guide, Peter, really knew everything and was great with the kids! Love GreenHippo Travel!
