I will never forget this experience
I searched a lot before choosing but I wasn't wrong with Suricata. Our driver was super professional, even with the excessive rain that there was. Never stuck with the jeep. He knew so much about parks. Spectacular food thanks to Salim! Everything is too good.

It was unforgettable! We had so much fun with the team and thanks to them we made it to the summit!
It was an unforgettable experience! The team was very helpful throughout the whole trip. The food was outstanding and they even made us a cake after the summit! We had a lot of fun and learned a lot. We all made it to the summit and we’re very thankful for the team that helped us through it. Still thinking about the experience daily!

Incredibly professional tour operator
Me and Matteo did the 4-Day safari experience from dec 31 to jan 3rd starting from Arusha under the guidance of John, our special guide that greatly contributed to enriching our experience!
Day 1 we visited the Tarangire park, wonderful animals and landscapes
Day 2 and 3 - Ngorongoro park, Maasai village and Serengeti were we found ourselves immersed into paradise, everywhere we looked we could see incredible landscapes and animals everywhere. We slept in the Sera tented camp and Karatu tended camp that is situated inside the Serengeti and gives a full experience of the African safari wildlife.
Day 4 - Ngorongoro Crater: a natural wildlife park that doesn't even seem real. In the crater all the animals live side by side in harmony creating a truly magical place that we will never forget.
Every place and experience was enriched by our guide John that wisely indicated facts about the environment and the animals all along the way and made our safari even better.
We suggest to everyone to book through this tour operator - they are the best!

An amazing, singing and adventurous journey
In 2021 we had the pleasure to do a couple of hiking trips with Patrick on the Kilimanjaro. Patrick really made my day because he was enthusiastic, fun and just a real nice guy. We had some good conversations and did some nice singing. I will definitly come back and book again with Patrick, maybe next year :)

Awesome service, great organization and very kind and knowledgeable guide
We had a truly amazing 5 day safari experience with Meru slopes. Everything was perfectly organized and our contact person Kelvin was very responsive and helpful in any matter.
The service offered by Meru slopes was excellent and the accommodations they selected were top notch with friendly, caring and helpful staff.
Our tour guide Douglas was the full package. He was a very good driver, excellent animal spotter and very nice to talk to. He can tell you everything about Tanzanian culture and animals and managed to spot us the big five.
All in all, we can very much recommend Meru slopes!

4 amazing days of safaris with Albert from Jocky Tours
We had a company of 3 ladies and, of course, we were looking for a reliable guide for a safari trip to Kenya. Our driver and guide Albert was excellent - friendly, patiently answered all of our sometimes probably strange questions, and was very careful on the busy roads of Kenya. But I especially want to highlight that he tried to find us the best places of view during the safari, was in touch with other drivers and quickly took us to where the animals were spotted. In a day and a half, we saw essentially all the animals we could meet on safari. Thanks, Albert, and best wishes!

it was the worst trip we have ever had in our lives
It was the worst experience I have ever had in my life. I booked the safari at last minute but we had already done a program 1 month ago. 2 days before the safari the called me and they told me that they didn't count the concession fees and the price had to be more. I told them that this is not my problem and suddently they didn't answer my emails and phone. The evening before we arrived in Arusha they sent me a message that they will be waiting for me at the airport. Then we went to Mr Benson's office I showed the emails and the offer and after 2-3 hours they told me that we are ok. So I lost 3-4 hours from the evening safari they supposed they gave us. On the way to our hotel they sent me a program with minus 1 day and they told me this is a program. I sent them back the program I have showed them previous at the office and told me that this is not ok. After 30-40 what's up messages and email they told me again ok. The safari in Serengeti for 2 days was good. After we have planned to move to Maasai Mara region and another driver took us from there. The drive supposed to be there from the morning and I paid 250$ more to be there and he came after 3 hours. They asked me for yellow card visa to pay 200$ as the other offices told me that the cost was 80$ for all of us and the driver told us that the officers wanted and tips. The transfer to Maasai Mara supposed to be 35' and took us 3 hours so the park was closed. The driver asked us to give tomorrow 200$ more to bring us to Maasai Mara park and when I told that I have paid for 4 days safari and I have only done 2 he told me that this is not his problem and he couldn't take us to the park in the morning. Yvlyn the girl from the office told him to bring us to the park and he did it but again with a lot of messages and calls and I terrible headache for me from this bad situation. The following day after 1.5h safari to Maasai Mara they had to transfer as at Nairobi and Giraffe manor. The driver stopped every 50km and talked with people on the road and he told us that it's like that in his country. He knew that we wanted to be early to our hotel and suddenly he told us that his car has a problem and he had to transfer us to another car. I asked him if the car is ready and he told us yes. We went to a place 150km away from Nairobi and the car was not there. The driver got down of the car and we were trying to find him. after 20' he answered the phone and he told us that the car that was ready changed the tires. He took us in one place that was inappropriate for my family as I have 2 kids and we waited for the another driver to change the tires for more that 1.30. Finally we started the way to Giraffe manor and because he did some mistakes as he didn't know how to get there we went to our hotel at 16.00 in the evening. We started from Maasai Mara at 09.30 and the distance is only 4 hours. So I totally didn't recommend Benson's Safari as it was the worst trip we have ever had in our lives and thanks god that we are all back safe after all this terrible situation.

Superb performance in her work
The trip was planned and well organized by Isabella, who took us through all the requirements and had a very lovely and enjoyable experience out there courtesy of her and the company. It was at Amboseli Park and all the experience was superb.
