Our dream holiday
We had a wonderful Safari with Brilliant in our recent honeymoon in Tanzania.
As many travellers already experienced, the communication with both Julieth and Lightness was excellent from the beginning and it was quite easy to plan the safari.
Once we arrived in Kilimanjaro airport, we were picked up by our guide Boni and everything was perfectly organised by Brilliant so that we didn’t have to worry about anything else for the next 6 days.
We really enjoyed all the accommodations we carefully selected, the food was very good and the service was very exclusive, enjoying very much all the game drives and picnics!
Special thanks to Boni who made us feel like home, he was very flexible and helpful, always trying to make our days memorable (driving us around, taking great pictures...). We definitely experienced magic moments in Africa!
Overall, the whole experience exceeded our expectations, from the beauty of the landscapes to the kindness of the people and the great service we received from Brilliant.
We will always keep this travel experience in our hearts and we will remember Brilliant when we grab a cofee to go (many thanks for the gift).
We would hopefully come back in a few years time with our children and enjoy a great Family Safari Adventure!

Incredible 5 Day Safari with Meru Slopes
We booked a 5 day safari with Meru slopes tours & safaris with a group of friends. From the day we booked until our arrival we were in contact with Almachius Audax, who was very friendly and helpful. During our tour, we were accompanied by our Guide Florian and our Chef Saribu. Both of them were well experienced and created an unforgettable experience, which exceeded our expectations by far. We would all recommend Meru Slopes Tours & Safaris.

Unforgettable Safari Adventure with Meru Slopes
We booked the tour in October, and the communication was smooth and prompt. The organizer arranged a transfer from Arusha Airport and a night's stay in Arusha, both of which went seamlessly. The entire coordination was overseen by Manager Almatchius, providing a reliable point of contact for organizational queries.
The 5-day safari across Tarangire National Park, Serengeti National Park, and Ngorongoro Crater was a truly unique experience. Our guide, Florian, proved to be experienced, professional, and adept at answering all our questions. The camps were distinctive, and with a chef accompanying us throughout, we enjoyed consistently delicious meals.
I highly recommend a tour with Meru Slopes; it will undoubtedly be an unforgettable experience for me.

Great crew great climb
I am very happy with the service provided by Almighty Kilimanjaro.
Our lead guide Jackson and entire crew were excellent, the food was great and the rental gear was of good quality. I couldn’t ask for anything more. They kept us safe, happy and healthy through the entire climb, and thanks to them our entire group summited without issue.
Price was reasonable and they took good care of us before and after the climb as well.

Very enthusiastic and knowledgeable
We booked a Safari with Africa Moja Tours for a 2 days 1 night and everything was smooth from the planning to the BiG 5 encounter. Highly recommended! The tour guide was very knowledgeable and patient with us. Definitely worth the money! Can’t wait to book my next tour.
So glad we booked with Lion King Adventures!
My husband and I booked an 8 day safari with Lion King Adventures. From the very first inquiry online to dropping us off at the airport to leave, they were absolutely fantastic. Very communicative and accommodating. Upon arrival in Tanzania we are welcomed by our AMAZING guide, Ozzy. We got a rundown of our agenda and the jeep and he had cold waters waiting for us. We were very comfortable for the entirety of the trip, even when we were spending 8+ hours in the Jeep. There is a cooler in the back of the Jeep that is always stocked with bottled water and soda.
The entire experience was a well oiled machine, from the meals to accommodations to excursions. It was flawless. They know what they're doing and they do it well.
Although it is not guaranteed to see animals, we saw everything we wanted and more. There are quite a few tour companies out on the game drives at the same time and they have a radio they communicate on, so if someone sees an animal they'll let everyone else know. With that being said, we never felt crowded or like there were too many jeeps around blocking our view. Ozzy was very determined to give us the best experience possible. It was very evident that he takes his job very seriously. I can imagine his job can be redundant but we never once felt he was just "going through the motions" and he understands that this is truly a one in a lifetime trip for us and wanted to make sure we enjoyed ourselves. My husband was determined to see a kill and we saw a cheetah hunting, Ozzy followed her (at a reasonable and ethical distance of course) for literally 5 hours waiting for this cheetah to catch her meal. She never did catch anything (remember, nothing is guaranteed) but it was nice that Ozzy tried his best for hours to see what my husband wanted to see. He was incredibly knowledgeable...he had an answer for every q we asked. I learned so much! There was a gred + balance of informing us about the animals, small talk, comfortable silence and laughs I can't say enough good things about Ozzy, he was incredible. The first day my stomach was hurting and I bought a ginger soda. Every day thereafter there was a ginger soda in the cooler for me. He even gave me one as we were leaving to the airport, how thoughtful is that?!
Our accomodations were all great, everyone was super welcoming and accommodating. I would recommend doing research on the different accommodations because there are multiple options from budget to luxury. We had our 3 meals a day and unlimited water as promised, and there was never a shortage of food. I am a vegetarian and always had plenty to eat.
Things to note:
It's HOT during the day, but cools down at night. We visited in December. Even though it was only in the 80s, it felt much hotter. There is no AC in the Jeep, but you can roll your windows down and the top is usually down. You get airflow, but it's warm airflow. I actually got pretty dehydrated one of the days. I kept a wet washcloth in a baggie in the cooler to put on my neck/ face to cool down.
There's a lot of driving involved, the game drives themselves, and then driving from location to location. We very much enjoyed seeing different parts of Tanzania and going to different parks, and we're so glad we didn't stay in one place, however if you get car sick I would recommend bringing Dramamine.
Time will fly by. Try to enjoy every moment of your amazing safari trip because this is truly a once in a lifetime experience, and because of that you want ensure you choose the right company to book + would highly recommend Lion King Adventures exact reason. In my opinion, the tour company you book with, and your guide, can make or break your experience. Thankfully we chose Lion King Adventures and had an incredible experience.
