MERU SLOPES is the best!
We enjoyed our 6 day Safari from the beginning to end. I researched several Safari companies and had extensive communications with my top three and I am so glad that I chose MERU SLOPES. They exceeded my expectations. They are a well run professional Safari company that I would highly recommend. They provided top notch 5* accommodations in all three lodges/hotels that we stayed at and we truly felt like we were treated like VIPs by them and the resorts that we stayed at. For what we paid, I would say it was very reasonable. Coming from the US it was overwhelming planning the trip but Meru helped us tremendously including getting our local flights from Zanzibar to Arusha to Kilimanjaro.
ABOUT THE SAFARI
We visited Tarangire National Park, Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater. One of our accommodations was a lodge in the Serengeti where the animals (lions, leopards etc.) roam freely and can literally be on your doorstep. We were never afraid; we heard so many animals at night some of which were outside our bedroom. What an experience! It is difficult to put into words. Our accommodation at Ngorongoro Crater was at the top of the crater with the most gorgeous view I have ever seen in my life! Spectacular! Again we were treated like royalty and had the best cuisine and massages that were ideal after a long game drive. Our driver was also excellent and a very careful driver.
We saw 4 of the big 5 and thanks to Meru we witnessed the Wildebeest migration AND them crossing the Mara River into Kenya. This is HUGE as people camp out for days and never get to see this.
Thanks to Meru we also met the Maasai tribe at their village and interacted with them including dancing with them which I loved. Again, once in a lifetime opportunity.
This company prides itself on providing the highest standards and safety and made my dream come true and for that I am truly grateful.

Good value for money
I had a very good experience. The camp was nice food was good. I liked the guide James, he made a lot off efforts so we could see all the animals. Also to go to nakuru, which was great. I would recommend the tour to very one.

One of the best safari experience in over 35 years of traveling through east and Southern Africa
Very knowledgeable, considerate and relaxed person to travel with; We felt like we had all the time we wanted to sit and watch the games…time to enjoy the beauty and tranquility of the wilderness.

Best safari ever !!!!
When we were looking for a safari on internet, we were looking for a low-cost safari and we came across axis. And the result? Incredible! The quality/price is unbeatable,
Our guide Isaac brings you close to the animals, thanks to him we could see the big five and realized one of our dreams. Isaac adapts to your needs and desires, he is very smiling and helpful.
The car is very comfortable and adapted for this kind of excursions. The organization of the safari is perfect.
To all the people who hesitate, choose Axis Safaris, you will not be disappointed.
Thanks again to Isaac and Lennox for the organization.

Everything went super smooth and all accommodations were nice
We had an absolute blast with this Safari, everything was well organised, we took Confort level accommodation and it was really great.
I really liked how responsive the team was and that you can design your tour as you want it.
We are very happy with our guide driver, Fredrick, he went over and beyond the entire time !
We saw all the animals we wanted, we're super happy !

Awesome experience
I contacted Brian through a Facebook post he put up about the Great Migration and he informed me that his company could organise a trip for me. I've lived in Africa and I am also a photographer so I had some specific news and expectations. I was also having to balance a tight budget so that needed to be taken into account. Brian and his colleague Festus in Nairobi put together a programme of 6 1/2 days in the Masai Mara. I had my own vehicle/driver/guide so I could determine how long I wished to stay at a certain site or move on. This gave me the advantage of seeing other interactions which other would have missed including jackels and vultures coming in to finish off a Lion kill and hyena and jackels interacting at a kill. We did also get to see the wildebeest and zebras crossing the Mara though unfortunately the river was too low for Crocodiles. Overall a great experience and both Brian and Festus kept in contact throughout the week to check everything was running smoothly. I stayed just outside the park gate which meant easy access. The tented camp was comfortable and met my needs and my budget. Overall highly recommended.

Benson was an amazing, personable and knowledgeable guide for our Kenya safari!
We had the good luck of getting Benson as our guide for both of our safaris in Kenya! One was a shorter 2 day one before headed out to Tanzania. And then we got him for a much longer 6 day safari a little later on our vacation. He was an excellent driver, guide and companion on our trip. It's so important to have someone you get along with and enjoy on these drives because you're in the car a lot. We were just two travelers so it was nice to have someone to chat and joke around with.
He showed us so many amazing animals, guided us through insane terrains and taught us a lot along the way. He also set up our lunches en route and kept us laughing a lot during the trip. We were sad to say goodbye but hopefully will be returning again and will definitely be using him next time!

Wonderful, Isaac the best guide for this tour !
It was a very nice experience. We did another safari in south africa but they didn’t have same general culture than Isaac (our guide) this personne take car about you and he knows many things about his beautiful country. Safari is very complete, accomodations are well. For the Quality/Price I think Axis is the best. Thank you !

Axis has given me and my girlfriend the most incredible safari tour we could whish for
We booked with Axis Africa Expedition & Safaris from the on internet. They are an excellent communicator (super quick) and helped us tailor a Safari that suited our whishes at a great rate. The tour was very professionally organized.
Our tourguide Kevin was experienced, knowlegdable, enthousiastic, proud of Kenya and eager to let us experience the country he loves so much. Kevin has shown us around in Masai Mara, Lake Nakura and Lake Naivasha. Everywhere he was able to show us the best sites and we spotted the big-5 in '1,5 days AND we have seen the great migration.
After our 4-day safari, Lennox has helped me get my passport back (I lost it somewhere in a safari). He covered all expenses to get my passport to his office and organized a courier to our stay in Diani. I couldn't ask for a more realiable and better service, in one word "excepptionel"
Again thank you very much Lennox & Kevin. You guys have given us the best experience!
With regards,
Jonathan
