A charming place with lots to give and excellent guiding!
You really get the full safari experience in a solid kit. The communication with the staff was sound, the cooking was pretty good, but above all was the safari guiding. The guide was really professional and charming. All in all, highly reccommended

Not recommended
I do not recommend traveling with the Utopia Safari travel agency.
We traveled in a group, the guide's guidance was shallow and it didn't seem like the travelers paid much attention to him. Then they posted pictures of us in private moments. Unprofessional and disrespectful.

Going on safari with Meru Slopes felt less like booking a tour and more like joining a top-tier wild
Going on safari with Meru Slopes felt less like booking a tour and more like joining a top-tier wildlife dream team.
Nuru, our guide, has an eyesight that defies biology. While other jeeps drove past bushes thinking they were… well, bushes, Nuru casually pointed out animals that apparently lived in another dimension. Leopards? Lions? Rare birds? He spotted everything — and always positioned the vehicle perfectly so we had the kind of views people usually only get from documentaries. In the evenings he turned into a philosopher-storyteller hybrid, sharing wisdom and tales that made dinner feel like a campfire with an old friend.
Gideon, our chef, is a magician disguised as a cook. The man produced feasts — plural! — in the middle of the wilderness, under conditions that would make most kitchens cry. Every meal was generous, delicious, and different from the one before. And he served everything with a smile big enough to light up the savannah.
And then there was Herman, second guide, driver, and quite possibly the kindest person on Earth. He was endlessly polite, endlessly helpful, and genuinely caring. He gave us an unforgettable tour through Arusha, and when our flight suddenly got rescheduled, he didn’t hesitate for a second — he offered, on his own, to drive us to the airport in the middle of the night. Who does that? Legends do.
Meru Slopes was an experience shaped by people who love what they do — and it shows. If you want wildlife, wonder and the warmest company imaginable, go with them.

A Safari Worth Every Moment
We had a problem with our flight and ended up arriving in Arusha about six hours late. To be clear, this had nothing to do with Oldbeast Vacations it was entirely due to the airline. Because of the delay, we missed our first day of safari in Tarangire and went straight to Manyara Best View Lodge. This lodge is magnificent. We would definitely have stayed an extra day just to enjoy its facilities and the stunning view.
On the second and third days, we did the safari in the Serengeti. It was an incredible experience. We saw many animals and were lucky to be near a group of lions just as it started to rain. Watching how they behaved in that moment was fascinating.
The accommodations, both at Bush Tembo Camp and Ang’ata Ngorongoro Camp, were excellent, very comfortable, with delicious food right in the heart of the savannah.
On the last day, we visited the Ngorongoro Crater. It was a foggy and overcast day, which made the descent into the crater feel even more dramatic. Truly unforgettable.
We didn’t manage to spot the Rhinoceros or the Leopard from the Big Five, but that’s just how nature is sometimes.
By the way, the SG Premium Resort, which served as our base in Arusha, is also an excellent hotel.
One important tip: we highly recommend arriving in Arusha at least one day before your safari starts. The local airlines in Tanzania can be quite unreliable, and delays like ours are not uncommon. Better to be safe and start your adventure stress-free.

10/10 Experience
We entrusted Emmy with our honeymoon in Rwanda and he did not disappoint. It was not just his intimate knowledge of every aspect of the countries culture, heritage, and history but the true connection that was developed in just 4 days with him touring the windy roads of Kigali and Volcanoes National Park.
Emmy takes his work very seriously and is the consummate professional. With that said, every moment was shared with laughter, growth, and memories that will last forever. He knows when to allow a moment of silence or better yet when to ask a deeply thoughtful question to keep you engaged. His intuition on what the moment needs is second to none.
The tour he planned was logistical perfection and we will forever be grateful to call Rwanda a home away from home. Rwandans are truly some of the most beautiful people on this planet and we sincerely hope everyone gets the chance to see it through Emmy's eyes.

An Unforgettable Safari and the Perfect Proposal in Tanzania
Wooooow where do I even begin!!! This was the most serene experience myself and my fiancé have ever had. Wivi Agency were absolutely amazing in helping organize the entire trip. Not only did we come for an unforgettable safari, but it was also a special moment for me to propose to my fiancé. They helped with every single detail, including the setup of my dream proposal at Manyara Best View. I will never forget it!!!
Now the safari…
Absolutely magicalllllll. We arrived in Arusha and were greeted by Elias, who was an absolute gentleman from start to finish. He checked us in and explained the entire program for our 4-day safari (more than enough).
We were then greeted by our tour guide who, in all honesty, was beyond incredible. I’ve been on many trips, but I’ve never had any guide come close to the phenomenal Damian!! He was so much fun and truly made our trip even more special. Not only did he know every detail about the parks, wildlife, and landscapes, but thanks to him we managed to see the BIG FIVE!! Thank you, Damian, for being a rock star during this unforgettable journey. I would definitely request him again!!!
We are definitely coming back, and without a doubt, we will have Wivi Agency organize the entire journey. Worth every single penny!!!
Thank you for this once-in-a-lifetime experience!

Personal and Professional
Everything was perfect. They provided clear communication and any questions we had were answered promptly. The service of everyone involved was superb. We opted for a private tour and we had 3 people assisting my husband and I. We couldn't have asked for a better tour and we highly recommend Telba and Ruth and all of their team.
