A fantastic experience, and excellent value for money
I have travelled to 66 countries, and this was one of my best experiences yet. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable, all the logistics were handled very professionally, and the value for money was exceptional. It is possible to do a great safari in Serengeti and Ngorongoro without spending a silly amount of money -- do it with Meru Slopes.
I was especially impressed with how they treated me as a solo traveller. In some other countries, I have had bad experiences -- sometimes I've been dumped off from one group to another every day, doing some parts of the tour itinerary twice and missing other parts entirely. One time in Peru, I spend an entire day of a 5-day tour sitting in the tour company's office because they had no group to put me in. This will NOT happen to you with Meru Slopes. They treat everyone as a valued customer. On my tour, everyone except me was a Spanish speaker; the guide explained everything in just as much detail in English for me, as he did for everyone else in Spanish -- he didn't give me a lower level of service because I was travelling alone. On the last day, I did transfer in to a different group because I was doing a 6-day tour while the others were doing a 5-day tour. The transfer was handled very efficiently, and the second guide was also excellent.
I met another solo traveller who also had a great experience with MeruSlopes. He made a mistake, and arrived in Arusha one day too late for his tour. So he expected to miss out on seeing Tarangire National Park. But on the first day of our tour (after his tour had finished), the owner of Meru Slopes transferred him in to our group so he could see Tarangire. So even though it was the customer's mistake, Geofrey still went out of his way to give that customer the full experience.

Funny guy you can trust by his kindness and his humble nature
I am very satisfied with the service. Our drivers were always reliable. We have seen the Big 5 through our driver because he didn‘t want to give up, I was amazed at his knowledge around the Kruger National Park and the animals. The general service with Mbombela Experience Tours & Transfers around the 4 weeks was very good, also the price-performance ratio I find reasonable. The tours around the townships, the different places, the Panorama Tour and the trip to the Kruger National Park were always fun and exciting with our guides and drivers.

"The Perfect Combination: A Funny, Smart, and Reliable Guy"
I thoroughly enjoyed my time with Mbombela Experience Tours & Transfers. I always felt safe, and all the staff members were consistently friendly. It's evident that experienced people are working there. During the safari, I learned a lot; our tour guide, Mylord, knew a great deal of facts. Thanks to him, we saw rare animals, including the Big 5! The food was delicious, and you could tell that everyone put in a lot of effort. During our absence, there was a supervisor at the campsite. He constantly watched over our belongings and frequently asked about our well-being... very attentive! Regarding the service, we were picked up and consistently informed about everything, etc. I couldn't imagine a better service! All in all, I would like to recommend Mbombela Experience Tours & Transfers to everyone. Not only because of the good value for money but also because of the people and the service.

Great
We had a wonderful experience at our safari tour. Norton was a great guide with a big knowledge about the animals and he did everything to make this experience unique. Sule is an amazing chef who cooked very tasty meals everyday and made us feel like home.
We were also very happy with the tour operator. Mohamed adjusted the itinerary according to our requests. We also liked it that you only pay 100$ in advance and the rest of it as soon as you meet Mohamed.
Although the prices for safari seem to be very high, the operator is providing a very reasonable price. If you do your maths (entrance fees per person and car, accommodation, car + fuel, salary for guide and chef) you will find out that the price is very fair.
It was an unforgettable experience!

Fantastic experience
This was quick and easy to book. Immediate response with advice about the best experience for my group. We were short on time due to being in the country for work but the company suggested the best option and actually discouraged us from more expensive options that wouldn’t be very good value for money. We were picked up from the hotel and they waited all day to bring us back. The park was amazing with a really knowledgeable guide. We have Elephants, giraffe and a cheetah in touching distance! Lunch was good and overall it was just amazing value for money

I had an amazing experience with that company!
Great thanks to Esther who helped to solve all organizational things and was always very opened to help.
And I’m very thankful to the driver Duncan! He is very polite, knows everything about safari and animals there! That was a pleasure to travel with him. I highly recommend Leisure Escapes Safaris. Thank you very much for the unforgettable memories

Good trip
Nice trip, but tell the driver in the park to don't focus only in the famous big 5. For european, even a small coloured bird, strange rat , zebra, antelope, is amazing!

So helpful and professional!!
We decided to go to Botswana to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary. We were hesitant to use an online agent, but our fears were quickly eliminated! Chloe put together the most perfect trip for us! She listened to what we wanted, unlike travel agents we interacted with in the states, and made those dreams come true! We had multiple transfers between camps, and they all went off seamlessly. The trip itself was beyond our expectations. Botswana is the most magical place! If you’re thinking about going, do it!!
