Fantastic safari thanks to Geofrey, Benson and Matthew!
Where do I begin describing the amazing 3 day safari I had with Meru Slopes Tours & Safaris? I feel I lack the words to describe what a great time we had.
We where short on time and could only do the 3 day safari through Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater, but thanks to guide Benson's knowledge of the parks, we where able to see all of the Big 5 in such a short time. It's amazing to see how Bensons takes you to all the wild sightings in the park, he seems to have a "wild animal magnet" to him :-) It's like the animals are coming to him instead of the other way around :-)
Cook Matthew provided very taste meals. He often amazed us with his fine cuisine skills, providing delicious soups, salads, quiches, home made fries and pizzas, cooked brown rice, succulent chicken and meat, plenty of healthy vegetables and sweet fruits. Matthew made sure everyone's stomachs where filled, ready for the next safari adventure.
Before booking, we had been in touch with Geofrey for months. Whatever crazy time of the day (or night) we sent Geofrey a question, Geofrey answered quickly and took away all our concerns.
To sum it all up, if you're looking to enjoy an Tanzanian safari on a budget, don't hesitate to book with Meru Slopes and ask for Benson and Matthew and you will definitely have a great time.

An unforgettable safari with breath taking impressions
This was such a great adventure! We enjoyed it so much!
Our guide was the best guide you can imagine. So friendly
He informed us about the entire trip and gave us so much information about all the animals we would see. And we saw them all.
We saw a female lion with three babies, leopards on a tree, lions chilling on a rock, lions which attacked waterbucks, a lion killing a gnu, elephants, giraffes, hyanes, impalas with a baby not older then a few hours and so much more. We even saw a rhinocerus family, which is so hard to find, because there are only 29 of them in caldera of Ngorongoro. Every time we wanted a stop he stopped and told us more about wildlife. He always asked us if we want to stop or if we want to go ahead.
He was so sensible and did everything to make us happy. His knowledge of the flora and fauna is extremely good. If we ever can make a safari again (and I think we will) I would only make it with MangiEmpire Adventures.
Thank you Nova for the unforgetable 4
Days in Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro!!
(My english is not so good, sorry for the mistakes, but I hope the message is clear! There is nothing better than a safari with MangiEmpire Adventures!)

Amazing cultural Tanzania experience, simply couldn't be any better!
We are 3 people from the Netherlands whom booked a cultural experience through Lilian from Zohar African Safaris. What we were looking for, was an authentic cultural experience. Not a fake, staged performance but a real interaction with an authentic tribe. I have experience a number of other tribe interactions in other African countries before (9 in total) and I can honestly say this was the first time that I felt I visited a real tribe, living their authentic daily life and not performaning an act for us.
Before booking, Lilian was always available and she quickly and clearly answered all the questions we had. We booked our safari through another company and the tribe visit Lilian recommended was a little out of the way, but this was no issue for Lilian. She suggested some changes in our safari itinerary and this worked out very smoothly so we could easily add the tribe visit to our safari. I am very grateful to Lilian that she arranged this for us, it enriched our lives and really added to our stay in Tanzania.
The car used was very comfortable. It was a very spacious car, has good suspension on the uneven Tanzanian roads and the driver (Daniel) was very skilled - avoiding the potholes where possible and telling us interesting facts and stories about Tanzania and its people and traditions while he drove. Daniel comes highly recommended.
Zohar promises to offer a stress free holiday "built around you" and that is precisely what Lilian does - and more! She really goes the extra mile to make sure you're having the time of your life and that's why I can heartily recommend Zohar African Safaris to anyone looking to enjoy all that Tanzania has to offer. Don't hesitate, travel with Lilian and you'll be sure to have a great, relaxing, comfortable, stress free, authentic safari/holiday in Tanzania.

Incredibly well-organised, beautiful hotels, very friendly & knowledgeable guide & all animals seen
Communication went very smoothly, starting from our first contact with Chris, who responded very quickly to all our questions. Payment was easy (either by bank transfer or credit card). Chris even helped us organise a car and driver for the weekend in Nairobi prior to going on Safari. We didn't have to worry about a single detail from the minute we were picked up to the minute we were dropped off.
We had a really great time on safari and saw absolutely everything. Many cheetahs, lions, elephants, rhinos, buffalos, and even a leopard. Spotting lions, leopards, and cheetahs is apparently easier in February as they are more likely to be out searching for prey (as opposed to during the migration) and indeed we saw many, many of these animals. I recommend doing Lake Nakuru in addition to Masai Mara as we were able to see many Rhinos there, compared to Masai Mara where there are fewer.
The hotels we stayed in (Sarova chain) were very nice and there was a large selection of food at the buffet: African, Indian, Italian, etc. Both hotels had a pool so we could relax during our lunch break in between game drives.
Our driver was incredibly friendly and went out of his way to ensure that we got a good view of the animals. For example we followed a pack of cheetahs along several routes and they crossed the road in front of our car 4 times! I recommend taking the landcruiser as it enabled us to take muddier roads to explore more remote parts of the park and get closer to the game.
All in all an amazing experience and nothing to fault them for!

Asante sana!
Kilinge Adventures deserves more than 5 stars. I have returned from successfully trekking: the 7 days Machame Route with my 3 buddies. We booked with Kilinge Adventures because they were reasonably priced and also had very many positive accolades on TripAdvisor. Trekking with the Kilinge Adventures climbing crew under chief guide Rama and Thomas was an incredible experience. They led us carefully in a comfortable speed through the different camp teaching us about the mountain, perseverance, story of Tanzania and even bits of Swahili. I soon realized that every section of the trek took a lot of planning to ensure that we had everything that we needed at that particular time. I cannot forget to mention our porters who worked very hard. Those supplies and equipment bags were heavy and these guys hauled everything including the rubbish. Private the camp cook is another fine gentleman! Honestly his culinary skills are second to none and this trek would not have been the same without him. Kilimanjaro gets harder as you go higher, thank you Rama and Thomas for the motivation and support that pushed us to the summit. You guys rock!

Animal adventure
Great safari.
Communication was good from the start, with quick replies and clear answers.
The safari truck was great, I wouldn't want to do this without a pop-up roof as the height really helps spot the animals.
Our guide was always helpful and spoke perfect English. He made good suggestions and helped with our requests.
The Akagera National Park is a beautiful landscape with great views. We saw many animals including elephants and giraffes and hippos. Sadly we didn't see a rhino but they are very rare, and the leopards are very good at hiding.
The safari lodge was fantastic, newly refurbished with great showers and great views. A shame to leave so early but we had more elephants to find.

Super efficient, planned to the finest detail, no stone left unturned.
The communications from Rob Morley from the initial enquiry and subsequent booking, right up to departure date, and during the trip were incredible. Even down to the meet and greet at Jo'burg airport to ensure we got our ongoing flight to Szukuza safe and sound, the TravelKey App recommended to ensure we had our travel details all to hand, and everything from when we arrived at Szukuza airport until we departed again, worked like clockwork. Then the follow up when we were home to ensure there were no problems. A First Class service from Rob, and Tailormade Africa.
The Rhino Post Safari Lodge is a great place, with excellent staff and facilities. I would recommend this lodge to anyone.

Best tour experience so far!
My trip to Kenya was very well planned by Sino Africa Safari! I was recommended the company by a friend who just visited Kenya in 2019. Before the trip, the itinerary was communicated clearly to me and Li is very responsive. After I landed, I was warmly welcomed and taken very good care of. They provide careful service regarding my dietary restrictions and never asked for extra tips (as you would normally encounter in many developing countries)!
I went wildlife safari and also had a bit taste of the city life. It wasn't the Great Migration season but I still saw a great variety of animals thanks to the guide and the driver. They are on top of everything and seem to know the location of every animal! The travel to the sites are a bit long due to the poor infrastructure of the country but it was totally worth it! The conversations I had with my guide and driver are super interesting and I sort of forgot the time.
Will definitely come back again with Sino Africa Safari!

It is the most fanstics travelling experience I ever have, Sino Africa Safari is the best of all.
Sino Africa Safari is the best of all.
The communications are very smooth, the Safari driver speaks very flunent English, and he knows everything about the animals, not only the animals, but also the history of the Africa, the whole picture of the wild world. He also have a good sense of humor, all the way along chasing the wildbeasts, he gave all the stories with a sense of humor.
The service is also first class, the driver knows exactly every spot of where the animals hides and lives, we have the big fives the first day and even more and more in the following days, Sino Africa Safari always the first gets to the exact spot where the big fives are, and also the very time wildbeasts go across that river.
Accomadation is another surprise, luxury nature reverses provides the first clase living conditions, and the food, the service, the equipment including the shampoo, the body wash are with luxury brand, makes you feel the like a king.
Overall, Sino Africa Safari is the most reliable and capable travel agent among all the travels I've made, arrangement and service are all incredibly extraordinary.
