Excellent, can’t wait to go again.
hajji was delight to have as our guide. He collected us from the airport and had cold drinks ready and the exact itinerary planned out, as agreed.
All taken of and knew I was in safe hands with my 8 year old son.
We went to 3 different parks over 3 days which were Brilliant especially day 2, where we travelled to the xxxxx crater, which was amazing experience seeing all the animals with my young son. Magical memories with my son will be unforgettable.
Be back again soon and will definitely use Hajji again. Thanks Hajji for creating beautiful memories for me and my son.
Best regards.

Excellent value tour company
Our family of five just came back from a five day/four night safari tour of the Serengeti and Ndutu/Ngorongoro at the end of December 2023.
They were by far the cheapest quote received from Safari Bookings back in August. But, we were convinced to book with them based on their overwhelmingly positive reviews.
Communication was easy via WhatsApp from the time of booking. Our accommodations changed at the last minute, as did our onward flight to Zanzibar the day before we were set to fly. But, we ran with it as a quick google search revealed positive reviews of the new accomodations and flights.
During the trip itself, everything ran fairly smoothly. Theirs was not the fanciest of 4x4s compared to what you saw on the road but it was a comfortable ride, and it got the job done. Special thanks to our guide Libe! He was informative, accommodating and a great tracker. Plus, we got to see the Big5! It was a memorable experience for us all.
We were satisfied with our booking and highly recommend.

Fantastic
From start to finish our trip to Rwanda was outstanding. Wolf who hosted us in Rwanda were brilliant. Loved every minute of a true adventure.

In search of desert wildlife.
Our trip was well organized by Allison. All our lodge stays met our expectations. We Kebi Lodge in particular. The dunes and the wild oryx at Sussuvlei were very different. Driving to Swakopmund is tiring , as is the drive to Damaraland. Kayaking with sea lions in Walvis Bay near Swakopmund was a highlight. The game watching around and in Etosha National Park was wonderful. This is not the Serengeti, so you have to work at viewing the animals.
Our 4x4 Jimney ran trouble free the whole journey.
It was a great adventure and I highly recommend Great Explorations to anyone going to Namibia.

Superb performance in her work
The trip was planned and well organized by Isabella, who took us through all the requirements and had a very lovely and enjoyable experience out there courtesy of her and the company. It was at Amboseli Park and all the experience was superb.

it was the worst trip we have ever had in our lives
It was the worst experience I have ever had in my life. I booked the safari at last minute but we had already done a program 1 month ago. 2 days before the safari the called me and they told me that they didn't count the concession fees and the price had to be more. I told them that this is not my problem and suddently they didn't answer my emails and phone. The evening before we arrived in Arusha they sent me a message that they will be waiting for me at the airport. Then we went to Mr Benson's office I showed the emails and the offer and after 2-3 hours they told me that we are ok. So I lost 3-4 hours from the evening safari they supposed they gave us. On the way to our hotel they sent me a program with minus 1 day and they told me this is a program. I sent them back the program I have showed them previous at the office and told me that this is not ok. After 30-40 what's up messages and email they told me again ok. The safari in Serengeti for 2 days was good. After we have planned to move to Maasai Mara region and another driver took us from there. The drive supposed to be there from the morning and I paid 250$ more to be there and he came after 3 hours. They asked me for yellow card visa to pay 200$ as the other offices told me that the cost was 80$ for all of us and the driver told us that the officers wanted and tips. The transfer to Maasai Mara supposed to be 35' and took us 3 hours so the park was closed. The driver asked us to give tomorrow 200$ more to bring us to Maasai Mara park and when I told that I have paid for 4 days safari and I have only done 2 he told me that this is not his problem and he couldn't take us to the park in the morning. Yvlyn the girl from the office told him to bring us to the park and he did it but again with a lot of messages and calls and I terrible headache for me from this bad situation. The following day after 1.5h safari to Maasai Mara they had to transfer as at Nairobi and Giraffe manor. The driver stopped every 50km and talked with people on the road and he told us that it's like that in his country. He knew that we wanted to be early to our hotel and suddenly he told us that his car has a problem and he had to transfer us to another car. I asked him if the car is ready and he told us yes. We went to a place 150km away from Nairobi and the car was not there. The driver got down of the car and we were trying to find him. after 20' he answered the phone and he told us that the car that was ready changed the tires. He took us in one place that was inappropriate for my family as I have 2 kids and we waited for the another driver to change the tires for more that 1.30. Finally we started the way to Giraffe manor and because he did some mistakes as he didn't know how to get there we went to our hotel at 16.00 in the evening. We started from Maasai Mara at 09.30 and the distance is only 4 hours. So I totally didn't recommend Benson's Safari as it was the worst trip we have ever had in our lives and thanks god that we are all back safe after all this terrible situation.

4 amazing days of safaris with Albert from Jocky Tours
We had a company of 3 ladies and, of course, we were looking for a reliable guide for a safari trip to Kenya. Our driver and guide Albert was excellent - friendly, patiently answered all of our sometimes probably strange questions, and was very careful on the busy roads of Kenya. But I especially want to highlight that he tried to find us the best places of view during the safari, was in touch with other drivers and quickly took us to where the animals were spotted. In a day and a half, we saw essentially all the animals we could meet on safari. Thanks, Albert, and best wishes!

Awesome service, great organization and very kind and knowledgeable guide
We had a truly amazing 5 day safari experience with Meru slopes. Everything was perfectly organized and our contact person Kelvin was very responsive and helpful in any matter.
The service offered by Meru slopes was excellent and the accommodations they selected were top notch with friendly, caring and helpful staff.
Our tour guide Douglas was the full package. He was a very good driver, excellent animal spotter and very nice to talk to. He can tell you everything about Tanzanian culture and animals and managed to spot us the big five.
All in all, we can very much recommend Meru slopes!
