We loved everything about our stay
We had a 4 days and 3 nights safari with Bogosik and his crew: everything was perfect from the beginning till the end.
It's not a "deluxe" safari, but it wasn't what we were looking (and paid) for!
The food was great, the guides were perfect, we had great time with them.... And nature was generous with us! Expecially in Savuti.
Absolutely recommended

Amazing experience!
Anna and her family are the most welcoming hosts ever. Anna is extremely helpful and always available to answer questions. She truly went above and beyond to ensure I had an unforgettable trip, even checking in on me after the safari to make sure everything was okay.
Anna’s daughters are also very friendly and made me feel like part of the family. They showed me around the city on the day of my arrival and helped me to get a local SIM card.
The safari was an amazing experience, and I couldn’t have chosen a better tour operator. Thank you, Anna and the team, for helping me to have the most memorable birthday of my life. ❤️

Superb
I had an amazing experience with Kisangara on the safari* .
The 4-day duration was just perfect, and we covered all the main parks, even getting to see the Big 5 animals. Suricata did a great job arranging our accommodations, and the locals were incredibly friendly. Our guide Tumaini was truly exceptional and incredibly knowledgeable about the animals. I would definitely recommend this as the trip of a lifetime! Big thanks to Tumaini, and hopefully, we can meet again in a couple of years.

Wonderful wildlife, sunrises, sunsets, lodges, diverse landscapes, highly recommend visiting.
Stayed in Kambaku Safari Lodge, Timbavati Private Game Reserve then Arathusa in the Sabi Sands, spending 3 nights in each resulting in 6 game drives at both reserves. Lots of wildlife viewing, excellent guides, staff, food and accommodation at both lodges. Highly recommend both lodges. Panoramic route from Sabi Sands to Oliver’s Hill was also excellent.
We then went to Muchenje Safari Lodge, Botswana.
Our trip was organised by Michelle from Explore & Travel Africa who was very good with advice on all aspects of our trip and everything was well organised.

A once in a lifetime experience, worth all the long distance travel and cost.
Our booking agent did a tremendous and professional job. Everything went according to the plan. Drivers were waiting for us at all destination, our guide, Wilson, was extraordinary, knowledgeable, experienced, accommodating and overall a very pleasant individual. The suggested camps and hotel suggested by our booking agent were as promised, comfortable, secure with an exemplary staff. Tanzanian are overall a very welcoming nation, whether they were in the hotel and restaurants or on the street. People smiled and greeted us everywhere warmly. The safari went smoothly in spite of the safari trail that were providing an African massage!! Lions, elephants, and all manners of birds and mammals, close encounters even, that made a memorable trip.
We went to Zanzibar after the safari. That too was extremely interesting and after all the trailblazing, a welcome rest. Go to Tanzania, it's a great experience.

So incredibly amazing
I did not expect to see so many animals. I thought we would have to drive for an hour or 2 to find some animals but they were everywhere. I can’t describe how amazing it was. Loved every second

Review about Timbavati Private Nature Reserve by Barb
Stayed at Kambaku Safari Lodge. Enjoyed all aspects of the lodge, excellent guide and tracker. Lovely accommodation, food and staff. Great wildlife viewing. Our last morning we spent about 20 minutes watching a pride of lions with 3 small cubs being playful, was a wonderful sighting.

Fantastic company!!!
Meru Slopes provided my husband and me with an unforgettable safari experience in Tanzania! From the start, their pre-trip communication was timely, detailed, and put us at ease (thank you, Jerome!). Our guide, Kunda, was exceptional—his deep knowledge of animal behavior and his insider insights truly elevated our adventure. He was not only an experienced and safe driver but also a wonderful human being who made our trip extra special. Thanks to Kunda, we saw every animal on our list and more. Delicious food and wonderful accommodations! We couldn't have asked for a better experience and highly recommend Meru Slopes to anyone looking for an incredible safari!

Amazing 10 day Private Safari with Easy Travel Tanzania
We took a 10-day luxury private tour with Easy Travel Tanzania, and it was incredible. Julieth in the main office was very helpful and made planning everything go smoothly. Our lodging started with the Gran Melia hotel in Arusha, then tent camping at Oliver's Camp in Tarangire, cabin lodging at Soroi Serengeti, more traditional luxury lodge at Melia Ngorongoro and lovely cabins at Retreat at Ngorongoro and all of them were outstanding choices. Finally, and most important of all, our driver/guide was Wilfred Fue, and he befriended us and informed us through an awesome 10 days where we saw almost too many lions, elephants, giraffes, hippos, hyenas, birds, gazelles, wildebeests etc. We saw cheetah chase and kill a baby gazelle, saw a black rhino with her baby, and had elephants walk within an arm’s length of our open windows (but don't touch). The night game drive at Oliver's was exhilarating to say the least with a male lion walking right by our open sided vehicle. I recommend resolving the following questions to increase your odds of a good safari experience: (1)decide if you want to see the Great Migration or just see lots of discrete herds or smaller groups of animals up close; (2)decide if you want to be in tents really "close to nature" - which means live animals walking by your tent at night - something that can be quite scary for some or instead be in more protected lodges and hotels; (3)decide how much luxury you need and can afford - remember it is Africa; (4)realize that driving around is VERY rough and difficult and time consuming; (5)follow the advice of Easy Travel in what to bring and in all instances do as instructed by the guide and the staff at the various lodges and camps. If they say "call to be escorted to dinner or the main lodge after dark" then by all means do so. We had a pride of lions, a pack of hyenas, a leopard, a cape buffalo, and an elephant all walk through the main part of different camp lodgings on different days while we were there. It would be bad to encounter those at night alone. We cancelled the walking safari to Empakaai Crater for our 8th day because we were tired and instead, we took a day to just sleep in and relax at Melia Ngorongoro with its heated pool, spa massage, and extensive fitness centre and it was great - might be something to consider as it can be tiring to be on the go so hard for ten days straight. Would not change anything in the world that we did. We cannot thank Julieth and Wilfred for our unforgettable experience and for adjusting things as we went along.
