Amazing trip
Our safari tour guide, amani was professional with extensive knowledge about animals habits and the nature. He tried best to get us the big 5, ugly 5 and some other animals. We even saw action time of lion, which was awesome.
We also want to give credits to peter , who guided us around in Kilimanjaro areas we got experience to waterfall and coffee tour in Moshi, which was special and exciting!
Last but not least, thank for every staff who provide assistance during our trip in Tanzania! We would love to recommend to go with wipasafaris to our friends!

6days toue
Thanks for wipa safaris tour company and arrange our amazing trip to Africa Tanzania,
We couple from this USA, had a very enjoyable time on this multi-location safari and highly recommend it to others looking for a bucket-list experience.
blessed to have Jackson as our driver/guide; his experience, knowledge, driving skills (yep, the roads were challenging!), and keen eyes to point our wildlife were invaluable. Muro's professional abilities were exceeded by his obvious genuine personal concern for us as not only paying tourists but also as people who enjoy taking the time to get know & respect each other in a matter of a short few days. Muro knew so much about the animals, there was no question that he could not answer! We felt like were saying goodbye to a good friend when we left! The entire experience was perfect and professional. Peter was great to work with in booking and finalizing details. It was nice to get a face with the name when he came by to personally send us off on the first day of our tour.
We added a day in the front end at Tulia lodge which was great to give us a rest day after a long day of flying from Johannesburg through Nairobi. The itinerary was amazing, the pace was perfect, and we saw so much. Thanks to Muro's keen eye we saw over 40 animals and birds. We did Materuni Falls on the first day. We enjoyed the views but note that the description says a short hike. It is actually one hour in and one hour out over slippery rocks and uneven trails. It would be very easy to slip/fall or sprain an ankle. The lunch was good, and the coffee part of the tour was enjoyable.
The accommodations were great - we loved Tulia, Under the Shade and Octagon Lodge which were excellent and very magical. A minor detail, we would go with something else instead of the Shuhadia Tented Camp in Serengeti (felt safe and rooms were nice but drinks were very expensive, and we were charged for laundry that we did not ask to be done). We were considering going for the luxury lodge experience but were glad we did not because you really are not at the lodges all that long before you go to sleep, and they are all the same when sleeping! You will not be disappointed in going with Wipa safari . Everyone is so friendly, and they truly are committed to delivering a top-notch experience. We will recommend to our friends for a worry-free trip!eli

7days safaris(serengeti,ngorongoro,Tarangaire)midrange was amazing
It was the experience of a lifetime. Wipa safaris helped organize our tour and provided clear details of the program and getting transportation and accommodation setup. My tour guide was malia who was a very smart, kind, and hard working guide. He knew exactly where to find all the animals and we saw lions, cheetahs, rhinos, elephants, zebras and many more. We saw lions with a fresh zebra dinner after his hunt. Jakob was also an extremely good driver able to navigate through all the tough terrain, even going through areas other tour guides didn’t want to so we could see the best animals. We saw cheetahs when no one else could because of the rain due to Jakobs highly skilled driving. And most importantly, Malia had a great personality keeping our group smiling along the way. We also had a chef that toured with us and made us breakfast, lunch, dinner and helped setup our camp sites. Salim made delicious meals fresh meals that tasted so good and always filled us up. He was also very friendly and the way he served the meals made the experience feel very authentic and homey. If you’re looking for an amazing affordable safari experience and comfortable with private lodge accommodation , I highly recommend Meru Slopes. I’ll definitely be coming back. Hakuna Matata!

Excellent service. Attention to details.
I always wanted to go to a safari, and I knew it was going to be good. But I never thought it was going to be so awesome. Benson (our guide) went above and beyond to make sure we were able to see as much as we could during our time. He stopped for anything that we asked for, he knew the place and the animals like the palm of his hand. Always explaining the plan and what to expect. Also unexpected: The food was so delicious!!.

Safari in Africa
We can highly recommend wipa SafarisTours. We booked a 10 day private lodge Safari to Tarangire, Serengenti and Ngorongoro National Park and Kenya and the tour exceeded our expectations in all regards. Our tour guide Benson in particular contributed to this great experience. He is highly educated, motivated and flexible. Benson made it possible for us to see all animals we wanted to see: Lions, cheetahs, elephants, leopards, giraffes, zebras, hippos, rhinos, monkeys etc. We could also see these animals all up close. The selected accommodations were also beautiful. The tour car was in great condition. We learned so much about the national parks, the local people, culture and country. Thank you very much!
