Excellent quality for amazingly affordable price
Me and my wife went for a Safari in northern Tanzanian circuit as part of our honeymoon. We've never done it before, so we had a lot of questions and doubts regarding every single aspect of the trip. Eventually, we've chosen a 6 days shared budget Safari with Meru Slopes, and if I could do it again, I wouldn't change a thing.
We've contacted Meru few months before and they've made a good impression from the very beginning. Geofrey was responding very quickly and provided us with all the answers we needed. All the prices they gave us early on were exactly the same in the end. There was no additional fees or anything like that - one single price covered to and from airport transportation, accommodation before and after the trip and of course, the Safari itself. What is also important to add, is that no payment was required prior to arrival, so we felt really safe. Generally, when it comes to trustworthiness, Meru Slopes is a solid 10/10.
Now, for the trip. It was definitely one of the best things we've done in our life. Our guide left no questions unanswered, and he was able to predict the animals behavior and always catch the best spot for watching. He was also extremely dedicated to his job, so he was staying on the road as long as we wanted. When we were about to visit Ngorongoro, he suggested starting very early to see the rhinos before they hide from the people, and we were actually the first car to leave the camp.
Last but not least, food. We were not hungry for a single moment, each breakfast and dinner was a real feast. Lunchboxes that we received for the day were also decent and tasty. My wife, being a vegetarian, was handled professionally, not just with no-meat versions of regular stuff but with specially prepared dishes.
Overall, choosing Meru Slopes for our first Safari might've been one of the best choices we've ever made. I can recommend these guys wholeheartedly, without a single word of complain. And we will definitely use their services again in the future, next time in a different season.

Our tour guide Geoffrey was amazing and we had a really nice group.
The communication with Rose was really good. When waiting in the office there was just a little thing I didn't like. They told me before booking, that my three year old child won't have to pay anything. In the office then, they explained, that I would have to pay the entrance fee of the parts for her, if they'll as k for it. I mean at the end, no one asked me for the money, but if so, it would have been better to let know the people in advance.
Our tour guide was amazing. Geoffrey made this trip amazing. I can totally recommend him and would do a tour with him again. He took care that everybody is happy and told us so much stuff about the animals, the history and so on.
Hopefully I'll be able to do a tour like this again!!

Seamless, beautiful, and amazing experience through Tanzania!
Communication with E-Trip Africa was timely and informative on many accounts. David, our tour guide/drive, was exceptional. He has a great understanding of the region and also immense respect for the wildlife. He understands that we must not move the car or speak loudly while there is an active hunt - this is something we came to realize is not reflected in every guide. Still, David would help us get the best angle on a subject, point out where an animal was located or hiding, and what time is best to catch the wildlife through our lens and binoculars. This is the company to book through!
Very responsive during booking and very professional during the safari.
Our 8 day safari with Abu was fantastic. We cannot rave enough about our guide, Abu, who was skilled and professional. The administrative team was clear and responsive.

No Worries with this Safari Tour
Communications with EAS was always prompt, respectful and helpful. Online payment easy and we didn't have to pay 100% way ahead of time.
Our Driver/Tour Guide Elias was excellent-- his driving, communication and multi-language skills, and naturalist knowledge! He knew so much about the wildlife and even bird identification for my birder husband. He tailored our pace, breaks, lunch stops, etc. based on our desires, trying to provide the best experience for each of the 4 of us. When a closed border crossing or rain created some schedule delays (missed activities on a certain day), he adjusted and found ways to make sure that we got to still do all those activities on our itinerary before we left Uganda. He was attentive to stopping frequently for photos that we wanted, and was the first of many game drive vehicles to find a leopard. The Kazinga Channel cruise was one of the best "safari" experiences we ever had-- so close to so many elephants, hippos and other animals. Our gorilla-trek and chimpanzee-trek were highlights for sure, but the other wildlife-related activities and village visit were great. The lodgings selected were all superb. We were also happy to always have an ample supply of bottled water, and meals were all very good.
The only thing that I would have liked more would have been if the tour guide talked more about Uganda, like during our highway drives, about Uganda's history, current government, politics, religions, traditions & beliefs, cultures, lifestyles. He answered questions, but I prefer a Guide who disseminates as much information as possible to us USA tourists who arrive knowing nothing about Uganda or its people.

An unbelievable cultural experience, breathtaking vistas, and magnificent wildlife!
We loved our experience with Nature Connect Safaris Uganda! Our guide was Francis. He made us feel welcome and safe, and could not have been nicer.
The food and accommodation were beyond our expectations but what really made the trip was our guide.
Francis went above and beyond at all times to make our trip spectacular. He was knowledgeable about wildlife and gave us a local’s perspective of the country.
The pure beauty of Uganda was breathtaking, from the power of Murchison Falls, to the ruins of Pakuba. What really made it an unbelievable experience was the friendship, warmth and generosity of the Ugandan people. We highly recommend this company. Ask for Francis, he’s more than just a guide, he’s a wonderful ambassador for Uganda.

Wonderful !!!
Everything was perfect !
We've seen wonderful places, we saw all the animals that we came here for, all the lodges were very good and comfortable, all the people were so nice, very helpful, always smiling... They really make you feel at home !
And of course Bashir, our guide, was the best ! He was always very kind with us, always making some jokes, he taught us a lot about the country and we're still in contact with him so it's a really beautiful meeting that we've made.
Thanks to Tanzania and thanks to Lion King Adventures !!!

Fantastic Day Trip to Amboseli
Everything from the pick-up, the drive to the park and the safari was very well planned, cost of the trip is also very reasonable. The team had also shared insights before-hand & all I had to do was show up and enjoy myself. Most times the logistics are a nightmare people don't want to deal with & *Ease My Safari* got that all covered for me.
Our driver was a well of information he answered questions, shared details & fun facts as we drove through the park. The organizers on the team were friendly and fun to hang around. I had an amazing day & i would definitely recommend the company check out their website for upcoming trips and sign up!

It was one of the best experiences of my life
Everything with the agency went good. They took us from our hotel and then they guided us around the safari parks. Our guide was super good, kind, available for any information, he gave us some suggestions abour our stay in Kenya and he made our safari tour amazing! the agency booked some stunning hotel/tended camp. At the end, they took us directly to our hotel to the coast. It was everything extremely organised!!

We were so happy to choose Sino Africa Safari!
Sino Africa was not our first choice! We decide to go with them because of the way they communicated with us, promptly and straight forward. Indeed, we were right! They are professional, and they arranged a good driver for us! Accommodation was very luxury, we love Fairmont camp. The experience was really good, we are next to Mara River. I want to say to Sino Africa Safari that you are very much professional, the way you care is much beyond of other tour companies. We will visit Africa next time with you, because I don’t have to worry much!
