Great safari with professional company
I had a great safari with Meru Slopes Tours & Safaris. I chose the 6 days budget camping group option. The company is very flexible so you can do any number of days and they will add you on to other groups etc – so this worked very well for me as a solo traveller. I spent one day in Tarangire, 3 days in the Serengeti (including the time to travel there), one day in Ngorongoro and one in Manyara. If you have less time then they will probably suggest to sacrifice Tarangire or Manyara – this makes sense because, although these parks are beautiful and full of animals – the most exciting viewings are in the Serengeti and the Ngorongoro is a stunning setting not to be missed.
Geofrey dealt with my enquiries and bookings efficiently and professionally. Nuru picked me up from the airport with no problem and was interesting to chat to on the drive to Arusha. The hotel which they use before/after safari (Arusha Tourist Inn) is basic but more than adequate.
On safari our driver/guide was Douglas – he was a great character and really good at his job with many years’ experience. Our chef was Richard who was also a nice guy – the food was always very good and very plentiful. At the start/end of my trip the accommodation was Manyara Sunbright Lodge – tented structures with wooden bed, toilet/shower out the back. In the Serengeti and Ngorongoro you stay in actual tents on a public campsite – in the Serengeti this can mean animals walking through the camp – all part of the experience!
I give the trip 5 stars because I think it’s great value for money – and the staff and organisation are very helpful and trustworthy. Of course you can do more luxurious/bespoke safaris – but for the ‘going rate’ of around $200 per day for a budget safari I think Meru Slopes delivers a great experience.

Kilimanjaro Day Hike
I completed the Mt. Kilimanjaro day trip with Professional Safari Africa and cannot recommend them more highly! My guide Chacha made the whole experience even better than I expected, as he went above and beyond to make my experience memorable. Incredible friendly, helpful and humourous, and he even got some photos and videos of me with some monkeys during the hike. The food was also really good!! I would love to come back to do a safari tour with them next time too!

Unforgettable experience in Kenya
We had a lovely 4-day safari trip at Lake Nakuru and Masai Mara. Dickson, our guide, was super friendly, extremely helpful and did whatever he could for us to have a trio of our lifetime - from spotting the leopard to having picnic lunch in the bush. Accommodation was great, especially Loyk Mara Camp - where else can you have zebras view at lunch or hear lions roar at night! Everything was very well organized - highly recommend it!

An Amazing Experience
My wife and I have just returned from Kenya having done the 4 day Joining Group Budget Safari (Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru). It was perfect and more than what we could have imagined.
First, when looking at operators I inquired with many, but reasoning to go with Axis Africa Expeditions was the reviews and Lennox's quick replies. The company was responsive quickly and transparent to the many questions (as it was my first safari) so I felt comfortable that everything was organized and they would be quick to act should there be any issues that may arise. Should you require certain things (dietary) or requiring upgraded accomodations, I am sure they can arrange to meet your specifications. For my wife and I, the Lenchada camp and the budget hotel were clean, safe, and met our needs.
Driver and Guide may ultimately be the most important part of the trip. You need someone well versed in the location, so that you can see everything you want, be safe, respect the environment, and also ensure coordination of the trip is smooth. We had Jack (Jackson) who was incredible. He knew the Mara inside and out. You can tell he had the respect of everyone in the community, from other company guides, rangers, villagers. He worked non-stop and made sure each guest were safe, comfortable, and had an enjoyable trip. I don't know if there could be any better guide to have, even if you had endless amounts of money. He was perfect!
We saw all the big 5 and many more. The trip was executed to perfection, on time and without any hidden costs. It was well worth it.

Wonderful experience starting with the booking to the goodbyes at the end of the climb.
It was extremely easy to book a climb with the company. The main contact person was very responsive, easy to deal with and sensitive to all my requests.

Warm and friendly services provided by staff who are conscious about value for money
As guests on an official conference to East Africa, we managed to rearrange our travel plans together with the Fahari Uganda Safaris team to see the gorillas and visit the source of the Nile on short notice and Fahari were quite helpful. Our guide Ronnie was a calm but very funny and knowledgeable young man. Thank you Fahari!,
