meru slopes is reliable and offers fair prices.
The communication was verry good. Via whatsapp you'll get immediately a respons from geoffrey, this works good. In overal I had a good safari, we've seen a lot of animals en the food was great. The only negative thing was the guide. He was not very interactive with us and he didn't give any information about the animals we saw. It was more like: "look there a lion!" . And in the end We had to pay to much for the tips. The guid told us to give him 40 dollar and the cook also 40 dollar. That was 80 dollar tips for a couple. But Overal I had a great tour and meru slopes arranged it really good,.

They are experts
They know what they are doing starting from reservations till taking you back to the airport
Our driver was so experienced that he can smell the animals from the wind .
They arranged good accommodations with our budget.

Unforgettable safari
We were a Danish family consisting of 6 persons aged from 13 to 68 years. We were put together with 2 persons more, so we were 8 passengers. We had an extraordinary, fantastic experience in Masai Mara - we succeeded in meeting lots of different animals including the big 5 (except the rhino). We had a very dedicated and well-informed driver/guide, mr. Obama himself, who contributed to a high spirit in the vehicle and in the evening. Rachel Obonyo from the company was always very helpful and attentive. We loved the camp. It was simple but charming and the food was excellent.

Good experience
Overall the trip was very good but the driver was not good. He did not talk about what we we looking at. He was definitely not a guide, only a driver. Besides this he smelled awful wherefore we all hated sitting in the front passenger seat.
With regards to the trip itself, sailing on the Rufiji River was absolutely fantastic. Spending time at Hippo Camp and experiencing Seleous Game Reserve was amazing. But Mikumi National Park was very disappointing as the national park was being burnt on purpose which meant that most of the animals were gone. Mercury Tour and Safari knew this but still took us there.

Organization
They were very nice in preparing the trip. They made a program according to my wishes
On arrival I had everything prepared, nothing was forgotten, a good service
I loved visiting Namibia, although traveling alone, had some fear, but everything went according to planned.

Incredible experience
I would like give them a 5 in the rating but there was a few things that may be better. I start to thank Robert from Karibu that helped us the first night staying at his home and breakfast only 4 hours between the arriving and the start of the journey. We had a guide Maxwell. He was great and wanted us to see everything and very close to the animals. He drove us in the safe way people drive in Kenya. He explained us which animals we had in front and stopped every time we asked him. With patience we could see a lot of animals and in the first row of the show!!! During the journey our schedule was changed and we pointed out that it was not really what we had in the beginning. They tried to give us the best service however it was too much trip for us getting back from the border to Naivasha and back to the border. I do appreciate their help but if you go through the planning again with the company is the best advice I can give, checking the hotels that were agreed on the beginning and if there is any chance let you know. I do recommend Karibu and Maxwell. They can make your trip interesting in a beautiful country as Kenya.

Overall, the trip was well organised, site selection good with accommodation well chosen.
Booking directly online sometimes can be hazardous however dealing with Sylvester Sala at Seven by Far proved to be a good choice. Communication before the trip started was more than adequate and everything promised, was delivered. Travelling by myself did provide challenges as my driver/guide was a little less communicative than I would have liked on the long drives between reserves ranging from 5-7 hours each though he was fine when in the reserves and was a good 'spotter'. The animals definitely lived up to expectations and the reserves did too. The Masai Mara and Amboseli were the standouts though Lake Nakuru did allow me to see the white Rhino however the anticipated flocks of pink flamingos did not eventuate.

Perfect 3day-Safari
We saw the Big 5, special thanks to our great guide Walter and our chef. Food and guidance of both was perfect. Walter did everything to see as much animals as possible. Chef prepared the food fresh and everyday something different.
Campsites were also cool and a great experience. Animals (zebra and hyenas) were next to the tent, great adventure.
Would definitely recommend going with BMS. Best opportunity for NPs you can't discover by your own. Value for money is good..
Good service and enjoyable experience
Good service, driver very knowledgeable. Great accommodation, overall very pleased
