The tour operator provided excellent service to customers and all the staff are very friendly.
We came to Tanzania for the Safari and chose Meru Slopes to be our guide. During the trip, our guide is Saleh and our chef is Buga, they’re both very friendly and provided excellent service and explanation for us. The car used for the Safari was comfortable and clean, and free WiFi was included. We saw lots of animals during the trip, elephants, leopards, cheetahs and other animals. Saleh is really good at finding the animals which made our trip wonderful. I am sure if I will come to Tanzania again, I will choose Meru Slopes again.

Would not recommend
We were very excited for our 9 day private tour across Kenya and Tanzania. We had hand picked the itinerary, accommodation and paid for everything upfront. Geofrey would always reply promptly but as the tour took place there were down falls that should’ve been avoided.
Prior to the tour starting they didn’t book accommodation in time so we had to change some of our options a few times.
Our driver in Tanzania was not experienced in the places we visited and we spent hours of our game drive with him asking for directions to our accommodation.
Accommodation was not booked correctly, we arrived at our accommodation and Osnet had booked elsewhere so we had to drive another 2 hours late at night to get there.
Our vehicle had issues and we missed morning and afternoon game drives.
We had a village tour included but payment wasn't arranged by Osnet so we paid, then Geofrey said we paid too much and they wouldn’t refund us what we paid, only a third of the amount.
One of our lodges overbooked us and Geofrey advised us the day of when he was told. He didn’t accept the downgrade of alternative accommodation but he didn’t follow up to ensure we would have a refund of the difference. Instead when we arrived it was not sorted so we spent the evening arranging the refund on his behalf - I was doing his job.
We had them book a train for us and it was last minute he told us that he booked it too late and the tickets we paid for were sold out so he refunded us the difference.
We didn’t get compensated for an inexperienced driver, the mix up in accommodation from the itinerary, loss of game drives, or the refund we are due from the lodge. Geofrey seems to have blocked my number and we now can’t get hold of them to get the money back.
The highlight was our guide Robert in the Maasai Mara, he was fantastic!!!!

Kwesa Tours is the Best
Teacher and his team at Kwesa Tours led our group of 20 from the USA (CO, IL, and TX) via the Marangu route to the summit of Kilimanjaro. It was one of the most fun, safe, and challenging experiences. The Kwesa team took care of us at every step, including preparations, briefings, dining, hiking, and ultimately preparing our mental attitude for summit night. We all felt confident about our safety and that Kwesa shared our objective to get to the top. I am grateful for Teacher’s friendship as well as his Cooks, Guides, and Porters, all of whom looked after us so well. I give them my highest recommendation for outfitting. It was a wonderful physical, mental, and cultural experience that I will never forget.

Fantastic !!!
Everything was good! From the pick up from Arusha airport to leave 🥲 Arusha !
The first mention for the first beefiest with Daniel, really useful to understand better the situation, what being with us and what “directions” follow during the stay.
The Suricata lodge in front of lake Maniara is a really high level with a very kind and friendly staff!
Our driver for first day was Mandala and he is a really nice guy with a big knowledge of the animals! The other driver, our Guy, Mr. Max is an excellent and friendly pilot . A note to thanks him, when the battery stopped to work in the middle of Ngorongoro Park, he immediately repaired it! Great!!!
Another positive note for the chef, he cooked for us a lot of good dishes during our 4 lunches, mixed traditional food with also pasta 🍝 and pizza 🍕 🇮🇹.
One of the Best night in my life in the lodge in the middle of Serengeti.. what a night!
Thank you guys… SURICATA FOREVER!
See you soon

Amazing experience with the best crew
The most amazing experience with the best crew. Muntari and Swalehe our guides made us feel happy and safe every day. They spoke excellent English and answered all our questions. During the walks we laughed a lot and they took the time to explain different landmarks/plants and their importance. Compared to other guides we felt we developed a strong friendship with ours and they felt like family by the end. Every evening we had a debrief where they checked on how we were feeling with the altitude and in general. They then planned the next day accordingly. Shabani our chef made us a hot 2 course breakfast, lunch and dinner every day with eggs, chicken, beef, fish and lots of veggies. Amani brought us hot tea in bed every morning, helped us clean our clothes after each hike and filled our water bottles up everyday, he was always kind and thoughtful and went the extra mile! Amani really was the best! Our porters apoli, Franco, umari, juicer, moondi, usman always had our backs and a smile on their faces. One day we lost our expensive watch but Umari found it in the tent! On summit day in addition to our guides Amani, apoli and Shabani came with us for support and we successfully summitee in 5hrs! I can’t recommend the crew and Almighty Kilimanjaro enough! Thank you for everything and we will miss you!

Great Experience and helpfull all the way!
Me and some colleagues were travelling to Johannesburg for a working trip. Due to some last minute changes we had two free days and we wanted to make the most of them.
Luckily, we were able to spend two wonderful days with the help of Shinzelle Safaris.
They did a great job and were very helpful with us.
Having to book a 2 day tour in such short notice and getting great advice to make the most of these two days was what really showed me what a great team they have.

Kaara was the perfect choice for our trip to Uganda
Kaara was responsive and helpful from the very first booking inquiry. We had some of our own ideas, and worked with their suggestions, and we crafted the perfect itinerary for our trip. Do not hesitate to ask for their recommendations.
The tour was very well-priced. You have the option to scale up or down with regards to our accommodation quality.
Our guide was fantastic - we were safe and had a blast the entire time!

A perfectly tailored safari
Both the Gorilla trek and the Chimpanzee trek were super exciting and very well planned.
Fantastic views and game drives in Murchison Falls and Queen Elizabeth.
From the very first day Twaha (guide) and Khalid (driver) were professional, friendly and provided us a really valuable company with even more activities and experiences than planned.
We definitely recommend them for any holiday and safari in Uganda!
