Knowledgable, Helpful, Responsive and Warm!
We are rather seasoned travelers, but have never been to Africa, let alone on Safari. We needed a relatively short Safari program during the busiest tourist season. Kirsten Wolley, our advisor, was wonderfully informed about options, listened closely to our requirements, and found us a fantastic experience at the Rhino Ridge park in Kwa Zulu. Everything from our financial to scheduling needs, our touring and food preferences, to travel insurance were promptly and well handled. And we had one of the best experiences of our lives, effortlessly!

Absolutely brilliant. One of the best holiday experiences of our lifes.
Going on Safari was a dream come true.Selous park was a fantastic choice and we cannot praise the organisation. guides, staff, cleanliness and comfort of the lodges, plus the excellent food, enough.The variety of Safaris we went on covered, the boat Safari, walking Safari and drive Safaris. All of them were special in their own way and the guides were experienced, and very informative. To see the Hippos, elephants, crocodiles, water buffalo, and various birds, while little more than a stones throw away, from the boat. Or visit the water hole to see the monkeys, Water buck, Zebras, and Wild boar while on the walking Safari.Photograph the lions on a kill, or the Giraffes keeping cool, while the Impala, Leopards and Hyenas are on the move, and taking in the wonderful scenery on the drive safari.
The adrenaline of excitement is there every day, and the Tanzanian people are great. The Selous Park staff are very professional and well trained, treating everyone with respect.
Both my wife and I would fully recommend this Safari. It brings together a mixture of ages and a nice atmosphere.To add to our holiday we then moved back to reality, with a stay in nearby Zanzibar which was also very enjoyable.

We enjoyed our safari so much thanks to Meru Slopes!
Jeffrey and his staff organized for us a nice tour, prices are very competitive and accommodations are very good. During camping days the food was always nice thanks to the cook. We recommend our exceptional guide, David , who is an expert in knowing animals and Savana habitat.
We were extremely satisfied. Highly recommended !!!

Safari with gorillas
I was travelling by myself and the moment I concluded to travel with this company I never regretted it. The lady from the office was very quick with reply and very detailed with explanations. I travelled in a safari bus and it was big and comfortable. The driver always careful and cheerful. For 9 days I visted gorillas and tree climbing lions. Also we visited chimpanse in forest and nice interesting boat ride in lake. I do not hesitate to suggest this company to another person

Very satisfying 3 day campingsafari in Serengeti and NC A with excellent stuff and equipment.
Very good and fast booking service, with easy communication over mobile and email and a good price.
Very good service, kind and gentle guide with good knowledge about everything which is important during a safari. Delicius food and good camping equipment.
The 3 day trip from Moshi to Serengeti and Ngorongoro was very impressive. We saw a lot of animals in a amazing landscape. Due to the short time, it was a lot of driving, but the time was used very intensive.
I would travel again with Mega Adventures.
PS. Renting a 4WD is also possible at the office in Moshi.

Awesome trip and very smooth organisation!
I recently did a tour with Arrive Africa Safaris for 5 nights/6 days, Edith from Africa Arrivals organised a guide/driver for me and everything went smoothly and I highly recommend them because of their professionalism, organisation and value for money.
Customer service - from the beginning to the end Edith from Arrive Africa Safaris has been very helpful, transparent with costs and she responds fast. I came up with a draft itinerary as I had s very tight time frame and budget but Edith was always very patient and informative with her responses.
The guide/driver - I had Moses as my guide as well as my driver for the week. Moses is very experienced and knowledgeable as he's been in the industry since 2000 and also has a very gentle and kind heart. Moses was always on time, gave clear briefings the night before and went beyond the call of his duty to get me pain killers as I slipped on a slippery rock while doing the gorilla trekking. For half of the trip I was in pain while sitting in the car and this trip involves quiet a bit of driving. I know Moses became extra careful while driving since I had my mini accident as he would drive over potholes on his side and get my side of the car on a smooth surface as much as possible.
Bonus - another reason why I highly recommend Moses is that he volunteered to take me to visit a local fish village. Most guides and drivers just want to tick off things on the itinerary list then go back to their accommodation and rest, but not Moses. Moses also took me to local restaurant to eat lunches to save money and would wait for me in his car for hours when I'm doing the chimps see trekking and the boat tour. Very reliable and understanding.
Value for money - from the very beginning I've told Edith that I have a very tight time frame and tight budget and I wanted to spend minimum money on things like accommodation, foods, extra staff members etc. so I found cheap accommodations myself, only eat one or two meals a day etc Edith was very accommodation with my requests as I know many other tour operators would just say no to me or tell me what I want to do is not possible or below their standards. But Edith was different, if she does say no she explains why so that I understand and come up with other options or compromises. If you have $2,000usd plus additional money for flight, you can easily have a really good time and do both gorilla and chimpanzee trekking, stay in nice places and still have money left over after a week of holidays in Uganda.
I had a great trip, Uganda is different to Tanzania, different to Rwanda (do you know that they speak French there?) and they have amazing trees and animals on the side of the roads, it's just so beautiful and full of surprises :) I hope you have s chance to visit Uganda one day :)

Non commercial, personal holidays, thanks to Blue Crane Safaris
This was our 3rd holidays in last 4 years with Blue Crane and everytime the experience get better. Unlike a few other safari operators i had used in the past, Blue Crane is far different in terms of organising holidays. The whole team is available to make the experience enjoyable, memorable and at any time they dont make you feel as a tourist. Good Team!!!
We look forward to holiday with them agains.

Traveling on a college budget - affordable and well worth it!
Based in Moshi, TZ, Mega Adventures was affordable, respectful, and exceptionally accommodating. I took four separate trips with Mega over the span of 3 weeks - each was incredible. Days trips to the Materuni, Lake Chala and Kili and a 4 day camping Safari to Tarangire, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro Crater. All of my guides spoke great English, were very knowledgeable about wildlife, and were extremely patient to stop for pictures often!! Tanzanians driving can be quite nerve racking, but no worries Mega drivers know what they ade doing and are very safe. Camping was so fun! The sites were absolutely beautiful - sleeping in Serengeti is kind of awesome and sleeping under a huge fig tree on the rim of the crater was gorgeous! We had a full breakfast lunch and dinner every day - the food was really good (I've never eaten so much or so well camping). Be prepared for lots of bumpy roads and the free"African massage"! I hope to go back to Moshi very soon and look forward to working with Mega again!
