Organized affordable yet still knowledgeable
I think it is best to split this review into two parts. The tldr however is that our safari with Kihindo was wonderful.
Pre-safari
The organisation all occurred last minute over WhatsApp with the wonderful Winnie who answered all of my questions and concerns (of which there were many) swiftly and clearly. The price was exactly as advertised with no additional taxes charged etc etc. We were picked up from our hotel by someone from the agency and dropped of exactly where we wanted to be by our guide at the end.
The safari
The safari it's self was spectacular, we went to Nyerere national park for 3 days and 2 nights and had a very knowledgeable guide named Isa. Our first day we arrived to a very nice lodge were greeted by the staff there offered a drink and asked when we would like to lunch (as they would ask for every meal) the accommodation was spacious and clean. The game drive went spectacularly as our guide knew the park and animals very well we saw so much, and although a lot of it is based on luck I believe having a good guide really increases your chances.
All in all we had a wonderful trip filled with incredible encounters and are planning to do another safari with Kihindo in 3 days largely due to how wonderful the last one was.

Unforgettable adventures with exceptional service and breathtaking wildlife encounters, big 5!
Our experience was exceptional. From the initial communication with Ushma to the execution of the tour, everything was seamless. Our guide, Anderson, ensured every detail was taken care of, his experience and expertise made the difference! The reliability and professionalism of the company made the entire experience stress-free and enjoyable. The tour itself was a highlight, offering unforgettable wildlife encounters (the Big Five!), scenes of big cats hunting and breathtaking landscapes. We highly recommend Serengeti Wakanda Tours and Safaris for an unforgettable adventure in Tanzania. Merci beaucoup!

Solomon is number 1 driver guide
We spent 8 days safari in Kenya. Everything was perfect. No complain at all. Solomon indeed was the best driver guide and he is like our family friend now. We saw elehants fighting and lion hunting. Thanks to Jong from Sino Africa Safari.

Jambo! We did the 5-day Private Comfort Safari to Tarangire, Serengeti & Ngorongoro with Meru Slopes Tours & Safaris.
Prior to booking the trip with Meru, I compared the package they offered with 3 other companies and found this to be as good, and some cases better for what we were looking for in a safari.
There were less expensive packages with other companies, but I liked Meru's presentation that they sent us with their quote. It seemed professional and covered a lot of the questions that I would have otherwise had to ask with other companies.
The other thing that I felt was very important (before and after making the booking) was that Kelvin, their manager, was available via WhatsApp and was able to respond to my questions quickly and accurately. It gave me the feeling of knowing that he cared that I was going to be happy with our decisions.
He was at the airport in Arusha to personally greet us and introduce us to our driver for the tour. That was a nice touch. He also offered to meet again to say goodbye at the conclusion of our safari.
From start to finish we felt well taken care by our fantastic driver/guide (Julius) and he did his very best to make sure we saw everything there was to see each day. The accommodations were great. We stayed the first night at Acacia Farms, then on to Serengeti and Kubu Kubu tented Lodge for 2 nights, and then last but certainly not least was the Melia Ngorongoro. The breakfast and dinner meals were top notch at every location and the daily boxed lunches were decent as well. I have to say, the Melia Ngorongoro was outstanding (wow). The sun rises and sunsets from Melia and Kubu Kubu are a 'must see'.
A fun extra on this trip for me was re-learning Swahili with Julius, our driver during our game drives. I had worked in Mtwara, Tanzania for about 1 1/2 years back in 2007/2008 and did a shorter version of this same safari back then. I think he enjoyed me trying and failing and correcting and trying again, just as much as I did. We even had my girlfriend Angie speaking a little Swahili by the end of the safari. Julius is a great guy - ask for him.
In conclusion, other than not seeing the leopard this trip, I can't think of how anything could have been better. Angie felt the same way. Ok, maybe one thing - fix that road from Ngorongoro to the Serengeti. It's a rough ride!
I highly recommend Meru Slopes Tours & Safaris for this trip. It all goes by too quickly, but you'll be leaving Arusha with a big smile and some great memories! Hakuna Matata! Asante Sana!!

Everything was fantastic. I have no complaints. The safaris were fantastic and our guide Damian took absolutely great care of us and made a lot of effort.

Great value, unforgettable safari
ETA's itinerary was very reasonable, the driver Kevin was very considerate, and the car model was a 4x4 Land Cruiser all-terrain off-road.
There was nothing to complain about from beginning to end, it can be called a perfect journey.
Whenever they encountered animals, the driver would stop and give us time to take pictures, and would also be very proactive in looking for animals. This time we even saw a cheetah hunting, which was very thrilling. We have recommended this travel agency to many Chinese partners, and they have also signed up.
Thank you very much ETA for giving us this unforgettable trip.

UnforgettableExperience with Ramaja Safaris
I was a bit skeptical before the trip, as there are so many safari agencies to choose from, but we definitely made the right decision with Ramaja Safaris! Everything was excellently organized, and Steve was available 24/7—always kind and helpful.
Our guide, Moses, was absolutely phenomenal. He perfectly understood our preferences and customized the tour to match our desires. Instead of another game drive on our last day—since we were already exhausted from chasing wildlife across the savanna—he surprised us with an unforgettable experience: a sunset picnic in the heart of the savanna.
It was the perfect ending to an already amazing adventure. I wholeheartedly recommend Ramaja Safaris to anyone looking for a well-organized, personalized, and truly magical safari experience!

The tour operator was nice, punctual and had this amazing aura, he took us around many cool spots.
Adven tours and travel team was very reliable and communicated all the cost of the trip upfront. I loved their punctuality and quality of service.
I had a really great experience and am sure to contact them again for my next adventure.
