Operator excellent 5 star but guide in our case poor 1 star
We booked a luxury Safari in Tanzania, and Nyemo was dry helpful and efficient in planning and organizing our trip. Very carefully planned our itinerary to visit a set of luxury lodges and it was a good value. The camps and lodges beautiful and the wildlife experience great!
Disappointed though in the guide and the vehicle which was in poor condition. The biggest concern was that the seatbelts were broken, and not usable. This made us very uncomfortable being that we were traveling in remote areas far from medical care and safety and prevention of injury so important. The vehicle also had electrical problems from the day we were picked up necessitating midway through the trip a stop at a garage for half a day and lost safari time.
The driver also was unfamiliar with any of the camps we had chosen, and in every instance was lost trying to find the next camp delaying our arrival by as much as one or two hours each time we changed camps. We chose luxury camps so we could also enjoy the camp ambience at end of day, but the delayed arrival left us feeling rushed.
I believe this experience must be an exception since in all the other reviews, the guides are outstanding. Also I would have thought there would’ve been some follow up from the company at the completion of our tour, but we were never contacted.

It was an amazing Tall Masai Safari.
It was an amazing Tall Masai Safari. Before and throughout the trip, communication with Benson was simple, and everything went according to plan. Even the most difficult terrain was handled expertly by our driver, Patick. We learned a great deal about the parks and their people from him. It was a modest yet more than adequate room. I have no complaints.

Perfectly Organized Safari with West Wild
We had an absolutely fantastic safari experience with West Wild. The itinerary was exceptionally well-planned and logical, allowing us to maximize our time in the parks. We were thrilled to see most of the animals on our wishlist, from lions and elephants to elusive leopards. What truly stood out was the team's professionalism and responsiveness. Whenever a minor issue arose, the staff acted swiftly and efficiently to resolve it, ensuring our trip remained seamless and enjoyable from start to finish. The communication, service, and overall value for money were outstanding. Highly reliable and highly recommended!

my recommendation
From the very beginning, Safarivista Adventures’ team brought incredible energy, curiosity, and enthusiasm to the experience. The hike across Shira Plateau was filled with great conversations, plenty of smiles, and a true appreciation for the spectacular landscapes of Mount Kilimanjaro.

Excellent Safari Tour - Highly Recommend
We had an incredible experience with Meterai Safaris on our January trip to the Maasai Mara! As a group of three girls traveling together, we felt completely taken care of from start to finish.
Richard was an exceptional host and guide. He truly listened to what we wanted out of the experience and tailored the safari to fit our preferences, which made it feel personal rather than scripted. When our flights changed at the last minute, the company was incredibly flexible and accommodating—making what could have been stressful feel seamless and easy. Airport pickup and drop-off were right on time, and the transitions were smooth throughout.
The safari itself was unforgettable. We saw 3 of the Big 5, and Richard went above and beyond—doing some seriously impressive driving and tracking to help us spot animals that are notoriously hard to find. You could tell he was experienced, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in making sure we had the best possible sightings.
The entire trip felt safe, well-organized, affordable, and thoughtfully planned. We couldn’t have asked for a better Maasai Mara experience and would absolutely recommend Meterai Safaris to anyone looking for a customized, stress-free adventure.

Great Private Safari
We had a great tour. Guide was from Uganda and knew all the best places to go. Saw everything we wanted to see and jewels the guide shared. Because I knew nothing about Uganda, I sent a wish list and they created an itinerary and handled the logistics.

Simply wonderful
The trip went beyond my expectations. Tanzania is wonderful — its nature, its people. Unfogettable. I will always carry it in my heart, and I’ll recommend it to anyone. I hope it stays this way.
