Incredible experience, super well organized
Daniel briefed us perfectly before starting. Ezequiel, our guide, has been incredible. He really knows every single spot of every park. His tips and explanations have been very precious. Accomodations were super, same for the meals

Amazing safari with Meru Slopes
It has been an incredible experience! We have done a 6-day safari trip with Meru Slopes from Arusha, visiting Tarangire Park, Serengeti (we went up to the north) and Ngorongoro. We have done the safari with Mohamed as the driver, who is amazing! Very good driver, very good Spanish speaker driver and he has very good eyesight to see all the animals. Thanks to him we have seen the Big Five and we have been very lucky to see the wildebeest crossing the Mara River, as well as seeing giraffes, cheetahs, elephants, zebras and many more. They have been magical days! We would also like to thank Almachius very much, who helped us and advised us in the previous months with the doubts that we had. As a tip, we would encourage you to do the safari privately, we did it just the two of us and it is great to be able to stop as long as you want in each place, in addition to being very comfortable in the car and being able to move from one place to another to take good photos.

Amazing experience in Tanzania & Uganda
We went on a 12-day safari through Tanzania and Uganda with Mega Wild Safaris, and can highly recommend! It is a professional company, with terrific personnel. The trip was extraordinary from beginning to end.
Emmanuel met us at our hotel in Arusha, and just an hour or so later we were experiencing incredible wildlife at Tarangire National Park. I mean - up close and personal with giraffes, elephants, cheetahs, zebras, buffalo, wildebeest! Amazing start. We spent the next three days in various parts of the Serengeti and were wowed by many lions, a leopard right above us in a tree, hippos, and thousands of wildebeests making the Great Migration across the River Mara!! Wild! Ngorongoro Crater was beautiful too... so amazing to see so many different animals all within a 360 of the jeep. There are no paved roads in the Serengeti, so be prepared for a lot of bumping and jostling ("the African massage") and dust. Emmanuel was fantastic! He regularly arrived at the perfect viewing spot well before the other safari vehicles, and worked hard to make sure that we got the best vantage point. He is extremely knowledgeable about the land, the animals and the people (apart from speaking several languages fluently) and was excellent company throughout the drives and meal times. At the end, he made sure we were safely checked in at the Kilimanjaro airport.
Mega Wild booked our flight from Tanzania to Uganda, and it went off without a hitch. Dalson picked us up at Entebbe Airport, and we were immediately with a new friend :) We drove for several hours across beautiful lush Uganda, and Dalson helped interpret what we were seeing at every step. Our experiences with the chimpanzees and with the gorillas were beyond belief. Such close access, such magic. We felt that we really got to know something about Ugandan life through our long chats (and laughs) with Dalson, which put everything we were seeing into context.
Our accommodations were all fine, with some of them being quite luxurious and others more basic. Sometimes there can be power or hot water issues along the way, but these were usually resolved quickly. Everyone at the lodges treated us well, and the food was quite good. We are vegans but were flexing to vegetarian for the trip. Emmanuel and Dalson always communicated with the lodges, so that we almost always had good variety and tasty food at dinner. Breakfast and boxed lunches were sometimes a bit sketchy, but there was always plenty of fresh fruit and bread and we had brought granola bars and other snacks to augment. In Uganda, we recommend the Ride 4 a Woman lodge near the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest - they provide lovely accommodations and food, and all profits go to help local women develop skills and independence.
We had good communication with Anne Bright before and during the trip. There were some last minute changes made to the itinerary, but most of these were for the better.
There are tons of safari companies out there. We chose Mega Wild because they were local, the prices were reasonable, and we appreciated the good communication in our early enquiries. We were happy with our choice!

Easiest trip of our life
Everything was amazing, everywhere we needed to go we knew who was going to pick us up, where they were picking us up from, and what they looked like. Every recommendation made was amazing and we had a ton of fun.

First class treatment from start to finish.
Our experience was just brilliant, from our very early tentative enquiries, to reluctantly leaving Tanzania after the most amazing safari. Iza took all our preferences into account and organised a bespoke trip, and kept us up to date throughout. What a star!
Everything went so well; our airport pick up and drop off, beautiful accommodation, unbelievable birds and wildlife..... And Octavian, our wonderful guide/driver. An absolutely brilliant driver, wildlife spotter, bird identifier, fund of info about Tanzania - and with outstanding patience and humour! Just the nicest man to hang out with. We love you, Octavian!
If you are wondering about a safari, then I can't recommend ADT too highly. They will make your dreams come true!

Perfect 4 Days Great safari with Suricata
We had a wonderful experience on the 4 days great safari with Suricata! Well organized with our driver und guide Lewis, who answered all our questions and made us feel safe on the bumpy roads. The tented lodges where perfect, in the middle of the nature. The hotel for the first night (boma lodge) was located directly next to lake manyara with a great view.
We highly recommend Suricata safaris! Thank you for the perfect trip!

Family friendly shuttle
When booking with this company we booked for 2 adults and 1 baby. We were impressed that the shuttle had a carseat inside. The company takes one safety into account.
