So good!
We had an amazing safari experience with Savanna Sojourns Safari. We were lucky enough to see both the Big Five and the Ugly Five, which made the trip absolutely unforgettable. Our driver and guide, Steve, was fantastic; truly the best! He was extremely professional, knowledgeable and fully committed throughout the whole safari. He made a huge effort to find the animals, drove us all around the reserve and was always very attentive and focused on giving us the best possible experience. He was also very funny and made the whole safari even more enjoyable. We had such a great time with him, and his good energy made every moment special. You could really see how dedicated he was to his job and how much he cared about making the safari unforgettable for us. Highly recommended, and a very special thank you to Steve!

Serengeti Finale｜Spotted the Big Five + witnessed two river crossings
An 8‑day‑7‑night African savanna safari has finally come to a perfect close.
Our luck on this Tanzanian journey far exceeded all expectations 🌍.
We finally checked off the Big Five 🦁🐘🦏🐆🐃:
Lion, African Elephant, Cape Buffalo, Black‑and‑White Rhinoceros, and Leopard.
These were not scenes from documentaries or photo albums.
We met them one by one, up close and gently, amid the vast, wild Serengeti plains.
The biggest highlight of this trip was witnessing two river crossings of the Great Migration 🦓.
Standing along the Mara River, we watched millions of wildebeest surge across the water.
Dust billowed as thousands of beasts thundered forward.
It was magnificent, breathtaking, yet also a raw display of nature’s unforgiving vitality.
Life, death, migration, reproduction, endless cycles of renewal.
In this moment, I truly understood: Africa is a living wild epic.
How well you photograph wildlife and how many rare animals you spot on safari depends partly on luck, and partly on an outstanding guide.
Special thanks to our guide, Big Alex 🏆.
With over twenty years of on‑the‑ground experience in the Serengeti, he knows every herd’s movement patterns and every animal’s habits across the entire savanna.
Drawing on his sharp observational skills and real‑time radio coordination, he captured fleeting wild moments for us.
He led us to rare sightings many travellers never get to see:
a leopard hiding in thick brush, a pride of lions feasting on a zebra, ostriches performing their courtship dances, and massive‑scale river crossings…
Countless stunning and precious moments were made possible by his professionalism, patience and utmost dedication ❤️.
As our savanna adventure draws to an end,
we carry away awe‑inspiring sights, deep inner healing,
and the unforgettable wild romance of Africa 🌿

Very good
Wonderful experience. Stay in the luxury tent and Ol Tukai lodge was a memorable experience. Also the lavish food, the warm friendly staff and of course the safaris are an experience we would cherish for long. Travel arrangements were good and the local chartered flight to Amboseli was a rare experience.

Excellent experience
We booked a budget-friendly, 7-day/6-night group safari with Meru, covering Arusha, Serengeti National Park, the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, Tarangire National Park, Materuni Waterfall/coffee plantation, and Kikuletwa (Chamka) Hot Springs.
Our interactions with safari specialist Leonard Mkwavi were excellent; he was always quick to respond to my requests for clarification, changes, and additions via WhatsApp following the initial quote received via email. It was a pleasure meeting him in Arusha on our arrival day for the initial briefing (and to set up our data SIM cards for the trip) and saying goodbye on the last day to share our impressions of the safari and organize the final activities.
Payments to Meru—both the deposit and the final balance—were made seamlessly via international bank transfer (avoiding credit card surcharges and the risk of carrying large amounts of cash for the final payment).
Our driver-guide, Godlisten William, was also incredibly attentive and eager to meet our needs; thanks to his years of experience, he proved to be deeply knowledgeable about the environment we were exploring. His driving was excellent—cautious and careful—and he did a great job managing the logistics at the campsites and coordinating the support staff (cook and camp assistant) regarding both the tents and meals. We also want to give huge praise to the cook for delighting us with local specialties at both lunch and dinner—dishes that were delicious, flavorful, and, importantly, healthy! Thank you, Godlisten, for looking after us during our two nights in the Serengeti! All in all, it was an unforgettable experience: in my opinion, camping is the best way to fully embrace the spirit of an African safari, and with Meru, I found an organization that made it possible to realize exactly what I was looking for in the best possible way.
The vehicle used was well-suited to the activity; even when a minor technical issue arose (a dead battery—it happens), Godlisten was quick to resolve the problem without disrupting the itinerary. The seating was comfortable: six seats in total, arranged in three rows with a central aisle. The last two seats were just a bit tight.
Overall, it was an excellent experience with Meru Slopes Tours & Safaris; I would recommend that any independent travelers planning a trip to Tanzania (without going through Italian tour operators) contact them directly with full confidence.
And I’m already missing Africa!
