Amazing safari tour
Had a safari tour with Sandpiper Safaris,
Overall experience was wonderful, communication always on point and really fast, organization was great and professional from picking up at the airport until the drop off, they took care of everything,
Our guide Elisha was absolutely amazing, easy communication skills, managed to spot big 5 in our tour, and many more animals, always full with patience if u want to stay and look at animals which is really important, definitely recommended to ask for him as your guide, also spoke English very well

Very good expe⁸rience
We had a 3-day camping safari experience and it was truly an incredible experience, mainly because we were able to see all the animals up close. I have to thank Melita, our guide, and our chef, who did an excellent job. One allowed us to see all the animals and explained every detail, and the other prepared all the meals with great care, always serving appetizing food. Overall, the experience was very good; the campsites have an incredible atmosphere and provide an experience side-by-side with wild animals. I only feel that some things could be improved, namely the conditions of the campsite bathroom. On the first day, there was no toilet paper.

Good!
Overall, we had a very good experience with Suricata Safaris. The highlights of the trip were the incredible wildlife sightings and the quality of the staff. We saw a large number of animals from very close distances, and our guide, Melita, did an excellent job positioning the vehicle and sharing information throughout the safari. He was also very friendly and professional. Lucas, our cook, prepared delicious meals during the trip and exceeded our expectations.
On the downside, the safari vehicle was not particularly comfortable, although it seemed that most tour operators use very similar vehicles. My main disappointment was with the accommodation on the second night of the 3-day Middle Camp safari. The first camp was excellent, with a great tent and a fantastic overall experience. However, the second accommodation was outside the reserve, about an hour from the entrance gate, which meant extra travel time. The hotel itself was average, the window in our room would not close properly, and we experienced problems with the hot water.
Despite these issues, the safari itself was memorable and well organized. The amazing wildlife, the guide, and the food made the experience worthwhile. The only aspect that significantly disappointed us was the quality and location of the second accommodation.

Brave and nice
I love the tour we made with melita, we saw the big five in 3 days, he is very fast driving to see the animals and not afraid of getting close, he is nice and funk, the chef Lucas made Amazing food for us to eat in the camping. I Would recomend this tour to everyone with melita !

The cook was excellent and the guide was great as well 👏
However, the first campsite left a bit to be desired in some aspects.
Other than that, everything was impeccable and it was a very positive experience 😊

Beacon Safaris provided us an Amazing trip...Start to finish
From the Arrival to departure Beacon provided all we needed for a most wonderful trip. Ms. Winnie in the office took care of everything from our pickup at our arrival flight, flight between the 2 Parks to booking us a hotel for our last night. She is a great communicator and there was nothing we didnt know about before hand. We were picked up from the airport and our Guide Harun drove us to Amboseli to our accommodations. He was great and took us through Amboseli Park. He was great! The truck was clean and comfortable, he knew where the various wildlife were and we saw 9 Cheetahs during that time aside from many other creatures! We then had a flight to Masai Mara where our Guide Carlos picked us up. He made us feel very comfortable as we toured the Park. It is an incredible place. The wildlife was beautiful from the Lions to a Leopard..the Leopard we saw the very last day sitting in a tree and Carlos found that spot! Carlos is awesome guide! We could not have been in better hands. This was our 50th Anniversary and all those at Beacon made us feel very welcome! Everything was well arranged. The trip was awesome and worth every dollar! we can't thank them enough for this unforgettable adventure!!!!!!

Wonderful, they curated an enjoyable safari experience for us!
We enjoyed our first safari experience with Meru Slopes!
Kelvin created a perfect itinerary for us to visit all the national parks in Tanzania and included a cultural village tour with a coffee experience on the last day, because we said we were interested in coffee. He was also very responsive on WhatsApp and answered our queries readily. He also constantly checked in and ensured that our tour ran smoothly and safely for the week.
Our guide Jackson Leyeyo is wonderful. He has a sharp eye and spotted the animas that we wanted to see at the safari. We were able to catch the big five in this trip thanks to him! He always gave us ample time to take pictures of the animals before filling us up on facts about the animal.
Another thing we appreciated during the tour was having hot food during lunch. It was delicious and kept us full for the duration of the game drive.
Unfortunately our jeep broke down on the second last day and we were stranded for a bit in Ngorongoro, and Jackson tried his best to fix the car. The car could not be fixed but Jackson arranged for us to join another group for the final game drive in Ngorongoro. He ensured our safety during the situation and handled the car issue while we were still able to complete the last game drive. After the game drive, Meru Slopes also arranged a private transfer to take us back to Arusha from Ngorongoro. We were very pleased with how Meru Slopes handled the situation.
Overall, we are pleased with Meru Slopes’ tour and service. It made our safari trip a truly memorable experience.

A Life-Changing Safari — Beyond Every Expectation
There are trips you take, and then there are trips that change you. Sabi Sabi Bush Lodge is unequivocally the latter.
From the moment we arrived, it was clear this was no ordinary safari lodge. The team had an almost uncanny ability to anticipate every need before it was even expressed — a cold towel here, a perfectly timed sundowner there, a room detail personalized just for us. The staff don't just provide service; they provide presence, and that makes all the difference.
The food deserves its own accolade. Every meal was an event — fresh, inventive, and beautifully presented, whether served under the open sky or around a boma fire. It elevated what could have been a "nice camp meal" into something truly memorable.
But the real magic happened out in the bush. Our ranger and tracker were, without exaggeration, extraordinary. Their knowledge runs impossibly deep — we tracked and spotted all of the Big 5, which alone felt like a miracle, but that was just the beginning. They decoded the language of the bush for us: the medicinal secrets of plants most people would walk past without a second glance, the stories written in animal tracks, and at night, the vast, uninterrupted African sky — they turned a canopy of stars into a living astronomy lesson. We came home knowing more about this planet than we ever expected to.
Beyond the wildlife, beyond the food, beyond the flawless service — Sabi Sabi gave us something rarer: a genuine sense of wonder. It rekindled curiosity I didn't know had gone quiet.
A special mention must go to Safari.com and our consultant Candis, who made the entire journey seamless from the very first conversation. No hidden fees, no last-minute surprises, no stress — just thoughtful, expert planning that let us be fully present for every incredible moment. If you want a safari done right, start with them.
If you are even remotely considering it — go. Don't hesitate, don't wait for the "right time." Sabi Sabi Bush Lodge is, without question, the most extraordinary experience of my life.
