Everything you can experience on safari with an experienced ranger
It’s been a month since our honeymoon in the Serengeti, but the memories are still as vivid as ever.
Andrew, who has 26 years of experience as a ranger, spent a whole week exploring the Serengeti with us, showing us incredible things and sharing his extensive knowledge along the way.
Since we booked a private safari, Andrew was both our guide and driver. His driving skills were excellent, but his guiding skills were simply beyond words. He never hesitated to answer any of our questions and always did his best to give us a thoughtful and informative answer. His ability to spot wildlife was absolutely incredible, and we often ended up returning to our lodge later than planned because there were just so many amazing animals to see!
What made the experience even more special was that Andrew never treated us as just clients. He always put our comfort and needs first, and his warm personality and entertaining stories kept us engaged even during long drives.
Andrew genuinely loves both animals and people, and he may well be the most wonderful person I met during my time in Tanzania — or perhaps even during all my travels.
I sometimes wonder if the animals could sense what a special person he is, too! We had the extraordinary experience of a young leopard crawling right underneath our vehicle, and we managed to spot all of the Big Five as well as the Ugly Five.
Our itinerary was quite tight, but Andrew did an amazing job of accommodating our schedule. On our last day, he even suggested changing the itinerary to a better option. Had we stuck to our original plan, we might not have made our flight on time. His judgment and consideration made all the difference.
Our safari was as safe, seamless, and unforgettable as it was because we had Andrew with us.
If you’re considering booking with Meru Slopes, don’t hesitate — just go for it! You’ll be in excellent hands. We couldn’t recommend them more highly!

An unforgettable experience
Our experience with Tetu and Benson was simply unforgettable.
From the very first moment, they were very friendly, generous and kind, making us feel comfortable and well looked after throughout the entire trip. The treatment was excellent from beginning to end.
The safari was incredible. We were lucky enough to see the Big Five , something we will always remember, and Tetu and Benson were always focused on finding the best locations and the best views for us, both in the Maasai Mara and Amboseli. You can really tell that they know the parks extremely well and that they genuinely enjoy what they do\.
I think the value for money is excellent, especially considering the attention, experience and effort they put into making everything perfect for us.
Without a doubt, I would recommend Tetu and Benson to anyone who wants to experience an authentic, special and well-organized safari. For us, it has been a truly unique and unforgettable experience.
Thank you so much for everything, Tetu and Benson. Asante!!!🦁🐘❤️

Great safari experience with our guide Fadi.
We had an amazing drives in Tarangire, Ngorongoro and Serengeti all thanks to our guide Fadi!
I totally recommend him as he was very professional, polite and cheerful.
Me, my wife and 9 year old son couldn't wait to start the day early and see so many beautiful animals.
Fadi was explaining interesting facts about Tanzania, the animals, their behavior and was really good at spotting them from far away.
We felt safe with him and I tend to think that for these 4 days we become really good friends.
He was always caring for the needs of my kid and was always asking us if we need anything.
Best guide and I think this made our experience great!
If anyone chooses Leopard tours which had great vehicles I totally recommend asking for Fadi, as he is what a man could wish for an experienced guide.
Company and organization were great, camps were also very good, clean and very interesting.
Look no further and book with Leopard tours!
And of course we managed to do the Big Five! (Saw black rhinos from very close, leopards that were elusive hanging on trees, all thanks to Fadi).
Thank you for everything Fadi, my friend!
Hopefully we will see each other again one day!

Very knowledgeable and friendly
We booked our tour with Jackline. Throughout the whole experience she was so thoughtful and kind. She tailored the safari to work around our dates and the parks we wanted to see as well as working within our budget.
Our tour was for 4 days. We seen all of the big 5 as well as many other animals. Our driver Racheed was extremely knowledgeable about each of the animals and also took the time to teach us some local Swahili words. Overall the experience was amazing and I would recommend to any others considering doing a tour.

Amazing
We had an amazing experience with Amara Africa Safaris! We visited Amboseli, Lake Nakuru, and the Maasai Mara, and everything was wonderful from start to finish. The service was excellent, and we absolutely fell in love with Kenya. We would definitely love to come back and do it all over again!
A special thank you to our guide, Anthony, who made the whole experience even better! He was always punctual, friendly, and had such a positive attitude. He went above and beyond to help us spot all the animals we wanted to see, even starting our game drives before sunrise to make the most of every day. He was also incredibly knowledgeable and shared so many interesting facts about the wildlife throughout our trip.
We couldn’t have asked for a better safari experience. Highly recommend Amara Africa Safaris, and especially Anthony! 🐘🦁

Amazing week long safari with Serengeti Smile
We did a week-long safari to Tarangire National Park, Ngorongoro Crater, and Central + Northern Serengeti. We had an amazing time, not only because the nature and wildlife we saw were epic, but also because everything was well organized and ran smoothly. Our accommodations and transportation were great from start to finish.
It was our first time on safari, and Piniel helped us customize our itinerary to match our interests (elephants are my favorite, so we spent an extra night and day in Tarangire), timelines, and budget. Our guide was an excellent driver, especially on the rough Serengeti terrain, and had years of knowledge and experience to share with us, especially when it came to spotting big cats.
Overall, Piniel was friendly, responsive, and made sure that everything was well arranged and ran smoothly. Even with a few minor hiccups, he made sure that everything was sorted before we arrived to the next stop. Thanks again for your hard work, we really enjoyed doing our safari with you!

Amazing private safari – excellent service and unforgettable experience
We had an amazing private safari with Balu Travel, visiting the Masai Mara and Amboseli. From the very beginning, communication was excellent and everything was very well organised.
A special mention to Tetu and Benson, our guides throughout these five days. They were incredibly kind, friendly and always willing to go the extra mile to make our experience as special as possible. They were also excellent at finding the best spots and positioning us perfectly to enjoy some unforgettable wildlife sightings, including the Big Five.
We were lucky enough to see an incredible variety of wildlife, including lions, leopards, elephants, rhinos, buffalos, giraffes, zebras and many other animals. The combination of the Masai Mara and Amboseli was fantastic, especially with the stunning views of Mount Kilimanjaro and the huge elephant herds.
The accommodation and meals were very good, and the whole trip felt comfortable and well organised from start to finish. Considering that it was a private safari with transfers, park fees, full board and accommodation included, we felt it offered excellent value for money.
We would definitely recommend Balu Travel to anyone looking for a reliable, well-organised and unforgettable safari experience in Kenya.
Thank you, Tetu and Benson, for making these five days so special! 🇰🇪
