A wonderful safari made unforgettable by our driver Jon
★★★★★
A perfectly organized safari with an exceptionally dedicated driver – highly recommended!
Our two-day safari with Serengeti Savanna Adventures from Zanzibar to mainland Tanzania was an all-around wonderful experience. From the airport pickup to our overnight stay at the lodge, everything ran smoothly. Thanks to the excellent organization, we did not have to worry about a thing and could simply relax and enjoy the trip.
If you have the opportunity to choose your driver: Ask for Jon! He is warm, funny, helpful, and incredibly patient. Right from the beginning, I asked him a thousand questions: What kind of hut is that? Why are people wearing those clothes? What is growing on that tree? Jon answered every question in detail and never made me feel as though I was asking too much. 😄
He was also immediately there for us in a difficult situation: When my boyfriend suddenly suffered from severe stomach problems, Jon accompanied him to a pharmacy and helped him find the right medication. On another occasion, we could only pay in cash but did not have any with us. Without hesitation, he stepped in and, trusting us completely, even treated us to a coffee. ❤️
Throughout the entire safari, I always felt safe with Jon. Some of the other safari vehicles drove very wildly and quickly, but Jon placed great importance on making sure we arrived safely. At the same time, he did everything he could to show us as many animals as possible. And he succeeded: We saw every animal we had hoped to see except a rhino!
What made the experience especially wonderful, however, was not only observing the animals but also spending time with Jon. We could laugh with him, stay curious, and share our impressions. The two days with him were simply fantastic.
Our conclusion: Serengeti Savanna Adventures is excellently organized, and Jon makes the safari an unforgettable experience through his patience, helpfulness, and great sense of humor. We would go on safari with him again at any time and recommend him without reservation! 🐘🦁

Outstanding Safari with Meru Slopes!
I highly recommend booking with Meru Slopes Safaris. From start to finish, the service, reliability, and value for money for a mid-range safari were exceptional.
Planning with Gift Tembo was seamless. Communication was quick and easy via both email and WhatsApp, which was great! His flexibility was paramount to our trip; even after flight changes and schedule adjustments, he adjusted our itinerary effortlessly and without complaint, including when I wanted to add a birding adventure directly from the airport at 8am!
Our guide, Ombeni, made the tour itself unforgettable. As avid birdwatchers and wildlife lovers, we greatly appreciated his patience and deep knowledge, whether stopping to check if a bird was an eagle or a vulture, or tracking wildlife. His patience paid off when he positioned us in a prime spot for a Great Migration river crossing. He also found us a male lion having a water buffalo breakfast near our lodge, a kill the lionesses had made the night before right outside.
Every accommodation was lovely, comfortable, and a fantastic value. Meru Slopes delivered a trip that exceeded our highest expectations!

A wonderful and stress-free family trip with Dagiztravel
We had a short family trip to Uganda planned and reached out to Dagiztravel to help us organise everything. Travelling with a toddler and a baby can be quite a challenge, so having someone we could trust to take care of the practical details made such a big difference.
From accommodation and itinerary planning to transportation, Dagiztravel was there to help us throughout the trip. They took the time to understand what would work best for our family and helped us choose comfortable and family-friendly accommodation.
One thing we especially appreciated was having a professional driver with us throughout our stay. Our driver, Christopher, was very patient, careful, and helpful throughout the trip. We always felt well taken care of, and he was very understanding of our needs as a family travelling with two small children. Our baby even had a car seat provided, which gave us extra peace of mind and made travelling much easier.
What we appreciated most was how smooth and worry-free the whole experience felt. We could focus on enjoying our time together as a family instead of worrying about transport, accommodation, or how to organise each day.
A big thank you to Dagiztravel, and especially our travel coordinator Douglas, for helping make our Uganda trip such a lovely experience! We truly appreciated the care, patience, and attention they gave us throughout our trip.
We would happily recommend Dagiztravel to other families, especially those travelling with young children. ❤️

A value for money experience.
My emperors with Axis Africa was very good. Our guide, Robert, was knowledgeable about the animals we saw and I learned a lot. He was friendly and had a good sense of humour, bringing levity to various moments. We saw all of the big five and the vehicles was positioned for optimum viewing. I highly recommend this tour and Robert as a guide.

My expectations about the safari have improved. Richard is a 10.
Richard was amazing with us. A very attentive and cheerful person, always hoping that everything and everyone is comfortable. With 17 years of Masai Mara touring experience, he knows the park like it's home. He promised us to see the big 5 and we saw them. Really grateful for everything. Thank you!

Excellent guide and wonderful staffs
We were very happy with our guide from the Axis Africa Safaris, Dennis Wmangi.
Dennis is a very friendly guide, also knowledgeable, always happy to answer all our questions, while at the same time maintaining a very respectful and comfortable boundary with his guests.
He was always punctual—every morning, by the time we arrived the car, he was already there, and the vehicle was spotless and well organised: drinking water and even our slippers were already placed neatly by our seats.
What impressed us most was his experience and extraordinary ability to read wildlife. He could often anticipate where an animal was likely to move and position the vehicle in exactly the right place before anything happened. His eyesight was remarkable as well. On one occasion, while we were driving, he spotted a rhino on a hillside roughly 1–2 km away—something we would never have noticed ourselves. He immediately drove us there and alerted other guides so they could find it too.
His driving skills were equally impressive. Whether navigating the rough, uneven tracks inside the parks or busy highways in the countryside, he always drove efficiently while keeping us safe and comfortable.
We couldn’t have asked for a better guide for our first African safari. His professionalism, knowledge, attention to detail, and genuineness made the experience truly special.
We would happily recommend him to anyone planning a safari in Kenya!

Amazing experience
We’ve just came back from a two days safari in Tarangire and Ngorongoro Crater National Parks, lead by our super kind and exhaustive guide Allen. Thanks to him we enjoyed meeting all the big five, also the rare Leopard and a lot of Rinos! The organization has been very good despite of the big distances between the parks. Allen has given us a lot of information in a good italian, which is not a given. Total reliability from all the point of views: we got a torre twice and, despite of this, we went on with our tour respecting timings. We sincerely reccomend this organization and Allen ad a guide to enjoy this once of a lifetime esperience in the best way possible.
