Wildlife Adventure Worth Trying!
I recently went on a safari, and it was a really enjoyable experience! I loved seeing the animals up close and learning interesting facts from the guide. It was a fun and memorable way to spend the day, and I’m glad I had the chance to go.

Activentures made our dream safari a reality!
My husband and I were married in a civil ceremony in 1993 and di not have time or money for a honeymoon. For many years we have dreamed of a safari to make memories that we could reflect on as we grow older. A chance meeting with Musa led to the safari adventure of our dreams!
I spoke with Musa about what our ideal safari adventure would look like and what we wanted to experience. He and Diana put together an adventure that was everything we wanted and so much more. They suggested things that we hadn't even thought of.
From the moment we boarded the Kenya Airlines flight to commerce to the beautiful continent of Africa until the last moment when we arrived back in New York, everything was perfect. I am a very "hands-on" planner and this was an adventure of which I had no concept of what to expect. The experienced team at Activenures knew just how to put together the most amazing experiences and anticipated all of our needs before we had even thought about them. Their collective knowledge was so helpful in planning and executing our dream anniversary trip. They did not miss any details. Our accommodations were amazing, comfortable and well planned. Our safety was considered a number one priority. So much so, that we never even considered it because we felt so safe and comfortable that we never had to.
The people who were assigned to guide us through Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda were extremely professional and their knowledge was unmatched. Musatu was our guide for the majority of our safari and we found him to be so very knowledgeable and seasoned. He was simply delightful and went above and beyond to show us his beautiful country with its amazing animals and even more amazing people.
The people of Africa are so gentle and kind. We felt very welcome at every place we visited.
We are so grateful to Activentures, Musa, Diana and Musatu for helping us realize our dream of getting to experience Africa in a way that was so personal and memorable. We can't say enough about the amazing experience that these folks put together for us. The 16 days we spent in Africa were so memorable without any glitches, without any problems and without any mix-ups. This is the kind of service you can only get with people who have a lot of experience with what they do.
We will carry our African adventure in our hearts for the rest of our lives!

Going on safari with Meru Slopes felt less like booking a tour and more like joining a top-tier wild
Going on safari with Meru Slopes felt less like booking a tour and more like joining a top-tier wildlife dream team.
Nuru, our guide, has an eyesight that defies biology. While other jeeps drove past bushes thinking they were… well, bushes, Nuru casually pointed out animals that apparently lived in another dimension. Leopards? Lions? Rare birds? He spotted everything — and always positioned the vehicle perfectly so we had the kind of views people usually only get from documentaries. In the evenings he turned into a philosopher-storyteller hybrid, sharing wisdom and tales that made dinner feel like a campfire with an old friend.
Gideon, our chef, is a magician disguised as a cook. The man produced feasts — plural! — in the middle of the wilderness, under conditions that would make most kitchens cry. Every meal was generous, delicious, and different from the one before. And he served everything with a smile big enough to light up the savannah.
And then there was Herman, second guide, driver, and quite possibly the kindest person on Earth. He was endlessly polite, endlessly helpful, and genuinely caring. He gave us an unforgettable tour through Arusha, and when our flight suddenly got rescheduled, he didn’t hesitate for a second — he offered, on his own, to drive us to the airport in the middle of the night. Who does that? Legends do.
Meru Slopes was an experience shaped by people who love what they do — and it shows. If you want wildlife, wonder and the warmest company imaginable, go with them.

Everything worked perfectly!
Everything worked perfectly, from communication before the trip, pick up and drop off, the organization with living and game drives. Perfect! Highly recommend.

A Safari Worth Every Moment
We had a problem with our flight and ended up arriving in Arusha about six hours late. To be clear, this had nothing to do with Oldbeast Vacations it was entirely due to the airline. Because of the delay, we missed our first day of safari in Tarangire and went straight to Manyara Best View Lodge. This lodge is magnificent. We would definitely have stayed an extra day just to enjoy its facilities and the stunning view.
On the second and third days, we did the safari in the Serengeti. It was an incredible experience. We saw many animals and were lucky to be near a group of lions just as it started to rain. Watching how they behaved in that moment was fascinating.
The accommodations, both at Bush Tembo Camp and Ang’ata Ngorongoro Camp, were excellent, very comfortable, with delicious food right in the heart of the savannah.
On the last day, we visited the Ngorongoro Crater. It was a foggy and overcast day, which made the descent into the crater feel even more dramatic. Truly unforgettable.
We didn’t manage to spot the Rhinoceros or the Leopard from the Big Five, but that’s just how nature is sometimes.
By the way, the SG Premium Resort, which served as our base in Arusha, is also an excellent hotel.
One important tip: we highly recommend arriving in Arusha at least one day before your safari starts. The local airlines in Tanzania can be quite unreliable, and delays like ours are not uncommon. Better to be safe and start your adventure stress-free.

Absolutely Amazing!
We had the perfect time with my family. Peter ensured that we had the best guide available for our Tour. From the vast Maasai Mara to the glorious Mountain Kilimanjaro in Amboseli and a cooling on the coastal beach, our tour could never have been better.
We will be back next year to explore the beauty of Serengeti and Mountain Gorillas.
Thanks African Paradise Safaris for the amazing tour. Kudos.

10/10 Experience
We entrusted Emmy with our honeymoon in Rwanda and he did not disappoint. It was not just his intimate knowledge of every aspect of the countries culture, heritage, and history but the true connection that was developed in just 4 days with him touring the windy roads of Kigali and Volcanoes National Park.
Emmy takes his work very seriously and is the consummate professional. With that said, every moment was shared with laughter, growth, and memories that will last forever. He knows when to allow a moment of silence or better yet when to ask a deeply thoughtful question to keep you engaged. His intuition on what the moment needs is second to none.
The tour he planned was logistical perfection and we will forever be grateful to call Rwanda a home away from home. Rwandans are truly some of the most beautiful people on this planet and we sincerely hope everyone gets the chance to see it through Emmy's eyes.

An Unforgettable Safari and the Perfect Proposal in Tanzania
Wooooow where do I even begin!!! This was the most serene experience myself and my fiancé have ever had. Wivi Agency were absolutely amazing in helping organize the entire trip. Not only did we come for an unforgettable safari, but it was also a special moment for me to propose to my fiancé. They helped with every single detail, including the setup of my dream proposal at Manyara Best View. I will never forget it!!!
Now the safari…
Absolutely magicalllllll. We arrived in Arusha and were greeted by Elias, who was an absolute gentleman from start to finish. He checked us in and explained the entire program for our 4-day safari (more than enough).
We were then greeted by our tour guide who, in all honesty, was beyond incredible. I’ve been on many trips, but I’ve never had any guide come close to the phenomenal Damian!! He was so much fun and truly made our trip even more special. Not only did he know every detail about the parks, wildlife, and landscapes, but thanks to him we managed to see the BIG FIVE!! Thank you, Damian, for being a rock star during this unforgettable journey. I would definitely request him again!!!
We are definitely coming back, and without a doubt, we will have Wivi Agency organize the entire journey. Worth every single penny!!!
Thank you for this once-in-a-lifetime experience!
