Beautiful area filled with amazing wildlife, fantastic scenery and friendly people!
My wife and I visited Ngorongoro Crater in the summer of 2017 and had an amazing time. Our stop here was part of a larger, week-long safari throughout Tanzania so our time was somewhat limited, but our first day began with beautiful panoramic views of the crater from above before later driving into the crater for a day of wildlife viewing. The vastness of the crater kept things from ever feeling crowded, and we enjoyed seeing a variety of animals including lions, giraffe, hippos, hyenas, wildebeest, gazelles and much more. Watching the sun go down as we drove out made for one of the best views during our time in Africa.
On our second day, we did a guided hike to Olmoti crater with a park ranger. While the terrain was somewhat steep, the views at the top were well worth it and we would highly recommend this trip as a nice alternative to driving around all day. Our guide was friendly and knowledgeable, and gave us lots of facts about the local area and animals.
Overall, our time in the Nogrongoro crater area was fantastic, and I wouldn't hesitate to return on a future trip to Africa or Tanzania.

Wildlife is a great host for the human guests.
Masai Mara, the name itself holds its own identity around the globe. It's a paradise for wildlife lovers. This was the very sentences which used to ring in my head before entering beautiful Kenya. And if I was to rate Kenya after my visit, on a scale of 5 then I would have given 6, leaving besides the bitter experience with our tour operator #tourkenyasafariheights, just because of them my rating would go down to 2.
Before travelling to Kenya, I and my friend searched on internet several times about tour operators conducting safaris. From them we shortlisted a few and ultimately finalized #tourkenyasafariheights. The agreed with the price us on all the criteria demanded by us without any terms and conditions.
It was a 6N7D tour which included as promised by #tourkenyasafariheights :
Day 1: Nairobi - Maasai Mara National Reserve
At 07:30 to 08:00, you will be picked up from your hotel and depart for the Maasai Mara National Reserve via the viewpoint of the Great Rift Valley and Narok Town for refueling and lunch. Afterward, you will proceed to the game reserve, arriving at the camp at 14:00. You will then have a little siesta and proceed on the first introduction game viewing at Maasai Mara National Reserve. You will return back to Masai ole moran
Day 2: Maasai Mara National Reserve
After breakfast, you will proceed on a full day game viewing within the reserve. The landscape is scenic savannah grassland on rolling hills. Maasai Mara National Reserve is the best park for game viewing in Kenya as it has an extensive road and track network which allows for close range viewing and photography. After the game viewing, you can have a break for your picnic lunch at the hippo pool, looking out for hippos and crocodiles. The dinner will be served and you will stay overnight at the Masai ole moran
Day 3: Maasai Mara National Reserve - Nakuru
Early in the morning, you will have a pre-breakfast game drive. After breakfast, you will depart the Mara Region for Nakuru and have lunch en-route with scenic views of Mount Longonot and Lake Naivasha from afar on the main highway. The dinner and overnight stay will at Flamingo Hill Camp
Day 4: Lake Nakuru National Park - Amboseli National Park
After breakfast, you will proceed on a game drive at Lake Nakuru National Park, known for its prolific birdlife including flamingoes. The park contains a sanctuary for the conservation of white rhinos while species like Cape buffalos and waterbucks can be seen near the shoreline. Afterward, you will drive to Amboseli National Park arriving late in the evening with game viewing en route to the camp. The dinner and overnight stay will be at Kibo Safari Camp
Day 5: Amboseli National Park
You will have a full day of game drives in this park which contains swampy grounds in which elephants and hippos bathe in abundance. A variety of plains game, antelopes, and birds can also be seen. You can also see Mount Kilimanjaro’s peak if weather conditions permit. Tour Kenya Safari Heights will cater for your picnic lunch before returning to Kibo Safari Camp
Day 6: Amboseli National Park - Nairobi
In the early morning, you will have a game viewing activity and then return to the LODGE for a full breakfast. Later on, you will be transferred back to Nairobi.
But, what was delivered to us was very different. Not a single pre-breakfast game drive was given to us and all the accommodations as promised by the #tourkenyasafariheights were changed. We used to stay @ about 45-30 mins distance from the main park entrance,because of which I felt time was wasted and I could have enjoyed more. Whereas the accommodations which were promised are very near to the entrance of the parks/inside the parks.
Everyday inbetween 2 parks the car driver of #tourkenyasafariheights would float new names of hotel in which they would provide accommodations for us. Which was really depressing and disturbing at the same time. Because of such uncertainties we failed to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the mountains and the lakes on our way.
Furthermore, I would like to mention that #tourkenyasafariheights had promised through messages on on our personal number. That #tourkenyasafariheights would provide lodging at a proper place for us at @Nairobi on the day we arrived and on the day we would depart. Which would be included in the package. It was very disappointing that on the day we arrived they provided accommodations for us @ hotel sunrise which is a pathetic hotel, location is not good. And on the day we arrived @Nairobi after completion of the tour , #tourkenyasafariheights refused to provide any accommodations which was further more disappointing in a foreign land.
Finally, I would suggest to tourists/travellers arriving 1st time. It is just because of the nature's own gift to the land that inspite of such irregularities I would suggest you to visit the place again and again. But be careful with such tour operators and ensure your bookings personally with the hotels which are promised initially by such tour operators.

Incredible once in a lifetime experience organized seamlessly
We just spent 10 days on honeymoon at Segera, Masai Mara (Angama Mara) and Zanzibar, all planned by Rose. It was an incredibly experience with impeccable service throughout. Rose's organization of the itinerary was flawless and made everything seamless in transit. Everywhere we went, we were met by friendly staff who guided us onto our next destination. The best part for me was Rose's responsiveness before and during the trip; she always got back to us promptly to answer questions. Couldn't recommend her more!

Victoria Falls/Chobe Tour was personalized, flexible, wonderful vacation
Joseph was responsive and helped us plan our tour to meet our particular needs. We stayed at Victoria Falls Safari Suites which was comfortable, great service and great viewing of animals at the watering hole. Loved Victoria Falls and Chobe, both the river cruise and game drive. Our tourguide Cryface was knowledgeable about the area and good company. We had a private tour experience for a very reasonable price, and received personalized, attentive service.

Fabulous week
Excellent communication, fast reply for any questions 24/7, reasonable prices. Very professional guide (Rocky) with great knowledge and good cook (Rama) on the tour, unbelievable breakfasts and dinners. We visited Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Lake Manyara, Arusha national - seems to be optimal combination. Additionally to traditional "car safari" we also had occasion to visit Masai Village and local village close to Lake Manyara park - great exeperience and oportunity to see real local life. We got more than we expected. Thank you very much SlopesTour team.

Richard made this the dream trip of a lifetime.
When you first meet Richard, you feel like you have known him all your life. He greets you with a huge smile and you immediately know he will be fun to take you on safaris. This was my first trip to Uganda and Richard organized every aspect to perfection. We visited Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary, Murchison Falls, Queen Elizabeth. We saw many animals, chimps, elephants, leopard, lions, hippo, hyena, flamingos, to name a few. Richard knew I like birds and African coffee, so he surprised me by purchasing a bird book and coffee for me. Richard is very patient and did an excellent job of making sure he had us in the right spot to take a perfect photo, no matter how long it took. He is very knowledgeable and a competent driver, as it hard to drive in Uganda. I also, loved the drive through the villages and the people. I definitely have to go back and have Richard for my guide.
