Amazing experience
Both guides were great and we were happy to see the largest gorilla family just two meters from us. The food and stay was excellent, including the service. We would highly recommend to travel with this agency.

Impressive professional service, excellent safari guide, cook and amazing wildlife!
My sister and I joined a 4 day safari to Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater with Meru Slopes Tours & Safaris. I was really impressed from the prompt responses to our beginning enquiries to the actual tour itself. We arrived at Arusha airport where someone was waiting to transport us to the hotel. We had a one night stay before and after the tour at the Arusha Tourist Inn Hotel included in our package. The hotel was clean, with hot showers and comfy beds with mosquito nets. They have a lovely restaurant where we enjoyed a delicious vegetable curry and fresh juice! The safari definitely exceeded my expectations for budget camping. The tents included a mattress and pillow, and sleeping bag if you needed. They were set up for us at the campsite, though we did help as I think its all part of the fun. We had amazing food cooked fresh for us everyday by our safari cook. Best cucumber soup ever! In terms of facilities the campsites had flushing toilets and showers - I would take an extra roll of loo paper next time! Our driver/guide had great local knowledge and did the best to help us to see lots of wildlife, which we did! Overall we had a fantastic experience and I would highly recommend Meru Slope Tours & Safaris. A huge thank you to Geofrey and the team!

Amazing!!
Being a solo traveller in East Africa, I was somewhat cautious about going on safari, however LEM carnivore tours were fantastic they tailor made my safari to fit my needs. Vincent organised my 4 day tour and was so accommodating. His communication was second to none ( even replying to my email at 4am) He organised my collection from my hostel and made sure I was able to join a safari group ( as i was limited on time).
The tour guide was so knowledgeable and spotted animals from a mile away. He was able get us so close to them without breaking any rules. He took his time driving around giving us ample time to take pictures and admire the animals (Unlike other tour guides who think they're on a rally drive. )
The chef took pride in what he served and all in all I can't fault the tour.
I had an unforgettable experience and can't rate LEM carnivore tours highly enough. Fantastic is an understatement.

This Blew Away My Expectations!
I recently returned from an amazing safari experience in Tanzania. I traveled there along with several members of my family; we were a group of 8. Initially there was a feeling of concern and hesitation because our overall price quote was so much lower than other friends of mine who have done similar safari's in Tanzania. Anna was so helpful and attentive to our questions and concerns and did a fantastic job making accommodations for us despite us being a large group and planning only a few weeks before the trip. She was very patient with us despite us changing itineraries and sending a plethora of emails. We were given two safari vehicles and had them to ourselves. The vehicles were more than large enough and equipped with device chargers, a drink cooler, and an easy-to-lift roof. I can't say enough about our drivers, Salehe and Oswald. They were the perfect combination of helpful, professional, courteous, and so fun! They made us feel like we had priority over other vehicles in giving us the best views of the animals. I would not hesitate to seek them out if and when I return. Our first safari day was at Lake Manyara which was a fantastic first day. We were fortunate to see lions in the trees, which is unique in the world only to that region. We stayed at Eileen's Trees Inn which was a short drive to Ngorongoro Crater. The lodge had very nice clean rooms with hot shower and a comfortable mattress. The food was outstanding and served in buffet manner. On the way to see Ngorongoro Crater was a visit to a Maasai village. I will say that it was interesting and enjoyable to interact with them and learn a bit about their culture. What left a slight bad taste in my mouth was the fact that it was a "show" and not authentic. They were also extremely pushy in selling us souvenirs which they "claim" are handmade there but are the same as the items seen in any gift shop in the city. They are also extremely highly priced and are practically forced upon us in unrelenting fashion. The visit to Ngorongoro Crater was truly spectacular with its diversity of animals, up-close encounters with lions and a nicely prepared box lunch under an acacia tree with a spectacular view. Our safari included a lot of travel time as we wanted to travel to the Mara River in the Northern Serengeti in hopes to see the great migration of wildebeest with a river crossing. Well, our hopes were fulfilled as we were able to witness all those things. The tent lodge where we stayed, Serengeti Heritage Camp, was MUCH higher than my expectations. The tents had as much room as a typical hotel room with a king bed, comfortable mattress, porcelain sink and flushing toilet, and hot shower. The food there was like a fine dining restaurant. The staff were so friendly and accommodating and so attentive to our needs such as luggage handling, etc. They also made us feel safe with all night guards to watch for animals, as our tents were obviously right there in the middle of the Serengeti with no fences. I had a curious zebra walking around my tent at night so come expecting to hear wildlife both far and up close! Overall I can't say enough about how wonderful my safari experience was and would not hesitate for a second to highly recommend Lion King Safari.

Awesome Safari at Masai Mara
The only wildlife I'd ever seen was in the zoo. I'm so blessed to be a part of this trip to see the African wildlife national geographic style in real life! Sachin has spoilt us rotten and shown a part of life that I was never exposed to. While technology has made this a global village and connected us with each other, Mowgli expeditions has helped me connect with nature and that's immensely satisfying beyond words. Am already looking forward to the next trip - Botswana or Congo? One must do such trips as often and as regularly as possible. My only request for the next trip is to have a break in the afternoons or have a day off in between to rest up.
