Except the shopping schedule others are just perfect
They replied very simple but fast, and they really did everything they promised, before/ after pick-up and accomendation (very nice and comfortable ) , which is all satisfying !! the guide looks serious, but very soon I found he is so friendly and easy going. So much fun throughout our trip! And he is also very professional, telling us everything about the animals. He also has very sharp eyesight that he can always spot animals from a distance and tried everything to let us take the best photos. The cook is awesome too! Lunch box is with some limitations but the dinner was all wonderful the cook himself is very fun to talk too! I enjoyed my safari with them a lot. The only thing I dislike is we were taken to a Massai tribe, which didn’t list in our itinerary. Those people Tried to sell you souvenir desperately and the price is ridiculous ! And the chief of tribe asked me to donate to their school so straightforwardly like I owed him the money! The tribe isn’t worthy to visit because they are so impatient when introducing their culture , their only focus is how much money they can get from you! I would 100% recommend Meru Slope to all travelers but suggest saying NO to the tribe schedule directly .

The elephants are awesome, they are many!
It was an incredible day, full of magic, I was impressed to see so many elephants in their natural habitat, being so authentic and happy. I was happy to see so many colorful birds. I would have liked to have seen more cats (I only saw a lioness), I think there are more cats missing. The guide should know more about birds, he knew a lot about animals and interesting facts, but he lacked a bit more of that information. I loved the safari. Thank you very much

Amazing experience to see so many wild animals in a single location.
Like: amazing wildlife, spectacular Kilimanjaro scenery, clear Indian ocean waters with marine life and corrals, competent guides and friendly people, reasonable and clean accommodation;
to be improved: transportation infrastructure (took ages to drive from one part to another, some roads were so poor quality, looked more like off-road rally), excessive pressure on tourists to purchase souvenirs on the beach or national parks entrances

Our 4 days Viva Safaris is quite a good experience to see the wildlife.Viv
Viva Safari provide excellent service to their guests in every aspect. Patti provides quick response and advice to us to join the Safari tour.
They provide the excellent service and tours as to the printed itinenary, nothing skipped. My daughter and I really enjoy our trip there.

Beautiful nature and delightful mountain gorillas!
Our trip was very well organized, all the lodges were of good quality an our guide George was piece of gold. He knew all the birds we saw, found lions in high grass impossible to see to unexperienced eye and took good care of us.
There was only one problem - the car was not in the best condition. It did not start without pushing or pulling and so we could not shut down the engine during game drives. Also during the night safari, when ranger saw some red glowing eyes in the darkness, our engine shut down and we had to get out to pull the car and so we lost the animal.
My conclusion from our trip to Uganda:
if you are for:
lots of animals - go to Serengeti;
chimpanzees - go to nearest zoo (bad luck for us - this was second time this year they were unable to trek the chimpanzee's);
gorillas, birding, beautiful landscapes, friendly people - go to Uganda;
Best park in my opinion was Murchison Falls and safari by boat from Mweya peninsula along Kazinga channel was very nice.
Apart from prementioned problems we found our trip satisfactory.
I recommended Destination Jungle Safaris and especially guide George.

Review about Botswana by Catalina Tecas
I think there are more predators missing in the park ... the rest is great

Attentive to our needs and made adjustments were required
We were on a photographic safari and Vuriva understood and made adjustments as necessary to meet our photographic needs. They adjusted starting times and breakfast/lunch to make for the best times for light and animal activity. We had some problems early on with communications with one driver but Vuriva quickly fixed the problem. Their attentiveness to our needs was impressive.

Almost perfect! 4th time on safari arranged by All Seasons!
This was my 4th trip with All Seasons and has likely been the best safari I’ve been on thus far. On previous trips we did an all driving safari or combined driving and flying. On this occasion because I was traveling with family and friends and we wanted to make the most of every day, we did an all flying safari using camp/lodge guides. We stayed at Ol Donyo Lodge in the Chyulu Hills, Samburu Intrepids, Mara Olare Kempinski, Giraffe Manor and The Emakoko. The different places were amazing with Samburu Intrepids being the one we liked least. However, our guide at Samburu Intrepids was great and we saw a ton of wildlife and it was very close to Save the Elephants which we managed to visit. We started planning this trip about 18 months in advance and it took a lot of coordination and back and forth emails with both Alex and Meshack at All Seasons. I can be a real pain and want to know every detail and have everything work out perfectly, so I was in constant communication with them to ensure this was a trip of a lifetime for us, my family, and my friends. They were extremely patient with me. All Seasons was able to offer us the best price for this itinerary and managed to confirm all reservations despite some last-minute changes we requested. I did miss having some All Seasons guides we have used in the past, like Daniel and Peter, but we just didn’t have the time for a driving safari on this occasion. They only need to improve a little bit in their organizational skills to be perfect and they’re certainly heading in the right direction. However, if you don’t mind following-up when you have any questions or doubts, All Seasons will be able to offer you a safari of a lifetime for the best price possible. I do hope to continue to use their services in the near future and to continue recommending them to family and friends. Thanks again for a wonderful trip!

Wonderful time at Tanzania
Everything, really everything was perfect! Kelvin Papai Your organizing was top. Guide Johnson - with You my son Paul (21) and me (61) would go everywhere! Accommodation all in all very fine with the highlight Ngorongoro Coffee Farm House. The Ngorongoro Crater seems to be the paradize on earth.
We will never forget this days and hope to see You back!
