Meru Slopes goes above and beyond
Meru Slopes was excellent to work with to set up my 5 day safari. I wanted to customize some aspects of my safari so had quite a few requests (specific start date, wanted to join a group despite being a solo traveler, upgraded lodging, etc) and emailed >10 different companies for quotes and options. Meru Slopes got back to me quickly and put together several different quotes and options based on what I was looking for. They were the only company who actually was able to make an itinerary that fit what I wanted and it ended up being very reasonably priced.
The safari itself was excellent. My guide was Salehe and he has been doing this for over a decade. His expertise is obvious - he helped out multiple other drivers when they got stuck but we never had any issues whatsoever with our car and I felt very safe and comfortable with his driving. We also were able to see all of the Big 5 along with countless other species. Salehe was the first guide to spot quite a few animals including two rhino in Ngorongoro Crater, which can be one of the harder animals to find. We got amazing pictures to the point where a random person sitting next to me on the plane ride home was in awe of my lion, giraffe, and elephant photos. Our chef Buga was also great and was able to easily accommodate one member of our group who was vegetarian while making delicious food for everyone.
I was able to pay for my safari with credit card the day before the trip started, which was important to me as I did not want to travel across the world with thousands of dollars in cash. Not all companies allow this; in fact a fellow traveler almost had to cancel his safari as he was unaware that his company only accepted cash.
I ended up having an extra full day at the end of my time in Tanzania and actually messaged the owner of Meru Slopes to set up a coffee/waterfall tour. He got back to me that same night and a guide was waiting for me at my hotel the next am at 7:30. Again, my guide Herman was fantastic - he was engaging and shared a lot about Tanzanian culture and day to day life that I hadn't learned. He also stopped and picked up street corn as well as getting local bananas for me to try. He helped me with some of the slippery spots on the waterfall hike and additionally brought my luggage into the airport for me.
Overall Meru Slopes went above and beyond with everything I asked for. Their guides were excellent at what they do and clearly some of the best in the business. I would not hesitate to use them again and plan to recommend Meru Slopes for any of my friends traveling to Tanzania in the future.

Extremely professional and heed to your needs
Absolutely Beautiful tour spanning over two countries - Zimbabwe and Botswana. We went as a family of 3 and everything was absolutely breathtaking. The planning was done perfectly, and we managed to see many animals over the course of this trip. We were also vegetarian and it was so easy to get food according to our dietary requirements. Got to see so many animals including Giraffes, Ostriches, Elephants, Hippos, Zebras and Lions. The tour also accommodates for optional activities that you would like to do.

Amazing 6 days in the wild
Our 6-day tour included only one and a half days in Masai Mara Park. When planning your trip, consider allocating more time there.
And here is what we observed in Amboseli https://youtu.be/_nxYM3Q7B68

PERFECT
Hi Micheal,
Thank you so much for an amazing experience. My wonderful experience started right from picking us up at the hotel in Rosebank. Anthony is amazing, friendly, helpful and a fantastic giude. He eased my worries of traveling alone in just a few minutes and I was off to have fun. The hotel - Rissington Inn - is amazingly beautiful. Every staff member at hotel and safari guide and driver on return (Thobo) were fantastic and went out their way to help. I would return with family and do it all again and give you and your team a 100/10.

A very capable safari tour operator
Wasili Kenya Safaris is providing outstanding service with attention to every planning detail and second to none. An epic adventure! All issues that can be controlled were impeccably managed in a secure and trustworthy manner: I had very little to worry about in that respect; pick up, drop off, vehicle and choice of hotel were exemplary; Wasili Kenya Safaris simply got it all done right. The weather and game viewing are always partially a matter ok luck, but also a matter of expert guiding, Julius and team are second to none. We saw tusker elephants, lions. Cheetah etc, while others were left wondering. Wasili Kenya Safaris were outstanding … it was simply an Eepic adventure. I doubt you will find better. Just epic! Thank you Julius and team. Epic!

Anna and Chris were thorough, thoughtful and a joy to have as a tour guides
I was recently in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania for a few days before I went to Zanzibar. I booked a City Tour with Dove Adventures. Anna and Chris were accommodating in my pickup time. The vehicle was clean and the A/C worked great! Anna's knowledge of the City was incredible. Part of the tour included the National Museum. I learned so much about Tanzanian history. Again, Anna shined. The tour included a local crafts market for shopping, as well as lunch in a wonderful area, called Slip Away by the Water. Overall, it was a great and extremely informative day!
In addition, I received a pick-up from the Ferry terminal and transferred to the airport the day I left Tanzania. Anna and her driver were both efficient and friendly and walked me into the airport and provided guidance! I highly recommend Dove Adventures!
