An unforgettable experience
We booked a 4 day safari with Meru slopes and had an unforgettable experience with them. I would highly recommend them to all and if I was to do a safari again would not hesitate booking with them again.
Booking
We got a quote from Geoffrey which was very reasonable for the 4 day safari and beat any other quote we had had. Geoffrey requested a 15% deposit to secure the booking which we paid and got confirmation from Geoffrey that it had been received. From booking to arrival he was always available on whatsapp to answer all questions which we found to be of great help.
Arrival
We arrived at Arusha airport an hour and a half later than expected. Emmanuel was waiting for us there. We apologised for the delay and that was the end of that. Not a single mention or complain about how he had to wait for us etc. He was jovial and entertained us with polite conversation.
Safari
We started at 6am and were advised there would be 4 others joining us. We had a wonderful group and we all got on well. The vehicle was equipped with a fridge and ample space for charging phone, cameras etc. The safari far exceeded any expectations we had. We managed to see the big 5 and many other animals including a cheetah. We were lucky enough to see a baby leopard. Our guide Freddie was just brilliant. I’m pretty sure he has eyes like an eagle as he was able to spot animals form a distance. He was very knowledgeable on the wildlife and answered all questions asked. We felt comfortable throughout the safari and never had a single instance where we felt he was rushing or taking too long. He made sure we were happy at all times.
Food
Godfrey was our chef for the trip and the food he prepared was sublime. The variety and portions were ample and we were never left hungry. He asked us all regarding our dietary requirements and as agreed was able to cater for the halal diet.
I would definitely recommend Meru slopes and would not hesitate booking with them. Geoffrey is more than accommodating and is available to contact from booking to the end. If you’re reading this and thinking about booking with Meru slopes I would advise to book with them and you will have an awesome time.

Fantastic tour and excellent guide!
We booked a private safari with Papa Musili, it was the second time that I traveled with Papa Musili Safaris and again the tour was absolutely amazing!
Before booking, we had a rough idea which National Parks to visit but we weren't sure about how to combine those and where to stay, so Willie from Papa Musili happily helped us to sort it out and in the end we had the perfect tour for us!
Everything went well, we were picked up at the airport, and met our guide right away. Willie is an outstanding guide, he knows so much about the animals, their habits and also about the plants and trees, so every single game drive was really delightful and very interesting.
We were always given several options for early and not-so-early game drives so that we really could enjoy the days just the way we liked it.
Even when we mentioned special requests on short notice, like we asked for traditional kenyan food, or another visit at Sheldrick's in Nairobi, Willie organized it for us.
I can definitely recommend Papa Musili Safaris, I traveled twice with them and when I come back to Kenya, I'll definitely book with them again. There's no better way to do a safari in Kenya!

Amazing experience
I chose the "4 Days Experience of Murchison Falls" and everything was just perfect! As a woman travelling alone and unfamiliar with the country I was concerned about safety, but I felt safe all the time. Reagan (commercial) and Stanley (guide) were very welcoming and ready to answer any question, they made sure all meals included were vegetarian, as requested. The car was quite large (seats 7 people + driver), clean and very comfortable, with a roof that opens so you can check the animals more easily. Pillows and bottles of water were also available.
My experience with Yala Safaris was very good and I would definitely recommend their services. Their price was one of the best in the market and the service was of high quality.
As for Murchison Falls, this is an amazing place where you can spot up close several animals. I saw giraffes, hippos, crocodiles, many birds, elephants and even a lioness with babies.

Roger Turski is knowledgeable, professional, competent, and addressed questions with clarity.
Having done some exploratory investigation on Botswana beforehand and relying on my previous trips to Africa, I presented my wish list to Safari Lifestyles which, in turn, addressed my requests quickly and within a budget I had presented. Safari Lifestyles and the safari experience were beyond expectations, a lifetime memory that has enriched my life. I feel privileged and humbled to have been able to connect to this beautiful part of the world and to witness the incredible bush and people of Botswana. Words cannot express my grateful thank you for a job well done by Safari Lifestyles.

Excellent organization and relationship.
The Agency has never disappointed us. We used it once for a trip for ourselves, but we recommended it several times for visiting friends, and they have always provided top notch service.

Amazing tour!
I spent more than 10 days across the south of Namibia with a private driver :) It was a great tour. I saw so many different and beautiful deserts with animals (oryx, horses, zebras, squirrels, a lot of kind of birds and... scorpions!). The camping camps and the lodges were very good, very clean, comfortable (with most of the time electricity and wifi). The people were very friendly, also the guide. He is a good driver, a good cook. I will never forget the funny jumpy car with Savannah :)
Thanks for this adventure!

extraordinary and very flexible
Our tour guide has managed to give us an exceptional holiday with many unique experiences. The plan was there, but there was always time for a few extras on the way. Thank you for the unforgettable time! We will be happy to travel with Explendor tours again.

all expectations met
We went on a 5 day camping safari and had a great time looking for all kind of wild animals at litterly any time of the day (morning and night game drives). The 5 days in Kruger NP gave a great impression of the park and it's inhabitants. The experienced guide was also driving safely not only in the park, but also all the way from Johannesburg to the park and back. The Tents were in good shape and even had a cosy bed. The food was basic but tasty in regards to the circumstances in the bush. All in all a great experience.

Unique experience with passionate people willing to share their lives and culture
the tour was very well organized and balanced between two different camps offering complementary experiences ; We liked most the Moremi Crossing lodge which is more confidential and its walking safari in the bush . People were very nice , sharing their passion .
Connections and transports were efficient .
We only faced two difficulties which were solved rapidly ;
program in the Chobe lodge was not clearly planned locally
planes from Chobe lodge were earlier than planned .
Overall an superb experience !
