A once in a lifetime experience
There are not enough positive words to explain our trip with Meru Slopes. Everything was seamless. From initially booking the trip, they answered any questions/queries we had extremely promptly. It was our first time on a safari so we had a few questions, however, we were put at ease and made to feel like family straight away. We landed at Arusha and our driver was there promptly and showed us Arusha’s history on route to our first stop. All of the accommodations selected were amazing - very friendly staff and excellent food choices all over. Tanzanian locals are extremely helpful and nothing was ‘too small for them’.
And for the main highlight - our safari driver, Asantaeli. We couldn’t have asked for a better tour guide. Every day he greeted us with a smile and his friendly personality. He made every game drive memorable and provided extra information into the history of the land and animals and made sure we saw all the amazing and wonder sites Tanzania had to offer. We were very lucky in our drives to see everything we could have imagined (and most animals at very very close range). The communication between the drivers meant that we were able to get good sightings of animal such as lions, cheetahs and even Rhinos!
We couldn’t recommend Asantaeli and the rest of the team at Meru slopes more and will recommend to everyone we know. Thank you so much and we cannot wait to return!
A Perfect Choice for Our First Safari Adventure
At this moment, I am back home with a joyful heart, ready to pen down this heartfelt review.
Before our trip, we compared several tour companies on Safaribookings and finally chose Meru Slope. Looking back, selecting Meru Slope as our guide for our first African safari was the best decision we could have made.
From the beginning, Manager Almachius made us feel at ease with his timely responses on WhatsApp, answering all our questions. Upon our arrival, he personally greeted us at the hotel, thoroughly explaining the itinerary. On the last day of our journey, Almachius came to the hotel to see us off, which deeply touched us. This personal warmth made us feel like we had a true friend in Tanzania, not just a service provider.
Our safari guide, Mr. Florian, was incredibly patient, professional, and friendly. With his extensive knowledge of safari wildlife and excellent driving skills, he accompanied us on our four-day safari. Thanks to his experience, we spotted the Big Five on the vast plains of the Serengeti and captured many breathtaking moments. By the way, Florian has an amazing Samsung phone that takes much clearer photos than iPhones—so much so that I borrowed it to take some pictures! Florian also answered all our questions about the safari with great expertise. Moreover, he was thoughtful enough to remember our favorite vegetables, ensuring that every picnic was filled with fresh and delicious meals.
A special shout-out goes to the warm, friendly, and energetic Victor, who waited two hours to pick us up at the airport on the first day. Despite the delay, he greeted us with a big smile, played great music in the car, and kept us entertained with his fun questions. His enthusiasm for his work was contagious. On the last day, Victor took us to Moshi Town, where we admired the pristine beauty of Kilimanjaro’s snow-capped peak. He also introduced us to Tanzania’s hidden treasure—a dreamy natural blue forest pool. There, we even enjoyed a unique fish massage, which truly made our day!
Every day, the accommodations and meals were excellent. We especially loved Arusha Planet Lodge and Embalakai Ngorongoro Camp. The former felt like a garden retreat in Bali, while the latter, situated between a Maasai village and an acacia forest, offered both cultural richness and breathtaking wildlife views. We spotted groups of giraffes surrounding the campground and that was a legit Alice wonderland. The staff were incredibly friendly, the rooms were spotless, and the location was simply magical. We wish we could have stayed there longer!
Finally, a huge thank you to Victor, Florian, and Almachius for making our Tanzanian journey unforgettable. Meru Slope provided us with not just a safari, but a once-in-a-lifetime adventure filled with memories to cherish forever. We wholeheartedly recommend Meru Slope to anyone considering a trip to Tanzania. Best wishes for your continued success!
One of the most incredible experiences of my life.
One of the most incredible experiences of my life. We spent one day in Tarangire, three days between Serengeti and Ndutu to witness the Great Migration, and one day in Ngorongoro, and everything was perfect. Our guide, Salehe, was extremely knowledgeable, answered all our questions, and made us feel in excellent hands—much of this amazing experience is thanks to him. The locations were stunning, and even in the tented lodges within the parks, the services and staff were top-notch. The organization was flawless, and everyone was very accommodating, even to needs that went beyond the safari itself.
Amazing!
We were taken care of from A to Z.
From the arrival at Arusha airport, until the departure from it. They organized everything. Everything was very well done. The food was very good, to drink, to eat at will.
The parks were great, we were very lucky to see 4/5 big five and many others! Taken on board the vehicle. Everything was great.

Extremely knowledgeable, so likable, very patient, cheerful and helpful.
Best adventure ever! Our guide Douglas was outstanding and filled each day with amazing views of zebras, wildebeests, giraffes, elephants, buffalo, antelopes, and birds. And lions, cheetahs and even elusive leopards were spotted.
We really enjoyed the easy-going banter that our guide had with his colleagues. It made the trip so pleasant and stress free.
