Amazing safari
We have just returned from a 6 day safari with Meru slopes, we went with the company due to their good reviews and it did not disappoint , from booking to the safari itself the experience and service was excellent. Our guide was very knowledgable and addressed any concerns immediately- we were able to see everything apart from a leopard (not without the guide trying, nobody else saw one either) including lions hunting , our chef was amazing and the food was great. The alcohol included was also a great touch as many other budget safaris didn’t have this. Overall myself and my mate would 100% recommend this company if you are looking for a good safari.

Five star experience with Meru Slopes!
An absolute five star experience with Meru Slopes!
We chose a 6 days Safari, we spent two nights in Fanaka Lodge and 3 nights camping.
We visited Tarangire, Serengueti, Ngorongoro and Lake Manyara.
Jerome was our travel consultant, contact with him was very easy and replied kindly and quickly to all of my questions (that were many!). It was definitely one of the things that made me choose Meru Slopes.
Everything went just as expected and explained in the brochure.
They picked us up from the airport (with a nice car with courtesy coca cola and water) and took us to the hotel, which is fine for the night previous and after the safari. It has AC and a diner with meal included. They saved our big luggage during the safari.
The safari van was great, a Toyota Land Cruiser in perfect condition, with a cooler to keep water, coca cola and beer in the perfect temp. We could also charge our phones, camera and torches just fine, and we had wifi all the way!
Our guide was Florian, he was excellent! Very well experienced, he knew where it was most likely to find the animals. He got us to see lions hunting, three times!! He was a very skilled driver, the roads are not in great condition and since we went in rainy season it got pretty muddy, but that was not a problem! He also gave us explanations about animals, their behavior and about flora too!
Food was another highlight in this trip, while other companies get plain lunch boxes, our chef Dulla spoiled us with home made food! Every afternoon he made fresh bread for dinner, he also gave us some popcorn to accompany the sunset until it was dinner time.
We were supplied with bottled water, got every amount we wanted and also coca cola and beers.
The camping experience was amazing, going to sleep hearing the animals around is something very unique and one of a kind experience! We heard how wild animals fed just next to our tent, so if you are adventurous, I recommend to camp! But there are options with lodges too if you are not up to it. If you are going in rainy season like us, rain is expected. We had two nights with heavy rains, while we saw how other companies got soaked, our tents allowed us to stay perfectly dry! Everything worked fine. And at simba camp there was even hot water to shower.
We saw the big five! It depends on luck mostly and a bit of patience too, leopards are hard to spot, we only got see one once. We also saw many other animals like hippos, zebras, wildebeest, giraffes, elephants, tortoises, monkeys, lots of birds, and different kind of antelopes (and learn to recognize them!) Big highlight was the big migration! Weren’t expecting to seeing it because of the season but we got lucky!
I highly recommend to hire Meru Slopes. It is a local company, I think it is important to support local business. And also, for what I have seen, they provide the best price - quality relation.
Hopefully will have the chance to come back! Thanks for everything!

Exceptional Safari Experience in East Africa
We had an incredibly positive experience with Meru Slopes during our safari in East Africa. From the very beginning, the team was highly attentive to our needs and preferences. They worked closely with us to tailor the trip, considering everything from the choice of national parks to selecting the right accommodations.
Our guide, Douglas, truly made the experience unforgettable. His knowledge of the African wilderness was exceptional, and his passion for wildlife was evident throughout the journey. He was always ready to share insights, answer our endless questions, and, most impressively, he was able to locate specific animals we had hoped to see. His expertise and enthusiasm really added to the overall experience, and we cannot recommend him enough as a guide.
Meru Slopes executed everything according to plan, from our smooth arrival at Kilimanjaro Airport to the seamless transfer back at the end of the safari. The entire trip was well-organized, and we felt taken care of every step of the way. We can only speak highly of our time with Meru Slopes, and we would not hesitate to choose them again for future safaris.

8 day bucket list trip. The trip was mind blowing. We will be back and we will use Meru Slopes.
We highly recommend Meru Slopes! We are home after our incredible safari and we just keep looking at the pictures and reliving this amazing experience :))) It more than exceeded our expectations. We chose an 8 day safari, Jerome Hotti was our contact and he put together an excellent itinerary for mid-February. Godfrey was our guide, we love him, he was absolutely phenomenal. His passion for what he does is evident, he put us on the big 5, he found the animals effortlessly. Godfrey was extremely polite and reliable, we had the best time with him. We would discuss our morning starting time at dinner the night before and he would have the Land Cruiser ready to go the next day. He also took pictures every time I requested! :) The whole trip is a highlight reel, he made us feel comfortable and safe while at the same time getting us up close to the wildlife. He has such knowledge of the land and animals, every day we learned something new. We have to add a comment about honesty and trust. When dealing with a local company over 8000 miles away you have to trust them. We initially put the deposit down 4 years ago but had to reschedule. The second attempt also fell apart and we gave up. When we contacted Meru Slopes over 3 years later they were able to track down the deposit and use it on this trip. Reputable company, wonderful experience all around. We thought it would be a once-in-a-lifetime experience but it was so good we are planning on going back and using Meru Slopes again.

Incredible safari experience
Our tour with Meru Slopes was incredible. Great communication beforehand with prompt response to questions. They picked us up from the airport even though our flight arrived at 2:45 am! Our tour guide Douglas was fantastic. He was very experienced and knowledgeable and overall fun to be around. The food was awesome with hot lunches every day (no boxed lunches for us!). I definitely recommend them to anyone looking to go on safari!
