Amazing Safari Experience!!
5/5

Booked a private 8 days / 7 nights safari with Meru Slopes for our honeymoon and it was the absolute best experience ever. We spent a day in Tarangire, a day in Ngorongoro, and the rest of the time in Central and Northern Serengeti.

Our guide, Patrick, was AWESOME. He was extremely knowledgeable about the animals and was the best driver - he always made sure we were right in front of the action! He was also so warm and friendly and made sure we had the best time! We saw so many animals (leopards, cheetahs, lions, elephants, wildebeest migration, etc etc)!

Our accommodations for the safari were amazing. We did mid-range accommodations and the living spaces, food, and hosts/staff were excellent.

I highly recommend to book with Meru Slopes! They will make sure you have an amazing safari :)

Amazing safari with Meru Slopes
5/5

It has been an incredible experience! We have done a 6-day safari trip with Meru Slopes from Arusha, visiting Tarangire Park, Serengeti (we went up to the north) and Ngorongoro. We have done the safari with Mohamed as the driver, who is amazing! Very good driver, very good Spanish speaker driver and he has very good eyesight to see all the animals. Thanks to him we have seen the Big Five and we have been very lucky to see the wildebeest crossing the Mara River, as well as seeing giraffes, cheetahs, elephants, zebras and many more. They have been magical days! We would also like to thank Almachius very much, who helped us and advised us in the previous months with the doubts that we had. As a tip, we would encourage you to do the safari privately, we did it just the two of us and it is great to be able to stop as long as you want in each place, in addition to being very comfortable in the car and being able to move from one place to another to take good photos.

5/5

We finished yesterday our safari with you and we had to thank you so much. It was an incredible beautiful and unique experience. The nature was awesome and the people that guiding us, were very special. Robert knows everything about the animals and area and you can feel his passion for the nature and animals. He also spottet them realy fast. He always knows an answer to our questions and was in every moment of our trip friendly, professional and had an open ear to our wishes. We can highly recommend him.
Johana our cook made great different meals (and always more than enought) and spreads good vibes.. this was very nice, we also recommend him..
The booking proces with your office was simple easy and efficient, i appreciate that very much. You all do a great job!

Choose Meru Slopes Tour and relax, everything will be taken care of!
5/5

Meru Slopes Tours exceeded our expectations, I can recommend this company with a calm heart!
I guess, like everybody else, we were slightly sceptic and worried, but from the very beginning until the very end we felt in good hands. The communication with Almachius was excellent - he is very responsive, quick to react, adapt and adjust the program according to our individual needs. Not to forget his extreme patience answering all our questions and positivity! 😊 Amazing service! 🙌
Our greeting in the airport in the middle of the night was very smooth, we were safely accompanied to the hotel door and overall every second it felt structured and well organized throughout the whole trip. They have a lot of experience!
Lobulu was the best driver for our private tour with so many individual requests, we managed to spot even rear animals - he was very proffesional, attentive and with an excellent mood! Hakuna matata! 😁
Sleeping arrangements in budget camping were very well organized, sleeping bags clean and matresses were surprisingly comfy! Be prepared for colder night in Simba camping (near Ngorongoro), it's in the higher altitude, bring warm clothes. Don't expect hot shower in the budget camping option and you'll be fine! ☺️
Our chef is worth separate mention - the food during the Safari was better than in two different restaurants that we've tried in Arusha! It's simple, freshly made, tasty, creative! No stomach problems, only happy bellies 😊
Only best experience and memories with Meru Slopes Tours! Good luck, guys! 😊

Super Reliable, Honest, Professional
5/5

5 Star Safari!! From start to finish, all aspects of Meru Slopes was excellent. Gift Tembo was very responsive & timely in all our planning & payment communications. He even came to our final hotel in Arusha to hear first hand from us our experience & review. He asked for ways to improve as well. Since we were 100% satisfied, we could not offer any improvements.

Our safari guide & driver, Douglas, is an amazing guide with many years of experience in Tanzanian wildlife & parks. He is an exceptionally safe driver - we always felt comfortable & confident in the Land Cruiser. Every morning we found the truck to be clean & well serviced - so important on those rough, dusty roads of the parks.

We loved hearing his stories about the wildlife & Tanzanian culture - he was able to answer every question, providing a rich & informative experience. We especially loved that he shared his personal stories about his life & family - it made us feel that he trusted us too. He has the most wonderful smile & cheerful attitude. He worked so hard all day with only our interests in mind. We felt his joy as he experienced our's. Also - he is very friendly & we could see the friendship he shared with the other guides. This was important for us as the guides are thus willing to share the location of wildlife in the parks.

Douglas is an incredible guide, so amazing to just watch how he approached the wildlife. He knows the wildlife behavior so well that we watched in awe as he positioned the truck in just the right spot for us to get an up close view. With his years of experience he knows the park habitats so well he could anticipate what we would find. He would gently change the position of the truck to give us ample viewing & photo time.

Though we were not expecting to go to the northern Serengeti, Meru Slopes offered to change our itinerary because the tail end of the Great Migration was still active. The change gave us the opportunity to see the incredible behavior of the zebra & wildebeest as they nervously approached various Mara River shore options. Douglas was patient yet responsive to changing our location as the herds changed their's.

All of our lodging & meals exceeded our expectations. We had fabulous service, comfortable rooms, and healthy tasty meals.

This was the first safari for my husband & it was a special delight for me to see how thrilled he was with the safari. I've been on many safaris and was equally thrilled.

One of best experiences you can have
5/5

We have a dream safari experiences with Meru Slopes. Everything as good as one can expect, and truly dream come truth. Jerome manage our booking perfectly and do everything he could to resolve and book everything for us. Fidelis did an incredible tour around Arusha, doing everything we ask for.

Regarding the Safari itself it was one of the best experiences we ever had. Robert, our driver, is probably the best safari driver in Tanzania, he knew exactly where and when to be to see everything that is was there to be seen. And Dula, our cooker, cooked delicious meals every day. Always having hot and delicious food wherever we go.

I couldn't recommended enough, it was just perfect

Unforgettable safari experience of a lifetime!
5/5

We booked the 4-day Mara River Crossing safari and it was an experience of a lifetime! Meru Slopes went above and beyond to ensure we had the time of our lives, exceeding all our expectations. From our first contact, we felt we were in good hands. Jerome, our consultant, was informative and responsive, addressing all our queries promptly. Our guide, Mohamed, was fantastic—friendly, attentive, knowledgeable, with a great sense of humor and an impressive ability to spot animals from hundreds of meters away! Thanks to him, we saw nearly every wildlife in the Serengeti, which I believe wouldn’t have been possible without his expertise. The accommodations were also outstanding and comfortable, enhancing our overall experience. We highly recommend Meru Slopes for an unforgettable safari adventure!

Amazing
5/5

The Safari organized by Meru Sloppes was truly an unforgettable experience, filled with adventure and discovery. The entire program was meticulously planned, ensuring that every detail contributed to an extraordinary journey.

However, the true highlight was the exceptional performance of our guide, Daniel. His passion, knowledge, and unwavering dedication brought the experience to life in a way that words can't fully capture. Daniel’s ability to engage with the group and provide insightful commentary made the safari both educational and thrilling. He was the heart of the adventure, and quite frankly, he cannot retire! Guides like Daniel are irreplaceable, and his enthusiasm is what made this trip so memorable.

unforgettable wildlife experience
5/5

We booked the safari on relatively short notice, but from the very first interaction, Meru Slopes made us feel well taken care of. Our inquiry was handled promptly, and they were very accommodating to our wishes and our (student-friendly) budget. Daniel was an outstanding safari guide! With over 20 years of experience, he shared a wealth of knowledge, offering insightful explanations and fascinating stories throughout the journey. Despite the bumpy roads of the Serengeti and Ngorongoro, we always felt completely safe with him.
Accompanying us was the amazing chef, Johana, who treated us to the most delicious Tanzanian cuisine for three days straight. Every meal was a delight, and we’re already dreaming of getting our hands on those recipes! The itinerary was perfectly organized, making the most of our time – we saw an incredible variety of wildlife and had two unforgettable nights camping under the stars. Even while being surrounded by the wilderness, we always felt secure and well looked after.
The care didn't stop at the end of the safari: Herrmann ensured a smooth and comfortable transfer from Arusha to Kilimanjaro Airport. The entire experience was seamless from start to finish, with great service and personal attention every step of the way. We can wholeheartedly recommend the safari tour with Daniel and Johana – it was truly an experience of a lifetime!
