Meri Slopes excellent service makes the experience unique and memorable!
I would chose Meru slopes 100 times!
The communication before the travel made us feeling very comfortable. Gift was our reference person and always ready to answer our emails!
The guide Moody (Mohammed) is extremely knowledgeable and knows every inch of the park, you feel your time is very well managed!
And Rashidi, our cook was taking care of our dietary requests!
The value of the experience is excellent for a very reasonable price!
We were really immerse in the feeling of safari !!!

5 stars start to finish
This organisation deserves all stars!
Our guide/driver Mohamed (Moody for friends) was so well-connected that we were always informed about where the action was taking place. We’ve been so lucky to see the big 5, including lions hunting a buffalo etc.
The chef (Rashidi) was preparing nice meals across the days taking into account dietary restrictions.
Communication with Gift before the trip was easy, straightforward and transparant. The trip itself was beyond great.
Thank you!!

Very professional and resolute
Local company with reasonable prices and very, very professional.
In the organisation prior to the safari, they give you a very clear explanation of the whole programme and the prices. They deliver 100% of what they promise.
In addition, they solve all your doubts and take very little time to answer. The communication by WhatsApp was excellent.
The whole organisation before, during and after the trip was extraordinary thanks to Armando who solved many doubts and helped us to plan the trip to perfection, adapting to our requests. We would like to thank him for his dedication.
During the trip they do what they promised and more. They always try to adapt to your needs, exceeding the experience by far.
Our guide Simon spoke very good Spanish and provided us with a lot of information. In addition to this, he was very helpful and good-humoured.
The driver Nuru is a great driver and professional, we felt very safe with his driving.
Both of them were always willing, always in a good mood and always concerned that we would see the animals as well as possible.
On the first day we had a problem with the vehicle which they solved super fast so we were able to start the tour without any problem.
We also had a problem with our flights that we took on our own, they helped us and solved the problem when they didn't have to.
What I want to put on record with all this, is that during the whole time (before the trip and after) you feel very supported and they give you security in everything they do.
The cars are very well maintained and well prepared. They also have a fridge and drinks included during the whole trip.
When we arrived in Tanzania, we saw that it is a very important local company with many years of experience and a good reputation.
They also employ a lot of local people. It was a pleasant surprise.

Meru Slopers help us living unforgettable experiences!
Nixon was our transfer from Airport to the accomodation, he makes us feeling welcome since the first time we met, he was kind and friendly with us and we appreciate it very much!
Douglas was the driver and guide during the three days safari and it was wonderful! His knowledge about the nature, the animals and vegetation is incredible, he explained us everything we asked ti him and he was happy and proud to show us how is wonderful the world around us.
Moshi was our personal cooker, he was very funny and he made enjoying every typical Tanzanian meal we did!
Now we can prepare the typical Chapati only thanks to Moshi!! He paid attention to us every moment cooking with passion and enjoying with us all the time together!
Almachius was our reference for planning our trip and during the travel, he is very kind and gave answer to all our requests!
Last day he came with us walking between the Arusha streets and let we see the life in the city! It was amazing!
I'm sure that this travel hand't be the same if we did it without Meru Slopers!
For this reanson and for their welcome and friendly spirit they are the best agency to have experiences with HAKUNA MATATA!!
You are the best!
Asante Sana

5 star experience from start to finish!
Almachius worked with me to create the perfect 6 day safari itinerary for our group of 6 and then answered all the questions I had before we arrived. Herman was waiting for us at the airport when we arrived in KRO and took us to our first lodge. Douglas picked us up the next morning and was an outstanding guide for our six days. He is funny, patient, passionate about what he does and has an incredible knowledge of Tanzanian wildlife and culture that he shared with us. We saw more animals up close than we could have imagined. All the lodging, including the tent camps were great, as was the food and our safari jeep. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I highly recommend Meru Slopes and Douglas if you’re looking for an outstanding safari

The best of Tanzania
If I were to return to Tanzania, I would choose Meru Slopes again. I have no doubt. Before choosing them, I did a very extensive search with many agencies, both Spanish and Tanzanian. I read reviews, looked at forums, searched on social networks... finally I decided on them because the references were very good and the price was absolutely different. Communication with the agency was always easy, fast and fluid. Jerome took care of everything, he sent us a quote that fit our wishes, you can add days, remove days, upgrade or downgrade. They fix it immediately and send you a quote again. In addition, they advise you on many aspects such as recommended tips, appropriate clothing, and make sure everything is ready for your arrival. Payment is made by transfer via Revolut so it couldn't be easier. Once on the safari (10 days in total), we not only saw all the possible animals, but also those that I could not even imagine. And a large part of the success of the safari is due to the jeep driver and the guide. Both of them have made a perfect combination to put the car in the best place, to spot where the animals are from miles away and to advise you on the best options to make the safari a success. You just have to let yourself go and trust them. Special thanks to Lobulu, Dani, Fidelis, Oscar and Victor. They have all been part of our trip in Tanzania. Lobulu, the driver, has been key. He has taken us with total safety, which is something that should not be overlooked. We have seen other jeeps from very, very famous agencies doing atrocities in the savannah: driving very fast, harassing animals, and being very violent in their driving. On the other hand, Lobulu, on the contrary, has been very clever because he knew where to put the car, he knew that if he gave space between the next jeep, the animals that sometimes get cornered would look for our space to cross the road, that would allow us to see the animals better than anyone else. He knew that if the animals moved, it was better to move the car towards a path to see them better. Not only was he sharp in driving, but he did it safely. He drove over every bump in the road with total ease, which made our safari without any mishaps. We saw other cars broken down, with wheels, radiators or brake discs smoking just because the driver drove too hard. That is also part of the safari, doing it in total safety. The jeep is equipped with water, a fridge, beer... amenities that exceed many European standards. Our guide Dani could see animals with his eyes from miles away. Wherever he put his eye, he knew there was an animal. Sometimes he would stop the car and make Lobulu go in reverse, many meters, because he had seen a turtle. His ability to find animals was the key. We saw the big 5, and hundreds of other animals. The accommodations they chose for us were also unbeatable, but you can always adapt them to your budget. Sometimes it can be scary to communicate with a company that is outside of Spain, but in the end you realize that Spanish companies end up subcontracting local agencies, because they are the ones who really know how to do it. That makes the price of a safari in Spain 3x higher. I assure you.
With Jerome, we have been able to talk very easily, if you do not speak English, use a translator because they will do their best to communicate with you. The best thing about hiring a Tanzanian agency is that the money stays in the country and does not go to a foreign investor, providing its citizens with more opportunities to live and maintain wealth. They have accompanied us, guided us and taken us to the heart of Africa, we have seen the migration of thousands of animals and that is a resource that I will keep for the rest of my life. I want to thank the entire Meru Slopes team from the bottom of my heart, Asante Sana! With all my heart.

Amazing Safari Experience!!
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
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.

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!
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! 😊
