An unforgettable experience
5/5

We did a safari to celebrate our anniversary in August. We had such an incredible time. Meru slopes organised everything for us, from accommodation to meals and everything was even more incredible than we could have hoped.
Our tour guide Amani was fantastic. He was extremely friendly and knowledgeable about the parks and the animals. We had an anniversary to remember and couldn't recommend this organisation and Amani more to anyone looking for an unforgettable experience. Thank you so much!

Awesome Safari Experience
5/5

The 5-Day Safari was a great experience. From the beginning we felt well taken care of and the communication with Meru Slopes was good. They organized everything really well!
The driver Andrew and chef Moshi were with us during the experience and it was lovely to enjoy freshly cooked meals during the trip. We were able to see the big 5, lots of other animals and the driver was awesome at helping us to spot them!
Thank you to the whole team for making this experience truly unforgettable!

Amazing.
5/5

Geofrey of Meru Slopes tours and Safaris took care of our travel to and from the airport. Accommodations before and after the safari. He also set us up with a talented cook and a very experienced/ knowledgeable guide. Rashid is an amazing cook who prepared a wide variety of delicious dishes everyday while we were out on safari. Andrew was our extremely knowledgeable sage guide. He was great company and took great care to help us get the best possible photos. Overall we had a great experience. We will return to beautiful Tanzania for another safari adventure and we will have Geofrey from Meru Slopes Tour and Safaris make it happen.

5 stars start to finish
5/5

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
5/5

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.

HAKUNA MATATA
5/5

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!
5/5

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
5/5

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.
