Honest, efficient, eager to please
We were a bit reluctant at first to make travel arrangements directly with a safari outfit through emails. But Gift Tembo walked us through several itinerary iterations so we could visit all the parks that we wanted. We were taken good care of since the time we arrived at the Kilimanjaro airport from US through the time we departed for Zanzibar. We spent an amazing week visiting Tarangire, Serengeti, Ndutu, Ngorongoro, and Lake Manyara National Parks. Our dirver/guide Mohamed Abdallah went above and beyond taking us around and finding animals. He’s extremely knowledgeable, knows animals behavior and where to look for them. It wasn’t easy for him driving on dirt roads through the mud but he managed to keep us going. So overall we were very satisfied with Meru Slopes and would highly recommend Mohamed Abdallah as a guide.

Perfect Trip, Meru Slopes is a great operator
Our safari with Meru Slopes was a highlight. We were picked up at Kilimanjaro Airport and after a night at the Arusha Planet Lodge the adventure began. It started on February 23rd to March 6th, 2023
The 12 days flew by. We visited Tarangire National Park, Lake Manyara, Southern and Central Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater and ended with a transfer to Arusha Airport.
Geofrey Nassari organized the tour perfectly and our guide Inno was simply perfect. We can fully recommend Meru Slopes!!

Incredible experience
I booked a six-day safari, which included three nights in a tent, and a one-day trek to Materuni Waterfall directly with Meru Slopes and I can only express an extremely positive opinion.
The organisation was impeccable, with easy and clear communication with Gift, who was always helpful and reliable.
Our exceptional guide Robert, with his 12 years of experience, and Buga, the cook, made the safari truly special. Both took care of every need with great professionalism.
The experience was truly unforgettable, full of emotions and unique moments.
We also had the opportunity to visit a Maasai village, an experience I highly recommend.
Nixon, who accompanied me to the waterfall trek and to the hot springs, was also extremely helpful and friendly.
Punctuality and customer care were constant throughout the trip.
Small tip for those going on safari: take a torch and toilet paper.
I recommend, even for solo travellers, without a doubt Meru Slopes for any adventure or attraction in the Arusha region.
Many thanks to the entire Meru Slopes team for making this experience so special!

Spectacular
We have just spent 6 days with Meru Slopes passing through Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro and we are delighted with the experience. From the first contact with Almachius explaining the details of what we were going to do and answering all our questions before coming, everything has been magnificent.
The tour has included transfers to and from the airport and the hotel the day before and after the safari so you don't have to worry about anything other than enjoying yourself.
Swalehe, our driver, has a lot of experience, which is very important due to the state of the terrain during the rainy season. He identifies the animals very quickly and tries to get as close as possible so you can see them perfectly.
Gidion, our chef, has cooked us delicious breakfast, lunch and dinner every day and transmits joy and good vibes at all times.
We have seen the Big 5 and a lot of other animals, we are still impressed. The campsites in Serengeti and Ngorongoro are very basic, with clean showers and toilets, a dining area and a tent, but you don't need anything else to fully enjoy the experience. We recommend bringing toilet paper and soap.
In short, if you're thinking of going on a safari in Tanzania, Meru Slopes is definitely a sure bet.

It couldn't be better
It was a fantastic experience. Any nature lover will be amazed by a tour like this, and even more so by the hand of a team as professional and friendly as Meru Slopes. From the beginning, the tour was managed in a 100% personalized way with Almachius and accompanied at all times by the guide and driver Swalehe, who provides great security thanks to his driving skills, knowledge of mechanics and biology; not to mention Gidion, our cook and assistant throughout the trip, the nicest person in Tanzania. They really have made this tour an unforgettable experience. I was able to take some spectacular photos and we saw the Big 5 in a comfortable and reliable car.

Very efficient, accommodating, and quick to reply to any inquiries.
We did the 6-day, Big-5 Safari and it was awesome! Kelvin was great to deal with. He was quick to reply to any questions we had and all the accommodations he arranged were great. Drivers were all very professional. Herman gave us a lovely tour of Arusha. Our Safari driver, Kunda, was so much fun. He was very accommodating and he got us all of the “Big 5” and so much more…even cheetahs up close!! Getting so near to many of the animals was beyond exciting and at no time did we feel unsafe. Thank you Meru Slopes!

Samuel is incredibly helpful and nice, not only regarding the safari but also in our general ne
I believe the cost is worth the experience. You get to experience safari with the best guide, Samuel, thank my brother. It is safe, funny and full of knowledge. For those who want to disconnect from the regular word and taste raw nature, this is the right place.

Professional operator, experienced guide, fantastic chef, great value
We had a wonderful experience with Meru Slopes on our 6-day safari. We did the "migration route" camping safari. Jerome had very professional communication and laid out the tour options very clearly for us. He was always timely in his responses too and answered all of our questions. Our driving guide was Robert, and we have nothing but fantastic reviews for him. He went to school for wildlife studies in Kenya and has been a guide for 12+ years. We were often the first jeep to spot many animals, and he was keenly tuned into the radio with his network of friends. We didn't appreciate how important this was because his friends would alert him of new sightings, and we would zip across the park to maximize wildlife sightings on each day. He was very knowledgeable, spoke great English, and did a wonderful job overall. Would ask for him specifically if we did another tour. Our cook Gideon was also fantastic! We had wonderful breakfasts, hot lunches, and wonderful dinners every day. Thank you Gideon! We liked the itinerary with Meru because we had three nights camping and a couple nights in a lodge, and they also cover lodging the first night and last night in Arusha. So, the all-in price includes lodging for 7 nights and has 6 days of safari. Other operators said it was a six day tour, but those six days included the first day you land in Arusha with no safari on that day. Pay attention to this when booking! Or just save some time and book with Meru. 5/5 star, locally owned operator. Thank you Meru!

Robert knew the anwser to all our questions and managed to always get us in the best spot possible
We took the 6 day safari tour with meru slopes. The communication with them is clear and in case of any questions our contact person Jerome got back to us really quickly.
During the safari Robert, our guide, managed to show us any animal we wanted from lions to rhinos and even a pair of baby cheetas. Everytime he managed to get us in the best position to look and photograph the animals.
On top of that we had amazing meals provided by our chef Gideon.
