Meru Slopes was easy to work with and gave us exactly what we wanted in a private tour.
5/5

I can highly recommend Meru Slopes Tours and especially our guide/driver Nuru, who really made the trip memorable for my family. He is knowledgeable and easygoing, and showed great expertise both in finding the wildlife, telling us about them and driving in very challenging conditions. We arranged this private tour online and were able to get exactly what we wanted on the dates we chose. The accommodations and food were good and Nuru really fit well with my family.

A very well organized Company you can trust and count on if you have any problems.
5/5

We cannot thank enough Gift for being so nice with us all the time, always accomodating our extra requests. When we've arrived to Dar Es Salaam our luggage was lost and we had our safari booked for the day after. Meru Slope helped us in buying last minute the most important items we were missing and off we went. We had a time of our lives, our driver and guide Robert was super as we have seen so many beatiful animals (all the big 5 and we completed the 9 and ugly 5 too) Everything was way behind our expectations , nothing was feeling budget. The food was always delicious too and our chef Gideon even managed in improvizing a birthday party for me on the first night ! Last but not least they even helped us in contacting the lost&found office, and finally retrieved our luggage and took us to Arusha Airport to collect it.
Definitely we highly recommend Meru Slope for your experience in Tanzania.

Safari and Kilimanjaro
5/5

Meru slopes is a great choice for budget experience as nothing felt budget. Almacius was very responsive and answered all our questions before the trip and customised our trip according to our wishes.

Safari:
Safari experience was amazing. Our driver/guide Andrew is a real professional! Great attitude, very organised, knows so much about animals and local vegetation. His eyesight is insane, he spored animals so far away and animals that very hiding very well. Our chef Gidion always prepared something new and so delicious. Also he has amazing attitude and created always fun and light atmosphere. Guys took amazing care of us. The best!

Kilimanjaro:
Well it was just simply dream come true. During hard times our guides Kennedy and Julius made sure not just for us to stay safe but also keep us in the best mood possible. They adjusted hiking speed according to out capabilities. They kept good company as well! Every evening we had briefings that made sure we prepared for the next day. Also wow, Kennedy knows so much about Kilimanjaro wild life and vegetation. Was super interesting to learn about this wonderful place! Also our chef cooked epic meals and every dish was different. What strikes me the most, that we were worried about the amount of food that will be available to us, so we took lots of protein bars, but wow, there was so much food we had to ask to cook less as we simply cannot eat that much. Did not touch my protein bars at all. Thanks guys!

Some negatives:
Although experience was really good, I think its important to note few things.

In our offer it was said that local sim car is included so we could have internet and etc. We did not get them. When we asked for it, there was always something - oh do you really need it for Kilimanjaro. Oh well sim card guy is somewhere, so if you want you can wait for an hour or more till he is back, but will go to Safari later in this case. However in these days its super easy and cheap to get e-sim, so just get one and there will be no problem.

Another thing to note, be aware of the tipping! Even tho the offer mentions it, the description is not accurate at all. So just read on it, there is a lot of information on how much and to whom.

A dream come true! Special thanks to our guide
5/5

Our safari experience was truly unforgettable, thanks to our guide/driver Mohammed/Muddy, who went above and beyond to ensure we had an incredible adventure. His enthusiasm was contagious, and he prioritised our interests, going the extra mile to help us spot every animal on our list—and even more. From a cheetah sprinting directly behind our vehicle to two lionesses with their cubs strolling beside us, and a pride of lions with one lioness feasting on a fresh wildebeest, every moment was breathtaking.

He also treated us to rare sights like leopards and lionesses perched in trees and gave us a front-row seat to the awe-inspiring wildebeest migration. His deep knowledge of the region and its wildlife was remarkable, and he answered every question we had with patience and insight.

While the vehicle could use some upgrades, this in no way detracted from the excellent service provided by our guide. His dedication and expertise made this an experience of a lifetime. Highly recommended!

Best experience ever!! Thanks to our guide!!
5/5

Our safari guide, Mohammed/Muddy was absolutely fantastic—enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and completely focused on making our experience unforgettable. He made sure we saw every animal we hoped for and even surprised us with more, like a cheetah running behind our vehicle, lionesses with their cubs walking right beside us, and a lioness feasting on a fresh wildebeest. We even witnessed leopards and lionesses in trees and the awe-inspiring wildebeest migration up close. He was so patient, answering all our questions with ease, and his passion for the wildlife and the area really stood out. The only downside was the vehicle could use some updates, but it didn’t take away from the incredible journey he gave us.

Amazing! Dont miss!
5/5

Without a doubt this is an experience you cannot miss. From the beginning getting in contact with Jerome to plan our safari holidays was excellent. Quick and clear communication via email and WhatsApp that was our preference, was clear and accurate. Communication tu understand option and plan to the best of our wants and needs could not have been better. Also, Jerome was there to receive us at airport upon arrival which was great, as he was able to explain some fun facts and words/phrases as well as kindly guide us in next steps. Our driver Asantaeli was prompt to pick us up from hotel and during our 4 day safari he granted us with the most amazing experience: being a true guide explaining next steps, stories about locations and details about animals, as well as making we saw what we wanted including cheetah and rhino which are not only hard to find, but cannot be assured. He was great compay, driver and guide, made sure we had everything we needed at all times, including coordinating schedule with our amazing chef Yohana, from who we were happy to get local cuisine for breakfast, lunch and dinner. We really liked the taste of local food, Yohana was always clear in presenting the dishes and answering our curious food questions. This safari was absolutely worth the $, we are very happy with the entire experience, unique and Meru makes sure to adapt to your needs and time frame (as well as dropping us at airport to make sure we get in time for our flight). They really made sure we had absolutely everything we could need and more. We are very grateful to the entire team of Meru slopes for an unforgettable experience!

6 Day Safari private mid range Big 5!!!
5/5

My partner and I have made the honeymoon and the whole experience has been 10 from the commercial, the car, the hotels and of course our guide Mohamed, a real crack that gives everything for you to enjoy and see all the animals. We were very lucky, we saw the Big 5 and experiences like a herd of Elephants next to us or 2 births of Zebra, a pass!!!!! 100% recommended.
