Unforgettable Safari Experience with Douglas – 5 Stars!
Our safari with Meru Slopes Tours & Safaris was nothing short of magical, and that was largely thanks to our incredible guide, Douglas. From the moment we set off, Douglas’s deep knowledge of the wildlife, landscapes, and local culture made every moment feel special. His passion for Tanzania’s beauty and his keen eye for spotting animals turned our journey into a once-in-a-lifetime adventure.
Douglas ensured we saw the Big Five and so much more—his ability to track elusive animals was truly impressive. Whether it was a pride of lions lounging in tall grasses or a leopard perched in an acacia tree, he made sure we had front-row seats to nature’s greatest show. He was also incredibly patient, answering all our questions with enthusiasm and sharing fascinating stories about the Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, and beyond.
Beyond his expertise, Douglas was a fantastic travel companion—kind, funny, and always making sure we were comfortable and enjoying ourselves. When the airline lost my luggage, Douglas went above and beyond, taking me to a local clothing store so I could have some options while waiting for my bag to arrive. Meanwhile, Jerome, our coordinator, was incredibly reassuring and made sure that as soon as my luggage was received, a driver would deliver it directly to our lodging. Their attentiveness and care made what could have been a stressful situation completely effortless.
From sunrise game drives to breathtaking sunsets, every part of our trip was seamless and unforgettable. If you’re looking for a top-tier, five diamond safari experience in Tanzania, ask for Douglas—you won’t regret it!

Excellent and Unforgettable Safari Experience by Meru Slopes
My representative Jerome was very responsible: He took care of everything from the very beginning to the end, like plan changes, unforeseeable situations.. My guide Patric is excellent, knowledgeable, skillful and full of experiences. I saw all of the Big Five and many other animals like cheetah hunting, giraffe fighting, vulture eating and baby rhinos... Patric can spot the animals from a long distance, which is very impressive! All things had been taken care of accordingly by Patric, he is definitely a perfect guide!!

Mohamed was very knowledgeable, respectful and genuinely cared for all on the Safari
First time on a safari and it was beyond anything we expected thanks for the staff at Meru. Kelvin helped coordinate the safari and was super accommodating to our early arrival and making sure the driver was there on time and our room was ready when we got to the hotel. Our driver Mohamed was fantastic, best Safari guide!! He has lots of knowledge about the animals, parks, tribes and great stories overall.
Our chef was amazing, the food was tasty everyday.
Overall an amazing experience, we are grateful for everyone at meru for their hospitality and kindness.

Just book Meru Slopes already… 🙏🏼
Dropped off at our hotel by Jerome and Nixon at Meru Slopes a couple of hours ago after the most INCREDIBLE few days.
From my first interaction with the company everything was prompt, personable and professional. Jerome was so helpful answering any questions and organising all of our different pick ups and drop offs seamlessly. Thank you also to Victor who picked us up from Kili airport and gave us all of the information on Tanzania as we passed through.
We were guided by Jacob who was just great. Knew absolutely everything there was to know about all of the parks and all of the wildlife. He made the whole thing run so smoothly and made sure we saw everything there was to see. The big five, the ‘ugly’ five. All of it. Thank you, Jacob.
And Bongey who cooked the tastiest food for us three times a day. So good.
What an adventure.
Book Meru Slopes, you will not be disappointed.
Thanks guys. See you again some time we hope! Love, Mel and Doug X x

Wonderful!!!
这次六天五夜的Safari坦桑尼亚之旅非常完美,旅行社的服务超出了我们的预期!在前期咨询期间就非常耐心迅速详细的回答我们的疑问。Selima厨师的饭菜很好吃,很符合中国人胃;Naul导游(我不确定是不是这样拼写)特别专业,对动物讲解详细,还带我们很近的狮子一家,猎豹还跳上了我们车。此外,整个行程的价格非常nice,旅行社老板太好了,还提供了很多免费的啤酒,离开的时候还给了文化衫,这家公司企业文化真的让人很暖心!感谢旅行社的用心安排,让我们度过了一段美好的旅程!
This six-day, five-night safari trip to Tanzania was perfect, and the travel agency's service exceeded our expectations! They were patient, answered our questions quickly and in detail during the pre-consultation period. Chef Selima's food was delicious and very suitable for the Chinese palate; tour guide Naul (I'm not sure if that's how to spell it) was very professional, explained the animals in detail, and even took us very close to a family of lions and a cheetah that jumped onto our car. In addition, the price of the entire trip was very nice, and the owner of the travel agency was very kind and provided a lot of free beer. When we left, he even gave us a T-shirt. The company culture of this company is really heartwarming! Thank you for the travel agency's thoughtful arrangements, which made our trip wonderful!

A once in a lifetime experience
There are not enough positive words to explain our trip with Meru Slopes. Everything was seamless. From initially booking the trip, they answered any questions/queries we had extremely promptly. It was our first time on a safari so we had a few questions, however, we were put at ease and made to feel like family straight away. We landed at Arusha and our driver was there promptly and showed us Arusha’s history on route to our first stop. All of the accommodations selected were amazing - very friendly staff and excellent food choices all over. Tanzanian locals are extremely helpful and nothing was ‘too small for them’.
And for the main highlight - our safari driver, Asantaeli. We couldn’t have asked for a better tour guide. Every day he greeted us with a smile and his friendly personality. He made every game drive memorable and provided extra information into the history of the land and animals and made sure we saw all the amazing and wonder sites Tanzania had to offer. We were very lucky in our drives to see everything we could have imagined (and most animals at very very close range). The communication between the drivers meant that we were able to get good sightings of animal such as lions, cheetahs and even Rhinos!
We couldn’t recommend Asantaeli and the rest of the team at Meru slopes more and will recommend to everyone we know. Thank you so much and we cannot wait to return!

A Perfect Choice for Our First Safari Adventure
At this moment, I am back home with a joyful heart, ready to pen down this heartfelt review.
Before our trip, we compared several tour companies on Safaribookings and finally chose Meru Slope. Looking back, selecting Meru Slope as our guide for our first African safari was the best decision we could have made.
From the beginning, Manager Almachius made us feel at ease with his timely responses on WhatsApp, answering all our questions. Upon our arrival, he personally greeted us at the hotel, thoroughly explaining the itinerary. On the last day of our journey, Almachius came to the hotel to see us off, which deeply touched us. This personal warmth made us feel like we had a true friend in Tanzania, not just a service provider.
Our safari guide, Mr. Florian, was incredibly patient, professional, and friendly. With his extensive knowledge of safari wildlife and excellent driving skills, he accompanied us on our four-day safari. Thanks to his experience, we spotted the Big Five on the vast plains of the Serengeti and captured many breathtaking moments. By the way, Florian has an amazing Samsung phone that takes much clearer photos than iPhones—so much so that I borrowed it to take some pictures! Florian also answered all our questions about the safari with great expertise. Moreover, he was thoughtful enough to remember our favorite vegetables, ensuring that every picnic was filled with fresh and delicious meals.
A special shout-out goes to the warm, friendly, and energetic Victor, who waited two hours to pick us up at the airport on the first day. Despite the delay, he greeted us with a big smile, played great music in the car, and kept us entertained with his fun questions. His enthusiasm for his work was contagious. On the last day, Victor took us to Moshi Town, where we admired the pristine beauty of Kilimanjaro’s snow-capped peak. He also introduced us to Tanzania’s hidden treasure—a dreamy natural blue forest pool. There, we even enjoyed a unique fish massage, which truly made our day!
Every day, the accommodations and meals were excellent. We especially loved Arusha Planet Lodge and Embalakai Ngorongoro Camp. The former felt like a garden retreat in Bali, while the latter, situated between a Maasai village and an acacia forest, offered both cultural richness and breathtaking wildlife views. We spotted groups of giraffes surrounding the campground and that was a legit Alice wonderland. The staff were incredibly friendly, the rooms were spotless, and the location was simply magical. We wish we could have stayed there longer!
Finally, a huge thank you to Victor, Florian, and Almachius for making our Tanzanian journey unforgettable. Meru Slope provided us with not just a safari, but a once-in-a-lifetime adventure filled with memories to cherish forever. We wholeheartedly recommend Meru Slope to anyone considering a trip to Tanzania. Best wishes for your continued success!

One of the most incredible experiences of my life.
One of the most incredible experiences of my life. We spent one day in Tarangire, three days between Serengeti and Ndutu to witness the Great Migration, and one day in Ngorongoro, and everything was perfect. Our guide, Salehe, was extremely knowledgeable, answered all our questions, and made us feel in excellent hands—much of this amazing experience is thanks to him. The locations were stunning, and even in the tented lodges within the parks, the services and staff were top-notch. The organization was flawless, and everyone was very accommodating, even to needs that went beyond the safari itself.
