Everything was absolutely amazing and all the details were just perfect!!
Great addition of safari and lakes at the end. We could never have put together such a well-planned visit by ourselves. Amazing! Thank you Meru Treks team....we would definitely recommend!!!

Adventure of my life time
I was only a Tanzanian in a group of 5, two kenyans and two germans; actualy this was my first time to Lake manyara, serengeti and ngorongoro. the transportation and accommodation was perfectly arranged, we enjoyed a safari as a family and managed to see all the animals i was dreaming to see before. hunting lions was an adventures to me, i wish i would not leave the national parks. thanks Meru mountain treks and safaris ltd, you made a history in my life..

This company did an amazing job making sure I made the memories of a lifetime!
Ibrahim, the owner and operator, communicated with me immediately and regularly whenever I had questions or concerns about the trip. I hiked Mt. Kilimanjaro and had no issues making it to the top. This company gives you one night of accommodation and is very welcoming when you first arrive. It can be a bit stressful making such a large deposit, but your experience with Meru Mnt Treks will be worth it.
Positive experience
Climbed Mt. Meru. All went as expected, it was a budget lodge trip. I can recommend. Michael the cook was exceptional.

Excellent! beyond my expectations!!!
When you arrive in Arusha with endless number of Safari companies...you are lost in chaos! I suppose i was very lucky to find Meru Treks. Ibrahim was so informative and honest and after 1/2HR i was convinced to take a 4 Day Safari with another 2 people. If i knew there quality i would take 5 or 6 Days!
Day 1 TARANGIRE NP was fantastic with beautiful landscapes and close up views of animals. Tarangire River provide some fantastic views of Elephants. Staying at night in Panorama Camp was an experience by itself! Cleanness,Service,Views...all perfect!
Day 2 SERENGETI NP a long drive to the Gate but it pays you well after you start a Game Drive through the endless planes. Our driver Omani was super! we spot all Big 7 in the Park! Afternoon Game Drive finished at 7pm at Seronera Campsite. Another lovely meal prepared by Marcus our excellent chef and sleep with the sound of a rain!
Day 3 The night rain clears the atmosphere so when we start our 6:30 am Game Drive is was very fresh and clear.Highlight of the morning was the spotting of a Cheetah. 11 am back to the Campsite for a Branch and then Game drive out of Serengeti at 3pm and then drive to Simba Campsite .
Day 4 6am early drive to Ngorongoro Gate and descend to the Crater for an unforgettable Game Drive at the floor of the word biggest Crater. We started with Lions and finish with Rhinos! In the meanwhile: Elephant,Buffalo, Zebra,hippo,hyena,jackal,ostrich,gazelle etc...After a lovely breakfast by a Hippo Lake we drive back to the Camp for Lunch. An Elephant pay us a visit just before we left, what a perfect way to end our great experience!
Fantastic people and fantastic Safari. Thank you all!!!

Perfectly cost-effective and excellent customer service!
We had a 5-day budget safari in an excellent price and we were very pleased with pretty much everything. The food was good and our guide was experienced and knew a lot about the animals and wildlife. We also saw a lot and the route was well-planned!
We stayed in camp-sites and slept in tents so warm clothes and some adventurous spirit were needed and there was not much room in the car for any extra luggage. However the car itself was clean and comfortable.
The customer service gets full five stars! The company replied all our emails and questions fast and provided a good accommodation in Arusha and also helped us with other things e.g getting buss tickets.
The company was also very flexible with the payment as we had trouble with getting dollars.
All in all nothing luxurious or fancy - but excellent customer service and very enjoyable and wonderful safari!
