Serious honest and hardworking for a fair price
Communications, food service and accomodations was very satisfying. I hoped we had seen more animals, maybe the driver could have driven to more different places within serengeti. We drove a lot on the same area. At the end I was very comfortable wit meru treks! Thanks

Amazing Safari
I did the 5 days safari (Tarangine, Serengeti, N'gorongoro, Manyara) with 3 other persons ( i joined a group). So five days were very intense (lot of driving) but it worths every km and mn.
I took the tent camp safari. The camp sites were beyond my expectations: Panorama camp site (2 ights), camp site in Serengeti (1 night) and camp site Simba A (1 night). And the last night in Arusha (Raha leo guesthouse) was included in the price aswell.
It was low season so the Park were "empty" so we could enjoy the view and the animals without any disturbance.
Regarding the company, we had the best guid and cook ever: Mickael and Amani. Those two were the reasons why this safari was perfect.
I really recommend this company.

An incredible Safari, a good logistic, very nice guide and cook who fulfil our projects!!!
The overall experience with Meru Moutain treks and safari has been amazing. This is a budget Safari but you definitively get everything that you need. I went for a 4 days, 3 nights safari in Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater. Everything has been working perfectly. The guide was friendly and very knowleadgeable. He drives safetly and took time to show us a lot of things and to listen our wishes which match with the scheduled. We had some amazing game drive in the different parks and we saw a lot of animals and we have been most of the time in a good timing to be some of the first one where the action was. The cook was very friendly and cook for us good meals, with everything needed (vegeteables, meet, starchy food) and more than enough concerning the quantity. It has been a life time trip that i will never forget. I can only recommend to you to go travel with them. Thank you again for everything!

Detail information, kind explanation before travel and truehearted service during travel
I can get a detail information and kind explanation from a managing director before travel and a feeling of satisfaction from the truehearted service of both driver and chef during travel. Also the price is reasonable.
Just perfect!
All went perfect in our 3 night safari. Mr Ibrahim always tried (successfully!) to accomodate all our needs, and we consider flexibility and dedicated customer care to be one of the qualities of this company. Our guide Johnson was a great 4x4 driver and had very good knowledge of the wildlife. We had an unforgettable experience, fully pleasant, with reliable professionals that knew how to do their jobs well. Thank you very much, Mr Ibrahim.

Fantastic experience, welcoming and helpful staff
My boyfriend and I went for a 5-day safari including Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Tarangire Park. The experience provided by Meru Treks exceeded our expectations. The manager Ibrahim suggested a very good itinerary, was very well informed and helpful. He picked us up when we arrive in Arusha and took care of our accommodation after the safari.
Our guides were very nice and approachable. Although they have been driving in the parks so many times, they still understand the first timer excitement. Thanks to them we were able to enjoy the wilderness to the fullest. The chefs were excellent as well. I have few dietary requirements and although it is not particularly easy to cook in the bush, they made sure everyone's need was met.
Regarding the flat tires that somebody mentioned in his/her review, every safari group I saw on the way face the issue. Most of the time it was our guys who were helping the others. People are friendly and safari is not meant to be a highway drive. It is bumpy, wild and full of awaiting adventures.
Meru Treks highly recommended!

Very good company with great staff
We had a five days safari and everything went perfect. We had the chance to interact with two different drivers and two different chefs and all four of them were great to us, same as the manager, Ibrahim. Definitely would recommend this company.

Great time, good service, good prices
We are very happy to have choosen with Meru Treks in Tanzania.
The company and Ibrahim, the manager, are very reliable. They have organized our safari (5 days in Serengeti, Tarangire and the crater) and our Kili Trek (5 days trek on the Marangu Road) in a few days, just before doing those trips…
So we could book everything in Arusha and that was very very much cheaper than doing it from home.
The service was great and the guides (Olé for the safari and Julius for Kili) were perfect !
After a few talks with different agencies, we could bargain the price with Ibrahim and he was ready to do it.
It's note the most luxurious agency… it's simple, comfortable, reliable and not so expensive
Enjoy !
