I was with my extended family!
One mustn't die before visiting Tanzania, more specifically Serengeti! And there is no way to do it better than with Meru Slopes.
Geoffrey, Emanuel and the entire team ensures that you return with only pleasant memories. No matter what budget you are on, no matter what customization you need, just tell them and they would make it happen. They take their business with utmost sincerity.

You start to feel the warmth from time you contact Geoffrey over email/whatsapp in your planning/booking phase. Sometimes so much that it starts to feel too good to be real. But as soon as you are greeted by friendly drivers at airport, you are bound to love Tanzania.
I took a 6-day budget camping safari (Serengeti, Ngorongore, Manyara, Tarangire) and a one day Arusha national park trips and loved every moment, especially in Serengeti and Ngorongoro. It would not have been possible without our driver/guide Issac. He is polite, knowledgeable, extremely skilled and has some stunning knack of spotting animals one finds hard to see using a HD binocular. I recommend him very highly! The experience gets two notches higher if he is your guide. He knows exactly what to expect, when to go, where to look. The way he swung by the cheetah off the road, breathtakingly good!
Although I was on a camping safari, Geoffrey was very accommodating to put me on reasonable groups in a couple of different legs and ensured that minimum time is lost in transition. All the staffs were great. The services – food, sleeping tents, hotel everything is very reasonable. The Simba campsite at Ngorongoro was gorgeous.
A word of caution – If you are on a weight watch, do not go with Action (the chef)! He is a wonderful cook and will ensure that you gain 1 kg/day of your trip. He can make an array of food items to cater your needs. His onion soup, beans and green vegetables are a must have along with some glorious sweet pineapples from Tanzania.
I remember Emanuel meeting me the very first morning and saying, ‘all we want is that you leave with a big smile on your face at the end of the trip’ and boy did I!
I highly recommend Meru Slopes for a trip to Tanzania – specially the northern circuit.
Asante Sana!

Pretty good guide but better cook needed
Everything was ok but the meals. I'm a vegetarian and I've been a bit disappointed with the dishes served.

An incredible real safari experience, well organised, tailored, easy, fun and confortable!
It was really well organised!
Since we contacted them , they text us back in 5 minutes. Pick up at the airport, and once at the hotel, we could pay there (they gave us the option to pay at arrival).
Next day we started the safari and was incredible! with the best guide ever, Brenson, explained us all the animals, and in 4 days we saw all of them!
Really professional! We had a great time with him and the food was also great!
Sleeping inside the natural parks was amazing! It made everything more authentic.
The team at the hotel was also really kind, and helpful.
Tanzania is going to be in my heart for a while... for sure!

Best 6 days ! Best adventure with Meru Slopes Tours and Safari
We had the best adventure from day one.
The Organisaion went without any problems. I stayed in contact with Geofrey from the first mail till the day we went back home. He answered very quickly and answered every question.
We booked a 6 day Tour and asked for one special night which was not included in the normal tour. It was no Problem and he organised everything. Everything there went well - we were very surprised and happy about the good oganisation.
Everyday was special and everyday was perfect.
Our guide Douglas did the best job. He was always lucky and joking. He answered all questions, explained everything and stopped at the best spots. We got to see nearly every animal very close and he took care about us. He gave us interesting informations about the animals and the wild life.
Also our cook Richard did the best job. He cooked delicious meal every day. He was kind and friendly and so motivated to prepare meal every evening . He listened to our wishes and prepared vegetables we brougt from the marked and wanted to try. So nice of him. Everbody was so nice and kind and tried to do everything that the clients have the best days during safari.
I can really reccomend this company!
We were so happy.
Thanks for the biggest adventure ever!

Great safari with professional company
I had a great safari with Meru Slopes Tours & Safaris. I chose the 6 days budget camping group option. The company is very flexible so you can do any number of days and they will add you on to other groups etc – so this worked very well for me as a solo traveller. I spent one day in Tarangire, 3 days in the Serengeti (including the time to travel there), one day in Ngorongoro and one in Manyara. If you have less time then they will probably suggest to sacrifice Tarangire or Manyara – this makes sense because, although these parks are beautiful and full of animals – the most exciting viewings are in the Serengeti and the Ngorongoro is a stunning setting not to be missed.
Geofrey dealt with my enquiries and bookings efficiently and professionally. Nuru picked me up from the airport with no problem and was interesting to chat to on the drive to Arusha. The hotel which they use before/after safari (Arusha Tourist Inn) is basic but more than adequate.
On safari our driver/guide was Douglas – he was a great character and really good at his job with many years’ experience. Our chef was Richard who was also a nice guy – the food was always very good and very plentiful. At the start/end of my trip the accommodation was Manyara Sunbright Lodge – tented structures with wooden bed, toilet/shower out the back. In the Serengeti and Ngorongoro you stay in actual tents on a public campsite – in the Serengeti this can mean animals walking through the camp – all part of the experience!
I give the trip 5 stars because I think it’s great value for money – and the staff and organisation are very helpful and trustworthy. Of course you can do more luxurious/bespoke safaris – but for the ‘going rate’ of around $200 per day for a budget safari I think Meru Slopes delivers a great experience.

Wonderfull safari in Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro!
We booked a safari from a Dutch partner organisation. From the moment of arriving on Arusha airport until we left to Zanzibar, everything was perfectly arranged. The first night we stayed in a hotel (arranged by Meru slopes) in Arusha and the next morning they picked us up to start the safari. The five of us travelled in a comfortable, clean car and we all had a seat by the window. The guide and the cook were both really friendly and the food was really good. The guide was able to tell us a lot about the different animals and he knows where to find the good spots to see the animals. We visited Tarangire NP, Serengeti NP and Ngorongoro. We had a really good and I recommend everyone to book with Meru Slopes.

8 days safari in Tanzania
This firm is very realible and flexible across the companies in Arusha. At first we were a bit nervous if they pick us up from airport or everything's going well or not. However all they promised came true and we left Arusha to be so so happy by selecting this firm.
We joined the tour in Feb/2019 and went to Arusha National Park,Tarangire NP, Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, Lake Manyara. Additionally we visted a maasai tribe..
we saw big 5 animals ( elephant, leopard, lion, bufallo and rhino) aditionally giraffe, zebra , cheetah, bufallo, hyena, wildebeest, hartebeest, mangoose, filamingo, secratery birds, water flows, many kind of impalas, dik dik, crocodile, hippos, blue monkey, b/w colobus, antelopes,gazelles and many more...
Firm owner Geofrey is very fast to responce all e-mails and whatsapp msg. He welcomed us very well and so nice to us all the time.
Also our driver/guide Isaack P. Swai was really helpful, kind, well experienced in Safari to us during the safari. He is like a google map and never lost his way during te safari:) and very good at spotting the animals.
Besides cook Akshin is like a stomach engineer , he is very good at cooking and I'm afraid we got some weight :)
I need to say that I'm personally too greatful to all Meru Slope team for this lifelong experience.. never forget this epic tour...
strongly suggested!
BIG THANKS TO MERU SLOPES TOUR & SAFARİ!!
