Best experience ever. If you want the best od the best: ask for Jacob. Really happy with everything
Thanks to Jacob it was simply thw best experience of our lifes. Dream come true, how to come back soon!
We took the 4 night/4 day Safari. We got to Kilimanjaro airport and a driver was waiting for us to go to the first hotel: Green Mountain Hotel, a good hotel located in Arusha, just for sleeping and waking up early to get to know Jacob, our guide/driver, who picked us up at 8 am and our adventure started.
First day: Tarangire: amazing. We saw cheetahs, lions, elephants, A LEOPARD, hyenas, zebras, impalas and many more! After an amazing lunch and posterior game drives, we went to Tarangire Safari Lodge to see the sunset and to get a good night of sleep in a very comftable room (we even heard some lions next to our room at night and got to see some elephants around).
Second day: we saw a bunch of animals in Tarangire, and then drove straight to Ngorongoro entrance, just to go to Serengeti and get to see some more animals. Once again: Jacob, the experienced driver told us a bunch of fun facts about the parks and animals and we learnt A LOT with him. When we got to Serengeti (the most epic place on earth), we saw a pack of lions, a lioness with her baby and dropped some tears of course. Somehow we saw another leopard (which is very rare) and a lot of animals. One can’t imagine how much is going on at Serengeti National Park. We went to sleep to an even better hotel than the one we stayed before: Serengeti Luxury Tented Camps. Got an impressive ‘karibu’ by the staff and the room was out of this world. Forgot to mention: some Masais are part of the staff and they even help you to get to you room at night so it’s actually very safe.
Third day: we spent the day from early morning until 2 p.m. at Serengeti and ONCE AGAIN: LEOPARD. This time was the most epic because we saw it on the grass, just 5 meters away from our car (on the left side) and we had a lion eating a buffalo that it has just killed 10 meters away (on the right side). After some of the best moments and saying ‘asante’ to our friend Jacob, we went back to our fourth and last hotel: Rhino Loddge, a cozy hotel with extremely friendly staff and zebras and waterbucks just in front of our room.
Fourth day: we got to Ngorongoro Crater at 8am, the only one of the great 5 missing: Rhino. After 2.5 hours of seeing lions, hippos, flamingos, hyenas, buffalos and so on, we saw them: TWO BLACK RHINOS on the distance to make this Safari the best part of the best trip of our lifes (our honeymoon).
Once again big props to JACOB, the best driver/guide that we could ever get. He got for us special tanzanian food (Saladin), we had Coca Cola and fresh water the whole time and it’s good to know that Tanzanians, in this case Jacob, are such a kind, welcoming and genuine people. If we ever do a Safari again (that we hope so), we definitely will ask Meru Slopes to get us Jacob as a driver so we can have anothe unbelievable experience such as the one that we just had.
ASANTE JACOB, ASANTE MERU SLOPES,

Cheap and cheerful with a golden heart. Highly recommended
Have been planning this trip for years and decided it was time to make it a reality. Three of us set off on a three day safari with these guys and I can say it was well worth it. The lodge and the hotel we stayed at needed a bit of TLC (particularly the bathrooms) but in every other way, the whole trip was incredible. The driver/guide was great, our chef was talented and kept us well fed and between us, we spotted all of the big five in a single day. If you're looking for a no-frills safari for a competative price, these guys are well worth looking at

Perfectly guided
Ask for Kenedy as a Guide and Moshi as cook. They know their stuff and are great human beeings.
The tour was amazon. Kenedy is the perfect guide, he unsterstood very quickly, what I am interrested in seeing and took me to the best spots. He was also a very open and fun person. We laughed, learned from each other and saw many animals.
Moshi as a cook was very forthcoming and tried a accomodate all of the tour gruop's wishes plus his food always tasted good.

Excellent Tour Operator
Had an amazing experience on a 6 day Safari with Meru Slopes. It was very well organised with an additional excursion being arranged last minute as there was more time before our return flight than initially thought. Our guide for the excursion, Frank, made it a very enjoyable day. However the biggest thank you has to go to our safari guide, Florian, who was extremely knowledgeable and had eyes like a hawk when spotting the wildlife. He ensured we saw all the big five plus many more and saw them numerous times, frequently very close to the jeep. I cannot thank him enough as he made it such an unforgettable experience. Highly recommended!

An unforgettable experience
I can fully recommend Meru Slopes.
We have booked a five-day safari tour to the North Serengeti and the migration. The accommodations offered by Meru Slopes were very good. The rooms were all very large and clean. The service is without exception very friendly and accommodating. The tented lodges in the Serengeti also offer an impressive experience that should not be missed. The breakfast and dinner doesn't have a large selection, which is more than understandable given the location, but it tastes very good.
Geofrey is the contact person, answers all questions and has the right and, above all, fair offer for various requirements.
One thing you have to know: even if you have the feeling that something has not been confirmed in detail, you can assume that everything has been arranged to your complete satisfaction, at least as it is stated in the offer.
Geofrey organizes your own transfer from the airport there and back. From the moment of arrival everything goes perfectly until the end of the trip.
The hot lunch was well taken care of during the safari and cool drinks were always available in the jeep. Even the freely available WiFi worked perfectly during the safari in the jeep, with only a few exceptions.
Our tour guide Amani was very good. During the safari he was well connected and always informed about where there was something special to see. In addition to his good knowledge of the animal kingdom, we learned a lot about the country and the culture.
Amani even gave us a sundowner in the jeep in the evening whenever possible - just great!
All in all, an unforgettable, impressive and eventful trip with Meru Slopes that I can highly recommend.

Outstanding professionals that know how to find the best wildlife!
I had the most amazing safari tour in Tanzania with Meru Slopes! I spent 5 days exploring the Seregenti, Tarangire, and Ngorongoro crater and witnessed up close: lions, lion cubs, cheetahs, elephants, giraffes, rhinos, wildebeest, zebras and so, so much more! We camped in the Seregenti for a couple nights, which was an incredible experience! You can hear animals through the middle of the night under the most clearest sky of glimmering stars. It’s all just surreal.
You’ll have opportunity to buy African souvenirs, such as Maasai masks and other neat relics.
My driver and cook were fantastic people and the best of hosts. All in all, I highly recommend this tour. The memories you’ll make are for life.

Amazing experience with Meru Slopes
Had a perfect 8 days safari tour with Meru Slopes visiting Arusha, Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater and Manyara Lake national parks. Every place is wonderful having its own specific and interesting features.
Many thanks to Geoffrey for all the arrangements. He was easy to communicate and always ready to answer our questions, discuss the details and meet our requests.
We were lucky to have friendly and reliable Salehe as our guide. He had vast experience and knowledge of nature and readily shared them with us making our safari even more exiting.
100% recommended.

Outstanding Experience On Safari With Meru Slopes Tours & Safaris!
We recently completed a 5 day safari with Meru Slopes and it’s been the most amazing experience from start to finish!
Geofrey, the owner, was a fantastic host. He communicated very well and responded quickly to any questions before we left home, but was always on hand at his office in the hotel in Arusha too.
Our tour guide, Emanuel, was the friendliest and most lovely person you’ll ever wish to meet! He was not only extremely knowledgeable, but highly skilled and considerate and was all round just the best guide we could’ve hoped for. Emanuel shared all his passion, knowledge, and experience, and guided us through the national parks with great skill and ease.
Our travelling chef, called Gidione, made up the team and he was absolutely fantastic too! The freshly cooked meals we shared with our group, that he created at the lodges and campsites was exceptional! Breakfast, lunch and dinner surpassed anything we expected.
We cannot fault this team and all their hard work! Thank you Meru Slopes for making memories we will treasure forever.
If you are looking for a tour company in Tanzania, look no further than Meru Slopes!!

A profound Safari Experience
We were looking for a local tour operator for a safari and found Meru Slopes. We then booked a 7-day private safari to the Arusha, Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro, and Lake Manyara National Parks with Geofrey from Meru Slopes. The deposit process went smoothly, and we paid the rest on-site in Arusha. At Kilimanjaro Airport, we were picked up by a Geofrey staff member with a name tag and taken to Arusha for the first night. From there, the next day, we embarked on a 8-day journey through all the national parks with our guide Robert and our chef Dulla. We couldn't have asked for a better guide than Robert! His knowledge of flora and fauna is immense, and you can feel his years of experience and incredible enthusiasm for the beauty of nature. He has an incredible eye for spotting animals and knows the Serengeti like no other. We love photography, and many of the photos would never have been possible without his professionalism. Dulla spoiled us with freshly cooked delicacies every day, leaving nothing to be desired! We even had fresh homemade bread every day.
A personal highlight were the starry nights in the Serengeti and at the Ngorongoro Crater. Simply beautiful - highly recommended!
