Absolutely amazing, great value for money, highly recommended!
We went for a 4 day group safari with Meru Slopes at the beginning in February 2021. We chose to explore the 3 most famous parks: Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater. Meru Slopes offer best price and value for money. Our guide Jacob and cook Richard were both friendly, funny, professional and made us fell like one big family. We were other first the leave the camp site and last to come back.
Special thanks to our driver Jacob, who went extra mile to get us very close to every animal and worked very hard to ensure we get to see everything we wanted. He made us discovering the farthest part of parks, meeting wildest animal and thanks to his knowledge and experience we saw the Big Five plus many more animals. Jacob were patient and answered every question we had about animals and landscape. He made us feel safe and comfortable throughout and was the key to us having such a great and life changing experience.
Big thanks for our cook Richard who cooked delicious food for us and surprise us with bottle of wine each evening. Food was varied and fresh. There was always plenty of food and drinks. We were never hungry or thirsty. Meru Slopes will work with any dietary requirements you have.
The jeep vehicle had charges for phone and batteries. Car was very comfortable, spacious and well maintained. The tents, mattresses and sleeping bags were clean. All the equipment were perfect.
We also want to thank you Geoffrey and Emmanueli for their professionalism and perfect organisation. It started with fast and clear communication regarding the trip and what it entailed. Geofrey always responded in a matter of hours and answered all our questions. They arrange all transfer for us, booked 2 nights in very nice hotel - Venice Arusha and also booked for us bus tickets (all included in safari price). Driver were waiting for us when we arrive in Arusha airport and most importantly in early morning to take us to bus station the day after safari. They went above and beyond to make our trip enjoyable and stress free.
Thanks for wonderful experience Meru Slopes! We definitely recommend going with this company. Don't hesitate to book. Asante sana! Aga and Kasia

Just perfect! Everything you need to arrange tour without problems and enjoyable
I had two tours with Meru Slopes, 4-day lodge safari and kilimanjaro materuni waterfall in Feb 2021. Everything with this agency was excellent. The price was ok, there were a lot of inclusions, Mr Geofrey was extremely responsiveness to our 1000 questions we have had, the hotels in safari were extremely good, all their personnel extremely carrying, open, and pleasant. Special thanks to Asantaeli, Godfrey, Nuru, Prica and Emanuel. Excellent team. The programs are well crafted and the organisation is perfect. I recommend this agency with full confidence. Thank you Meru Slopes.
Perfect!
Service was impeccable! The guys were absolutely great! They went out of their way to make us feel happy, safe, well-fed!And they made sure we saw everything - with no hurry!
There's no better company out there!

Safari of our dreams!
You can book your safari with virtually any operator.
BUT if you want;
- Reliability
- Professional planning
- Trip customization to your expectations AND the season
- Excellent communication
- Selection of the best lodges
- Super tasty food and to not worry about water or other drinks
- Modern cars that can both endure the wilderness and provide maximum comfort
Then our guide - Douglas.
He was not only taking us “from point A to point B” - he was truly caring for us, making sure that we are comfortable and that all our wishes are fulfilled. He knows the area like his home and brought us to totally unexpected places.
Douglas is also an excellent animal tracker. He was able to spot rare species in the distance, but also drove to the special sites so we could see them very close.
He is also a good chat partner so we have enjoyed the long trip also in this aspect.
Ask Godfrey from Meru slope to be guided by Douglas. You will have fun and enjoy your safari just as we did!

Excellent experience!
We are on a 5 day Safari with Meru Slope tours in Serengeti and Ngorongoro. We have Idd as a guide and this Safari is better than we have dreamed. Idd knows everything about everything out here and is super flexible, which we needed when our one daughter was sick when we were leaving.
The camp sites are simply so good! And we've seen so much in the first few days. I'm SO glad we didn't order through a Danish company. Meru Slope Tours is local and is so super skilled and professional that we not only feel safe, but also get the most amazing experience.
Thanks! Especially to our sweet and knowledgeable guide.

Epic Safari!
So we decided very last minute to take a big trip to see out 2021 once and for all and after reading a few reviews I picked three Safari companies to reach out to.
Geofrey at Meru slope tours Safaris was not only the most responsive but also the most proactive in tailoring a program to meet our needs and timetable. Within three days (including a 10 hour time zone difference) we had the whole thing planned and booked. Payment is easy with a few ways to pay and so we packed our bags and headed off.
When we arrived Geofrey met us at the airport and took us to our hotel for the first night. There he explained how the next week would look and, that if it was ok with us, he would like to change around the order of the days so as to have the best chances of seeing the Migration. This was based on information he had just got from his guides in the field. I loved this approach and of course we agreed.
The next morning we were met at the hotel by our guide and travel companion for the next week. Douglas packed us up and we chatted about what we were doing for the day and we headed off.
Now to describe Douglas as a great Guide would be like describing Albert Einstein as a decent math teacher. He is amazing, truly phenomenal!!!!!
Douglas is friendly, funny, smart, incredibly knowledgeable about every aspect of this part of the world and all the creatures who call it home. But the best thing is he has eyes that can spot a Leopard hidden high up in a tree from 200m all while driving by at 50kph. Unbelievable!!! Oh and did I mention he speaks 11 languages?
Our experience with Douglas and Meru slope tours Safaris will stay with us for a lifetime, it really couldn’t have been better and way exceeded my expectations.
We saw and experienced more than we could ever have hoped for and although I know a large amount of luck is involved when looking for animals in the wild, having a guide like Douglas supported by a company like Meru slope tours Safaris really does make a difference.
If you want to know you have put your trust in the right company for your tailor Safari, then can I just say this;
Go Meru slope tours Safaris!

Best safari Ever!
We have just returned from a trip of a lifetime with Meru slope tours . Our guide and driver "Mshana" lived up to his name and use this experience and skills to get us up close and personal with 64 lions, 2 Leopards, 1 Cheetah and countless Elephants, Baboons, Zebras, Giraffes, Jackals, Hyenas, Warthogs and game. We upgraded our accommodations in the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater which was a wise move as we have several night of luxury in the wild with specular views. One of our party had stomach issues and Geofrey and Mshana leapt into acton providing medicine and world class care. Overall if you are going to take this one in a life time adventure make sure you do it in style with Meru slope tours and safaris and request Mshana as your guide!
Amazing experience!
Short version: I cannot recommend Meru Slopes enough! I went on the 5 day budget safari. The safari itself was fantastic and the food was delicious and plentiful. Jacob (guide) is amazing!
Long version: I found Meru Slopes online while planning my trip to Tanzania. I found Geofrey (owner?) to be responsive and helpfully answered my endless questions. He arranged pickup from the airport and was at the hotel to greet me upon arrival. The hotel is centrally located in Arusha with immaculately clean rooms, good free breakfast and helpful staff. Day 1 of the safari, Geofrey was there again to personally introduce me to the safari guide, Jacob, and cook, Richard.
Throughout the five days, Jacob was kind, charismatic, and incredibly knowledgeable about animals, plants, and local cultures. His eagle eyes spotted everything while still managing to masterfully navigate African roads. Richard consistently delivered delicious meals that were varied and massive! I frequently felt bad for the other groups we saw eating dry sandwiches from their packed lunch boxes. Not one member of our group had a single complaint for the duration of the safari. After the safari, geofrey provide additional assistance and transportation to the bus station. Book your safari with Meru Slopes!

Perfect job
The best of all. The company made us a perfect experience. The driver and the cook were perfect also. We saw so many beautiful things, that we did not hope. Had lions, cheetah, rhino, buffalo, elephants, zebra, gnu, jackal, hyena, and so on. The food was perfect, the tent was clear and big, the driver had big experience in finding animals and had the answer for all of our questions. The washroom was perfect clear at all locations (in camps and on the road also).
