Classy all the way through
Have been on safaris in 10+ countries and our guide/driver Jacob was on his own level: super knowledgeable, relaxed, considerate and one of the most genuinely harmonious people we've ever met. We saw many leopards, cheetahs, lion cubs and couldn't have dreamt about seeing more. Being able to stay longer with the animals we preferred was another plus. Having our own chef, Salimu, made everything perfect. Very nice people all of them, Meru Slopes.

Meru Slopes was Awesome
We had a great experience with Meru Slopes. Other operators we checked with couldn't believe the price we got - which made us nervous, until we actually did the Safari. We were not disappointed. We had a great driver & guide (Daniel) who was incredibly passionate and knowledgeable about the wildlife. He taught us a lot about all the birds and wildlife, and he never hurried us to leave a spot. Our early mornings (highly recommended) meant that we had some unencumbered wildlife encounters without others around. Salim (our cook) wise likewise excellent. We are vegetarian, and Salim did a great job of making delicious food. We had different soups every night and hot lunches every day. Geofrey (the owner/manager) was super communicative, very helpful, and when we had an issue (on our end) with a bank transfer, there was never a worry from Geofrey. If you have a budget and need an inexpensive option, you will see exactly the same wildlife on this trip and the guide, cook, food & transportation is excellent.

Kilimanjaro and safari - fantastic experience
We booked two tours with Meru Slopes. 7 days Kilimanjaro via Lemosho route and 7 days safari in Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Arusha.The Charity Hotel in Arusha where we stayed between the tours was a little old but all in all also quite good. We had fantastic guides and accomodations (especially tented lodge in serengeti) and amazing cooks who served food for us every day. Our guides Izmael and Eddy always did their best to make our time unforgettable. Thanks to them and the whole Team of Meru Slopes!

Unforgettable!
We had a really nice trip, all organised, but also flexible to our wishes. Our guide Douglas gave us interessting facts (we could ask him everything) and our cook Moshi always created delicious food - both really friendly, funny and they made sure that we feel well. All sleeping equipment was available and it is a nice experience to sleep in the nature in the tent (although a little bit cold;)). Just recommendable!!

Unforgettable Safari Experience
I recommend Meru Slopes Tours & Safaris because it not only convinced with the price, but also offered a straightforward and professional service. The 5-Day Join Group Northern Tanzania Safari included 1 day Tarangire National Park, 2 days Serengeti National Park and 1 day Ngorongoro Crater (including 3 nights in National Park camps). Lake Manyara National Park was not visited after agreement.
We were an international group of 6 with 2 couples; it could not have been a better fit.
The set up of the camp went smoothly and the equipment was fine (tent, mattress, sleeping bag). I slept well. The cold shower at the Serengeti campsite is part of camping. The food was freshly prepared every day and was delicious.
From the beginning we saw many different animals, from the Big, Small and Ugly Five. The savannah and wildlife of the Serengeti enchant. Watching the lions stalk the passing herd of buffalo was an adventurous endeavor. The Ngorongoro Crater is the highlight of the safari, a paradise of wild animals. Despite our guide's best efforts, in the end only one of the big five remained undiscovered.
Jacob is a great guide, all questions were answered competently. He sees animals out of nowhere and took more distant trails to see even more. His ease with explanations and humor contributed to a fantastic atmosphere within the group. And if you are lucky, you will get the pleasure to hear the Kilimanjaro song....
Thank you Jacob, Dula and Meru Slopes for this unforgettable Safari experience!

Nature&adventure
Meru slopes gave me a fantastic adventure. From pick up and transfer to the tour itself was perfect. The 5 day safari I did was amazing. We saw all the animals and had a great time. Especially our driver, Jacob, is very experienced, knows a lot about animals and can answer any questions. I recommend Meru slopes to everyone.

Excellent experience
I should have gone to Tanzania almost one year ago, but I got Covid right before our trip. So this year was my fist time in Tanzania, but definitely not the last one. We decited to travel with Meru Slopes Toures since my boyfriend and his parents were extremly happy with them. Just like last year, we kindly requested to have the best tour guide named Douglas and amazing cook named Moshi. During our week-long trip, we visited Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro, and Serengeti. Douglas took us to places, that looked totally unaccessible due to heavy rains, but he managed every single road. And it was totally worth it, because all together we saw 95 liones, 3 leopards and 1 cheetah in just one week (keep in mind that this was during low season when the grass is quite high & we were more exited for big cats, even though seeing other animals was exiting as well). While Douglas provided us with new information and unbelivable sightseeing, Moshi prepared delicious fresh and warm food, so our bellys were always full. I think it is important to highlight the fact that we asked for two vegetarian meals, one of which had to be done according to a special diet and Moshi managed to make something for everone. We really took the roads less traveled and that allowed us to spot some of the predetors that were in hiding, and that other groupes did not have a chance to see. Douglas and Moshi were not just kind and warmhearted people, they were unbelivably helpfull whenever we asked for anything. They helped us set up our tents and took care of each and every problem that might have occured, so we really did have the best travelles possible.
After one week, we continued our way to see Kenya as well. While saying goodbye and after they left us at the Kenya border, we all cryed. If you want to be accompanied with people that really love nature and have great passion for animals, you should definitly pick Meru Slopes Toures and ask for Douglas and Moshi. Teust us, you will not be disappointed. I really hope you will love Tanzania just as much as I did, because natures provides amazing things, if you just care enough to give it a chance.

Everything worked well!
I would recommend Meru Slopes Tour. I attended 4-days shared safari with guide Douglas and Yohan. There was a small change in the proposed program but it did not matter. We saw all possible animals and everything was well organized. Good food as well. I attended the budget tour so accomodation was in basic campsites but clean and sufficient. Airport transport included. Overall positive experience.

Magic experience!
Amazing and unique experience of life time. We were lucky and saw the big five and witenessed cheetah eating her pray ( wild beast). Our guide Douglas was very skilled and kind, we learn a lot of things with him. The food made by the cook (Yohan) was very tasty. All over, everything was well organised, the communication was perfect. I highly recommend the agency Meru slopes,

Wonderful Safari with Meru Slopes
We got the safari at Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorogoro with Meru Slopes Tours & Slopes around end of April. Before departing for Tanzania, we contacted for reputable companies through "safari booking.com" and chose finally Meru Slopes. Not only did the company offer a reasonable price, but Mr.Geofrey satisfied us with prompt replies to our various questions. Our guide was Mr.Douglas. He had many experience as the best guide and a deep love for wild animals and Tanzanian culture. Because of that, we had a happy time during the trip. The grassland in April was green and vast, and the wild animals living on it were amazing and impressive. After the safari, we trusted the Meru Slopes and had daily tour to Chemka Hot Springs with Meru Slopes additionally. This tour was also very good. We would like thank again Mr.Geofrey, Mr.Douglas and Mr.Nuru(airport pick up/drop and Chemka tour) for helping to make our trip an unforgettable one in life.
