Great company with the best guide
Firstly I have to give 5 stars for our guide (Andrew) and chef (Moshi). I can say with confidence that they made the tour amazing. Moshi was so friendly, fun and most importantly made the best food for us. Andrew was well organised, provided so much info, was always smiling and engaging with the group and most importantly lead us to the animals and had some inhuman ability to spot so many animals while also driving that the rest of us often couldn’t even see with our eyes. We met other guides and spoke to other travelers about their guides and we got the feeling all were not equal so if you get the chance to go with Andrew, take it.
The company itself were good and easy to deal with, had decent vehicles and equipment so no complaints at all.
With the tour schedule, we did 4 days 3 nights. First day was about 7 hours driving to Serengeti however half of that was in various wildlife areas so you do see animals on the way. The afternoon was in the Serengeti although it is via a common route mainly for the benefit of getting to the camp. The camp was very basic, which we knew going into it, but was a great experience as animals roam the campsite at night as there are no fences. The next day was half day drive in Serengeti before heading off to Ngorongoro campsite which was about 5 hours (still seeing animals during the drive). Overall the Serengeti was okay but it’s so large and already out that we didn’t see that any animals and o would recommend having a full day there instead of what we did as you then go further and should see more. Also wet season should be avoided if possible as you see so many less animals- grass is too high and animals don’t congregate at watering holes. Day 3 at Ngorongoro was by far the best and the highlight for everyone. The crater itself is a view to behold but more importantly the quantity / density of animals, the fact they cant / don’t generally leave due to the crater walls, the flatness (easier to see animals) and the small size so easy to get around makes it perfect for wildlife spotting. It is relatively small though so 1 full day or a half day is all that is required. We then stayed in a decent lodge on our last night before visiting Tarangire NP for half day on day 4. I would say animal spotting was similar to Serengeti (probably not great for us due to it being wet season) but it’s still nice and has a great landscape which includes the large baobaba trees.
We were super lucky to see the big 5 during this trip with the most elusive, leopard, spotted once on our last day in Tarangire literally in the last 15 minutes as we were driving out.

Best price and best experience, best tour ever
It satisfies all your dreams and request. We asked for information and they had the best price, they answered always really fast to all our questions and they did exactly what we asked for. Our guide Mudy was excellent, he had a lot of experience and a nice sense of humour. I enjoyed our stay with him so I highly recommend him. Our chef Guideon was also really good, we enjoyed all our meals, we were really happy with both of them. After the trip we had the accommodation and meals included too, which was a nice surprise.
They work hard to make the client happy and you see it from the first moment that you arrive there, they give you confidence so I'm sure I will recommend them everywhere.

Unforgettable Tanzanian Safari with Meru Slopes Tours and Safari
From the moment we embarked on our 5-day Tanzanian adventure, Meru Slopes Tours and Safari orchestrated an experience that was nothing short of magical. The attention to detail was impeccable, ensuring a seamless and perfect journey throughout.
Our guide, Samuel was a treasure trove of knowledge, making every game drive an educational delight. His expertise and assistance were unparalleled, contributing significantly to the richness of our safari.
The accommodations and culinary offerings were top-notch, enhancing our stay with comfort and delectable tastes. It was a joy to return to such hospitality after each day’s exploration.
A heartfelt shoutout to Mr. Geofrey Nassari and his stellar team at Meru Slopes for their professionalism and dedication to excellence. Their efforts made our trip a memory we will cherish forever.
Special mentions go to Fidelis, our ever-smiling airport driver, another essential member of Meru Slopes staff.
We are already looking forward to our next visit to reconnect with our new friends at Meru Slopes and the wonderful people of Tanzania. Thank you for an extraordinary safari that exceeded all expectations!

Just an amazing Experience
I had a 5 days safari tour in February 2024, Tarangire, 3 days in Serengeti and last day in Ngorongoro crater, very lucky to be in the migration period and we saw almost all the possible animals. It was one of the best tour I have ever experienced, Meru Slopes was perfectly organised, very easy to comunicate with them for the organisation and everything, during the tour the guide was very confident and ready to help with everything.
We had an unforeseen in the Ngorongoro but they were very good to reorganise my trip. I really recommend them for an unforgettable safari experience

Great Safari with great Operator
Everything was super organized. Contact in advance via WhatsApp, offer by email and all questions were answered directly and without delay. Jerome went out of his way to answer all questions at any time. Even when it was very late in the evening in Tanzania, he still answered questions. Also on site, he was always available and took care of every concern. Thank you for that.
The safari was also very well organized. Our guide Douglas was great and we couldn't have asked for a better guide. His knowledge of animals and nature was insane. A really great person who did everything to ensure we had a wonderful safari.
Please give the smaller providers a chance instead of making the large providers even bigger. You won't regret it if you trust Meru Slopes.
The timing was always clarified with the guide the day before, there was always cooked food at lunchtime and drinks were available the whole time. It was also possible to turn on WiFi in the vehicle.
At short notice, our guide made sure that we could change accommodation in the Serengeti so that we could see as many areas as possible. Remember that the Serengeti is endless.
I can recommend Meru Slopes to everyone and I would choose Meru Slopes again on the next tour.

Wonderful Experience with Meru Slopes!
We did 5 days Safari with Meru Slopes. The experience was amazing, they took care very well of us and they were all very kind: Geoffrey, Dula and of course: Patrick!
Patrick was our guide and he was so smiley, so nice so hakuna matata. He never stopped looking for animales for us to see them and take pictures. He was patient and you could feel he truly loves nature and animals.
In terms of price, each dollar paid was worth it, and checking with other agencies, we realized they have competitive prices in the market. So really don’t hesitate to take them as safari operator. Thanks Meru Slopes for such a great experience 🦁🐆

Amazing
We went on a group tour with two other couples. Such an amazing experience, and better than we could have imagined!! Moshi made great meals every day and Patrick took us on the best game drives. We felt taken care of through the whole trip. We will definitely use Meru Slopes for our next safari and hopefully get to go on our safari with Patrick and Moshi again.

Amazing guide!
We really loved this tour. Communication was excellent from the start with one person on whatsapp who replied promptly. Pick up to and from airport and accomodation was included.
Our guide Saleh was EXCELLENT. He found us the big 5 and kept the tour interesting with facts about the animals. He knew good spots to find animals and was constantly on the radio to pick up other tips. He drove extremely well and at a fast pace - we saw lots of other Jeeps getting stuck and actually helped them out.
Also excellent cook Buga - especially his potato chips!! He provided home cooked meals every day for breakfast/lunch/dinner rather than plastic lunch boxes.
Would highly recommend this company and team :)

Excellent Services
I was assisted by Jerome in arranging the trip; very accommodating, 3 days of safari experiences in Serengeti and Ngorongoro and one day hiking to Shira Plateau Kilimanjaro was amazing with Meru Slopes. Good guidance from Jacob for the Safari, tasty food by Dullah during the Safari, and a friendly accompaniment by David for the hiking

Wonderful trip with wonderful people
Thank you very much for an amazing experience! It has been a true pleasure to go on safari with Meru Slopes!
Our wonderful driver Jacob has shown us all the best of Tarangire, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro. Jacob has been a skilled guide who has taken us safely and smoothly and shown us the incredible wildlife of Africa. He is always in a good mood and creates a great atmosphere.
The trip would not have been the same without dear Moshi. Our very skilled chef who has provided us with fabulous meals at all times of the day. He always has a smile on his face and is incredibly pleasant to everyone. He is a fantastic man who deserves a lot of praise!
Together, Jacob and Moshi have given us fantastic settings, good structure, security, and a very memorable trip from start to finish. Thank you so much! Meru Slopes has also been a great organizer of our safari. They respond quickly to emails and assist when needed.
Warmest recommendations if you want a fantastic safari!
