Best 6 days ! Best adventure with Meru Slopes Tours and Safari
5/5

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!

An incredible real safari experience, well organised, tailored, easy, fun and confortable!
5/5

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!

Pretty good guide but better cook needed
4/5

Everything was ok but the meals. I'm a vegetarian and I've been a bit disappointed with the dishes served.

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!

Accommodations, service and communications up to the minute we’re terrific! Geoffrey was very prompt in replying to my emails and all questions/concerns that I had. And the safari definitely surpassed any expectations that I had.

5 day safari
5/5

My friends and I went on a 5 day safari to Lake Manyara, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro. Geofrey was very helpful in accommodating our plans, even when one of our friends fell ill and couldn’t come with us. Our guide and cook were excellent and the quality of the safari exceeded our expectations.

Geofrey and his men are doing everything they can to make your safari a success
5/5

I had a great 5 day safari in Tarangire Park, Serengeti and Ngorongoro. Our driver was experienced for 11 years. He had a degree in biology and knew a lot about the animals. Because of him we found the Leppard who is very difficult to spot. He has a hawks eye and sees everything. He knows where the animal can be and takes you there. We saw al the big 5. The Rino we only saw in a far distance. Their numbers are few. Our cook, the chief, was a very good one. He provided us with all we needed. The car had a rooftop that opened. Six seats, you always sit near the big window. Because of the rain our host booked us a room to sleep in for 2 nights in stead of the tent we were supposed to be in. We we very glad to have had this. The tents appear to be not always resisting the rain. We noticed that a little bit in the last night, when we stayed in a small tent at Simba campsite in Ngorongoro. The waterbuffalo and zebra often come to your tent at night and in the morning. And our first night was in a tent with a normal rooftop above it with private bathroom outside at Sunbright campsite. I think we got a special treatment, I don't think it's standard you get a room instead of a tent when it's raining. I can highly recommend Meru Slopes to everybody and will happily come back to see for instance the Lake Manyara!

Nothing But amazing
5/5

- 3 friends and I went for the 3 days safari in Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro. We had 1 night at a hotel in Arusha before the safari, 2 nights in lodges, 1 night in a tent camping site and finally a night in the hotel after the safari. All of it very comfortable and neat.
We had a very experienced driver who took us trough the parks in the best possible way. We knew the good spots to see animals and he was always in contact with other drivers to find the animals we we were looking for. We saw the most amazing things thanks to him and maybe a little luck. Those goes hand in hand.
- On our tour we had a cook with us who made amazing food for us 2 times a day plus a lunchbox. He was a good guy always in a good mood and made us very happy with all this amazing food.

We are nothing but happy and thankful for a good trip and a very easy planned tour thanks to the staff of Meru Slopes!
