Well organisated, kind, disponible, perfect tour, hotel very nice
We had a really good time with Meru Slopes. Start from the organisation from our country. Jerome Hotti has been very disponible to answer all our question and make a plan for us. He was always replying for any question we had.
First day we did a visit of Arusha with Felicity and had a wonderful day. We ate in the street traditional tanzanian food and that was an amazing experience. His joy, smile and kindness has made a perfect day for us!
Then the safari!!! Much more better that we could imagine. We definitely recommend Douglas as the best guide ever!! His experience, driving skills and friendly behaviour has made of these 4 days a simple paradise. He told us about lot of things about nature, animals and Masaai culture. Always searching for the best spot for us and for making this experience unique! We strongly recommend Douglas as guide!
The hotel chosen were very good. We particularly appreciate the luxury camp in serengeti wich was an amazing experience.
So.. to summarize - thank you very much Meru Slopes to have make our dream come true and even better!

Professional
We booked a private safari tour, 7 days from Spain. Communication was always great so we weren't afraid at any moment, reliable company. Once we arrived to Arusha, a car was waiting for us even if our flight was delayed. From that point I'm out of words, this has been a wonderful experience. I want to say thanks specially to our guide, Mudy, if you have the opportunity to do this safari, ask always for him, he arrived everywhere! If there was anything to see, we were always there! Our chef Guideon was also an important part of our trip, our meals were wonderful and we were always happy with them, such a great team. Thanks for our journey, I hope you the best.

Quick to answer, quality of service to accommodate, incredible experience for a solo traveller.
The 5 days trip in Serengeti, Ngorongoro crater and Tarangire was breathtaking. This was mostly thanks to the skilled driving of Jacobo and the amazing local food prepared by Salimu. We managed to see from up close many animals, way more than we expected including cheetahs, lions, buffalos, elephants and their respective cubs. We were told we were lucky to encounter some of them, even more multiple times. My take is that the mix of the skilled driving, knowledge of the quicker ways to go around and Jacobo network to have the news and sighting before any radio announcement made it possible.
I also took the opportunity to go for a one day trip to Materuni falls and experience homemade coffee making on the coffee tour with Fidelis. He was very helpful on any question I asked since he is originally from a city not far from the falls location. We even interacted in French on top of the usual English.
Big props to Meruslopes and Geofrey for their constant quick availability on any organizational topic ! If you want to have a real adventure experience, I cannot recommend better than them.

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.

Professionalism and dedication to excellence.
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.
