The king of Safaris!!!
5/5

We had an amazing safari trip with Meru Slopes. Our guide, Patrick was amazing and exceptional and had great knowledge of places and animals. The hotels and lodges where we stayed were amazing too. We were very lucky to see the big 5 and some rare animals on our first trip to Tanzania. All thanks to Patrick's knowledge and eyes. He was very calm and patient to fullfil all our requests. This is a dream come true!

Custom made, excellent tour, very experienced guide
5/5

We booked an 8-day safari tour with Meru Slopes. The communication and flexibility was outstanding and the accommodations very good. Best was our guide Dani, who showed us many animals, is a very knowledgeable guide about nature and culture and was a very safe driver, he made our trip fantastic! Thank you Meru Slopes and Dani for showing us Tangire National Park, Ngongoro Crater, Serengeti central and north including wildebeast migration through the Mara river and Manyara Lake.

The best safari experience
5/5

Have recently just finished an 8 day safari which covered the 5 main national parks.

From start to finish Meru have been great and cannot fault them at all. Organizing and adjusting the tour to suit us was taking care of by Jerome, he was quick to communicate with and helped us all the way through.

We had never done a safari before so didn’t know what to expect but everything was taken care of from airport pick up to all your food and drink.

The real star of the show was our amazing driver STANLEY ! Couldn’t have asked for a better driver and I hope Meru recognizes him as a real asset to the company. He was such a genuinely nice person with great energy, that had so much knowledge of the animals and over the course of the week we felt like he was apart of our group.

Would not hesitate to use or recommend Meru for another safari trip in Tanzania.

5/5

Meru slopes promised and Meru slopes delivered ! The planing of the trip was very interactive and Almachius my point of contact at Meru slopes was very cooperative and responsive . He ensured that our itinerary in Tanzania and Zanzibar covered main attractions and parks ! The guides assigned to us in Tanzania ( Andrew ) and in Zanzibar ( Daniel) were both amazing , friendly , knowledgeable and very professional ! The few days spent with them gave us a taste of the remarkable Tanzanian people ! Our memories made during this trip with the outstanding number of pics & videos capturing the amazing wildlife , sceneries and portraits will accompany us forever ! Thank you & I will definitely be recommending you to our friends and family !

Amazing time in Serengeti, can't wait to be back!
5/5

We joined a 7-day mid-range safari tour with Meru Slopes, spending five days in Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater. Almachius the tour organiser responded to all our enquires very quickly (sometimes within minutes!) and arranged hotels based on our preferences and requests. Herman was ready to greet us at the airport and the transfer to the hotel went smoothly.

Our safari guide Asanta Heri is very knowledgeable with the African wildlife, especially birds - he could easily point out all the species we encountered in our trip. He knows the best locations and timing to see different animals. During our 5-day safari, we were lucky to see numerous species, including the big five, wildebeest river crossing, and had quite a few close encounters with the lions!

We highly recommend Meru Slopes and will definitely book with them again for our next visit. Asanteni!

One of the best collective memories in life with my family
5/5

Fast response with reasonable price.

Good driver and good condition of vehicle.

Since our trip was private, we even adjusted some part of the trip plan, our travel agency was quite cooperative.

My son managed to see all the African Big Five, precious experience.

Last day, our travel agency helped us to find a Fasten Belt for our suitcase, really appreciated it.

Best Safari ever
5/5

It was an incredible journey! We were traveling for 5 days and we saw and experienced so much. The camps were fun, the chef's food was tasty. He was very nice and helpful and always made you laugh with his cool manner. In general the people were very nice. I was particularly happy with my driver Mohammed! He accompanied us the whole 5 days and was always helpful. Thanks to his excellent general knowledge of the safari and Africa, he was able to answer all of our questions. He was also able to speak Spanish fluently so he could talk to our South American friends. He was able to fulfill all of our wishes. We also saw all the animals that we had set out to target. His driving was so good that our group was convinced that he was in the movie “The Fast and the Furious”. We also called him Vin Diesel. Thank you for this great exciting trip and experience! The safari is 100 percent worth it and worth every dollar.

Meru Slopes is a great choice
5/5

We joined tour "5 Days Camping Tarangire, Serengeti & Ngorongoro crater & Visiting Maasai" starting from July 26, 2024. This tour was offered by MERU SLOPES TOURS AND SAFARIS. We were very much satisfied with the entire tour, literally from the very beginning to the very end. The entire program was faithfully executed as described in TripAdvisor and other online platforms. On Day 1, we were picked up from our hotel in Arusha, and then had a good breakfast at the Meru Slopes arranged Arusha Tourist Inn restaurant. On Day 5, we slept at the same very nice Arusha Tourist Inn hotel. When we asked how to get to the shuttle bus to Nairobi next day after Day 5, Meru Slopes manager Geofrey immediately arranged taxi with no charge on us. That was clearly outside their normal program scope. They just always try to make guests easy and happy on everything. During 5 days of safaris, our guide/driver Rashid actively encouraged everybody in the car to form a family and help each other to achieve the common goal: to spot as many animals along the way as possible. He himself was certainly highly skillful in spotting animals and driving to the best positions to view them. We were able to see exciting wildebeests migrating  (although not seen crossing Mara River), leopard hidden on top of tree, lions, cheetahs, hippos, crocodiles, buffalos, various antelopes, birds, many elephants, zebras, girrafs, warthogs, hyenas etc. The tour facilitated a binocular and a local animal textbook. These plus our guide/driver Rashid's timely explanation, made us learn a lot while enjoying dream-like view of wild animals. He emphasized over and over again "If you respect Nature,  Nature will respect you", which was so fundamentally true. Our chef Booga, prepared every meal for us, which was always so warm, healthy and delicious. The camping contitions were much better than what we expected. Basic water, washroom, shower,  electricity were adequate enough, although some glitchs like power outages did happen. All in all, we highly recommend this tour for anyone who has a dream of doing a safari in Africa. It was so interesting, enjoyable and rewarding. Our choice of Meru Slopes is a great one.
