Excellent safari
This is best price budget safari I found on internet. In price are included two nights in hotel and transport from/to Kilimanjaro airport. I go on 5 days budget camping safari. Camps are basic, but cook and food are great. Our guide Hilario was very good and knowledgeable and are able to see wild animal even when we hardly see them with binoculars. Owner of this company Geofrey is very nice man, and respond to my mails very quickly.
If you look for budget safari don't look any further this is best option.

Excellent safari company and amazing overall experience! 100% recommended
We were a group of 4 friends doing a 5-day safari visiting Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro crater. We contacted several agencies when we started organising the trip and Meru Slopes Tours & Safari were the ones providing the best prices and itineraries amongst all. Geofrey (the owner) was very quick responding to emails and very accommodating with all our enquiries, including itinerary changes and dietary requirements. He also arranged for our airport pick-up from Nairobi the day before the safari and drop off at Kilimanjaro airport on the day after we finished the safari, all included in the price. The price also included two nights at Arusha Tourist Inn prior and after the safari; so a very good deal overall. The service throughout, from booking the safari, to arranging pick-ups and solving all queries and issues we had was excellent, very attentive, friendly and helpful.
Geofrey designed the itinerary as per our requirements and just including the parks we wanted to visit; they were very flexible and accommodating, and the overall experience was amazing. We camped one night in a beautiful cabin close to Tarangire National Park, two nights in tents in the middle of Serengeti and another night in a campsite at the top of Ngorongoro Crater. The experience of sleeping surrounded by animals was thrilling and unique! And most importantly, our guide/driver (Hilary) and cook (Godfrey) for our trip were the best ever!! They were very professional, knowledgeable, fun and friendly, so they made the safari even a more enjoyable and unforgettable experience :). So I would recommend 100% to book your safari with Meru Slopes Safari & Tours.
Thank you all for making this trip so incredibly special!

Great and well arranged experience
We had a wonderful 5 days camping safari in Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro. We booked the "small group" with 3 people, 2 others joined and it was a nice group, still enough space in the car for all. Driverguide was very knowledgeable and sensitive to our needs and wishes, also a very good driver. Tents were pitched up for us, equipment was ever clean. Food was prepared by a really good cook, delicious and plenty, including packed lunch for the safari. We would do it again!!

Great experience in Tazania
My first time in Tazania,and I'm so lucky to go with Meru Slopes Tours，the owner Geofrey and sales manager are so kind，they are think of the customers need,they're like your friends instead of business men.My guide John is experienced and always takes care of me.I've learned a lot of local cultures from him.that'll make my experience in Tazania more happier. Also the staff of Arusha Tourist Inn are nice people.The guard of the hotel accompanied me to change money and find restaurant since he was afraid of as a lonely female foreigner,it may be not safe to go around. I really appreciate them all. If I had another chance to go back to Tazania, I definitely go with Meru Slopes tours again.

Unforgetable expirience.
We did 4 day budget safari that included Lake Manyara, Norongoro and Serengetti. We chose Meru Slopes because if the conpetetive price. The safari exceeded our expectations we enjoyed every moment of it. The trip was very well organized and the guide, chef and tour operator put all their heart to make our safari a wonderful experience. The only recommendation I'd give is to perhaps opt for an upgradated option in Norongoro. We stayed in a really nice canpsite in Manyara and Serengetti,. In Norongoro the campsite had ananzing location but it was really cold at night. Although we were warned the temperature was going to be very cold , we didn't expect it to be that cold.

4-days safari- Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongou
Beautiful Parks with lots of wildlife! Geofrey the owner was quick to respond to emails and very accommodating. He arranged for late night airport pick-up and an extra night at Arusha Tourist Inn. Safari itself was well managed. The guides took us close to the animals. The cook prepared good meals and took care of my dietary restrictions.
For a camping safari, this was very well setup. I had a great experience and would highly recommend Geoffrey and his team for anyone looking to experience Tanzanian safaris!

Amazing experience, with an eye for detail to make your journey as good as possible.
Booking a safari can be quite difficult, therefore I would like to start by telling the communication was fast, correct and anything was up for discussion. Pickup is included in the price from Arusha or Kilimanjaro airport, which is a big plus. Also, the night before departure and night of return are included in the price, sleeping in the Arusha tourist in, a very Nice and clean hotel in Arusha city with surpisingly good good and accommodation. The safari itself is all you would expect, we did tarangire, Serengeti and ngorongoro in a camping budget formula. We had the luck of sharing the car with a couple of similar age (25-28), which the company keeps in consideration they told us. This also is a Nice plus in making the safari as pleasant as possible. the camping was basic but very exciting (Elephants walking through, hyena's at night,...) But never felt unsafe. The good was outstanding, every group has a chef who travels from campsite to campsite and prepared more than recent Meals (fresh pizza, roasted chicken, fresh vegetables, etc..) the combination of seeing more animals then i can remember, having a great young guide and chef (Hillary and Salim!), Good Company and a professional organisation who did literally everything to make the trip superb (including asking our opinions, wishes,..) made this the trip exceeding my expectations. Can highly recommend! Thanks again Hillary too, i guess a lot depends in the guide and how far they are Willing to go for you. Hope this review helps the organisation, as Well as People trying to book a safari! Matthias, Antwerp, Belgium.

Impressive professional service, excellent safari guide, cook and amazing wildlife!
My sister and I joined a 4 day safari to Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater with Meru Slopes Tours & Safaris. I was really impressed from the prompt responses to our beginning enquiries to the actual tour itself. We arrived at Arusha airport where someone was waiting to transport us to the hotel. We had a one night stay before and after the tour at the Arusha Tourist Inn Hotel included in our package. The hotel was clean, with hot showers and comfy beds with mosquito nets. They have a lovely restaurant where we enjoyed a delicious vegetable curry and fresh juice! The safari definitely exceeded my expectations for budget camping. The tents included a mattress and pillow, and sleeping bag if you needed. They were set up for us at the campsite, though we did help as I think its all part of the fun. We had amazing food cooked fresh for us everyday by our safari cook. Best cucumber soup ever! In terms of facilities the campsites had flushing toilets and showers - I would take an extra roll of loo paper next time! Our driver/guide had great local knowledge and did the best to help us to see lots of wildlife, which we did! Overall we had a fantastic experience and I would highly recommend Meru Slope Tours & Safaris. A huge thank you to Geofrey and the team!

Low cost, excellent value
My girlfriend and I booked with Meru Slopes. They were the cheapest option, with the better reviews. They organised everything for us. They include pick ups and drop offs from Arusha or Kilimanjaro airport within the cost. We got a hotel stay before and after the safari. Rooms were great.
Safari - On time for pick up. Driver/guide is cautious on the rough roads, so always felt safe. Tents the same as every other tour company around. Food was excellent!! Guide was not the most knowledgeable, but there were some books to look through, and did well spotting things. No real complaints. Meru gave a gift also after the tour. If you are planning on doing this trip, and want to do it by tent, then I see no reason for not using Meru Slopes, as why pay more for the same (or worse) service.
