Couldn't have had a more perfect safari experience
5/5

100% recommend - have been recommending this company to friends and family since returning. We had Hilary as our guide (hope I've spelt that right!) He was so friendly and relaxed and his ability to spot animals from miles away was incredible. We saw everything you could possibly see (including rhino!) He was able to answer all of our questions and was happy to adapt the tour to what we wanted. Made every effort to help us get the most out of our experience and was so knowledgeable! (knew where certain animals were likely to be hiding at what time etc). Couldn't have had a better safari so no need to go anywhere else. Very well priced as well - I found this company after hour of scouring the internet! 100% recommend this company and ask for Hilary :)

Really great budget camping safari
5/5

I was very satisfied with my 6 day budget camping safari. I saw the same large animals as people in the luxury tours, and sometimes got closer or saw more unusual animals, such as a serval cat, because our vehicle didn't have to stay with a group. Plus our guide (Sareva) seemed to know all the birds that we encountered, and there were many, but had a book to consult with if he was a little uncertain. The guide was great at finding animals, and didn't mind honoring our requests when we wanted to stop or to move on. Email communication with the office before the trip was good, the guide and cook were friendly, the food was fine, and overall it was great.

Organised, brilliant safari and good fun
5/5

I was emailing Geofrey before we left and he gave us advice about what to take and the itinerary for the safari. He said we would get picked up for the airport and I must admit, I was nervous that no one would be there when we arrived but as we walked through the airport someone was there to collect us. The hotel they provide is basic but clean and has everything you need. We did the four day safari with a group of 6 and it was brilliant. The safari was well organized, the camping was excellent and the team (Hilary and our chef) were very professional. Hilary was a brilliant guide - we saw so many animals very close up and he had excellent knowledge. I really recommend this tour - the camping was fun, the food was very good and we also made lifelong friends.

5d safari through lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngonrogonro crater: LoVED IT
5/5

Everything was as I expected it and I had a great time in Tanzania thanks to Meru Slopes! They were very flexibles on the dates for my safari and I could make the most of it! The guide (Bernard) was all you want from a guide: knowledgeable, friendly, patient...
I'll recommend it as good deal.
Thank you Meru slopes! Hope you help a lot of people have nice holidays !

Excellent safari
5/5

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
5/5

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
5/5

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
5/5

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.
5/5

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
5/5

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!
