best safaritour ever!!
The communications and service were perfect!! It needed just 2 mails and the safari was booked. Everything was clear since the beginning. We were picked up from the airport as agreed. Our guide Simon was the best guide we could imagine. He was so effort, knowing, considerate and talkative. Our cook "the stomach engineer" conjured delicious dishes! For breakfast we had omelettes, pancakes, sausages, toast, jam, coffee, hot chocolate. The lunch boxes were surprisingly tasty. Everything was selfmade by "the stomach engineer". These two guys made the safari an unforgettable experience!
Thank you so much for that!!

Excellent 6D5N Safari on the classic circuit (Manyara, Tarangire, Serengeti & Ngorongoro)!
We picked Meru Slopes for our 6 days, 5 nights (budget) Safari in Tanzania and were super satisfied! Communication with Geofrey is very easy and fast, he accommodated all our changes and answered all our questions. No hidden fees. Plus, there is a free extra night at the Arusha Tourist Inn at the start and the end of the tour and pick up and drop off at the airport included, so it is completely hassle-free!
Our guide Benson and our cook Richard were excellent, never pushy or stressful, and always up for just that little bit extra that makes your safari perfect! We saw everything except Rhinos, and it was an amazing experience! Food was great and plentiful! The stop at a Maasai village is completely optional, and you don't have to do it if your group decides against it. We were also pleasantly surprised by the budget campsites in Serengeti (Pimbi Camp) and at the Crater (Simba Camp) - the bathroom facilities were cleaned once a day.
I highly recommend going with Meru Slopes, everything was beyond our expectations! Do bring a little bit of toilet paper and wet wipes for the dust and don't forget binoculars! Thanks to Geofrey, Ben and Richard for making our trip so memorable!

Our tour guide Mandela and Chef Dionyses made this trip spectacular, they are gems in the industry!
Spent 2 days in Serengeti National Park and 1 day in Ngorongoro Crater and had a blast. Saw all the Big 5 and so much more. Our guide and chef made the safari a memorable experience and they had a lot of knowledge of the animals and cultures of the area.

8d/7n Safari Arusha, Lake Manyara, Tarangire, Serengti, Ngorongoro
We did an 8-Day Safari tour with Meru Slopes. The communication with Geofrey was really good, the answers came really quick and everything was excellent organised. We got a pick up from the Kilimanjaro airport late in the night and had our first two nights for included in the owners hotel.
Our safari was guided by Simon and our cook Halidi (I hope i wrote it right :D) in a Toyota Landcruiser for four people (+ staff). The first two days we got our very own private safari, the 3rd day another guy joined is. So we were a really smal group, which is really good to experience the Nationalparks on our own ways and wishes.
Simon was just awesome. He had a lot of knowledge about all the parks, the animals and always knew the best places to catch some animals we were looking for. He always had some little stories to tell about any place, animal or former tours. We had a a lot of fun with him and you could really see that he loves his job. He promised us to give all his best to satisfy us - and as we could see really fast, it wasn't just a platitude. He really did everything he could do and much more in order to give us the possibility to be able to see some cheetahs and leopards.
Breakfast, lunch (oftens lunchbox since ad midday you are in the middle of the safari) and dinner was really good and diversified considering the possibilities the cook had on a safari.
The sleep over in a tent in the middle of the serengti nationalpark was an adventure for itself. We had giraffs, buffalos, elefants and even hyenas around us.
Especially if your guide’s name is Simon you can be fortunate and looking forwards to a lifetime adventure you will never forget.
We highly recommend everyone, who consider to make a safari in Tanzania, to book it at Meru Slopes. You won't be disappointed.
Best regards

Unforgettable experience with a great driver guide
I joined a group to do a six day safari through Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater. The communication with Meru Slopes ahead of the safari was good. I had a great driver guide, Simon, who really went the extra mile to get us close to all of the great wildlife in Africa. Except for the very rare Rhino, we saw all of the animals and predators that you would expect to see on a Safari in Tanzania, including rare up-close leopards and cheetahs! After Simon's suggestion we were even able to see a bit of the wildebeest and zebra migration in the Serengeti national park. The equipment provided by Meru Slopes like tents, sleeping mats etc. were all in good condition. The food made by the cook was great and fruit was provided during breakfast and dinner. Although we saw quite a bit of breakdowns along the road, our Land Cruiser never failed. Simon is a great driver who keeps the car in excellent condition. The camping in the Serengeti was amazing, with occasional elephants, monkeys and buffalo's standing not more than twenty meters outside the camp. One night we even stumbled upon a hyena that was roaming in between the tents. I would definitely recommend booking with Meru Slopes if you're looking for a budget camping safari in Tanzania!

Above expectations Safari
The service provided was very good from the beginning when I reached the company. They were always responsive and arranged everything I needed for the Safari. The guide was very good and they provided vegetarian food during the tour. I would definitely recommend, especially considering the good value for what they delivered.

With Meru Slopes dreams come true
We booked a budget six-day safari with the Meru Slopes company, which included Tarangire NP, Serengeti, Ngorongoro, and Lake Manyara.
The whole tour was perfectly organized, and we highly recommend the Meru Slopes team to all of you who are interested in experiencing fantastic adventures! All the arrangements for the trip were made, and what Geofrey had promised was fulfilled.
Our guide was Benson, an amazing and knowledgeable guy, who is also an excellent driver. He told us a lot about Tanzania's flora and fauna, and shared with us some very interesting information what life looks like in his country. The two nights spent in the heart of Serengeti, when 4 giraffes visited our campsite, were simply unforgettable.
As for the food, it was unbelievably delicious, and all the meals that Richard (our chef) prepared made us crave for more:).
To sum up, the Meru Slopes made our dreams come true, so we would like to warmly thank the whole team (and our co-travellers) for all they have done for us!!! Asante sana, Benson, Richard, Emanuel, and Geofrey!

Magical Moments - Amazing Safari - Excellent Experience - incredible Service from Start to Finish
First of all we would like to say THANK YOU to all of the Guys from Meru Slopes - especially to
Geoffrey, Emanuel, Benson and Richard!
It was definitely more than we ever expected!
Review:
We have booked the Kilimanjaro Trek to Mandara Hut and a 6 Day Camping Safari (Trangire, Serengeti, Ngorogoro, Lake Manyara).
It was perfectly organized from the day of arrival to the day of departure.
Therefore it should be made particular mention to the Service.
The Crew from Mero Sloopes was very good and professional, from the pickup/drop off (Emanuel) and the preparations for the safari (Geoffrey) as well our Guide (Benson) and Chef (Richard).
Unforunaltey regarding the bad weather we had no view to the peak of the Kilimanjaro - therefore the tour was not worth it for us.
But our Safari was amazing! We were a group of five people and for this time it felt like we were a little family. Our Guide Benson had over 10 years of experience, and he knew everthing regarding the Flora and Fauna. We saw countless animals, including the big 5.
Our Chef Richard was also excellent! For the meals he prepared for us in only one word needed - DELICIOUS.
Conclusion:
Lake Manyara was our last Day and to be honest it wasn’t so good. We also visited a Massai Village. But there we felt uncomfortable.
We would recommend the other natitional parks especially Serengeti and Ngorogoro.

More than I ever expected
Such a nice trip! It was above my expectations. We booked the tour via e-mail. There was a little communication problems sometimes because of the english level of the guy who emailed us, but it all worked out in the end.
Tents and food was really good and the safari tour was amazing. We went to Serengeti, The Ngorongoro Crater, Tarangire National Park and Manyara National Park. Manyara was on our last Day (out of 5), and to be honest it wasn’t so good. But the other 4 days in the other national parks was amazing! We saw everything so close, and we even managed to see The Big 5! In Serengeti we saw two lions hunting down a wilderbeast in the middle of the day! So cool!
