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!

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.

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

Organised, brilliant safari and good fun
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.

Really great budget camping safari
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.

Great experience
We booked a four day safari (lake manyara, ngorongoro & serengeti) with meru slopes! The guide did his best to spot all the animals and always gave us first-row views. The cook's food was very tasty, and the campsites were a great experience (who experienced sleeping between the monkeys and other wildlife ?!) but very basic (especially night 2 and 3). Meru slopes is highly recommended, definitely worth the price you pay! One note of criticism: the communication of the organisation is sometimes lacking. For instance, at the time we left the hotel to go on safari they informed us we could only take one piece of luggage because there wasn't enough space for two pieces of luggage. If we knew that beforehand, we could have mixed our clothes the evening before we left.

Couldn't have had a more perfect safari experience
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 :)

Amazing experience with great friendly guides, accommodation, food
Ask for David as safari guide. He is awesome, funny, and very knowledgeable. Also ask for Action as a chef. He made killer food for us every meal! Geofrey was also fantastic with email communication throughout the whole process.
David is the Lion King!!!!- he made us count more than 100+ lions in the wild. amazing!

4 days Safari
Got picked up from airport as agreed, very good hotel (taking into account that you are in Tanzania) and we went to safari next day. 4 days in wilderness were one of the greatest experiences in my life and supported by great cook (what he did without proper electricity and only with gas bomb was unbelievable, the chocolate cake last evening almost brought tears to my eyes :D) and driver/guide David, who was fun and knowledgable at the same time, thank you very much for everything!!
... on the other hand, be prepared that you will be staying in complete wilderness in tents, so showers/toilets might be a little "Spartan"
The Lion King David!
A trip of a lifetime! Had a lot of fun thanks to David and Action!
