loved this company. safari was amaizing!
Everything was amazing. From the pick up and transfer to the tour itself was perfect. 5-day safari i did was amaizing. we saw all the animals and had great time. the driver was very experienced and knew a lot about the animals and could answer any question. i recommend Meru slopes to everyone.

Just what I was looking for!
Communication with Goefrey was excellent, he replied very quickly to emails and was easy to get in touch with through whatsapp.
The service was exactly as described: airport pickup; hotel stay; meals etc. It was very well organized! We were amazed at the sights every day and learned a ton of interesting facts from our guide:)
Thank you Meru Slopes Tours!!

Very good value for money
Did the 4 nights / 5 days Manyara / Serengeti / Ngorogoro Crater trip. Excellent value for money including the 2 nights stay in the hotel before and after. Very helpful in assisting in buying bus tickets when we arrived for our departure. Would recommend as very good budget safari. Thank you very much Geoffrey and guys. Happy customers! :-)

well organized budget tour
Everyone on the tour booked through a different tour company, so I am not sure who organized the tour itself. For this reason I can only rate Meru Slopes for the time before and after the safari. They are excellent: professional, with very quick reaction time, dependable and punctual, helpful and make sure their guests are satisfied. I'd use their services again.
As for the safari tour itself: I took part in the 4nights/5 days Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro budget camping tour.
With some previous experience throughout Africa on different safaris, my conclusion is this: expect to get exactly what you paid for. There are no miracles, have realistic expectations: this is a budget tour, with very basic camping facilities (good camping equipment!) and mediocre food, but the exact same astonishing nature as any higher priced tour.
Campsites are the same for everyone, but with special dietary needs, consider a more expensive camping tour. (For more money you will get much better food, question is if it is worth for one to pay approx. 500 usd more for 4-5 days of better camp food. Maybe, maybe not.)
Our guide was ok overall (the man had huge experience and the eyes of a hawk, but not very talkative, sharing very limited info even when encouraged. Luckily I had a fantastic animal guide book with me that explained all that our guide did not.)
To sum up: in case you have general interest in doing safari, no special food requirements, and prepared for wild-camping (literally :D) take this tour with Meru Slopes, you will not be disappointed.
If you are an animal/safari enthusiast, you can still take this tour (no guarantee for a better guide on a more expensive tour), but bring along a good guide book just in case - you will be happy.
If you are a hardcore wildlife fan, find a guide through recommendations, and book a tour with him/her specifically (or ask the agency to book you on a tour with him/her). However, for an exceptional guide, prepare to pay the price.

Except the shopping schedule others are just perfect
They replied very simple but fast, and they really did everything they promised, before/ after pick-up and accomendation (very nice and comfortable ) , which is all satisfying !! the guide looks serious, but very soon I found he is so friendly and easy going. So much fun throughout our trip! And he is also very professional, telling us everything about the animals. He also has very sharp eyesight that he can always spot animals from a distance and tried everything to let us take the best photos. The cook is awesome too! Lunch box is with some limitations but the dinner was all wonderful the cook himself is very fun to talk too! I enjoyed my safari with them a lot. The only thing I dislike is we were taken to a Massai tribe, which didn’t list in our itinerary. Those people Tried to sell you souvenir desperately and the price is ridiculous ! And the chief of tribe asked me to donate to their school so straightforwardly like I owed him the money! The tribe isn’t worthy to visit because they are so impatient when introducing their culture , their only focus is how much money they can get from you! I would 100% recommend Meru Slope to all travelers but suggest saying NO to the tribe schedule directly .

I had a wonderful experience with Meru Slopes. Everyone was incredibly responsive, service was great and exactly as described, and it was amazing value for the price. The safari was absolutely amazing, and all of the guides, drivers, and hotel staff were knowledgeable and helpful. I would highly recommend them!

Amazing service from start to finish!
Geoffrey and his team were amazing, and everything was well organized for our 5D/4N trip to the Serengeti/Ngorongoro crater. From the timeliness of communication prior to arrival, to being picked up from the airport, to the stays at Geoffrey's hotel, and the safari itself, everything was seamless. When booking safaris you will often be placed in the hands of a third-party operator with people that have booked with different companies. What separates Meru Slopes from the rest is Geoffrey's service and how helpful he is. He was able to have his staff help us with getting a SIM card and drivers getting us to places that we wanted to eat at. Staying at his hotel is also a bonus, as you'll see alot of people that booked other safaris also staying the hotel. Geoffrey and his team definitely go out of their way to make sure you have everything you need!
