Magnificent experience
5/5

Great experience with Meru from start to finish!
No intermediaries from Spain so the price is more competitive.
The vehicles are maintained as well as possible worrying about your safety.
Our guide and driver Mudi speaks Spanish and knows the roads of the great extensive plains which made us always arrive early to see the animals in the wild.
We were able to see the big 5 (leopard and rhino from a distance as it is complicated and you have to be lucky) but the cheetahs that are more difficult to see we saw them very well, even a crocodile eating a hippopotamus! Highly recommended experience from the drivers Mudi Jackson Jerome Daniel... they will make your experience unforgettable along with the people from the lodges (we hired the luxury version) we do not know what the others will be like but from Meru they will make your stay a great adventure to remember.

TOP experience
5/5

Unique experience that I really recommend doing at least once in your life.
Since before booking we were put in contact with Almachius who clarified and managed all our doubts/needs.
The program was presented to us from the beginning in all the details (itinerary, where we would sleep, what was included etc).
We did the private budget safari, so a “budget” solution with 3 nights in a tent and 3 in lodges/hotels outside but a car just for us.
Our guide Jackson was with us 7/7 days and helped us with everything, stopping at our every need and request.
The experience in the tent was very spartan but unique and is a bit part of the trip, however hearing the animals from the tent in the middle of the park at night is priceless!
The surprise of the holiday was our chef Yohane, who for 7 days stuffed us with everything, breakfasts/lunches/dinners always super varied and super abundant, as well as really good!! Always eaten like a god, even too much, and never had any stomach problems.
I strongly recommend going on safari and I can say do it with Merù Slopes!

Meru Slopes is a reliable agency which offers amazing trips with reasonable prices.
5/5

We had an amazing 7-day tour with Meru Slopes. Everything is clear and well-organized from the beginning to the end. Audax is an excellent manager who always answers the email timely and clearly and gives useful advice. Our guide Sandy is knowledgeable, experienced and easy-going and he is always try to get close to animals on the premise of rules and find the excellent angles for us to appreciate them. Not only do we learn something about wildlifes and nature from him, but also had super duper happy memories with him. Will strongly recommend Meru Slopes to my friends.

Great safari experience!
5/5

Super recommended agency to organise your safari!
We are a couple and have just finished our 6-day/5-night tented safari with our guide Godfrey and our chef Gidion. The first compliments definitely go to the two of them: Godfrey fulfilled our daily requests to see the big five (and we saw them all, more than once) and took us through the beautiful landscapes, dictating relaxing rhythms and taking us to the most remote places where we could be alone with the animals. Gidion delighted us with his always express cooking, preparing succulent and extremely varied dishes for each meal.
Another fundamental element was Jerome, who during the remote organisation phase was always super helpful: we organised a dedicated tour, visiting Tarangire NP, lake Natron (we highly recommend the small trek to the waterfalls with the Maasai guide), northern serengeti, central serengeti and ngorongoro.
What can I say, everything was perfect, safari above our expectations: trust Meru Slopes and you will be extremely satisfied!

There can be no better tour operator for Wild life Safari
5/5

From the very moment we found Meru's 5 day wildbeest group safari programme, we didn't have to look behind. The programme seemed to be tailor made and affordable. Our inquiry got immediate resopnse from Meru, and Jerome contacted us as our tour consultant. He replied to all queries. He booked our bus tickets from Arusha to Dar es Salam. He told us that we would be picked up from the Kilimanjaro airport at midnight of 16/08 and would arrange for accommodation without any cost and the promise was kept. We were also promised that Meru would make arrangement for our accommodation for the night of the last day of the safari and would transfer us to the bus boarding point. They kept it. As such whatever was told or promised, all were kept, may be more.

Our tour guide Dunhil was excellent. The way he steered us all over the forests of Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro was amazing. We saw everything possible. We saw lions skinning there prey, a buffalo. We saw lions drinking water from a roadside hole. He manouvered his vehicle all the way to show the famous and rare wildbeest migration, crossing the Mara river. Dunhil as a person was the best, jovial, witty and smiling.
Our chef Giodan requires special mention. He cooked nice. But his way of serving food and drinks without being tired eas commendable. He also extened all sorts of help to make the tour the best.

We selected Meru as our operator seems to be the best decision we made. And this safari would be lifelong memorable.

The Perfect Safari experience, August 2024


After several years I made my wishes come trough: our family went to Africa to touch the real Safari Experience. We were very lucky to choose Meru slopes as our preferred Safari Tour Operator. Jerome, our first point of contact, was so professional with his perfect English to answer all our questions and accommodate our needs. It created a customized trip as we wanted: we landed in Arusha and departed to start the Safari to Tarangire national park with Salehe: our guide for the 5 days. Salehe did a great job, he is very knowledgeable, kind, and very open to assisting you with our requests (if any), he did reply to all our questions, he wanted our 2 girls to feel happy and he did :), thanks very much.
We continued our trip to Lake Maniara, Serengeti and Ngororo: such wonderful and amazing places. All were very planned in terms of accommodation, and time management, can t complain at all. We ended our trip to Zanzibar in Paradise wonderful island with all that nature can give in terms of food, fish, and people. We met Daniel who was our local guide there. He did explain everything about the island and we did raise a lot of questions :). We had the privilege to see the Dolphins and snorkeling with all the colored fish around, great activity ended with a very tasty fish lunch. I have to say that these 3 people made a different to our trip: all focused on us, I recommend Meru Slopes if you're thinking of doing a safari, very professional and very great and amazing people: Jambo Jambo, Asante Sana, Marina, Arturo, Marta, and Sara.

5/5

We came to Tanzania for the Safari and chose Meru Slopes to be our guide. During the trip, our guide is Saleh and our chef is Buga, they’re both very friendly and provided excellent service and explanation for us. The car used for the Safari was comfortable and clean, and free WiFi was included. We saw lots of animals during the trip, elephants, leopards, cheetahs and other animals. Saleh is really good at finding the animals which made our trip wonderful. I am sure if I will come to Tanzania again, I will choose Meru Slopes again.

Fantastic company!!!
5/5

Meru Slopes provided my husband and me with an unforgettable safari experience in Tanzania! From the start, their pre-trip communication was timely, detailed, and put us at ease (thank you, Jerome!). Our guide, Kunda, was exceptional—his deep knowledge of animal behavior and his insider insights truly elevated our adventure. He was not only an experienced and safe driver but also a wonderful human being who made our trip extra special. Thanks to Kunda, we saw every animal on our list and more. Delicious food and wonderful accommodations! We couldn't have asked for a better experience and highly recommend Meru Slopes to anyone looking for an incredible safari!
