A Trip of a Lifetime!
5/5

Thank you Meru Slopes, Jerome and Max for a trip of a lifetime! We had the most incredible, well planned, trouble free Safari that we could have hoped for. It exceeded our expectations, in large part due to our amazing guide, Max. He made sure we were comfortable, safe and saw absolutely everything. The Big Five and so much more. The Wildebeest river crossings were a sight to behold! We have already recommended Meru Slopes and Max to many friends and family.

Amazing Safari Experience!

5/5

We went on a seven-day private mid-range safari with Meru Slopes Tours through Tarangire National Park, the Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Crater – and we were absolutely thrilled from start to finish. The entire trip was exceptionally well organized and exceeded our expectations in every respect. We would recommend Meru Slopes without hesitation!
From the initial planning to the communication throughout the entire trip, everything was first-class. Leonard, who was responsible for organizing our safari, was always reliable, helpful and made sure that everything ran smoothly. At no point did we feel that we had to worry about anything ourselves – from our perspective, it would be hard to imagine a better-organized safari.

We would also like to give special praise to our guide, Stanley. He has an impressive knowledge of wildlife, nature and the national parks. We had an incredible number of questions, and Stanley took the time to answer every single one of them, explaining everything patiently and in great detail. At the same time, he had an excellent sense of where and when the best opportunities for wildlife sightings were likely to arise. It is also a great advantage that the guides are connected by radio and share information about animal sightings with each other. Stanley repeatedly positioned us in fantastic spots, allowing us to get “up close” to the animals and take some outstanding photographs.

Thanks to Stanley, we saw all of the Big Five – four of them on the very first day! As expected, we spotted the rhino on our final day in the Ngorongoro Crater.

Overall, we were incredibly lucky during our safari. One absolute highlight was witnessing the famous river crossing at the Mara River. We only had to wait for about an hour before we got to witness this spectacular natural phenomenon. Stanley explained to us that the chances of seeing such a crossing on any given day are only around 5–10%. We also heard from other travellers that some of them had waited for four days without seeing a single crossing.

There were plenty of other encounters that we will definitely never forget. We saw a lioness immediately after a zebra kill, and one evening we even witnessed a lion taking down a large buffalo not far from our camp.

The lodges were also excellent without exception. All of the accommodations were very comfortable, the food was great, and the staff everywhere were incredibly friendly and welcoming.

One small note for future guests: We found the visit to a Maasai village interesting overall and appreciated the opportunity to gain some insight into the local culture. At the same time, however, we felt that the visit was very much geared towards getting money from tourists. From the beginning, we were of course more than happy to make a donation to support the Maasai and the village. What we found somewhat uncomfortable, though, was that several parts of the visit felt more like a staged performance, with requests for money being made at various points, more or less subtly.

At the very end, there was also an additional expectation to purchase souvenirs, which was initially presented to us as a contribution towards providing clean drinking water for the village. We were only told the prices after we had selected the items, and were then asked about our personal “budget”. We found the way this was handled relatively uncomfortable.

We are mentioning this explicitly only as a note for other travellers – it did not in any way overshadow our otherwise fantastic safari experience with Meru Slopes.

All in all, this safari was an absolute dream experience for us. The organization, communication, lodges, wildlife sightings, and especially Leonard and our guide Stanley were outstanding. We truly felt that we were in very good hands with Meru Slopes and were able to simply relax and enjoy the entire trip.

A huge thank you to Leonard, Stanley and the entire team at Meru Slopes Tours for this unforgettable week! We would happily go on safari with you again at any time and can recommend Meru Slopes without hesitation.

Can’t wait to go again
5/5

Everything with Meru Slopes worked perfectly. Almachius was always available and helped us setup our personalized safari. Our guide Omari was a wonderful companion for 5 days. Very knowledgeable and made sure we got the best pictures and that we were having a good time. On our last day we had a problem with our flights and Almachius and our driver Victor helped us on short notice. This vacation was nothing but perfect and I can’t wait to come again.

amazing adventure
5/5

Meru Slopes Tours provided us with an unforgettable Tanzanian safari from start to finish. Leonard handled all our pre-trip planning and arrival coordination flawlessly, so we felt completely taken care of before we even hit the road. We booked the Tarangire - Serengeti - Ngorongoro route, which offered spectacular landscapes and wildlife viewing. The highlight of our time on the road was definitely our guide, Nickson. He is truly top-notch. His expertise, driving skills, and ability to track animals made the experience feel incredibly special. Thank you to Leonard, Nickson, and the entire Meru Slopes team for an amazing adventure!
