Who knew an incredible Safari adventure with a baby could work!!
Planning our trip: Meru Slopes had been recommended to us by colleagues so we got in touch to start planning our trip. Kelvin immediately gave us confidence in our decision with his guidance and patience in tailoring the trip for us. We were travelling with our 18 month old baby so had many questions about how best to accommodate her on the trip. Kelvin was helpful and informative throughout. Not only that but Kelvin was a superstar when the week we were due to be travelling both myself and the baby were poorly and unable to travel. Having asked Kelvin if there was any way we could delay the trip by a week he made it happen with no extra cost. We were blown away with his support and help - our once in a lifetime trip was saved!!
Safari: Any nerves we had about how the baby would be on safari were put to rest by our incredible guide, Ombeni. Nothing was too much trouble. Hakuna matata all the way. It was no mean feat to manage Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro over 4 days but we did it and the baby was happy throughout. We saw the big 5 - something we hadn’t even imagined would be possible as we thought we’d be cutting game drives short every day. Ombeni used his expansive experience to choose smoother roads so the baby would be more comfortable; he realised that the baby was scared every time she met new people at each lodge so he discreetly let the staff know to give her some space until she felt settled. These are just a couple of the many things he did to make our safari not only a success but an absolute joy. We have had the most amazing time, lifelong memories made with our beautiful daughter (who now wakes up asking to see the monkeys every day!). We really couldn’t be happier with our experience! Thank you Kelvin and Ombeni!
Accommodation: we stayed at the Forest Hill Lodge in Arusha, Hhando Coffee Lodge in Ngorongoro, Serengeti Luxury Tented Lodge in the Serengeti, back to Hhando and then finished in Arusha Planet Lodge. All stunning. All with super accommodating and lovely staff. A huge thank you to all of the staff and to Kelvin for arranging such incredible accommodation for us.
We loved every minute and are already talking about when we might come back someday.

Great experience with Meru in Tanzania
An incredible experience with Meru Slopes. Thanks to them, we enjoyed a true African experience. Special mention to the architects of this adventure, Ezekiel (guide), Rashid (chef), and Kelvin (organizer). We couldn't have had better representatives of Tanzania. The 4-day experience is ideal, as you'll see 3 different parks, each with something special, and if you're lucky, you'll get to see the Big 5 (we only got the leopard).
Highly recommended!

Great experience with Meru
A 10-star experience, highly recommended at some point. Meru exceeded my already high expectations. Thank you for the service, which couldn't have been better. Especially to our guide Ezequiel, thank you for showing us Tanzania in this way; his company was crucial. Also to our chef Rashid for the food he prepared. And to Kelvin for the prompt and friendly service throughout.

A not to be missed safari destination
From the moment we started the booking process with Gift of Meru Slopes to the unbeatable guide service provided Stanley our trusty driver/guide/concierge/organizer, the communications and responsiveness have been top level.
We just completed an 8-day mid-range Northern Circuit safari through Tarangire, the Serengeti, Lake Manyara and Ngorongoro Crater with Meru Slopes Tours & Safaris, and it exceeded all expectations—largely thanks to our exceptional guide, Stanley.
Stanley demonstrated deep knowledge of Tanzania’s parks and wildlife. His ability to anticipate animal behavior, such as successfully predicting a cheetah’s hunt was impressive and added real depth to each sighting. He consistently found the best viewing spots, giving us incredible access to lions, leopards, rhinos, elephants, and vast herds of wildebeest, zebra, and gazelle's- so many gazelles!
His calm, expert driving on rugged roads ensured we were always safe and comfortable in his reliable, much loved Land Cruiser. Stanley handled every aspect of the trip, from navigating challenging terrain to accommodating spontaneous requests, delivering delicious lunches with professionalism, patience, and good humor. Nothing was too much trouble!
It was also evident from the greetings he received on the road that he is well-respected among fellow guides and seemed to be known in many towns that we passed, which further reinforced our confidence in him.
We’ve traveled extensively over the years, and this safari organized by Meru Slopes and guided by Stanley ranks among our very top experiences. We would enthusiastically recommend both the company and especially Stanley to anyone planning a safari in Tanzania.
Fantastic Tour Operator
We had a wonderful safari tour with Meru Slopes. Everything was well organised without a single hiccup. The Jeep was in great condition and our safari guide Omal was absolutely incredible!
