Meru Slopes - 8-day Serena experience package ☆☆☆☆☆
We had Juma as our driver and couldn't rate him highly enough. He got us into the best places for the best photos, even staying longer than other cars for us to watch the animals, he also gave us the flexibility of start times and what to do each day. You tell Juma what you want and he'll cater for it. He answered our questions about all sorts of topics and was very informative each time. He got us back to the hotel / destination at the best times of day or if we were late it was for good reason to see more animals, which we had specifically asked for. The car had WiFi, electric to charge the phones and camera if necessary, a well stocked fridge (plenty of water, coca cola, wine and beer) and a lift up roof, typical for all land cruisers, for the best viewing abilities but also incredibly safe - like watching elephants walk past the back of the car the same height as you stood up viewing through the top.
Meru Slopes were quick to respond with our initial enquiries and communicated well via WhatsApp in the lead up to the trip. Leonard and the team happily confirmed payment for us as we were paying internationally and were very understanding when it took a few days for the money to wire via multiple international banks. The team arranged hotel/airport transfers for the first and last days and Leonard met us at our hotel the evening before the tour and gave us a full briefing, confirmed the itinerary etc and then again on the last evening to ensure we had a good overall trip.
We specifically booked the Serena package as it gave us very well priced access to Tarangire National Park, the Serengeti and the Ngorongoro crater. We saw all of the Big 5 on multiple occasions across the locations and so much more. Whilst that's not always guaranteed (especially for Leopards and Black Rhino) Juma was listening on the radio and searching all the time for us to see them and it paid off - more than once! The four Serena hotels/lodges were as expected from the photos and reviews seen online, with us rating the Serengeti Lodge the best of the four, but all have their each unique qualities. Make the most of the heated pool in Lake Manyara though!
Excellent organisation and meticulous planning
Jerome Hotti, is very helpful answering all our questions before we came, and met us on the first day of our safari. He organised our pick up from airport, and with hotel to hold onto our cases until we got back for our onward journey.
We meet our guide/driver Bryson Mchau who was a very good driver completely safe, who gave us information about the areas and the animals, knew exactly where to go and got information on the radio what was going on. Bryson could spot animals way off, whilst driving. The safari jeep was equipped with wifi enabling us to keep in touch also WhatsApping live video to our family. It was also equipped with a fridge which was kept stocked with drinks. We went to the Tarangire national Park first, great place saw loads of animals, then onto Serengeti national Park and Northern Seregeti, where we saw the wilderbeast crossing the Mara mara River great sight loads of animals crossing. Also did balloon flight which Jerone organised too. It was perfect. We also visited the Ngorongoro Crater, a large area with Rhino. At every park you have washrooms so you can stop and go to the loo, they have picnic areas to have lunch and all the lodges supply lunch. All the lodges were great but we especially enjoyed the tented lodge, with wilderbeast and zebra wondering all around our tent and we could hear the lions at night. Food really good here, thanks to Sarah the chef.
Throughout our visit we saw Lions, male, female and cubs. Cheetahs, Leopards, Rhinos, Elephants, Water buffalos, Giraffes, Hippopotami, Warthogs, Crocodiles, Zebras, Wilderbeast, Hyenas as well as many birds and other smaller animals.
The roads in the parks are bumpy but you don't mind as seeing the animals, but the roads to get to the parks are very dusty and bumpy.

# Johnas Made Our Safari Unforgettable – An Exceptional Experience with Meru Slopes\!
We recently had the pleasure of joining the 6-Day Group Mid\-range Tour: Tarangire, Serengeti & Ngorongoro with Meru Slopes Tours and Safaris, and it was an absolutely incredible experience from start to finish\!

We would especially like to highlight our guide, Johnas, who was truly outstanding\. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the wildlife, nature, and history of Tanzania\. No matter what questions we asked, he always had an answer and took the time to explain things in a clear and interesting way\.
Johnas went above and beyond to make sure our safari experience was as perfect as possible\. He was attentive to our wishes, patient, professional, and always focused on making our days enjoyable\. His passion for wildlife and his work was evident throughout the entire trip\.

Great
We communicated with Jerome before and during the trip; the communication was excellent from start to finish—simply a delight!
We took the 6-day trip with our guide, Godlisten, as part of a group of six—starting with a safari and followed by tribal tours.
Godlisten created a safe, fun, and welcoming atmosphere. He was always smiling, calm, and reassuring; he truly cared about everyone’s well-being, constantly checking if we needed anything, and we shared plenty of laughs together. He always prioritized our safety and was completely transparent with us wherever we went, including during the tribal visits. Throughout the safari, he taught us so much about the animals and their nature. He made us feel comfortable asking anything, always maintaining a pleasant and positive vibe.
It exceeded all our expectations; the experience was amazing. He ensured we lacked nothing, and his guiding was superb.
The chef’s food was also a perfect 10 out of 10.
Outstanding service—we highly recommend it to everyone.

Excellent value for money and saw lots of animals and birds.
Leonard the tour organizer was really helpful and made sure we had all we needed.
Nickson was an amazing guide and person, nothing was too much trouble for him, his knowledge of the wildlife was exceptional and could spot things that we couldn't see.
Our chef for the trip was Bongey who produced amazing meals for us. We were so sad to leave will never forget our African safari
