a very good local tour company
I chose this local tour operator after comparing many others. I was quite worried before departure, but my safari organizer Kelvin Bonith and safari guide Ezekiel were absolutely amazing. The hotels they booked were exactly what I wanted—no last-minute changes or unexpected issues at all.
My driver was a pleasant surprise. He’s an excellent driver; even on difficult, muddy roads in the rain, he drove steadily and never got stuck. He’s also very clean and keeps the car tidy every day. He’s incredibly hardworking—he took us out to look for animals as early as 6 a.m. every day, and we only returned to the hotel after 6 p.m. He always tried his best to take us to see whatever animals we wanted to find. He’s such a kind person and shared so much professional knowledge about animals along the way. I really hated to leave him, and I will definitely look for him again on my next trip.

Incredible
Muri and Buba made our experience incredible. The food, the hotel, the camp, the safari—everything was a dream. We went on our honeymoon, and it was the best decision we made to go with them. We're so happy! Thank you so much!
Excellent service
Meru Slopes picked us up from Kiliminjaro Airport and took us to the Kibo Palace Hotel in Arusha. The next day a very embarrassed Kelvin was obliged to tell us that our Holiday Company (Verikson Holidays) had failed to pay. Kelvin spent the day with us taking us to the African Art Museum in Arusha. We managed to persuade Verikson to pay and later that day the funds went through. At the very last minute on the next morning Meru Slopes managed to get the 2 of us off on a 4 day safari into Tarangire, the Serengeti (2 days) and Ngorongoro National Parks. Max was our driver. He was a careful driver, considerate, polite, had a sense of humour and seemed to have an uncanny ability to find wildlife without often being surrounded by other Toyota Land Cruisers. Thanks very much Max. Our accommodation was changed from that booked due to the necessary last minute bookings given Verikson Holidays overdue payment. Nonetheless we were satisfied. On the 5th day Meru Slopes gave us a courtesy cultural tour, a village tour which was enlightening, interesting and worthwhile then a visit to a Maasai village which was a little too touristy for our taste. That evening Kelvin joined us at our hotel to apologise for the disruption to our holiday, not that we held Meru Slopes responsible. He also presented us with gifts. The other drivers; Edson and Joseph (?) were also very pleasant. We would highly recommend Meru Slopes (but advise everyone to never use Verikson Holidays!).
Safari dream trip
We wanted to express our gratitude to Almachius who set up our 7-day safari in Tanzania and our amazing guide, Jacob, who facilitated our dream trip.
Every detail was planned to perfection from the moment we were picked up at the airport in Arusha (at 2:30am!) to our drop off again at the need of our incredible week.
Jacob guided us through Tarangire, Serengeti, Ndutu and Ngorongoro with expertise. We were often the first to witness lions, giraffes, elephants and so many more beautiful animals, due to the experience and eagle eye of our most talented guide.
Over the weeks time we saw the elusive leopards and even some Rhino, along with cheetah, the big 5 and the ugly 5.
Our days were filled with close up experiences with wild animals, picnics in the middle of the African plains and day after day of the gorgeous scenery that Tanzania has to offer.
We would highly recommend Meru Slopes for your dream safari and definitely ask for Jacob for an extra special experience.

A team of passionate professionals who turn a safari into a once in-a lifetime experience
We spent five truly unforgettable days with Meru Slopes Tours & Safaris, and we can confidently say it surpassed everything we imagined a safari in Africa could be.
From the very first interaction, Shedrack demonstrated a rare level of professionalism. Always responsive, detail-oriented, and fully available before, during, and even after the trip, he gave us complete confidence throughout the entire planning process. The organization was flawless: airport pickup in Arusha, seamless logistics between parks, strategic positioning each day, and an itinerary perfectly aligned with the migration season.
But what truly elevated this experience was our guide, Jacob.
His knowledge of wildlife is exceptional. His ability to detect subtle movements across the savannah, interpret animal behavior, and position us at the right place at the right time resulted in moments we will never forget. In Tarangire, Ndutu, and the Ngorongoro Crater, we witnessed intense and authentic wildlife scenes, big cats in action, raw predator-prey dynamics, nature unfolding exactly as it should.
Nothing felt rushed. Every sighting was approached with patience, strategy, and respect.
It was also clear how highly respected Jacob is among the other guides. There is a natural, quiet leadership about him that becomes evident through his actions over the course of the safari.
The vehicles were impeccable: clean, safe, and fully prepared for long game drives. Every operational detail reflects professionalism and care.
Our accommodations were equally outstanding:
Under The Shade Safari Lodge in Arusha, Farm of Dreams Lodge, and the mobile camps Olmorijo Camp and Safari Haven Migration Camp, strategically positioned to place us right in the heart of the action in Ndutu. A special mention to the chef at Safari Haven — easily the best food of our entire trip.
If you are looking for a serious, experienced company committed to delivering an authentic, high-level safari experience, Meru Slopes is the right choice.
This was not just a trip. It was a transformative experience that will stay with us for the rest of our lives, made possible by the genuine dedication of every person involved.
