Leonard from Meru Slopes was an exceptionally attentive, professional, and reliable organizer.
5/5

We went on a full six-day safari with Meru Slopes Tanzania and can recommend the team without reservation. The trip took us through Arusha National Park, Tarangire, the Serengeti, and to the Ngorongoro Crater—a wonderfully curated itinerary filled with many unforgettable moments.

The pre-trip documentation was impressive, and our communication with Leonhard was always warm, prompt, and highly reliable. Our special requests were accommodated without hesitation, and we felt exceptionally well taken care of from our initial inquiry right through to the end of the journey.

It is difficult to pinpoint just one highlight that impressed us most: seeing the "Big Five" up close, witnessing live hunts—including the moment a predator brought down its prey—and encountering the Great Migration, with hundreds of wildebeest and zebras passing by. Every single day offered its own unique highlights, and the entire experience was simply overwhelming in the best possible way.

A very special thank you goes to our driver, Rashid. Over the course of the trip, we became like a little family; Rashid’s warm and attentive nature ensured that we always felt welcome and safe. He is a careful and reliable driver, incredibly helpful and friendly, and he shared his extensive knowledge of the environment, wildlife, and the region with great enthusiasm. His dedication to Meru Slopes and his personal commitment truly enriched our trip.

The catering was another excellent example of the thoughtful organization: lunches while out on safari were always delicious, served with care in insulated containers and accompanied by a tablecloth. Our overnight stay at the crater turned into an intense encounter with nature due to stormy weather—and thanks to the prime location, it was the perfect starting point for entering the Ngorongoro Crater the following morning. We would choose Meru Slopes again in a heartbeat and highly recommend booking through this team. Thank you so much, and wishing the company continued success! 😍

5/5

Excellent consultation and planning with Kelvin; the tour with Max was perfect—it truly couldn’t have been any better.
We went on a highly customized 8-day tour in the north.
Everything was tailored precisely to our needs, featuring fantastic experiences and deeply human, authentic encounters. All of this at an excellent price-performance ratio.

Amazing value, amazing animals, amazing people
5/5

This was the best safari experience I could ever have asked for!

Nuru was our guide, and this man is incredibly knowledgeable. He has the eyes of an eagle, spotting animals long before I could even make out what they were! He was so accommodating to all our needs, made us smile and laugh, and gave us some amazing wildlife encounters while sharing his incredible knowledge throughout the trip.

By day 4, we had already seen everything we hoped for, including leopards, lions and elephants. When Nuru asked if there was anything else I wanted to see, I said a hornbill. The following day, during lunch, he told me to grab my camera and follow him quickly. He had been searching for one ever since and had found it for me! That really sums up Nuru: he doesn’t miss a thing and genuinely goes above and beyond to make everyone happy. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide.

Bonge was a fantastic and accommodating cook who always made sure I had enough delicious vegetarian food to eat.

Wilfred organised everything brilliantly. He helped me plan the trip, gave us recommendations for our onward travel and even managed to source a last-minute SD card for me when I needed one.

A huge thank you to Nuru, Bonge, Wilfred and all the staff for making this such an unforgettable experience. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for an incredible safari!

An Unforgettable Safari with Meru Slopes – The Experience of a Lifetime!
5/5

We had an absolutely incredible experience with Meru Slopes and could not recommend them more highly! Our six-day private safari through Tanzania was a dream come true, filled with unforgettable wildlife encounters, beautiful landscapes, amazing lodges and, above all, exceptional service from the entire Meru Slopes team. It was worth every penny, and we would choose them again and again!

A huge thank you to Gift Tembo, our sales contact and the person responsible for organising our safari. Communication was incredibly easy, and he always replied super quickly. He organised everything exactly as we wished, answered all our questions and made sure every detail was taken care of. We even had the pleasure of meeting him in person before and after the safari. As a particularly lovely surprise, he arranged a special dinner for us at one of the lodges, which made our trip even more memorable.
From the airport pick-up to our final transfer back, everything worked perfectly. We always felt welcome and were treated like friends rather than just customers. This personal touch made a real difference throughout our journey.

Most important: Thank you, Robert!
Our guide, Robert, was simply fantastic! He was always friendly, cheerful, punctual and professional, and we felt completely safe with him throughout the safari. His knowledge of the animals, their behaviour and the different landscapes was impressive. He patiently answered every question we had and taught us so much along the way.
His ability to spot wildlife was extraordinary. He regularly spotted animals we would never have noticed ourselves, even when we thought there was nothing around! He always positioned the vehicle perfectly to give us the best possible views and photo opportunities while maintaining a respectful distance to avoid disturbing the animals.
Robert was also an excellent driver, confidently navigating challenging roads and tracks that we would never have imagined driving ourselves. He always gave us enough time to watch, photograph and appreciate the animals without feeling rushed, while also allowing us time to relax and enjoy the journey. We could not have asked for a better guide!

Our private safari was just for the two of us and Robert, which made the entire experience very personal and flexible. We travelled in a modified 4x4 Toyota Land Cruiser with a pop-up roof, perfectly suited for wildlife viewing and photography.
The vehicle was spacious, comfortable and exceptionally well equipped. We had Wi-Fi, electrical sockets, a fridge stocked with unlimited water and soft drinks, and even beer and wine if desired. The seats were very comfortable, there was plenty of room for both of us and our belongings, and we always felt safe. The vehicle really enhanced our game drives and made even the longer journeys enjoyable.

The accommodation throughout our safari was excellent, with great locations, lovely rooms, delicious food and welcoming staff. We stayed at Under the Shades Safari Lodge in Arusha, Farm of Dreams Lodge in Karatu, Signature Serengeti Luxury Tented Safari Camp in the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Wild Camp inside the conservation area. We also returned to Farm of Dreams on our way back to Arusha.
Our absolute highlight was Signature Serengeti Luxury Tented Safari Camp. It was a dream come true to sit on our terrace and watch zebras grazing right in front of us. The beautiful rooms, excellent food, friendly staff and wildlife surrounding the camp both day and night made this stay truly magical.
The food at all the lodges was consistently very good, with delicious options for different tastes. The staff were always welcoming and attentive, and most of the lodges even had swimming pools where we could relax after dusty but amazing game drives.
The hot lunches provided during our game drives were another great touch. We enjoyed them at lovely picnic sites, with a selection of rice, meat and cooked vegetables. They were tasty, varied and perfect for a day out exploring the parks.
We also appreciated the thoughtful extras, including complimentary SIM cards for our safari. These little details demonstrate how much effort Meru Slopes puts into making the experience as smooth and enjoyable as possible.

Our itinerary took us through Tarangire National Park, Serengeti National Park, the Ngorongoro National Park and Lake Manyara National Park. Each destination had its own character, scenery and wildlife, making every day different and beautiful in its own way.
Of course, wildlife is unpredictable, and no safari company can guarantee specific animal sightings. Nevertheless, we were incredibly lucky and experienced encounters we will remember for the rest of our lives!
Among our highlights were:
- Lion families with tiny cubs eating and playing right beside our vehicle.
- Beautiful leopards resting in trees with their prey.
- Cheetahs walking incredibly close to us.
Elephant families drinking right in front of us.
- Both black and white rhinos.
- Vast herds of wildebeest, zebras and buffalo.
- Huge groups of hippos relaxing together in the water.
- Giraffes surprisingly close to our vehicle and gazelles crossing the tracks all around us.
We were fortunate enough to see all of the Big Five and even the Ugly Five multiple times. Every day brought new surprises, and Robert's incredible spotting skills helped us make the most of every opportunity.

We believe Meru Slopes offers outstanding value for money. The organisation, personal attention, knowledgeable guide, comfortable vehicle, quality accommodation, delicious food and thoughtful extras all contributed to an exceptional experience. Everything felt well organised, without ever losing the personal touch that made the trip so special.
Most importantly, Gift, Robert and the entire Meru Slopes family genuinely cared about making our safari the best possible experience. We always felt looked after, safe and welcome.

Our final verdict: Highly recommended!
This safari was truly an experience of a lifetime. We came home with unforgettable memories, incredible photographs and a much deeper appreciation for Tanzania's wildlife and landscapes.
A heartfelt thank you to Gift, Robert and the entire Meru Slopes team for making our dream safari a reality. You exceeded our expectations in every way!
If you are considering a safari in Tanzania, we wholeheartedly recommend Meru Slopes. You will be in excellent hands. We would choose them again and again and again!
