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
Excellent value for money and everything was organised perfectly by Leonard
Every single thing about our safari was perfectly organised by Leonard.
The safari was amazing, our driver Nickson was so knowledgable about all the animals and Bongey our cook produced excellent food and even made special dishes for my vegetarian wife.
The amount of animals we saw surpassed my expectations and that was all down to Nickson our guide. He got us to places to take the perfect photo.
All in all I would definitely recommend Meru Slopes for a safari!
Extremely accommodating, made our experience incredible.
I would highly recommend Meru Slop Tours & Safaris for your Safari tour! Everything from housing to food was well planned out, even when we had time constraints with flights. There was not a single hiccup throughout the entire trip.
I also highly recommend our tour guide John. He was knowledgable and experienced, and we were able to see and understand animals that we wouldn't have captured otherwise without him. He was sweet and patient when it came to our questions as well. He made our experience a lot more personal.
Overall, it was an incredible choice.

Simply Extraordinary
We spent seven incredible days touring four national parks in Tanzania's north - Tarangire, the Serengeti, the Ngorongoro Crater, and Lake Manyara with Meru Slopes Tours and Safaris. There were early starts and some very big days, it was often hot and dusty, and the roads were rough, but we relished every single minute of our safari and cannot recommend it highly enough. If I could have given our experience six stars out of five, I would.
We’ve all watched African wildlife documentaries on TV and 'seen' the animals. But it is hard to describe the emotional punch of actually being there. Of seeing, hearing, and experiencing wild Tanzania. Of coming round a bend in the road and finding a herd of elephants foraging beside you, and to hear how quietly these huge animals move through dense bush. To witness a massive giraffe sway gracefully across the road, step behind a tall acacia and literally disappear. To see vast areas of a lake turned cherry-blossom pink by huge flocks of flamingo. To watch a hyena feeding on a limb stolen from a recent lion kill and to actually hear the crunching of bones as she wolfs down her meal. To gaze at critically endangered Black Rhinos living wild. Or to experience the drama and intense emotion of the Great Migration as a thousand wildebeest pour across the Mara River - accompanied by panicked braying, stampeding of hooves, splashing, and palls of dust - while you sit urging them on. All extraordinary and incredibly moving experiences, and so much 'bigger' than what you see on TV.
It's also hard to describe the scale of things. The immenseness of the magnificent, 'endless' Serengeti; the massive power of a big male lion and the speed with which he can move; the towering height of an adult giraffe; and the sheer number of zebra and wildebeest, circling the Serengeti and Maasai-Mara on their never-ending journey to follow the rains and fresh grass. It is truly astonishing.
Our seven-day safari gave us the time needed to travel through different environments and to have the opportunity to see so many different birds and animals (including some less expected species such as ostriches, a jackal, a (fabulous) Leopard Tortoise, Crowned Cranes, and a group of mongoose). Meru Slopes provided a wonderful service, and we felt very well looked after from start to finish. We traveled in a 'private' (just the two of us and our guide) purpose-built 4WD, and stayed in ‘tented’ safari camps located within the parks (and an occasional town-based lodge). We particularly loved the safari camps. The staff were amazing; the food delicious; and our 'rooms' were immaculate, beautifully presented, and very comfortable with everything we could possibly need. Lunch was usually provided by the previous night's accomodation and was eaten in picnic areas within the parks along with drinks from the well-stocked fridge in our 4WD - fabulous! Thanks to Jerome from Meru Slopes for organising our safari so well and for taking the time to brief us and also meet with us after our tour: we really appreciated it.
Last but definitely not least: - We felt so lucky to see all we did, but realise we were even luckier to have been under the care of our wonderful guide, Ombeni, who made it all possible. His knowledge, skill, and expertise were beyond exceptional, and he worked tirelessly - day in and day out - to make our time in Tanzania simply extraordinary. Asante sana, Ombeni - it was a joy to see the animals with you and we're so grateful for everything you did for us.
