Best of the best!!
5/5

Our honeymoon was organized by Meru Slopes, and we had worked directly with Leonard. We had an all inclusive tour with the most comfortable luxury accommodations, fantastic food and most of all with probably one of the most experienced guides in Tanzania - Jacobo.
We spent out first days in a lovely hotel with a very comprehensive town tour in Arusha. Then Jacobo took us on the 6 days tour around Tanzanian Safaris, we visited Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater, we are happy to say that it was flawless, we managed to see everything on our bucket list, and even after discussing with other travelers we realized we have seen way more than most of other groups that visit the park! Completely unforgettable full of positive emotions and definitely we can brag that National Geographic didn't show as much as we have seen with Jacobo!! 5 out of 5 for Big 5 and Ugly 5, and we have seen each of those animals more than once up close, as close as you can possibly get based on the park's regulations!!! Thank you so much for everything and we will definitely spread the word who you must choose if you visit Tanzania 🇹🇿

Ok
4/5

We chose Meru Slopes for our 6-day budget safari after reading many excellent reviews, so we expected a well-organised and smooth experience. Overall, the safari itself was good, but our experience with the person who sold us the tour, Almanchius, was quite disappointing.

Our guide was good. He knew exactly where to take us to find the animals and we had a great time with him. He was not very talkative and gave only brief explanations, so at times he felt more like a driver than a guide, but overall we were happy with him.

Our chef was excellent. He was professional, always on time and prepared delicious food throughout the safari.

Unfortunately, communication with Almanchius before and during the trip was the biggest problem.

Even before booking, communication was not very professional. We asked for a call to get more information, but the call lasted less than five minutes and he was clearly distracted, talking while getting in and out of a car. We still decided to book because of the many positive reviews.

After paying our deposit, things became even more concerning. Almanchius stopped replying to our messages and emails, and at one point we genuinely thought we might have been scammed. Eventually, he apologised and gave us different explanations for the lack of communication.

There were also several things that should have been communicated before the safari. For example, we were never told that we would have a chef travelling with us or that we would be expected to tip him. We only found this out once the safari had started.

Before the trip, I also asked Almanchius if it would be possible to arrange a small cake or candle for my husband’s birthday. He told me it would not be a problem, so I assumed this had been arranged. However, on the day, neither the guide nor the chef knew anything about it. I contacted Almanchius again, and once again received an apology and an explanation for why it had not been arranged.

We had a similar problem with our airport transfer after the safari. We had to send several messages and reminders to get this organised. Again, we received apologies and different explanations for the delays.

To be clear, we enjoyed the safari itself and were happy with our guide and chef. The problem was the organisation and communication from the person who sold us the tour. When you are travelling internationally and have already paid for a safari, you need to be able to trust that your questions will be answered and that arrangements will actually be followed through.

Meru Slopes has good safari staff on the ground, but based on our experience, the communication and organisation from Almanchius need significant improvement.

Best safari experience for seeing animals
5/5

One of the best safari experience. We did a safari at privately game reserve in South Africa before but Tanzania national parks blew us away with the different scenery and animal diversity. We were very lucky to see all the big five animals, over 30 species of mammals and birds, the migration as well as river crossing and lions & leopard feedings. I booked the trip with Gift Tembo and he was a pleasure to communicate with from beginning to end; all questions are answered clearly and promptly. Everything was arranged flawlessly. Our game/guide, Patrick, was very knowledgeable, patient, polite and a great driver. Our cook, Dula, prepared all the delicious meals. We were also lucky to have a great group of people sharing the trip together. Great memory and experience; highly recommend.

We had an unforgettable safari experience with Meru Slopes Tours!
A huge thank you to Leonard for perfectly organising our adventure, to Robert, our driver-guide, for his kindness, professionalism and knowledge, and to Gady, our chef, for preparing delicious meals throughout our journey.
Thanks to them, we discovered the wonders of Tanzania in the best possible conditions. The whole team took great care of us from beginning to end, making this experience even more special.
We highly recommend Meru Slopes Tours to anyone looking for an unforgettable safari in Tanzania!
Asante sana to the whole team, and hopefully see you again for another adventure!

Fantastic experience with so many amazing animal sightings!
