Meru Slopes provides an unforgettable safari experience
5/5

Meru Slopes made our safari experience unforgettable. It was easy to communicate with Gift Tembo to plan out our trip and he was immensely helpful. We opted for a 5-day 4 night mid-tier option and honestly feel like we had the luxury experience. The lodging options were a dream and served as clean, comfy, and gorgeous places to rest after a long safari day. Our guide, Bryson, was fabulous, pointing out all sorts of animals and answering our constant questions about things we were seeing. He knew all the spots and would take us on detours if he heard of an exciting spotting nearby. We saw over 30 different species of animals on our trip, including the Big 5, giraffes, a cheetah with cubs and even a lion chase. If you’re looking for a tour company I definitely recommend.

We had a great experience with Meru Slopes! Our coordinator, Gift, did an excellent job making sure we were prepared for the experience and arranging accommodations. Our experience started with a day tour around Arusha with Victor. He picked us up at our hotel and drove us to an art gallery, a glass recycling center that made beautiful crafts from recycled beads, and then arranged a tour of the central market where we were able to purchase spices. He brought us to a restaurant for lunch and then dropped us off at the first hotel Meru arranged.

The next day, Bryson, our safari guide picked us up to begin our safari. Bryson was truly the best. He was friendly, very knowledgeable about the park, and worked hard to make sure we saw the Big 5 and had a great experience all around. I give him the highest possible recommendation and could not imagine a better guide. Meru provided tasty lunches every day and made sure we had plenty of water (and beer) during our trip. The lodges we stayed at were excellent, and Meru even upgraded our stay in the Serengeti to one of their luxury tented lodges. Everything was incredible and I would definitely recommend anyone visiting the Serengeti book their tour with Meru Slopes.

Meru is amazing and provided a once in a lifetime experience.
5/5

Meru Slopes provided a once in a lifetime experience seeing the wonders of Tanzania. Our organizer Gift Tempo, day guide Victor, and our AMAZING safari guide Bryson created a special experience we will remember forever. We encountered every animal we had hoped to see, stayed in amazing accommodations, and were treated wonderfully by the staff. If you book safari, please choose Meru.

Our Safari with meru slopes was From beginning to the end super good. Leonard makwavi planned the Tour very quick to our personal requests. Our competent Guide Douglas did an amazing Job. He is a very good driver and found the best Spots so that we could watch the animals very close. We saw more different animals than we could imagine, even three leopards and the crossing of the wildbeasts at Mara River. Douglas gave us very interesting Information about Wildlife and life in africa. He made our Trip very special. Thank you so much

Almost great, Shadrack and Abraham as a guarantee for the success
4/5

We used a comparison website to book a safari that included Tarangire, the Serengeti (including the Great Migration), the Ngorongoro Crater, and Lake Manyara. This led us to Meru Slopes. We communicated with Shadrack via WhatsApp. He made a very good and professional impression, which is why we booked the 6-day safari with him for $1,250 per person. A 15% deposit was required. We also really liked the option to stay at the Arusha Tourist Inn—arranged directly by the agency—both the night before and after the safari. A shuttle for pickup and drop-off was also included, but we didn’t use it. Upon arrival, there was a briefing in the evening, and after we returned, there was a debriefing to discuss the positive and negative aspects. We really enjoyed all of that. Shadrack did an absolutely outstanding job.

There were three of us, and we were crammed into a truly dilapidated Jeep along with three other tourists. Even before we set off, the four tires on the vehicle (as well as the two spare tires) had so little tread left that it was no surprise we had to stop a total of six times to change tires. The speedometer, fuel gauge, and odometer were also broken. The windshield had several cracks and chips, the armrests couldn’t be adjusted, and most of the windows either wouldn’t open or wouldn’t close properly. However, we also lost over an hour because the office failed to send the paperwork to the Lake Manyara National Park rangers in time. So we stood there while everyone else was able to pass through without any problems.

The cook on the safari usually prepared very delicious meals, but he never stuck to the agreed-upon times. That cost us time (sometimes more, sometimes less) and added up to well over eight hours. He also never once made arrangements for our guide to eat with us, which is why we had to go get extra cutlery and dishes every time. Most of the dishes were cold, and despite being told that there was a vegetarian in our group, he didn’t accommodate her needs. Overall, though, it was great that we were served meals prepared for the whole group each time, whereas many other tour operators only provided pre-packaged lunch boxes.
Our guide was Abraham. He was always very calm and level-headed, had detailed answers to most questions, explained things thoroughly on his own initiative, and drove the vehicle well at all times. He handled the constant tire changes quickly and did an excellent job in every other respect as well. He was the reason the safari as a whole turned out to be such a successful experience.

The Arusha Tourist Inn hostel is also definitely worth recommending. The staff were always very friendly and accommodating. The rooms were spacious, clean, and well-equipped. The only downside is that the walls can be a bit thin. Hot shower water takes a few minutes to come on.

Conclusion: Overall, we really enjoyed our experience with Meru Slopes. The key factors in its success were, above all, Shadrack as the organizer and Abraham as the guide. With a different vehicle and a different cook, the sometimes extremely negative aspects of our experience could be immediately addressed, making Meru Slopes a top choice for safaris.
