Fantastic
We just returned from an eight day safari with Maru slopes. The trip could not have gone better! Leonard did a nice job communicating with us and organizing the trip from afar. Our guide, Douglas, could not have been better in any way. He was outstanding in time and effort, in finding all the animals, in communicating, in driving, in knowledge and in humor. He always set clear expectations and was always punctual. We would recommend Meru Slopes to anyone! If we ever return for another safari, we would insist on Douglass as our guide.

Perfect and the best
An Unforgettable Honeymoon Safari in Tanzania!
What an absolutely fantastic trip and a phenomenal safari tour! As a South Korean, safari trips aren't very common among people around me, so I honestly had a lot of worries and concerns at first. However, from the very moment we started coordinating our itinerary, Meru Slopes proved to be the absolute best and put all my worries to rest.
Jerome handled everything from the initial quote to our entire schedule. He was incredibly professional, polite, and highly responsible. He put together a fantastic program with great lodges at a very reasonable price. Moreover, we had a flight to Zanzibar scheduled after the safari, but there was an unexpected issue with the local airline. Amazingly, Jerome and the team stepped in and resolved the schedule changes for us, even though it wasn't strictly their responsibility! All we had to do was sit back and follow their lead without any worries. Everything was completely stress-free and perfect.
I also want to express a huge thank you to our safari guide, Nuru. He is exceptionally skilled and made us feel so comfortable throughout the entire journey. He didn't just simply point out the animals; he shared fascinating insights about their habits and behaviors. Beyond the wildlife, he also told us so many engaging stories about Tanzanian culture and history. It never felt like he was just "working"—it genuinely felt like he is someone who truly loves his profession, making him the absolute best guide you could ever ask for. Thanks to his expertise, we didn't just spot the Big Five quickly; we got to see them incredibly up close! We were truly lucky to have him. On our last day, we had some extra time before heading to the airport, and he took us to a traditional Maasai market. It wasn't a tourist trap, but a genuine local market, which made it a rare and authentic experience. Thank you for everything, Nuru.
I have absolutely no doubt that Meru Slopes is the best choice for anyone considering a safari. Thank you once again to Jerome, Nuru, and the rest of the Meru Slopes staff. Oh, I almost forgot to mention Edison, who was our guide in Arusha at the very beginning of the trip—thank you, Edison!

Exceptional and Experienced!
Just returned from a 5-day mid-range Safari with my husband for our wedding anniversary and the experience exceeded all expectations!! Everything was absolutely wonderful! Our driver/guide Juma was extremely knowledgeable about the animals, the Sergeneti, Ngorongoro and Tanzania. He took great care of us and we felt in very capable and caring hands at all times. He is a true expert in all things Safari, and we felt very lucky to have had him as our guide! The lodges we stayed in were 5/5, the staff was incredible and the food was great and varied! Meru Slopes (Gift) even went out of their way to make our anniversary extra special with gifts and surprises at the lodges we stayed in. Do not hesitate to book with Meru, they are experts and really care about the clients. They personalized the safari to our exact preferences and accommodated all our requests. Best experience ever and we got to see all the Big 5!!

True professionals – they handled everything, so I just enjoyed myself.
We got up early every day, and it paid off – we saw all the Big Five, and finally tracked down a leopard with our guide's help. The chef's food was fantastic every day. A few practical tips: expect a lot of dust on the roads; Serengeti camps had no hot water for showers, but Ngorongoro Simba camp did have hot water, though it was freezing cold at night – bring a warm down jacket!
A professional, worry-free experience from start to finish!
While there were plenty of tour operators for our 7-day safari in Tanzania, I am so very happy we went with Meru Slopes! I know it takes a lot of trust to choose one of these companies and invest trust (and money!) in them upfront, but you truly cannot do better than Meru Slopes. Shadrack was our organizer, and he provided excellent early support in putting together the perfect package and itinerary for us. His communication was prompt and helpful, and was ultimately the reason we went with Meru Slopes initially. What we found out later was that they are one of the few tour companies that are locally owned in Tanzania, rather than by companies that exist out of the local economy, which made us feel better about having invested in them.
Our tour guide Andrew was, in a word, outstanding. He answered every one of our (very many) questions along the routes, was warm and friendly throughout, and incredibly knowledgeable about all the terrain, ecosystems and wildlife that we experienced. Possibly the best part was his pacing. He didn't rush us along from one sighting to the next, but allowed us to hold at a location when we wanted to, or move on when we were ready. This allowed us to truly have the safari experience we were hoping for, without feeling like we were being pushed along.
The accommodations were better than expected, and very smooth checking in and out, which was helpful given we were in a different location every night. Everything truly felt so well-coordinated and planned, and came off without a hitch. We could not be more happy with our safari experience, and we know it will be a memory that will last the rest of our lives.
THANK YOU MERU SLOPES!!
