Superb Guide and Game Drives
We were two friends on a private safari with Meru Slopes Tours. The game drives were superb and we saw 4 of the Big 5.
Beyond the animals, our guide Patrick was the highlight of the trip. He was very professional, anticipated our needs and listened carefully to us. He was responsible, respectful and helpful, with a good sense of humour while remaining very discreet. He could answer every question about the animals we met, including the birds, and he even had books to complete his explanations. If we use Meru Slopes again, it will be for him.
However, the accommodation advice was disappointing. We chose this company after reading its reviews and trusted it as a professional agency, but one of the lodges proposed was below standard. Our request to change it was first declined without any alternative being offered. The payment of the balance was also complicated: we were asked to meet in person and wasted 30mn on a parking lot as none of the payment methods suggested worked. We finally paid online which we could have done from the hotel as for the 1st payment.
To be fair, the operator acknowledged the mistake, apologized, and offered us the last night at Mount Meru Hotel in Arusha, which we gladly accepted. We recommend this company for its guide and its game drives, but advise future clients to check the accommodation carefully before booking.
Absolutely perfect from start to finish.
We did the 6-Day Big 5 Safari to Tarangire Serengeti and Ngorongoro. I really cannot describe how wonderful this safari was. Everything was perfect from the pickup at the airport to the accommodations and best of all was our guide/driver Andrew whose knowledge of the Serengeti was only surpassed by his dynamic personality. This really was the trip of a lifetime and I thank everyone at Meru Slopes for making it so unforgettable. Looking forward to another safari in the future and it will definitely be with Meru Slopes.

Leonard from Meru Slopes was an exceptionally attentive, professional, and reliable organizer.
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! 😍

Excellent consulting and planning
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.
