Meru Slopes is a warm, professional, and well-organized team that makes you feel completely cared fo
5/5

We had such a great time with Meru Slopes Little Safari Company! Everything was super well organized from the start, so we didn’t have to worry about a thing. Our guides were amazing – really professional and somehow always spotted the animals before anyone else. Thanks to them, we got to see everything we were hoping for.

The food was honestly fantastic (way better than we expected on safari!) and we always felt really well looked after. You could tell they’d thought of everything in advance to make the trip smooth and comfortable.

All in all, it was an unforgettable experience and we’d definitely recommend them to anyone planning a safari.

Meru slopes is an extremely reliable safari operator with excellent staff - wonderful experience!
5/5

We had an absolutely marvelous safari experience with Meru Slopes. It was my second time going on safari with Meru (after doing the same the year prior with my partner) and once again, it was amazing! From the beginning, the Meru staff was highly communicative and helpful. The person managing our booking stayed involved from start to finish to make sure we had everything we needed. Our guide, Robert, was extremely professional, experienced, and kind. He made sure we had the best possible time, always being ahead of the crowd and responding quickly to animal sightings, which allowed us to experience all the Big Five and more in just 4 days of safari. The cook was also wonderful, with 3 amazing and varied meals per day, as well as all the water and drinks you could possibly need. The Meru jeeps are in very good condition, with WiFi, comfortable seating, many charging plugs, etc. For the incredibly affordable prices that they offer, Meru gives you a lot - not just on the Safari but also before and after (airport transfer, accommodation in Arusha). They really went above and beyond, going so far as to provide us with a driver for the next morning to pick us up from another hotel that we had booked, take us to the cultural heritage center and then the airport at no extra charge. I truly recommend Meru without any hesitation for an amazing safari experience.

Experienced and kind
5/5


We booked with Meru Slopes only a couple weeks before arriving. We planned and communicated via WhatsApp, which made it very easy and I was able to ask all my questions. I travelled alone with my 3 kids, so it was important to me to know I was taken care of and able to have a one to one contact.
We wanted the budget experience, not just for economic reasons, but also because we wanted to sleep in tents. Sleeping in a tent, hearing the lions roar and being greeted by a zebra in front of your tent was truly magical.
We were so lucky to receive Stanley as our guide. He accompanied us the whole time, alongside our chef Johanni, who prepared fresh food for us 3 times a day! Both of them were so friendly and I can only highly recommend them!
Stanley has the eyes of an eagle and spots animals long before you will. He knows the area so well and I often observed other guides asking for his advice. His experience and calm will help making your safari unforgettable.

Perfect Safari in Tanzania
5/5

We went on a 4 day Safari with friends: Tarangire NP, Serengeti NP and Ngorogoro NP. We were guided by Jacob, who managed to show us the big five, the ugly five … and a lot of other animals. It was perfect. Sleeping accomodations were great: especially Tortilas Camp - giving us the possibility to have a walk with Massai to Mt. Makarut.

Rashid was very experienced.
5/5

Satisfying two powerful high profile NYC woman is not an easy venture…..but Rashid took the wheel and led us through one of the greatest adventures of our lives.

A safari is not only about the magnificence of the animal kingdom but very much a time for deep thought, surprises and the love and kindness of humanity…..Tanzanians, your welcoming spirit touched us in so many ways.

Unforgettable Safari Experience in Tanzania
5/5

I’ve just returned from an incredible journey in Tanzania, and it has truly been a once-in-a-lifetime experience. We went on safari in Ngorongoro, Serengeti, and Tarangire, where we witnessed breathtaking landscapes and countless wild animals that left us in awe.

A very special thanks goes to our guide Rashid, who was simply outstanding: extremely knowledgeable about the parks and the wildlife, always ready to answer every question with patience and detail. With his “eagle eye,” he was able to spot animals from far away and make sure we didn’t miss a single moment. His cheerful personality and positive energy brightened every day and made the whole trip even more enjoyable.

I also want to thank Samueli and Lobulu, who were equally professional, kind, and always available to share stories, explanations, and interesting insights.

These were truly wonderful days, filled with emotions and unique experiences that we will treasure forever. I wholeheartedly recommend this safari to anyone who wants to live an authentic, exciting, and unforgettable adventure in Tanzania.

One in a lifetime experience, perfect orchestration
5/5

As a couple, we made a private 4 day mid range safari tour with one day coffee and waterfall excursion.
First of all, our pre-safari communication with Shadrack, the manager, was smooth and reactive. He sincerely wishes to make sure your experience is one of a lifetime’s. He met us in person before and after our safari tour to brief before and gather our thoughts and recommendations after.
Secondly, all of our guides were knowledgeable, adaptive, funny and helpful. Special thanks to our guide Fred who was a very good driver, excellent guide (both knowledgeable about the type and description of animals, places to look for them and safety concerns related).
Our accommodation was generally good : both with “glamping” in Serengeti (heritage camp) and Ngorongogo (Ngorongoro Wild Camp) and more European style hotel in Arusha (Arusha planet lodge) and nearby Tarangire National Park (Eileen’s trees inn). All of the hotels personnel were very helpful, friendly and kind. Breakfast and dinner in our accommodation was mostly varied and with some vegetarian options (a little less options in Serengeti heritage camp and ngorongoro but understandable because of the distance from the bigger cities). However, even though we shared in advance that we both were vegetarian, on a few occasion our choice was quite limited with rice and a few raw salad. On a brighter side, we had “unlimited” beer and wine as well as coffee (in powder), water and tea available for us in the van.
We celebrated our first lion sighting with a glass of wine which was memorable.
All in all, we wish we had booked one or two days more than we did because we felt it was not that tiring and enjoyed our time. Thank you again for this lifetime experience. We certainly recommend Meru Slopes tours and safaris. You will not be disappointed! Don’t look any further.

Meru Slopes cares about their clients. 5 Stars
5/5

From the moment we first inquired about a safari with Meru Slopes, our representative Almachius was on the ball. I was apprehensive when first making contact as I received an immediate response (i was hoping this was not a bot) but he quickly earned our families trust with his timely response to our questions and his flexibility in arranging a personalized tour based on our requirements. Our experience with Meru Slopes could not have been better. The accommodation that they arranged for us during our safari exceeded expectations and we had the most wonderful and knowledgable guides throughout our trip (shout out to Juma, Kennedy and Nickson). The service and check in's we received from Almachius during our trip made us feel really well taken care of. We will definitely be returning and would not hesitate to book through Meru Slopes again. Thank you for making our safari the most wonderful experience.
