One in a lifetime experience, perfect orchestration
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
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.

Very professional and very knowledgeable guide and excellent service
We would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to your company for arranging our guide, Andrew, during our trip to Tanzania. Throughout the journey, he was not only thoughtful, warm, and attentive, but also very knowledgeable. Whenever we encountered any issues, he always handled and solved them promptly, which made us feel completely at ease.
What impressed us most was Andrew’s exceptional thoughtfulness and attention to detail. Every day he carefully prepared our lunch boxes, adding fresh vegetables such as salad, cucumbers, and tomatoes, just to meet our personal preferences and special needs. This kind of care made us feel truly valued.
In addition, he always managed to find the best spots to witness the great migration, as well as other wildlife moments. While observing animals, Andrew demonstrated an incredible sensitivity—he could quickly detect their movements and bring us to the perfect angle to appreciate and photograph them. His deep knowledge of the animals—their habits, behavior, and the times and places where they were most likely to appear—left a lasting impression on us.
Thanks to Andrew’s professional guidance, our experience went far beyond our expectations. We were able to witness the magnificent wildebeest migration as well as the wildlife we had always dreamed of seeing, including cheetahs, leopards, and lions, elephants, giraffes and zebras. Because of his great efforts, we were so lucky enough to encounter all the animals we had hoped to see.
We are truly impressed by Andrew’s professionalism, dedication, and thoughtfulness, and we also deeply appreciate the careful arrangements made by Meru Slopes. This journey was not only smooth and enjoyable but also far exceeded our expectations.
Once again, thank you very much! We sincerely hope that one day we can return to Tanzania and meet Andrew again.

Completely amazing from start to end !
I had the most amazing experience with Meru Slopes during my Mount Meru climb and safari in Tarangire. From start to finish, the team was absolutely incredible, with flawless organization that made me feel safe at every moment. Everything during the ascent was perfectly calculated and I’ve never felt so well taken care of.
A special mention goes to our guide Kennedy, who is a true professional in every sense of the word. He has climbed Mount Meru and Kilimanjaro hundreds of times, and with his kindness, experience and professionalism, you know you are in the very best hands. He could probably do the route with his eyes closed, and his guidance made the whole adventure not only safe but also unforgettable.
From a logistics point of view, everything was made easy: transfers, coordination and communication were seamless. They responded quickly and effectively to every single request.
There are many companies in Tanzania, but after speaking with other travelers who chose different ones, I can confidently say that Meru Slopes is by far the best choice and offers the best value for money.

Exellent, good organized and safe trip
I spent a long time choosing the right company for my safari, and in the end I decided to go with Meru Slopes. At first, my safari was supposed to be private for two people, but at the last minute my plans changed and I ended up traveling alone.
My main contact throughout the whole process was Almachius, who helped me with absolutely everything. He always replied incredibly fast, understood my situation, and selected the best lodges and camps for me. Even when I confirmed the booking at the very last minute, he offered me excellent alternatives that were just as good as the original ones. Everything was organized perfectly, precisely and on time. I was picked up at the Arusha airport and brought directly to my hotel after landing. The next morning, Almaachius came personally to introduce me to my driver.
A very special thank you goes to my driver, Florian, who accompanied me during my five-day safari through Tanzania’s national parks. He explained absolutely everything, patiently answered all of my questions, and shared so much knowledge about the wildlife and the country itself. He has incredible expertise about all kinds of animals and a very sharp eye for spotting even the most hidden ones. Each day was a surprise for me, as we managed to see animals I never expected to encounter.
On the very first day in Tarangire National Park, we saw so many species—almost everything that can be found there—and every new day brought a new adventure. I always felt completely safe with my driver. The food was excellent, and the overall care and attention were on the highest level. I can strongly recommend this company not only for families, but also for solo travelers, because with them everything feels reliable and secure.
I also want to highlight my driver’s professionalism. Even in unexpected situations, he always reacted 100%, and I never once felt unsafe. I was confident he was doing his job at the very highest standard. Thanks to his keen eye, we managed to see almost all of the Big Five—only the rhino was missing. But we will leave that for my next safari, which I definitely plan to do with my family and, of course, with the same company. Because once you find such an amazing team, there is no need to look for anything else—you already have the best.

Wonderful experience at an affordable price thanks to manager Gift and expert guide Jacob
We had an amazing 6-day safari across Serengeti and Ngorongoro with Meru Slopes. Traveling as a group of six friends, this was truly a memorable and fun trip.
Special thanks to our tour manager, Gift, who helped us plan everything so smoothly. From patiently answering all our questions (since this was our first safari) to selecting wonderful hotels with excellent food—including Indian chefs who made us feel right at home—everything was handled with great care.
Our guide, Jacob, was outstanding. Extremely knowledgeable about the Serengeti and wildlife, he ensured we managed to spot the Big Five and much more. His warmth, expertise, and easygoing nature made us feel comfortable and enriched the entire safari experience.
Overall, Meru Slopes gave us a great deal, excellent service, and memories we’ll always cherish. Highly recommended to anyone planning a safari in Tanzania!
