Elevated Safari Experience at a Mid-Range Price
Our safari experience with Meru Slopes was nothing short of amazing. My husband and I spent seven days in a private jeep exploring multiple parks during the Great Migration.
Our guide, Edwin, was a big part of what made our trip so memorable. He was incredibly professional and personable. We felt extremely safe with him as our driver and as our guide around the wild animals. His English was phenomenal and he was a joy to be around (which is a big perk as you are with your driver for 8+ hours each day).
The accommodations during the length of our stay were a mix of hotels and glamping sites. Each place we stayed at was spectacular. The hotels they put us up in were a tier above what we expected and the glamping sites all had WiFi, electricity, and hot water within our structured tent. The staff at each stay were incredibly helpful and proactive.
Food and drinks (water, soda, beer, and wine) were included as part of this package. Breakfast and dinner were all buffet styles at each accommodation with a picnic-style lunch every day. The food was a mix of local delicacies and western food, all of which was delicious.
Over the course of our tour, we visited three national parks, Tarangire, Serengeti, and Ngorogoro. All of them were filled with beautiful scenery and an abundance of wildlife. Edwin skillfully drove us around each park and it felt as if we left no stone unturned. We saw numerous lions, cheetahs, elephants, hippos, and buffalo in addition to seeing a wildebeest crossing as part of the Great Migration.
When it came to booking this tour, Jerome made it incredibly easy and hassle-free. He was able to answer all of our questions ahead of time and ensured we had all of the proper information leading up to our trip.
Overall, I would recommend this tour to any couple looking for an elevated safari experience at a mid-range price.

Tanzania Safari
My wife and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Meru Slopes! Shoutout to our amazing guide Edwin, who went above and beyond to make our safari so memorable. The landscapes and wildlife were absolutely spectacular across each of the parks we visited. Our liaison Jerome was also extremely responsive and helpful throughout the entire process. Top notch experience all around!

AMAZING SAFARI WITH EXCELLENT GUIDES
We went on a safari in Tanzania in August, and it was truly one of the most unforgettable experiences I’ve ever had! We visited Tarangire, Serengeti (my absolute favorite one!), and Ngorongoro. We were incredibly lucky to spot a wide variety of animals, and every day brought something new and exciting.
ASANTE SANA to all of our guides — Rashid, Lobulu, and Samueli — which were outstanding: friendly, professional, passionate about their work, and always attentive to our needs. They made us feel completely immersed in the experience.
Accomodations, transportations and food were extremely well organized.
Highly recommend!

Very good tour operator
An unforgettable experience very well organized by the tour operator following our needs. The accommodations offered were all excellent, both in terms of location and comfort. The quality of the food was very good. The Italian-speaking guide Godifrey perfectly followed our program and accommodated our requests, making our safari even more unique.

Very kind, professional and helpful
We have a great time with Meru Slopes. Our tour was perfectly organized, and we really enjoyed every single activity they programmed.
All the staff - guides, drivers, organizer - were very kind and ready to answer to all our questions. They prepared a perfect tour for our need.
The total price of the tour was below the average of all the offers we received, but the overall quality of our experience was very high.
We would like to thank especially the tour organizer Shadrack, and the guides Nixon and Laizer. We had a great time with them.

Great value and very experienced
Just finished a 7 day Safari as part of our honeymoon trip and it was quite a trip of a lifetime. We were there to see the great migration. Our guide/driver was very experienced and a very safe driver. You can tell by how he navigated the rough terrain, communicated with other drivers to gauge what was going on around us. He made it a mission to make sure we didn’t miss anything we drove by. He answered all our questions with patience. Meru slopes was also accommodating, with great communication with us. We got a mid range price experience, so the accommodations provided some comforts of home, with elements of luxury. For what we paid, the experience was beyond expectations. This is also a local company their prices are on the lower end as you book direct and support local Tanzanians!

We had such a great time that we would go back again.

Life-changing private safari with Meru Slopes - ask for Lobulu!
My husband and I booked a private safari in August and it was everything we hoped for and more. We visited Tarangire, Serengeti (Central & North), Maasai Village and the Ngorongoro Crater and the whole experience felt effortless.
What set Meru Slopes apart were all the extra little things: thoughtful touches at every stop, smooth transfers, clear, prompt communication, and an itinerary beautifully laid out with no hidden costs. As vegans, we were so impressed!! The food was great everywhere we went and our needs were handled with care. Huge shout-out to Shadrack, our first and last point of contact, who organised everything and checked in to make sure we were happy the entire way through.
And then there’s Lobulu - honestly, the best guide we could’ve imagined!!! So friendly, caring, funny and just a genuine good person. He’s skilled, kind, and deeply knowledgeable. He positioned the vehicle perfectly for photos, even grabbed some photos of us, and drove so smoothly that half the time you wouldn’t know we were 4WD’ing. He kept respectful distances from wildlife yet we still got unbelievably close and had lions, wildebeest, lions, zebras, elephants, hyenas, & giraffes all came up within 1m of the car!! We had incredible sightings of countless animals - we saw all of the Big 5, and witnessed two - yes TWO - wildebeest river crossings during the Great Migration. It was electric and absolutely breathtaking. Between sightings we even picked up some Swahili with him, taught him some Aussie slang and had so many laughs and sing alongs.
Mornings and evenings were a bit chilly in August but days were warm, so bring layers and Meru will handle the rest. This trip gave us new friends, unbelievable memories, and was truly worth every cent.
If you’re on the fence, just book it. Highly recommend Meru Slopes - ask for Lobulu if you can! Asante sana! 🦁

Amazing experience!
Almachius has been very professional in creating a tailor made experience for us: a three days hike to Kilimanjaro and a four days safari through Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro.
Both of them were amazing!
Speaking about the first, we spent two nights in Mandara Hut: Suma, the guide, was very helpful in supporting us during the toughest moments of the hike, and also the other members of the crew were so nice with us.
Max, the guide of the second, allowed us to have a great experience, answering all our questions and driving for hours through the parks: he was incredible in finding all the kind of animals in their wonderful environment!
Thank you for all!

No hassles and very professional!
We did a private 3-day safari with Meru Slopes, visiting Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro Crater, and Tarangire – and it was truly a 5/5 experience.
From the beginning, we were impressed by the excellent reviews this company already had, and we can now confirm they are absolutely deserved. The organization through Shadrack was smooth and professional, and our guide Alan was fantastic – knowledgeable, attentive, and always making sure we had the best possible experience.
Everything was perfectly arranged: we had accommodation before and after the safari as well as a transfer to Moshi, and it all went without a hitch. The lodges during the safari were beautiful and comfortable – honestly, it was almost a pity that we couldn’t spend more time there because they were so lovely.
Overall, we couldn’t have asked for a better trip. We felt well taken care of from start to finish, and the entire safari exceeded our expectations. We will definitely come back with Meru Slopes to experience the Serengeti next time!
