Unforgettable Safari Experience with Samuel and Meru Slopes
5/5

We had the most amazing safari experience with Meru Slopes, and we couldn’t recommend them more! From the moment we were welcomed at the hotel, everything was perfectly organized. The team ensured we were well taken care of, and everything went smoothly from start to finish.
A special mention goes to our guide, Samuel, who was simply outstanding. He was not only extremely knowledgeable about the wildlife but also attentive to our needs throughout the trip. Samuel made sure we saw the Big 5, and he was always ready to stop and give us time to take photos or check in to see if we were happy with everything. His professionalism and personal touch made the experience even more special.
It was a once-in-a-lifetime adventure, and we’ll remember it forever.

An absolutely magical experience - an adventure we will surely never forget!
5/5

From the moment we were picked up to the very last day, everything was perfectly organized thanks to Jerome.
We were incredibly lucky to see all the animals we had hoped for, even all Big Five. The absolute highlight was the Cheetah climbing on someone else’s car! All this thanks to our guide - and now friend - Samuel, who was simply outstanding — knowledgeable, professional, and very passionate about wildlife. You certainly notice he has 15 years of experience! Also he spoke English, French, and even some German, which made communication very easy.
Even though we camped during the safari, we always felt safe and well taken care of. You could also hear some lions roaring in the night - that‘s simply a different kind of experience, we would never want to miss out of. Also Gabriel, our cook, amazed us with delicious meals every single day.
For the price, this safari far exceeded our expectations. That’s why we would absolutely recommend Meru Slopes to anyone looking for an authentic, safe, and unforgettable safari in Tansania.
Thank you Samuel, Gabriel, and Jerome – we’ll never forget this adventure!

Incredible Experience, 100% Recommend
5/5

We did this safari as a group of 5 friends and had the most incredible experience! Words cannot describe how amazed and thankful we were, especially for our guide Patrick - he was incredible!

Patrick was extremely kind and friendly, he ensured we were always comfortable and happy and also was so so patient whilst we battered him with questions! His knowledge is astounding, he answered everything we threw at him and was very informative and insightful. He made our trip!!

We were lucky enough to see almost every animal you could think of, and most of them within the first two days! We never could have imagined how insanely amazing this trip could be - even the camping where you could hear the wildlife around you was an experience. Amenities at the campsites were very basic, but to be expected. We also stayed at a lodge which was so lovely, and the rooms were more than adequate. The night before & after the tour we stayed at Arusha tourist inn and the staff were very friendly and welcoming, it made for a stress free experience start to finish!

Shout out to our chef Bonge as well - every meal he made was delicious, we were always full & amazed with what he could come up with, especially whilst camping! He was also so kind and friendly and even made a birthday cake for one of our friends which was very generous!

Meru Slopes was an exceptional company, Gift was very helpful and responsive as well! I would 100% recommend them and personally would book with them again in a heartbeat. Thank you again so much to everyone at Meru Slopes, especially Patrick!

Meru Slopes was such an incredible company to do our African Safari with, they were super easy to communicate with and everything went so smoothly. Our Safari guide Patrick was so friendly and had a wealth of knowledge about the animals. Patrick was so patient with us and was so great at helping us see everything that we hoped for! Our chef Bonge was also amazing and the food on the tour exceeded expectations!
I am so grateful for this experience! Thank you

The perfect safari
5/5

An amazing experience. highly recomend the campsite night stay, very suggestive and immersive. Sleeping in Ngorongoro or Serengeti national park is priceless, and the vibes are awesome. Our guide Patrick was always gentle, kind, and full of intresting insight about the wildlife. You can feel the passion he has for his amazing job. Also, food was excellent

4/5

Awesome experience, our driver went super close to all the animals and totally bossed in front of all the other vehicles
He was a sick driver and that was super fun
He did also crash our vehicle and we needed to be rescued... that's Africa though I guess. Definitely unforgettable.

Brilliant experience!
5/5

We did the 8-day Great Migration Private Safari Tour with Meru Slopes and it was fantastic! The communication with Jerome Hotti was smooth and I love how he presented the itinerary. When I wanted to make changes, he was efficient in modifying the itinerary for it to be in line with what we wanted to do. He welcomed us when we arrived, and he was also present during the end of our trip to ensure we had the best experience.

Our safari guide Daniel Bayo was amazing. He was knowledgeable and very friendly. He knew everyone during our journey and got along well with the other safari guides and staff from the accommodations we stayed in. He’s knowledgeable with the animals and their behaviour. We’re mostly impressed with his knowledge on birds. He’d make sure that we have the right angle to see the animals and capture good photos whilst maintaining a safe distance and respecting the rules especially during the migration.

All the accommodations we stayed in were great and the food was superb! We were amazed with how well-coordinated all the staff are. Everyone was just friendly. Hakuna matata.

We’re overall pleased with our safari trip with Meru Slopes and I am glad we went them especially because it is owned by a Tanzanian from the Meru tribe.

We had a fantastic experience on the safari tour.
5/5

Our guide Frank was great. He way always on time, very reliable. He knew the right spots to spot the animals. He was very patient, as my husband loves to take many pictures and videos. We got to watch cheetahs on a hunt. We saw lions mating. We watched hyenas following prides of lions after a hunt. There are too many animals to list every one.
Frank knew names of every bird.
Frank organized hot lunches every day. The lodging exceeded our expectations every night. Buffet style breakfasts and dinners were excellent every day. Meru -Slopes was very easy to communicate with. They respond very quickly. The entire safari ran very smoothly. Overall a wonderful experience.

Experience of a lifetime!
5/5

We enjoyed immensely our 6-day private mid-range Safari to Tarangire, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro that we booked through Meru Slopes. From start to finish the experience was flawless. Jerome was the sales rep that provided great customer service and answered all my pre-trip questions in a timely manner. Our driver / guide was Frank who went out of our way to make sure we were well taken care of and happy throughout the trip. He had a keen eye to spot wildlife which was most important to us. He was persistent in making sure we saw as much as possible considering it is always unpredictable what you might find on any given day but that was part of the excitement. The Toyota Land cruisers are fun and we enjoyed looking out the open roof area to see what we could spot. We were well fed the entire trip (too much food) especially since with the exception of one day on the go we had hot lunches. We enjoyed all the lodges and the amenities considering some are in the middle of nowhere - they were all clean with excellent buffet breakfasts and dinners. One was particularly upscale and the others were all glamping style, comfortable, private, with electricity and hot water. All-in-all would highly recommend Meru Slopes. Jerome and Frank made the trip memorable and special, a definite bucket-list item. Our guide was knowledgeable and very personable - perhaps, he could have volunteered a bit more information about the history, animal behavior, culture but when we asked he had answers. We preferred anyway to soak in the experience vs. info overload.
