I witnessed a professional team and the bright future of Tanzania.
Enthusiastic service, rich experience, and the best guide, Ali!Survival of the fittest. The strong survive. This is true in the animal kingdom, and it is also true for humans.

Incredible and unforgettable experience:)
We didn’t know anything about Meru Slopes and from the start, communicating with Kelvin, was easy and all well explained. We loved how he manage to fit our desires in our safari trip:)
Lobulu, our Guide and driver, was an excellent communicator explaining about both animals and history of Tanzania. Was really close and share his great energy with us. Very professional also and problem solving:)
Bonge, our cooker, was really tender and caring. We loved his food and presentation, always caring if we had enough (and we always were full and happy:)
The hole experience was amazing, with Lobulu we could see a lot of animals in the best view, and we felt lucky but it’s also how he manage to comunicate and rely on his experience.
We would repeat for sure :)
Golden guide, unforgettable safari
Meru Slope made our Tanzania trip unforgettable. Our group of four women spent 13 days—10 days on safari and 3 days in Zanzibar—and every detail was handled with care.
From the first inquiry to the final drop-off, the team was professional, attentive, and flexible. They listened to our travel goals, created an itinerary that met all our wishes, and optimized routes to minimize travel time. As first-time visitors to Tanzania, we had many questions; the team answered each one patiently and knowledgeably, even before we booked. Their sincerity and warmth convinced us we’d made the right choice.
Airport pickups and drop-offs were seamless. The hotel we stayed at were very nice and well facilitated. Meals are well prepared, and we had either hot lunch or lunch box with good quality depending on our daily schedule.
Special thanks to our guide, Nuru—truly a golden guide. He reviewed the itinerary thoroughly before the safari began, which made us feel safe and confident. Nuru combined expert knowledge with a friendly sense of humor that kept the mood light and joyful. His experience and passion for wildlife are remarkable: he had an uncanny ability to spot animals from far away. He always adheres to the principle of "better to be unjust than to let go" that he would stop to confirm sightings with binoculars. He explained animal behavior, anticipated movement patterns, and positioned the vehicle to give us the best close-up views. He treated every question seriously—even a suspicion on animal speicies detail, he would take photos and verify later when he had internet access.
The entire Meru Slope team welcomed us with enthusiasm and a genuine desire to share Tanzania’s beauty. They created a relaxed, immersive experience rooted in the spirit of “hakuna matata.” Highly recommended for anyone seeking an authentic, well-organized safari.

Unforgettable Safari Experience with Mero Slopes Tours
We had the most incredible 7-day safari in Tarangire, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro Crater with Mero Slopes Tours, and it truly exceeded all expectations. It was difficult to choose a tour company on safaribookings.com, but the reviews for this one exceeded all expectations and we were in good hands!
From the very beginning, Jerome Hotti helped us plan and curate the trip perfectly to our needs. He took care of everything, including halal-friendly meals, no alcohol, and fantastic accommodation choices. The communication, trust, and coordination from the company were absolutely top-class.
Every lodge we stayed in was excellent, with friendly and helpful staff. The tented lodges were a real highlight – waking up to elephants, buffalo, zebras, and warthogs just outside our camp was surreal, and hearing lions roaring in the distance at night made the experience unforgettable.
Our guide and driver, Max, made the trip extraordinary. With over 15 years of experience, he knew exactly where to go and had a real eye for spotting wildlife. Thanks to him we were able to see the Big Five (lion, elephant, leopard, buffalo, and even a rhino from a distance – still incredible!), the so-called “Ugly Five,” plus so much more: hippos, giraffes, cheetahs, a serval cat with her kitten, jackals, crocodiles, secretary birds, vultures, wildebeest, zebras, eagles, flamingos, hyenas and more. We even had the thrill of watching lions attempt a hunt! He always made sure we had the best possible view, often arriving at sightings ahead of other groups. It felt like he knew everyone on the road and worked seamlessly with other guides to ensure we didn’t miss a thing.
Beyond his skills, Max is kind, witty, and full of energy, which made the long drives between parks enjoyable and fun. He was always on time, flexible with how long we spent at each sighting, and we always felt safe in his hands. Honestly, we couldn’t have asked for a better guide and would request him again without hesitation.
This trip has given us memories that will last a lifetime, and while we are sad it has ended, we know we’ll be booking again with Mero Slopes Tours when we plan our next adventure.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ – Highly recommended without hesitation!
Amazing!
This was an experience of a lifetime! Highly recommend this experience. The food, the experience it was all worth it! Can’t wait to come back and share this trip with others!

Amazing !
We had the best time 10/10 recommend to anyone looking to book a tour, we did a 3 days camping tour and the guide and the chef were both incredible, we didn’t think we could be eating very well since we were camping but Dula was so good at being creative with his meals and everything was so good! Daniel our guide was also very knowledgeable and answered all our questions we had and he was always in a good mood and helping others

Unforgettable Safari Experience with Samuel and Meru Slopes
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!
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
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!
