Service minded and trustworthy
Have been on a fantastic shared budget safari with Meru Slopes. Visited Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Lake Manyara. The whole experience was even better than promised. The campsites were much fresher than expected and having your own chef who served good hot food three times a day was very unexpected and appreciated. We also had a lot of nice animal encounters and were well looked after throughout the trip. The fact that transfers from and to the airport and hotels with half board were included the day before and after the safari was also a big plus. Can definitely recommend Meru slopes to those of you looking for a very affordable safari!

Safari Adventure of a lifetime!
My husband and I went on this safari with her two friends. I must say this was a most amazing experience of my life. Our guide Gordie, our chef Rashid along with our tour guide Kennedy for the day trip of Kilimanjaro were all amazing.
We were able to see the majority of the animals that we were told we would see. The Great Migration was a sight to behold. We felt very fortunate that we were able to witness this spectacular event. The Care and attention we received from this tour company was top notch. On the day we were supposed to depart and head back home we were dropped off at the airport. Kennedy did not leave our side and thankfully so because our flight had been canceled and we couldn't leave until the following day. Kennedy refused to leave until we were all settled and then him and Herman took us to our hotel for the night. I cannot say enough and how pleased we were with the care we were given. My husband had had a heart attack on July 18th and they helped in every way they could to make this trip for him doable. Thank you again to them Meru slopes tour company and their guides!

Amazing experience
We had a truly unique and unforgettable experience! During the safari we were lucky enough to see the Big Five along with many other animals in their natural habitat – an absolutely incredible feeling. Spending two nights camping made it even more special, allowing us to fully experience the magic of nature and immerse ourselves in the safari atmosphere. Highly recommended to anyone who wants to live something authentic and extraordinary!

100% trustworthy and reliable
We, a family of 2 parents and 3 adult children, thoroughly enjoyed our mid range 8 days safari tour in Taranguire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Lake Manyara, followed by 1 day spent on the foothills of Klimandjaro in Materuna. We saw all the big 5 more than once, as well as many other animals. We were also lucky enough to witness the amazing nature spectacle of thousands of zebras and wilderbeasts crossing the Mara river. Meru Slopes did a great job at planning (thank you very much Almachius for your professional communication and great responsiveness) and delivering this fantastic tour. Accommodations and food were all at least up to our (high) expectations. Our guide and driver Nuru was 10 on 10 : very knowledgeable and passionate about animals and biology in general, great driver always finding the best spots and angles for best observation opps and pics. And also a great person to spend 8 days with. Big thanks to Nuru from all the family. I sincerely recommend Meru Slopes to anyone planning a safari in Tanzania.

Serengeti and Ngorongoro Budget Safari
We chose to do the budget safari option for the Serengeti and crater and it was the best decision we have made. We had Jerome who set up everything for us and answered all questions we had before the trip which was amazing, such a kind human! We also had Daniel and Dulla as our guide and chef which they were hands down the best ever. We went into this not knowing what to expect much and a little nervous for camping in the middle of no where surrounded by lions but I would most definitely do it this way again as it is such a great experience and truly life changing seeing all the animals in their habitat. They made us feel safe and answered any questions we had. It is true that you hear lions in your campsite overnight which was to say the least a funny experience. We also saw a hippo the next morning as we were leaving early on our gamedrive. We saw every animal we could've dreamed of in the crater and Serengeti. Daniel was amazing with his knowledge about all animals and knew the Serengeti perfectly. It truly was the best trip we could've ever asked for and I will never forget it. Thank you for an amazing time again already trying to plan my next adventure with Meru Slopes!:)

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.
