Everything was so well planned our game drives where comfortable and educating we where given lots of information about the animals.

Meru Slopes exceeded our expectations of a perfect safari
5/5

From our first contact with Meru Slopes to when we said our farewell at the airport, we had excellent service. Jerome helped us decide which safari would suit us best and answered all our queries. He always responded promptly and when our airline altered our flight by more than 24 hours, he adjusted our safari to suit. The day before we started our safari, he visited us at the hotel and enquired if we had any allergies as the company would be ordering picnics for our safari days. What really surprised us, is that Jerome also came to see us the day after our safari ended to ask how it was, were we happy etc.
Well, we were more than happy. Our adventure with our wonderful guide, Douglas was perfect. Douglas has a wealth of knowledge about the wildlife, bird life and plant life and he happily shares it. Douglas is just amazing at spotting the animals and then maneuvering the jeep so we had an excellent view. He is a skillful and safe driver. He was also an excellent companion! We can highly recommend this company and our guide Douglas.

Amazing 11 day mid range Serengeti Great Migration-Kilimanjaro
5/5

We did the 8 day mid range serengeti great migration as a private safari for our group of 5. We added : an extra day of rest on arrival, 1 extra day in western serengeti and 1 extra day hiking on Mt Kilimanjaro for a total of 11 days. Meru Slopes added the extra days at reasonable charge and no extra inconvenience to us.
The trip was amazing. The great migration was a main priority, and our guide Santaely put us in the middle of the migration. Amazing. We saw the big 5. The wildlife viewing exceeded our expectations. Everything and more on our list. Accommodations and service and food were excellent, with a hot shower and a cold beer every evening. The cleanliness of the restrooms/ toilets throughout the trip surpassed all the ladies' hopes for their trip to the Serengeti wilderness. Our guide Suma, for the Kilimanjaro day hike was great, with his open conversation on life and Tanzania. He'd been to the summit +300 times. Transport to/from airport was great. No one in our group got sick. Mosquito nets were provided for our memory foam matress beds, but I only saw 2 mosquitos the whole trip.
The payment method of 30% bank draft deposit to hold reservation, the balance paid by credit card just before safari departure went without a flaw just as described by our Meru Slopes agent, Shadrack. The whole trip was excellent. We went at the end of low season and we're glad for the much reduced safari jeep numbers.
Incredible trip!

Don’t miss out! Meru Slopes Tours & Safaris are simply the BEST!
5/5

This was an absolutely amazing trip! We have dreamed of seeing the Great Migration for so long, and Meru Slopes Tours & Safaris organized a trip for our group of 5 (including my 16-yr old son) that exceeded our expectations! Shadrack did an excellent job by email helping us customize our safari to meet our needs and desires. The payment worked out just as they described. From airport pickup to daily tours to luxurious lodgings and friendly staff to our stellar safari guide (Santaely) to exquisite food and clean bathrooms everywhere - all was so well organized. Santaely took such good care of us and was very passionate about his job of guiding us to see the most animals (up so close to the jeep!) and, yes, the Big 5 and the Great Migration, which was incredible to see in real life! Santaely was a wealth of knowledge, and we felt that he truly cared about us, our safari, the animals, the ecology, and the Tanzanian culture. He worked well with the other guides in the Serengeti to help find the animals! This safari could not have been more perfect. We felt so welcomed by everyone. We ended with a fairly easy day hike with our driver, Joseph, and Suma (who had climbed Kilimanjaro over 300 times - incredible knowledge of the mountain, flora and fauna).
We left Tanzania with our hearts full, telling all our friends and family to take the time to do this unforgettable trip. Thank you, Meru Slopes, for all that you do!

A Tazannian owned professional and personable operator
5/5

We spent a 9-day, 7-night private safari with Meru Slopes and had a fantastic experience. We initially coordinated our booking through Leonard, who was incredible. While we already had a rough outline of our itinerary and preferred accommodations, Leonard advised and consulted with us to narrow down the final selection of lodges and routes. He was professional, highly responsive to our questions, and never pushy. He even met us at the start of our tour to introduce us to our driver/guide, Max, and caught up with us at the end of the trip to collect our feedback.

Our guide, Max, was incredibly pleasant, knowledgeable, and a safe driver. He worked with us every day to plan our schedule, knowing exactly how to navigate the circuits to maximize our wildlife viewings. Thanks to him, we saw an abundance of animals—including the Big Five and the Great Migration—often getting up close and personal with lions and cheetahs. By the end of the trip, Max felt like an extended member of our family.

There are a lot of operators out there, and it can be hard to know who to trust from afar online. We are so glad we chose Meru Slopes. They are professional, personable, competitively priced, and truly willing to tailor the trip exactly how you want it. I highly recommend them!

Perfect experience
5/5

We chose Meru Slopes for our safari in Tanzania, following a recommendation from a friend who had a great experience with them. It was a perfect safari, organized down to the last detail. The company was very friendly and helpful, providing guidance and support from Italy regarding every request and inquiry. The safari itself was flawless; our driver was very accommodating and friendly, adapting the itinerary to our needs. The hotels selected by the company were perfect and well-located. Highly recommended—we hadn't expected such a perfect welcome and level of organization.

Our driver Mohamed was excellent. We felt well cared for and we had a fantastic time! Kelvin who made the tour arrangements was right on point with the lodging and activities. I’ve traveled to many places but this one was special. Thank you for this unforgettable experience!

Seamless from start to finish, an amazing guide, and a truly unforgettable safari!
5/5

We’ve just returned from an 8-day safari with Meru Slopes, and it was everything we’d hoped for. Almachius made booking easy and was happy to build a custom trip around us, taking in Tarangire, Lake Manyara, the Ngorongoro Crater and the Serengeti. From pickup everything ran smoothly.

Our guide and driver, Nuru, made the week! The kind of person you’re genuinely glad to share a car with for seven days. He knows the region inside out, from trees and birds to wildlife, and went above and beyond at every turn: a superb driver with a sharp eye for spotting, who kept the car spotless and tidy each day. He clearly works with photographers a lot too, and we hugely appreciated how he’d find us the best position, light and background for the animals; and being so well connected with the other guides, he always knew exactly where they’d be.

The lodges were all excellent, but the Signature Luxury Tents in the Serengeti were our favourite, waking up to lions and zebra calling nearby was unforgettable. Thank you to Meru Slopes, Almachius and the team, and a massive special thanks to Nuru, who we feel very lucky to have had as our guide.

5/5

We did 4 days mid range luxury Safari for our honeymoon and had a wonderful time during our safari trip. Robert our guide is absolutely the best and you can tell how experienced he truly is! It wouldn’t be the same without him! Thanks again. Will definitely come back and share with friends and family.

We saw the big five !!
