Serious honest and hardworking for a fair price
Communications, food service and accomodations was very satisfying. I hoped we had seen more animals, maybe the driver could have driven to more different places within serengeti. We drove a lot on the same area. At the end I was very comfortable wit meru treks! Thanks

Detail information, kind explanation before travel and truehearted service during travel
I can get a detail information and kind explanation from a managing director before travel and a feeling of satisfaction from the truehearted service of both driver and chef during travel. Also the price is reasonable.

An incredible Safari, a good logistic, very nice guide and cook who fulfil our projects!!!
The overall experience with Meru Moutain treks and safari has been amazing. This is a budget Safari but you definitively get everything that you need. I went for a 4 days, 3 nights safari in Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater. Everything has been working perfectly. The guide was friendly and very knowleadgeable. He drives safetly and took time to show us a lot of things and to listen our wishes which match with the scheduled. We had some amazing game drive in the different parks and we saw a lot of animals and we have been most of the time in a good timing to be some of the first one where the action was. The cook was very friendly and cook for us good meals, with everything needed (vegeteables, meet, starchy food) and more than enough concerning the quantity. It has been a life time trip that i will never forget. I can only recommend to you to go travel with them. Thank you again for everything!

Amazing Safari
I did the 5 days safari (Tarangine, Serengeti, N'gorongoro, Manyara) with 3 other persons ( i joined a group). So five days were very intense (lot of driving) but it worths every km and mn.
I took the tent camp safari. The camp sites were beyond my expectations: Panorama camp site (2 ights), camp site in Serengeti (1 night) and camp site Simba A (1 night). And the last night in Arusha (Raha leo guesthouse) was included in the price aswell.
It was low season so the Park were "empty" so we could enjoy the view and the animals without any disturbance.
Regarding the company, we had the best guid and cook ever: Mickael and Amani. Those two were the reasons why this safari was perfect.
I really recommend this company.

As Photographer and word wise traveler i strongly recommend Meru Treks as a perfect choice.
Everything was beyond my expectations!!! First Day Tarangire with beautiful landscape and close up views of the animals( especially Elephants) Stay at Panorama Camp was fantastic, with superb views of Manyara Lake. Serengeti game drive was more than i expected. We have seen the Big 7! Camping and next day early game drive in Serengeti was amazing!

Excellent! beyond my expectations!!!
When you arrive in Arusha with endless number of Safari companies...you are lost in chaos! I suppose i was very lucky to find Meru Treks. Ibrahim was so informative and honest and after 1/2HR i was convinced to take a 4 Day Safari with another 2 people. If i knew there quality i would take 5 or 6 Days!
Day 1 TARANGIRE NP was fantastic with beautiful landscapes and close up views of animals. Tarangire River provide some fantastic views of Elephants. Staying at night in Panorama Camp was an experience by itself! Cleanness,Service,Views...all perfect!
Day 2 SERENGETI NP a long drive to the Gate but it pays you well after you start a Game Drive through the endless planes. Our driver Omani was super! we spot all Big 7 in the Park! Afternoon Game Drive finished at 7pm at Seronera Campsite. Another lovely meal prepared by Marcus our excellent chef and sleep with the sound of a rain!
Day 3 The night rain clears the atmosphere so when we start our 6:30 am Game Drive is was very fresh and clear.Highlight of the morning was the spotting of a Cheetah. 11 am back to the Campsite for a Branch and then Game drive out of Serengeti at 3pm and then drive to Simba Campsite .
Day 4 6am early drive to Ngorongoro Gate and descend to the Crater for an unforgettable Game Drive at the floor of the word biggest Crater. We started with Lions and finish with Rhinos! In the meanwhile: Elephant,Buffalo, Zebra,hippo,hyena,jackal,ostrich,gazelle etc...After a lovely breakfast by a Hippo Lake we drive back to the Camp for Lunch. An Elephant pay us a visit just before we left, what a perfect way to end our great experience!
Fantastic people and fantastic Safari. Thank you all!!!

This company did an amazing job making sure I made the memories of a lifetime!
Ibrahim, the owner and operator, communicated with me immediately and regularly whenever I had questions or concerns about the trip. I hiked Mt. Kilimanjaro and had no issues making it to the top. This company gives you one night of accommodation and is very welcoming when you first arrive. It can be a bit stressful making such a large deposit, but your experience with Meru Mnt Treks will be worth it.

Adventure of my life time
I was only a Tanzanian in a group of 5, two kenyans and two germans; actualy this was my first time to Lake manyara, serengeti and ngorongoro. the transportation and accommodation was perfectly arranged, we enjoyed a safari as a family and managed to see all the animals i was dreaming to see before. hunting lions was an adventures to me, i wish i would not leave the national parks. thanks Meru mountain treks and safaris ltd, you made a history in my life..
