Once in a lifetime experience
This 3-day safari in Tanzania was an absolutely unique and unforgettable experience. In just three days, we visited Tarangire National Park, the Ngorongoro Crater, and Lake Manyara, and were lucky enough to see all of the Big Five, plus many more animals such as giraffes, zebras, hippos, antelopes, and countless birds – all in the wild.
A special mention goes to our guide Robert. With over 12 years of experience, he has an incredible instinct for spotting wildlife and showed us many animals and moments we would have completely missed otherwise. We were especially lucky to have a private tour for the first two days, which truly elevated the entire experience.
Everything was perfectly organized – hotel pick-up and drop-off were included, making the trip completely stress-free. The camp stay was very pleasant, the food was excellent, and the chef Dula was incredibly kind and took great care of us.
Excellent value for money, very well organized, and an experience we would highly recommend. We would do it again anytime!

Great Safari experience with Meru Slopes
Our 5–6 day safari with Meru Slopes Tours & Safaris was a very nice experience.
The planning was handled by Leonard Mkwavi, who was helpful and flexible in adjusting the trip to fit our needs and budget. Communication was easy, and everything was well arranged.
We visited Tarangire National Park, Serengeti National Park, and Ngorongoro Crater, and all of them were amazing in their own way.
Our hotels and camps were comfortable, and the food was good. Our driver and guide, Max Ayo, was experienced, drove safely, and knew the parks very well. During the first two days we already saw many animals. He shared interesting information and managed the timing well, including park visits and lunches.
From planning to accommodations, food, park visits, and flight arrangements from Zanzibar, everything went smoothly until the end. My boyfriend and I were happy with the overall safari experience.
Thank you to Leonard, Max, and Meru Slopes!
Asante sana!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect Honeymoon Safari with Meru Slopes Tours & Safaris
We had an incredible 9 days / 8 nights private safari with Meru Slopes Tours & Safaris, and the experience exceeded all our expectations.
Our guide, Nuru, was absolutely outstanding. From the very beginning, he respected our preferences and showed deep respect for wildlife. He has extensive knowledge of animals and their behavior, and his ability to find wildlife was truly impressive. You can genuinely feel that he loves animals and enjoys his work, which made every game drive meaningful and exciting.
Nuru was also very considerate and caring throughout the trip. He always made sure we were comfortable, well-fed, and well-rested. We never had to worry about anything — we could simply relax and fully enjoy the safari experience.
In addition to his professionalism, Nuru was warm and friendly, and he happily shared stories about his daily life with us, which made the journey feel very personal and enjoyable.
This safari was our honeymoon, and it turned out to be the happiest and most unforgettable trip we could have imagined. We are deeply grateful to Nuru for taking such wonderful care of us throughout the entire journey.
We highly recommend Meru Slopes Tours & Safaris, and especially Nuru, to anyone planning a safari in Tanzania. If possible, we would give him 10 stars instead of 5.

Unforgettable 7-Day Safari
This 7-day safari exceeded all expectations, blending thrilling game drives with seamless organization. From Arusha through Tarangire, Serengeti, Manyara Lake and Ngorongoro Crater, every day delivered iconic wildlife—elephants tribes, lion family, some action with lioness hunting zebra, and we saw all animal we expected including all big five. The pacing was perfect, balancing full-day explorations with relaxing evenings at quality camps.
Standout Guide: Jacob
Jacobo was exceptional, spotting elusive leopards, cheetahs, rhino others missed thanks to his sharp eyes and deep park knowledge. His enthusiasm and humor kept the group engaged, sharing fascinating facts about animal behaviours. Jacob’s safe driving over bumpy tracks ensured comfort even on long drives. He is definitely the best guide you can have over here.
Mister Buga aka Buga dance turned camp dining and lunch into a highlight, preparing fresh, flavorful local tanzanian meals. Dietary needs were effortlessly handled, and his warm smile made every picnic feel special. His amazing meal elevated the entire experience.
Jerome, the organizer, orchestrated everything flawlessly from airport transfers to timely park entries, allowing pure focus on the adventure. His proactive communication and attention to details made the trip stress-free and personalized.
Highly recommend booking through him for future safaris and I will definitely come back with them!

Wonderful experience
We had a truly wonderful safari experience! the communication with Meru Slopes was excellent, responses were quick, and individual requests, such as an early check-in, were taken into account. We felt well looked after in every way.
The choice of accommodations was excellent, the food abd the lunch on safari was delicious.
A special thank you goes to our guide Max! Calm, patient, and always in a good mood, he gave us this unique experience with his many years of experience. He was able to tell us a lot about the animals and the parks. We had a wonderful time together!
Once again, asante sana Max!
We felt safe and well looked after at all times, saw more animals than we could ever have imagined, and simply had a great time.

An Unforgettable Safari Experience with Max & Meru Slopes!
Our safari with Max was truly the adventure of a lifetime! We traveled with Meru Slopes, and choosing them was honestly one of the best decisions we’ve ever made. But the real magic came from having Max as our guide.
He is not only an incredible guide but also an amazing driver — he always knew exactly where to go, like he had a secret map only he could read. We felt safe, excited, and always in the best spot at the perfect moment.We absolutely loved our dinners together, chatting about life in Tanzania, laughing, and learning so much about the country, the culture, and the wildlife. Max was always caring, patient, and SO funny! We truly felt like we were traveling with a friend, not just a guide. 💛Some of our friends and family were surprised that we decided to travel to Tanzania on our own and book a local operator instead of a travel agency from our home country. And honestly, we didn’t fully know what to expect either. But the entire experience with Meru Slopes was extremely professional from start to finish, and we can wholeheartedly recommend them.
Just make sure you ask for Max — he is simply the best and made our safari absolutely unforgettable!

Going on safari with Meru Slopes felt less like booking a tour and more like joining a top-tier wild
Going on safari with Meru Slopes felt less like booking a tour and more like joining a top-tier wildlife dream team.
Nuru, our guide, has an eyesight that defies biology. While other jeeps drove past bushes thinking they were… well, bushes, Nuru casually pointed out animals that apparently lived in another dimension. Leopards? Lions? Rare birds? He spotted everything — and always positioned the vehicle perfectly so we had the kind of views people usually only get from documentaries. In the evenings he turned into a philosopher-storyteller hybrid, sharing wisdom and tales that made dinner feel like a campfire with an old friend.
Gideon, our chef, is a magician disguised as a cook. The man produced feasts — plural! — in the middle of the wilderness, under conditions that would make most kitchens cry. Every meal was generous, delicious, and different from the one before. And he served everything with a smile big enough to light up the savannah.
And then there was Herman, second guide, driver, and quite possibly the kindest person on Earth. He was endlessly polite, endlessly helpful, and genuinely caring. He gave us an unforgettable tour through Arusha, and when our flight suddenly got rescheduled, he didn’t hesitate for a second — he offered, on his own, to drive us to the airport in the middle of the night. Who does that? Legends do.
Meru Slopes was an experience shaped by people who love what they do — and it shows. If you want wildlife, wonder and the warmest company imaginable, go with them.

Great Camping Safari with excellent guide
We had an amazing time at our 6 days (4 days driving) safari with meru slopes. From the transfer from JRO at night (3 a.m.) until our transfer to Nairobi 6 days later, everything was perfectly organized and we did not have to worry about anything.
Our tour guide/ driver Jacob was really exceptional. He knows the best spots to see interesting animals (we saw all big 5, ugly 5 and quite some action), provides a lot of information, drives safe and still has a smile on his face after 12 hours of driving.
In addition, our cook Dula provided us with tasty meals 3 times a day, that left nothing to be desired.
They really provide great value for money and an exceptional experience. Huge recommendation!
