Amazing, helpful, caring and extremely trustworthy. We absolutely enjoyed our safari trip!
Best value for our money. We felt like everything was clear, thoroughly organized and had our best possible experience in mind. This was our honeymoon, and they did absolutely the best they can to ensure we are having a good time. We loved our driver Ombeni, which explained everything in detail and shared a lot of knowledge.
This was my second safari trip, I did one 10 years ago in Kruger park (South Africa) and I feel like Tanzania is 10 times better. We’ve seen all big 5, and our driver was able to spot all animals effortlessly.
I told my wife that it felt like the animals have just been waiting for us.
I recommend including Ngorongoro crater in you itinerary, I’ve never seen anything like it. Truly amazing and humbling.
As for their team, Shadrack made us feel at home right away, and helped us so much when our flight to Zanzibar was delayed by 24 hours. He talked with our hotel, arranged for us taxi to the airport and back with no extra charge, and also gave me a cool birthday gift!
There is no drought in mind - we are coming back to Tanzania as soon as we can, and will choose Meru Slopes again and again and again!

I have been on safari tours in Tanzania three times, and the tour with this agency was the best!
I highly recommend it. I have been on safari tours in Tanzania three times, and the tour with this agency was the best!
In my previous experiences, the other two tours had several issues—especially with punctuality. They were late, and I ended up wasting more than three hours of my time. However, with Meru Slopes Tours, everything was perfect and went very smoothly. They are also very punctual and truly prioritize customer service.
Thank you so much for your excellent service, especially Mr. Tembo Gift (Manager), Mr. Patrick (Guide), and Mr. Buga (Chef). They are all very professional and helpful.
Even though it was a holiday and not related to safari matters, they still actively helped resolve an issue I experienced while staying in the Arusha area.
Don’t waste your time and money on other unverified tour agencies (I say this from personal experience). If you want to ensure a great travel experience, choose this reliable agency.
He was very quick to respond and helpful with coordination!
This safari was the most amazing and unforgettable experience! We went during the off season/rainy season (March) and were not sure what to expect as most people online recommend going during later months and as this was our very first safari and first time in Africa as female travelers. This safari went above and beyond anything I could have hoped for. The guide, Samuel, has been a guide for 16 years and knows these parks like the back of his hand. We saw every animal imaginable including lions, leopards, cheetahs, rhinos, millions of elephants zebras giraffes etc. He made us feel so welcome and truly loved wildlife and nature. We felt extremely safe at all times as we trusted Samuel’s expertise with the terrain and wildlife. His number one priority was making sure our safari experience was the best it could be. The chef, Yohanni, was also so amazing! The foods he cooked ranged from traditional Tanzanian food to pizza fries pancakes etc. He even taught us how to cook ugali. He was so kind and funny, and is now a friend for life! Overall this safari experience was a 100000000/10 and I couldn’t recommend it more enough to future safari goers. The people, the company, the nature, the wildlife made this the best trip I have ever had!
Do their best for your best experience
Very smooth process, great communication. Very kind and helpfull people. They handle problems calmly and on the go, so even if something goes wrong, they are able to fix it and adjust the program to your satisfaction. The tour is magical experience I would recommend it to every one.

An awesome adventure with Meru Slopes! Where dreams come true....
Our dream vacation really began when Victor, our (city) guide to/from the airport, picked us up. He’s an incredibly enthusiastic young man, who was eager to teach us a little Swahili, talk to us about his country, and who did an excellent job navigating us through/around some intense traffic due to the Prime Minister being in town. And when the President was in town at the end of our trip, he again did a masterful job of avoiding delays. What an exceptionally happy and engaging person!
Our guide throughout our safari, Douglas, did an excellent job. It was clear his goal was to make all our dreams for this vacation a reality! He managed to exceed our dreams. His depth of experience was clear from day one. Each time we encountered an animal, he somehow managed to get us positioned front and center. He educated us not just on the animals but on his country and the people. We saw every animal, except the elusive leopard. We even saw both black and white rhinos! We went in late February so we did experience a day of the rainy season, with washed out bridges and flooded roads. Yet, this didn’t deter Douglas at all. We still went out and saw all sorts of animals and beautiful lands. And of course, with the time of year, we were gifted with sightings of all the newborn animals as well.
I highly recommend Meru Slopes! When local business people asked which company we were with they all had great things to say about Meru Slopes. So, if you want to be treated wonderfully, and have an experience of your life, check out Meru Slopes. We did the 8 day- Wildebeest Migration option and it was pretty darned perfect! Well worth the investment!!

Very Happy we went with Meru Slopes!
Meru Slopes Tours
The staff at Meru Slopes was welcoming and gave us a sense of family. Both of our guides were knowledgeable and excellent drivers. Victor, our city guide had to navigate through extreme traffic and unscheduled road closers to help us get to our destinations. He could backout and turn around in complete gridlock. Douglas our Safari Guide was very knowledgeable, an excellent driver and super friendly. He could see things that that would undoubtable be missed, explain all of the details and habits of the animals and found everything and more that we were hoping to see. The Meru safari camp made us feel like family as well. We miss them already.

Unforgettable Safari with Expert Guide Frank – Saw the Full Hunt!
I’m extremely satisfied with the safari organized by Meru Slopes Tours & Safaris. Our guide, Frank, was outstanding. In Ndundu, he expertly led us to witness two lions hunting and feeding on a wildebeest – a truly once-in-a-lifetime experience. We were also lucky to see both the Big 5 and the Ugly 5. The communication, service, and overall reliability were excellent, offering great value for money. This safari was unforgettable, and I highly recommend this tour operator

Catered to the client
Samwel and Bange really made the experience. I was lucky to have been placed with them. Samwel took the time to explain stuff that we were looking at. If it was a bird, a tree, or a little stream, he was knowledgeable and very informative. We got new passengers from another safari company and the new passengers were amazed about how Samwel would stop and actually teach us things. Not something everyone does!
Bange was the chef with us, he was very very kind, and always on time. He was very easy to engage conversation with and he always had a smile on his face. His food always came out top notch. Same with the new passengers, they mentioned that Bange’s food was much much better than what they had from their company previously. My only recommendation would be to bring your own binoculars!
I dealt a lot with Kelvin. Whether it was the hotel pickup, drop off, food, recommendations or anything really he was always super fast to respond, no matter what time of night or day. He made the administration part of this easy.
The hotel was decent, nothing at all to complain about. Seems like a good location close to things and polite staff.

a very good local tour company
I chose this local tour operator after comparing many others. I was quite worried before departure, but my safari organizer Kelvin Bonith and safari guide Ezekiel were absolutely amazing. The hotels they booked were exactly what I wanted—no last-minute changes or unexpected issues at all.
My driver was a pleasant surprise. He’s an excellent driver; even on difficult, muddy roads in the rain, he drove steadily and never got stuck. He’s also very clean and keeps the car tidy every day. He’s incredibly hardworking—he took us out to look for animals as early as 6 a.m. every day, and we only returned to the hotel after 6 p.m. He always tried his best to take us to see whatever animals we wanted to find. He’s such a kind person and shared so much professional knowledge about animals along the way. I really hated to leave him, and I will definitely look for him again on my next trip.
