Excellent budget option of open-group safari
Great option for solo traveler on a budget to join an open-group safari. Wilfred from Meru Slopes helped with designing my itinerary, communicated well, and coordinated pick-up and drop-offs efficiently. The safari guide Stanley did an excellent job with finding the best spots for wildlife viewing and was very knowledgeable! Camping was a great and adventurous experience as well.

Choose Meru Slopes for an unforgettable, amazing experience!
We had the best time going with Meru Slopes Tours & Safaris. We visited Arusha NP, Lake Natron, Northern Serengeti (Wildebeest River Crossing), Central Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater on a private, 8-day mid-range tour (End of Sept./beginning of Oct. 2026).
From the very first request to the very end of the tour, the communication with the team, especially Almachius, was very professional, helpful and kind.
We were picked up at the airport on time and had a briefing about the upcoming trip.
From the first moment on, we felt very comfortable and welcome.
Our guide was Gideon. He is so kind and very knowledgable about the country, animals, and he made a real effort to show us all of them. He made every wish come true, even when we were annoying about moving a few meters for a better photo. 😅 The car was always super clean and he’s a very safe driver. We felt very safe and welcome all the time.
The lodges that were picked exceeded our expectations. The hospitality of everyone involved knows no bounds.
We recommend Meru Slopes to everyone and want to thank you - especially Almachius and Gideon - for a great experience.

Tarangire and Ngorongoro 2026
Each safari was completely different in terms of animals and scenery. Tarangire had beautiful baobabs and a large number of elephants, giraffes, and antelopes. Personally, I liked the Ngorongoro Crater more; our driver Jackson, who is a Maasai himself, set out with us early in the morning, so we were among the first in the crater, and it was worth it. We had rhinos about 2 meters from the car for around half an hour, lions walked right in front of our car, huge herds of zebras, buffaloes, and antelopes, and the lake had dozens of hippos and flamingos—simply stunning. Driver Jackson was very friendly and told us a lot about the Maasai way of life and the animals we were seeing. Huge thanks. Robert and Annie (mama simba).

The Safari of a Lifetime: An Unforgettable Honeymoon Experience
Our safari was truly the trip of a lifetime, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience for our honeymoon!
Almachius did an incredible job curating the perfect itinerary for us, from exploring Tarangire and the Central and Northern Serengeti to visiting the Ngorongoro Crater. He also arranged three unforgettable nights at the Four Seasons and helped my husband plan a surprise private dinner experience there, making our honeymoon even more special.
Mudy was the most incredible safari guide. From the moment we shared our priorities and the animals we hoped to see, he went above and beyond to make sure we had the opportunity to experience them. We were fortunate enough to see a black rhino in the Serengeti, which was an unforgettable highlight! One day, we were talking about how much we wanted to see another leopard, and Mudy listened carefully for its call and ultimately helped us find one. His knowledge of wildlife and ability to anticipate animal behavior were truly exceptional.
Beyond his expertise, Mudy always made sure we had the best photo opportunities and never rushed our experiences. He encouraged us to stay longer whenever we wanted to take in a special sighting, allowing us to fully appreciate those incredible moments in the wild. He even added a “Just Married” sign to the back of our safari jeep, which was such a thoughtful touch and made us feel extra special as newlyweds.
From the thoughtful planning to the extraordinary wildlife encounters, every detail exceeded our expectations. We made memories that will last a lifetime and would wholeheartedly recommend this experience to anyone planning a safari in Tanzania. If you’re looking for a personalized, seamless, and truly unforgettable safari, look no further!

Excellent, dependable, and accommodating safari tour company
Meru Slopes gave us an amazing and unforgettable safari experience. From initial contact our dealings with expert coordinator, Gift Tempo were wonderful. Gift expertly and kindly answered our multitude of questions and continued to transform our private safari until it was exactly as we had envisioned. Gift Tempo even dealt superbly with a last minute change on the 9th day. Gift was extremely accommodating and continually making sure we had an awesome, memorable safari experience. Jacob was our remarkable tour guide and driver! Jacob drove the Safari jeep, spotted so many different animals, taught us about Tanzania and the wildlife, taught us some Swahili words and phrases, took extremely great care of us, and felt like a wonderful, close friend by the end of our safari! It was because of Jacob that we saw the Mara River crossing twice! We also saw the great migration (herds of wildebeest and zebras, sometimes passing right in front of our jeep.) Jacob showed us a lion kill and a leopard kill. We saw cheetahs, lots of lions, elephants, buffalos, giraffes, hippos, rhinos, and many different antelopes. Jacob also pointed out many rare birds and had a bird book with him to show us their names. We saw many other jeeps broken down, but never a Meru Slopes jeep. We stayed at the hotels, lodges, and tented camps that Meru Slopes recommended and we liked them all. It is so true that the company (Meru Slopes) and the people (Gift Tempo and Jacob) make or break your African Safari experience. We had the BEST (along with the other Meru Slopes employees that supported them.) We are recommending Meru Slopes Tours, Gift Tempo, and Jacob to everyone! Thank you for an amazing “Once-in-a-lifetime” safari experience!

An unforgettable safari with Meru Slopes and our amazing guide Ombeni
We had a wonderful safari with Meru Slopes! 🐾 From the itinerary planning to the accommodation arrangements, everything was thoughtfully organised. The team was professional, responsive, and always happy to help. The pricing was reasonable, and the entire trip ran smoothly from start to finish.
🌟 A special thank you to our guide, Ombeni, who truly made this trip unforgettable. With over 10 years of guiding experience, he was incredibly knowledgeable and had an amazing eye for spotting wildlife. He could spot even tiny animals far in the distance that we would never have noticed ourselves! Whenever we casually mentioned an animal we hoped to see, he remembered and kept an eye out for it.
📸 Ombeni also knew exactly where to position the vehicle, giving us fantastic views and wonderful photo opportunities. One of the biggest highlights was witnessing the wildebeest river crossing just five minutes after arriving that morning. We felt incredibly lucky! 🦓
🌿 His knowledge of the animals, their behaviour, and the local plants was impressive. Whatever we asked, he always had an insightful answer. Each day’s route was thoughtfully planned, and his kind, friendly personality made spending time with him a real pleasure.
We came home with amazing photos and even better memories. Highly recommend Meru Slopes, and especially Ombeni, to anyone planning a safari! ❤️

A Trip of a Lifetime with Meru Slopes
We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Meru Slopes Tours & Safaris.
From the booking process to the end of our trip, everything was very well organized. Gift Tembo, who assisted us with our booking was responsible, responsive, and he took care of all our needs. All the logistics went smoothly, and several of our lodges had prepared special decorations for our honeymoon. These thoughtful touches made our trip even more memorable and personal.
A special thank-you to our driver-guide Rashid, who was excellent throughout the safari. He was highly experienced, knowledgeable, and professional. We worked really well together as a team, so that we were able to make the most of every day. Besides his expertise and understanding of the wildlife, he is also a very kind-hearted person, who's always ready to help anyone in need. Thanks to the wonderful teamwork, we were fortunate enough to witness a wildebeest river crossing, see all of the Big Five, and enjoy so many other incredible wildlife encounters.
Also a thank-you to Edson, who showed us great hospitality when we first arrived in Arusha, and planned for us a nice trip around Chemka and Matertuni Waterfalls.
I was a bit worried before leaving for the trip, cuz all the contact I had was with Gift. It was a relief to see Edson waiting for us at the aiport when we arrive, but it could be better if this information is provided beforehand. Luckily, everything turned out better than our expectations.
This was truly a trip of a lifetime, and Meru Slopes played a big part in making it so special. We would happily recommend them to anyone planning a safari in Tanzania.

Everything you can experience on safari with an experienced ranger
It’s been a month since our honeymoon in the Serengeti, but the memories are still as vivid as ever.
Andrew, who has 26 years of experience as a ranger, spent a whole week exploring the Serengeti with us, showing us incredible things and sharing his extensive knowledge along the way.
Since we booked a private safari, Andrew was both our guide and driver. His driving skills were excellent, but his guiding skills were simply beyond words. He never hesitated to answer any of our questions and always did his best to give us a thoughtful and informative answer. His ability to spot wildlife was absolutely incredible, and we often ended up returning to our lodge later than planned because there were just so many amazing animals to see!
What made the experience even more special was that Andrew never treated us as just clients. He always put our comfort and needs first, and his warm personality and entertaining stories kept us engaged even during long drives.
Andrew genuinely loves both animals and people, and he may well be the most wonderful person I met during my time in Tanzania — or perhaps even during all my travels.
I sometimes wonder if the animals could sense what a special person he is, too! We had the extraordinary experience of a young leopard crawling right underneath our vehicle, and we managed to spot all of the Big Five as well as the Ugly Five.
Our itinerary was quite tight, but Andrew did an amazing job of accommodating our schedule. On our last day, he even suggested changing the itinerary to a better option. Had we stuck to our original plan, we might not have made our flight on time. His judgment and consideration made all the difference.
Our safari was as safe, seamless, and unforgettable as it was because we had Andrew with us.
If you’re considering booking with Meru Slopes, don’t hesitate — just go for it! You’ll be in excellent hands. We couldn’t recommend them more highly!
