Amazing Safari tour planner
We recently did a 6 day/ 5 night safari vacation in Tanzania with Meru Slopes Tours & Safaris. Our tour took us through the Serengeti, Lake Natron, Tarangire National Park and the Ngorongoro Crater. The experience was superb! Along the way we stayed at multiple locations including hotels and tented lodges and enjoyed a hot air balloon ride.
We hung out with the Maasai, experienced days and nights in the park nights of course saw the animals in the wild. We saw the big 5, ugly 5 and a multitude of other animals... It was INCREDIBLE. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience.
From the pick up at the airport, to the initial meeting on the first morning with Almachius providing us that briefing of what to expect and general safety tips to the final day when they took us back to the airport it was a success.
Our guide and driver Douglas ensured that we had a safe and enjoyable experience, sharing information about Tanzanian history, culture and the animals along the way. He was very knowledgeable and patient understanding that you can't rush nature.
Almachius was also very responsive when we were planning the trip.
Thanks again to Douglas and Almachius for coordinating a great safari.... Asante Sana!

Unforgettable safari experience
We looked at a few different tour operators but went with Meru Slopes because they are local Tanzanian business, prompt with their responses, put together a safari package tailored exactly to what we wanted, and their prices were reasonable. Almachius was our coordinator and he was great to deal with. We had a monster 9 day itinerary: Arusha, Tarangire, Lake Natron, Serengeti (including a sunrise balloon ride) Ngorongoro Crater, Lake Manyara, Mataruni Waterfall/ Kilimanjaro. Almachius handed us off to our expert guide Santaely (Ely) on day 2 in Arusha. Ely was a terrific driver and guide, answering all our questions about everything from the local geography, facts about the wildlife, plants, birds, Masai people, African/Tanzanian life and culture. Ely took care of every detail for us on the tour, he was super professional and worked with us every day to make sure we were having the best experiences possible. Also he was an excellent discoverer of wildlife in the parks (Mr Eagle Eyes) and we got up close and personal with more wildlife than we ever hoped to see. We never felt rushed, always felt safe and we had a lot of fun. The experience was unforgettable and I have the most amazing photo and video to remember it all. The accommodations were all fine, no complaints. Everything was as advertised in the brochures. We especially enjoyed glamping in the Serengeti park with the nightlife sounds, and also the Lake Natron tent camp with its gorgeous sunset view of the lake and mountains. Food was buffet breakfast and dinner at the lodges, and boxed lunches out in the parks (lunch under acacia on the savannah = wow). We had to end our Safari one day early (no fault of Meru Slopes) and Ely and Amalchius really stepped up their customer service at that point to take care of us and get us on our way and we are very grateful for that. I dream of returning again and if I do I would book again with Ely and the Meru Slopes team.

Meru Slopes brought our dream adventure to life come true!
We started communicating with Jerome in March, and he was always prompt, courteous, and responsive to all our inquiries. About a month before our scheduled trip, we decided to add another person to our group. Meru Slopes was very accommodating and made the necessary revisions to our booking without any issues. Despite several back-and-forth emails, Jerome’s communication remained clear, professional, and reassuring throughout the process.
Our tour guide, Douglas, was kind, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable about wildlife and local culture. He made the entire experience both enjoyable and educational, ensuring we were comfortable and well taken care of every step of the way. Thanks to his sharp eyes and experience, we were lucky enough to see all Big Five—something we’ll never forget!
From the smooth booking process to the personalized attention during the tour, everything exceeded our expectations. The service was excellent, the cost was very reasonable, and the overall experience was truly outstanding.
Meru Slopes turned our dream safari into reality, and we can’t recommend them highly enough to anyone planning a trip to Tanzania!

They organized an excellent safari and provided us with an amazing guide.
Our safari in Tanzania was an amazing experience. Almachius promptly responded to my questions and adapted the mid-range, private safari according to our requests. Our accommodations were well-located, comfortable and each one included a private bathroom. Our guide, Nuru, was knowledgeable and had eagle eyes. We saw more animals than we had even hoped to see. We appreciated the pick up from the airport and tour of Arusha, as well as the drop off the evening before our flight. We felt safe and well-cared for.

Amazing
We booked the six-day private safari. It was great that we could customize the program in advance to our wishes. We had a fantastic experience with guide and driver Robert, who knew how to find all the animals. Chef Rachid cooked delicious meals for us every day. We even had a hot meal at lunch. Everything was arranged for us, even the car was cleaned daily. When our car broke down (out of the driver's control), a different guide (Rachid) was arranged. The accommodations were basic, but that's what we had booked, so it met our expectations. Meru Slopes is a reliable company that offers great value for money.
Very helpful with everything.
This was the most perfect safari tour. Mary slopes prepared everything for us during the whole tour, food, drinks, tents and sleeping bags. We didn’t have to worry about anything more than just enjoying the views. We had the best guide, chef and group. It was definitely worth the money. We had contact with Jerome prior to our tour and he was very friends and answered all of our questions.

A Fantastic Experience
My husband and I took a 10 day safari in Tanzania with Meru Slipes Tours. From the beginning to the end this company was incredible. Almachius helped me to make changes to the itinerary and when we ran into an issue with our travel plans was able to make the required adjustments. Our driver/guide, Douglas was amazing - very personable and friendly and extremely knowledgeable. We saw incredible wildlife and landscapes with him. The accommodations and food were great. This was a bucket list trip for me and it exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend this company if you are planning a trip to Tanzania.

Absolutely amazing — professional, thoughtful, and made our safari an unforgettable experience!
Going on a safari with Meru Slopes was truly one of the best decisions we made. While planning our trip, Almachius from Meru Slopes was incredibly helpful — he immediately understood what we wanted and handled everything with such care and attention to detail.
We were on our honeymoon, and Almachius surprised us with the sweetest honeymoon celebration! It was such a thoughtful touch. Even at the lodges, the staff knew we were honeymooners and made sure we were treated with extra care. Every place we stayed was wonderful.
Our guide, Bariki, made the whole experience unforgettable. During our 4-day safari, we witnessed the breathtaking beauty of Serengeti and Ngorongoro, and those days went by way too fast thanks to him. He’s truly one of the best guides out there, and we felt so lucky to have met him through Meru Slopes.
Through Bariki, we got to see, learn, and feel the wild in such a special way — understanding how animals move, behave, and survive in their natural world. He’s not just a great guide but also a genuinely warm, inspiring person who taught us so much beyond the safari itself.
This trip was an experience of a lifetime — one we’ll always treasure. We realized that the most beautiful journeys become even more special because of the amazing people you meet along the way.
I highly recommend Meru Slopes. Thank you all for making our honeymoon truly unforgettable!

Professional
Meru Slopes is a professional, reliable, and responsible company. Whether it was an airport drop-off at 3 a.m. or arranging a car to pick us up from Moshi to Arusha on short notice, everything was handled promptly. The overall safari experience was great — we saw all the animals we hoped to see. My main contact was Jerome, a young but very decent guy, and I also met the company’s owner, who is a really nice person. All in all, this is a trustworthy company. Highly recommended!
Meru slopes是一家专业，靠谱，负责任的公司。无论是早晨三点钟的送机，还是安排车把我们从moshi接到arusha in a short notice，都非常及时。Safari的整体体验不错，该看的动物都看到了。跟我对接的是Jerome，一个年轻人，但是decent，公司老板我也见过，是一个很nice的人。总之，这家公司值得信赖，推荐推荐。

Amazing experience on Big five Safari
We were on a private 8 day safari, it was an amazing experience.
The communication with Jerome was top notch, he answered very quick, and I had a lot of questions and he always answered them and he was so kind😊
We were in Tarangire, Ngorongoro and Serengeti.
We had Mohammed as our guide and he was great, we saw the Big five at day 3. We also had the luck to witness a hunt, a cheetah that killed a Thomsongasell. We saw a lot of cheetas with cubs, lions with 2 months cubs, leopard with cubs and much more.
Meru slopes did it great, I can highly recommend them for your safari, everything was great from start to the end 💯💯
I also want to thanks Paul, I wanted to buy a safari hat on the way from Arusha to Tarangire and he solved that for me, many thanks Paul!
Best regards Marcus & Johanna from Sweden.
