Super Reliable, Honest, Professional
5 Star Safari!! From start to finish, all aspects of Meru Slopes was excellent. Gift Tembo was very responsive & timely in all our planning & payment communications. He even came to our final hotel in Arusha to hear first hand from us our experience & review. He asked for ways to improve as well. Since we were 100% satisfied, we could not offer any improvements.
Our safari guide & driver, Douglas, is an amazing guide with many years of experience in Tanzanian wildlife & parks. He is an exceptionally safe driver - we always felt comfortable & confident in the Land Cruiser. Every morning we found the truck to be clean & well serviced - so important on those rough, dusty roads of the parks.
We loved hearing his stories about the wildlife & Tanzanian culture - he was able to answer every question, providing a rich & informative experience. We especially loved that he shared his personal stories about his life & family - it made us feel that he trusted us too. He has the most wonderful smile & cheerful attitude. He worked so hard all day with only our interests in mind. We felt his joy as he experienced our's. Also - he is very friendly & we could see the friendship he shared with the other guides. This was important for us as the guides are thus willing to share the location of wildlife in the parks.
Douglas is an incredible guide, so amazing to just watch how he approached the wildlife. He knows the wildlife behavior so well that we watched in awe as he positioned the truck in just the right spot for us to get an up close view. With his years of experience he knows the park habitats so well he could anticipate what we would find. He would gently change the position of the truck to give us ample viewing & photo time.
Though we were not expecting to go to the northern Serengeti, Meru Slopes offered to change our itinerary because the tail end of the Great Migration was still active. The change gave us the opportunity to see the incredible behavior of the zebra & wildebeest as they nervously approached various Mara River shore options. Douglas was patient yet responsive to changing our location as the herds changed their's.
All of our lodging & meals exceeded our expectations. We had fabulous service, comfortable rooms, and healthy tasty meals.
This was the first safari for my husband & it was a special delight for me to see how thrilled he was with the safari. I've been on many safaris and was equally thrilled.

One of best experiences you can have
We have a dream safari experiences with Meru Slopes. Everything as good as one can expect, and truly dream come truth. Jerome manage our booking perfectly and do everything he could to resolve and book everything for us. Fidelis did an incredible tour around Arusha, doing everything we ask for.
Regarding the Safari itself it was one of the best experiences we ever had. Robert, our driver, is probably the best safari driver in Tanzania, he knew exactly where and when to be to see everything that is was there to be seen. And Dula, our cooker, cooked delicious meals every day. Always having hot and delicious food wherever we go.
I couldn't recommended enough, it was just perfect

Unforgettable safari experience of a lifetime!
We booked the 4-day Mara River Crossing safari and it was an experience of a lifetime! Meru Slopes went above and beyond to ensure we had the time of our lives, exceeding all our expectations. From our first contact, we felt we were in good hands. Jerome, our consultant, was informative and responsive, addressing all our queries promptly. Our guide, Mohamed, was fantastic—friendly, attentive, knowledgeable, with a great sense of humor and an impressive ability to spot animals from hundreds of meters away! Thanks to him, we saw nearly every wildlife in the Serengeti, which I believe wouldn’t have been possible without his expertise. The accommodations were also outstanding and comfortable, enhancing our overall experience. We highly recommend Meru Slopes for an unforgettable safari adventure!

Amazing
The Safari organized by Meru Sloppes was truly an unforgettable experience, filled with adventure and discovery. The entire program was meticulously planned, ensuring that every detail contributed to an extraordinary journey.
However, the true highlight was the exceptional performance of our guide, Daniel. His passion, knowledge, and unwavering dedication brought the experience to life in a way that words can't fully capture. Daniel’s ability to engage with the group and provide insightful commentary made the safari both educational and thrilling. He was the heart of the adventure, and quite frankly, he cannot retire! Guides like Daniel are irreplaceable, and his enthusiasm is what made this trip so memorable.

unforgettable wildlife experience
We booked the safari on relatively short notice, but from the very first interaction, Meru Slopes made us feel well taken care of. Our inquiry was handled promptly, and they were very accommodating to our wishes and our (student-friendly) budget. Daniel was an outstanding safari guide! With over 20 years of experience, he shared a wealth of knowledge, offering insightful explanations and fascinating stories throughout the journey. Despite the bumpy roads of the Serengeti and Ngorongoro, we always felt completely safe with him.
Accompanying us was the amazing chef, Johana, who treated us to the most delicious Tanzanian cuisine for three days straight. Every meal was a delight, and we’re already dreaming of getting our hands on those recipes! The itinerary was perfectly organized, making the most of our time – we saw an incredible variety of wildlife and had two unforgettable nights camping under the stars. Even while being surrounded by the wilderness, we always felt secure and well looked after.
The care didn't stop at the end of the safari: Herrmann ensured a smooth and comfortable transfer from Arusha to Kilimanjaro Airport. The entire experience was seamless from start to finish, with great service and personal attention every step of the way. We can wholeheartedly recommend the safari tour with Daniel and Johana – it was truly an experience of a lifetime!

UNFORGETTABLE SAFARI
Meru Slopes and our tour guide Jacob provided us with an unforgettable 2-week safari, from the planning stages to the end of our trip.
Our first interaction with Meru Slopes was with Almachius, who answered all of our questions and put together our private mid-range safari, including cultural experiences based on our requests. I am sure he does not sleep as he was very responsive and replied to all of our emails almost immediately. After comparing all of our quotes from different agencies, we decided to go with Meru Slopes as their communication and pricing were hard to beat. Best of all, they are a local company.
We were lucky to have Jacob as our guide. He was great at spotting wildlife, knowledgeable about the animals, plants, and areas, had great driving skills on the bumpy roads, and had a great sense of humour. Jacob was always communicating via his two-way radio and was able to get us to sightings, and many times, we were the first vehicle there. He was always able to position us in the best spot to view the animals, and because of him, we got to see the big 5!
We were happy with all of our accommodation, especially Anantya Migratiin Camp, in Central Serengeti. Our safari tent was just beautiful, and we have never received such amazing service as we did here. Barikiel, our personal butler, went above and beyond to make our stay one we will never forget, as did all of the amazing staff here.
From the moment we stepped off the plane, to the moment we left Kilimanjaro Airport every detail was taken care of including, pickup and drop off, a local tour around Arusha and a last minute change to organise and extra nights accommodation. If we are ever lucky enough to return, we will definitely be using Meru Slopes, Almachius, and Jacob.

A once in a lifetime experience guided by amazing organisation!
Meru Slopes Tours went all the way for arranging for us an unforgettable lifetime experience of wildlife in Tanzania. We booked a 6-day safari tour (Tarangire, Lake Manyara and Serengeti) and it went beyond our expectations. The service was from arriving in Arusha to leaving all arranged and we didn't had to worry about anything during the whole trip. We stayed at beautiful locations from nice lodges to campsites between lions and other wild animals. Our guide Douglas and Chef Johani made the trip even more entertaining and insightful; their knowledge and cooking skills were the best during our travels.
We would recommend anyone who is considering to book a safari through Meru Slopes to book it with this organisation.

Fantastic
We did an 8 day, 7 night tour. When we arrived at Kilimanjaro airport they were waiting for us to take us to the hotel in Arusha. The hotel and dinner were great. The next morning we were picked up by our guide Douglas, who managed to get us to see all kinds of animals, many more than we expected! He taught us a lot about the animals and the culture in Tanzania. He is also an excellent driver since we traveled many kilometers on dirt roads. He did everything necessary to make sure we had an excellent experience. The first day of the safari we went to Tarangine and we managed to see many animals that day! We stayed at Eileen's Trees Inn. The facilities were excellent as was the dinner. The next morning we arrived at the Serengeti park where the experience was more and more spectacular. We stayed at a Bush Camp in Central Serengeti, where we were excellently looked after by Danieli and his entire team. Sleeping in those tents was tremendously exciting! A few meters away from them a pride of lions had hunted a buffalo and our guide went to the tent to show us the spectacular scene. The next day while we were having breakfast the same pride of lions hunted another buffalo a few meters from the camp! Then we continued on the safari through the Serengeti and in the afternoon we headed north to see the great migration of wildebeest. We stayed in another bush camp this time in the north, where the experience was also incredible. The next morning we went to the Masai Mara river where we were lucky enough to see a group of wildebeest crossing the river. Then we returned to Central Serengeti. The next day we did the safari through the central area and left for Ngorongoro where we stayed at Rhino lodge. Our room had a terrace and at night we saw a herd of buffalo a few meters from us! The next morning we went down to the Nogorongoro crater and almost as we left we saw a leopard eating its prey in a tree
There were also many lions and we even saw a rhinoceros in the distance. That day we returned to Arusha. The experience exceeded all our expectations in every way. We saw all the animals and more than we expected. Our guide Douglas was the best, the food, the attention, the bush camp everything was magical. We hope to repeat this experience with Meru Slope because from the beginning when we booked the tour they always took care of all the details and adapted it according to our requirements. Absolutely recommendable
