What an experience this safari. I highly recommend Meru Slopes
5/5

The communication with Geoffrey went really smooth. He explained everything to me so it absolutely met my expectations. The tour itself was very well organized with lovely food and great people. Unfortunately we missed the rhino.

Perfect organized Safari

We booked 5days, 4 nights safari with meru slopes and made a great experience. Geoffrey helped us organizing and was always available to answer questions. The tour was well planed and we enjoyed it a lot!

Well organised and excellent service with very goog guide and cook
5/5

We were in safe hands with Geoffrey and his staff. Our guide Hillary knew his stuff and gave us an excellent safari experience.
We had a lot of very valuable tips from other users and would like to emphasise the following:
. The guides can be very busy juggling things so it is worthwhile always clarifying with them things like what time and where exactly everyone is meeting up that day, whether you need to pack up your things first thing in the morning, etc
. If you can, take a good set of binoculars- while the guide had one it is not enough when it matters.
. Take toilet paper and mosquito repellant
. While sleeping bags are provided the quality is a lottery - some are thin and on some the zipper doesn't work. We suggest taking a sleeping bag inner, which doesn't take up much space.
. Plenty of water is provided so you do not need to stock up beforehand.
. You can recharge phones and cameras in the vehicle, which we found particularly useful.

Good organization, good guide, fantastic places
5/5

We selected a 4 days camping tour with the vist of Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro. This solution was one of the cheapest, but the quality of the tour was good.
Regarding the organization, they pick-up us at the airport even if we arrived at 1.30 AM, and at the end of the tour they arrange for us the transfer to Moshi.
Our guide was young and friendly and perfect for young group as ours.
During the safari we woke-up early in the morning (5.30-6.00) and saw more animals without the congestion of other cars.

Outstanding 8- day Safari
5/5

We decided to book a safari with Meru Slopes based on the previous ratings and competitive prices. The tour truly exceeded our expectations.
Prior to the safari, Geoffrey was extremely responsive and was eager to answer all our questions. The accommodation included in the price is well located in Arusha.
Ziggy, our driver/guide, and Adel, our cook, made our 8 day safari an unforgettable experience. Our tour included Serengeti Nationalpark, the Ngorongoro Crater, Lake Manyara, Tarangire NP and Arusha NP. Together with four fellow travelers and our guide, we could set the program together ourselves in order to have a partially tailored program fitting our wishes (in our case visiting northern Serengeti in order to see the Mara river crossing of wildebeests).
The accommodation was basic yet the crew made sure we felt like home at all times.

We highly recommend Meru Slopes as it offers great value for money. We always slept in public campgrounds in the NP and had extended game drives tailored to our advantage.

Thank you Meru Slopes for the great experience!

Excellent mountain trekking and Safari
5/5

Both, the mount meru trekking and the four day safari were excellent. Great guides, good organization, catch up from the airport, hotel stay before, between the two different tours and afterwards. Absolutely to recommend.

Fantastic experience and we saw the big 5!
5/5

We knew we wanted to go on a 4 day safari and see Lake Manyara, the Serengeti and Ngorgoru crater but there are so many tour companies to choose from! Meru slopes had been recommended to us by a friend. Geoffrey replied to my enquiry within a couple of hours and after getting a few quotes from other companies, decided to go with him. He would always reply very quickly to answer our questions. Meru slopes was the cheapest quote we got but they also offer accommodation in a pleasant hotel in Arusha the day before and after the safari, with breakfast included. The tour itself was great. There was a change of driver on the first day, which meant an earlier start but breakfast was provided and we saw lots of wildlife around Lake Manyara. On the second day we joined a different group and Simon was our guide for the remaining three days. The tents were basic but what we expected and sleeping in the Serengeti and on the side of the crater was a unique experience! The days were long but we got to see the big 5 as well as plenty of other animals. Simon was knowledgable and had good communication with other guides so we knew where to go to spot the best game. Baracko came with us and was the cook and his food was delicious! We really enjoyed the trip and highly recommend it to others.

It was simply awesome , fun filled , adventurous.
5/5

To start with David our driver cum Guide was really good. He had a lot of knowledge about each and every thing and very good conmunication skills. All the lodges where we stayed throughout the trip were very good. Good food , great weather and beautiful locations.
Only point of improvement is the Arusha inn where we stayed on day 1 and last night needs a lot of improvement.

Charming People and Experience
5/5

We enjoyed a lovely 4 days safari around Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Lake Manyara.
The man in charge, Mr Nassari, was very helpful, taking care of everything we needed: the transfer from the airport, the accomodation, all the payments, and so.
The good skill driver, Hilary, drove carefully and was very kind and funny.
And the cooker, Geoffrey, took care of us with very tasty confort food. It would be a sin not to eat everything in the plates! That's why they called me "hyena".
Both of them were also very helpful as guides, because they know evertything we need and ask about the parks, the animals, the culture...
Unforgettable experience.
