Incroyable
5/5

We had an excellent safari. We were able to visit the Serengeti (central and northern parts), which allowed us to witness the migration. The Ngorongoro Crater is also magnificent.
A big thank you to Jerome for the organization and support during the months leading up to the safari – he was always available whenever I had questions.
A big thank you as well to Stanley, our driver, who taught us so much about the savannah ecosystem and made this experience so enjoyable.
I highly recommend Meruslopes for organizing your safari.

Completely amazing from start to end !
5/5

I had the most amazing experience with Meru Slopes during my Mount Meru climb and safari in Tarangire. From start to finish, the team was absolutely incredible, with flawless organization that made me feel safe at every moment. Everything during the ascent was perfectly calculated and I’ve never felt so well taken care of.

A special mention goes to our guide Kennedy, who is a true professional in every sense of the word. He has climbed Mount Meru and Kilimanjaro hundreds of times, and with his kindness, experience and professionalism, you know you are in the very best hands. He could probably do the route with his eyes closed, and his guidance made the whole adventure not only safe but also unforgettable.

From a logistics point of view, everything was made easy: transfers, coordination and communication were seamless. They responded quickly and effectively to every single request.

There are many companies in Tanzania, but after speaking with other travelers who chose different ones, I can confidently say that Meru Slopes is by far the best choice and offers the best value for money.

Exellent, good organized and safe trip
5/5

I spent a long time choosing the right company for my safari, and in the end I decided to go with Meru Slopes. At first, my safari was supposed to be private for two people, but at the last minute my plans changed and I ended up traveling alone.

My main contact throughout the whole process was Almachius, who helped me with absolutely everything. He always replied incredibly fast, understood my situation, and selected the best lodges and camps for me. Even when I confirmed the booking at the very last minute, he offered me excellent alternatives that were just as good as the original ones. Everything was organized perfectly, precisely and on time. I was picked up at the Arusha airport and brought directly to my hotel after landing. The next morning, Almaachius came personally to introduce me to my driver.

A very special thank you goes to my driver, Florian, who accompanied me during my five-day safari through Tanzania’s national parks. He explained absolutely everything, patiently answered all of my questions, and shared so much knowledge about the wildlife and the country itself. He has incredible expertise about all kinds of animals and a very sharp eye for spotting even the most hidden ones. Each day was a surprise for me, as we managed to see animals I never expected to encounter.
On the very first day in Tarangire National Park, we saw so many species—almost everything that can be found there—and every new day brought a new adventure. I always felt completely safe with my driver. The food was excellent, and the overall care and attention were on the highest level. I can strongly recommend this company not only for families, but also for solo travelers, because with them everything feels reliable and secure.
I also want to highlight my driver’s professionalism. Even in unexpected situations, he always reacted 100%, and I never once felt unsafe. I was confident he was doing his job at the very highest standard. Thanks to his keen eye, we managed to see almost all of the Big Five—only the rhino was missing. But we will leave that for my next safari, which I definitely plan to do with my family and, of course, with the same company. Because once you find such an amazing team, there is no need to look for anything else—you already have the best.

Perfect 8-Day Safari – Tarangire, Lake Natron, Serengeti, Ngorongoro & Lake Manyara with Guide Nuru
5/5

We had the most amazing experience during our 8-day safari with Meru Slopes Tours & Safaris. From the very first moment until our return to Arusha, everything was perfectly organized and exceeded our expectations.

Our guide Nuru was simply outstanding – extremely knowledgeable, always friendly, and with a fantastic sense of where to be at the right time. Thanks to him, we were able to see an incredible variety of wildlife, from large elephant herds and lions on the hunt to countless birds and even the more elusive animals. He always made sure we had the best possible viewing spots while avoiding the big crowds.

The itinerary covered a wonderful variety of landscapes: Tarangire with its majestic baobabs and elephants, the dramatic scenery of Lake Natron, the endless plains of the Serengeti, the breathtaking Ngorongoro Crater, and the lush beauty of Lake Manyara. Each park had its own magic, and together they made for an unforgettable journey.

The accommodations and meals were far better than we expected. Every day we enjoyed freshly prepared food, often served as proper picnics in the middle of nature, which made the experience even more special. We never felt rushed, and the team always made sure we were comfortable and well taken care of.

To sum up:
• Excellent organization – smooth and professional from start to finish.
• Amazing guide (Nuru) – passionate, fun, and a true expert.
• Incredible wildlife and landscapes – we saw all of the Big Five and so much more.
• Great food and lodges – fresh meals and cozy places to stay.

We can wholeheartedly recommend Meru Slopes Tours & Safaris to anyone planning a safari in Tanzania. Special thanks to our guide Nuru for making this trip one of the best experiences of our lives – Asante Sana!

Wonderful experience at an affordable price thanks to manager Gift and expert guide Jacob
5/5



We had an amazing 6-day safari across Serengeti and Ngorongoro with Meru Slopes. Traveling as a group of six friends, this was truly a memorable and fun trip.

Special thanks to our tour manager, Gift, who helped us plan everything so smoothly. From patiently answering all our questions (since this was our first safari) to selecting wonderful hotels with excellent food—including Indian chefs who made us feel right at home—everything was handled with great care.

Our guide, Jacob, was outstanding. Extremely knowledgeable about the Serengeti and wildlife, he ensured we managed to spot the Big Five and much more. His warmth, expertise, and easygoing nature made us feel comfortable and enriched the entire safari experience.

Overall, Meru Slopes gave us a great deal, excellent service, and memories we’ll always cherish. Highly recommended to anyone planning a safari in Tanzania!

Incredible Honeymoon experience with Meru Slopes!
5/5

We just got back from an amazing 8-night/9-day honeymoon safari in Tanzania with Meru Slopes, and we honestly can’t recommend them enough. We visited Tarangire, Ngorongoro Crater, Central Serengeti, Northern Serengeti, and Lake Manyara—each spot was so different and brought new exciting game sightings. The scenery, the wildlife, the whole experience was just unreal. Everything was super well organized, and the whole trip went off without a hitch.

Our guide Max was an absolute standout. He’s been guiding for over 10 years, and his deep knowledge of the parks and animals really made the trip. He always seemed to know where to go and what to look for, and we saw so much thanks to him. It was also clear he’s really respected in the guiding community—lots of other guides greeted him by name out in the bush. On top of all that, he was an incredibly safe driver, which we really appreciated on those long stretches and bumpy roads.

Jerome handled all the logistics and planning, and was fantastic from start to finish. He even helped us adjust our itinerary just a couple weeks before the trip to fit in an extra day due to a flight change, which made everything so much smoother. We also did two excursions around Arusha, and had Nickson and Edison as our guides—both were super friendly, knowledgeable, and added so much to the overall experience.

We went with mid-level luxury for our accommodations, staying in a mix of bush camps and lodges, and every place we stayed at was great—super comfortable, amazing food, and beautiful settings. It was the perfect mix of comfort and adventure.

This was a dream honeymoon, and Meru Slopes really made it something we’ll never forget. If you’re thinking about a safari in Tanzania, don’t hesitate—these guys are the real deal.

P.s. - they surprised us with a “Just Married” wheel cover for the trip!
