The safari was a success. The program was adhered to. We were very satisfied
Wildebeast 8Days Camping Safari: Our guide Daniel did his job to our satisfaction. We saw a lot and his explanations were always detailed. We also had a good cook in Johannes, who prepared good, clean food for us. If you are looking for a good price-performance ratio with beautiful animal sightings, you cannot avoid Meruslopes.

Amazing tour and nice staff. The chef cooked different food every time. Great experience
They change the order of the parks (due to people who took only 3 days safari), that is not so negative thing but tarangire after ngorongoro and serengeti is not surprising. However, The tour is amazing and the place wonderful. We had problem with the jeep but they solve it in a short time.
I m Italian and about food I don't know what to say, It was normal, even pasta was good. I can suggest Eric as chef. Benson is also a nice person and guide.

Pretty good guide but better cook needed
Everything was ok but the meals. I'm a vegetarian and I've been a bit disappointed with the dishes served.

A little complicated
There was a misalignment on my expectations (wanted to see the Great Migration) versus what the safari package finally delivered (normal safari not focused on the Great Migration), I had chosen the package I did because it was supposed to focus on the Great Migration.
I have to admit that despite the misalignment of expectations I saw a lot and I have done a couple of safaris before in other countries.
Meru Slopes is a very good safari provider, just make sure you discuss the details before deciding on a package.
P.D. They offered a quick and good service recovery (discount on a future tour) once they realized that I was not entirely happy with the service they delivered.

Good safari for a reasonable price: 5 day budget camping Safari for +- €800
Communication via mail and whats app. This went very well though its maybe a good idea to use an online paying program in stead of just making a deposit.
Safari itself was well organised. We were picked up from a hotel and brought to the hotel of Meru slopes in Arusha. This hotel was basic but clean.
Next morning we left at 6 am and drove to the first camping site in Serengeti. We did not do safari the first day and that was a disapointing because we thought we would see already animals. Camping site in Serengeti was beautiful but toilets en showers were dirty.
Camping site in Ngorongoro was nog nice. A lot of people, very dirty toilets and showers, very cold at night.
The food during the safari was very good.
We saw the big 5 and the great migration so that is of course the most important and a big succes.
Our guide and chef were very friendly.
The safari car was a bit to old and not so comfortable..
Overall we enjoyed it very much. A very reliable company!

Wonderful safari and service for a great price!
I had a wonderful experience with Meru Slopes. Everyone was incredibly responsive, service was great and exactly as described, and it was amazing value for the price. The safari was absolutely amazing, and all of the guides, drivers, and hotel staff were knowledgeable and helpful. I would highly recommend them!

Very good value for money
Did the 4 nights / 5 days Manyara / Serengeti / Ngorogoro Crater trip. Excellent value for money including the 2 nights stay in the hotel before and after. Very helpful in assisting in buying bus tickets when we arrived for our departure. Would recommend as very good budget safari. Thank you very much Geoffrey and guys. Happy customers! :-)

Incredible experience and yet good value for money.
This was among my favourite experiences in my life. We saw the big 5 and our own shortlist of nice 5.
Manyara was changed to Tarangire due to seasonal animal migration. We were not disappointed.
Two nights in a 2star hotel were included the night before and after the three day camping. The food is budget, as expected while the driver's professionality and dedication cannot be understated, especially he really knew his car which felt safe due A good camera is a must but don't underestimate the value of a really good binocular. Once you get tired of taking pictures it's great being able to spot actions and rare species from a far. Also bring extra snacks. The trips can be very long. 10-12 hours in the jeeps are standard every day. Some parts are dusty and a mouth balaclava was helpful for our co-travellers. My feedback for the driver is to be clearer with time and schedule. My feedback for the chef is to skip the desert dry carrot sandwiched... and maybe also the bony chickens.

Great experience
We booked a four day safari (lake manyara, ngorongoro & serengeti) with meru slopes! The guide did his best to spot all the animals and always gave us first-row views. The cook's food was very tasty, and the campsites were a great experience (who experienced sleeping between the monkeys and other wildlife ?!) but very basic (especially night 2 and 3). Meru slopes is highly recommended, definitely worth the price you pay! One note of criticism: the communication of the organisation is sometimes lacking. For instance, at the time we left the hotel to go on safari they informed us we could only take one piece of luggage because there wasn't enough space for two pieces of luggage. If we knew that beforehand, we could have mixed our clothes the evening before we left.
Great 5-days Safari!
We went on a 5-days group safari across Manyara, Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro and per-se it was already an amazing experience. As low-budget travellers, we found Meru Slopes was the best deal in terms of value for money. The communication with Geofrey before our arrival was smooth and everything was perfect by the time we arrived. We very much appreciated that airport pick up and the two nights before and after the safari were included in the tour fees. It definitely made our life easier! The tour guide, food and time management were excellent considering what we paid. During the five days we also had an inconvenience so we lost half a day and Omani (our driver and guide) made us start earlier the next day so to not loose anything from our experience. We definitely recommend it to anyone who is open for camping and has a low budget but don't want to give it up with the stunning parks Tanzania has to offer!
