Meru ensure our first Safari tour is the most memorable trip
I had been thoroughly confused about selecting safari tours. Heart said Serengeti, but everyone else said MasaiMara for first Safari. I tried countless operators and landed on MERU SLOPES based on searches in the safari bookings website. When I reached out to Shadrack didn't know what to expect. But, he designed the perfect itinerary as requested and provided me with all possible details to make me feel confident about the selection.
Since, we landed in Arusha we have been under the care of Meru and the experience has been exemplary. Really hospitable operators who take care of the tiniest of the details.
Coming to the Safari, our guide was John Felix Munishy for our time in Tarangire, Ndutu & Ngorongoro. He's the nicest man who introduced us to Sweet Reggae on our way to Ngorongoro. But, his real skills came out in the game drives. He expertly tracked down the animals, knew all the right spots and very good in picking information from the radio calls and other guides. Not just that he patiently maneuvered the jeep to find the best spot for us to get the best camera angle. We must have made him go forward and backward almost a thousand times over the safari. He did it with a smile and celebrated every great picture with us.
When not tracking animals, John taught us Swahili and gave us information about the animals.
With him as our guide we spotted all the big 5, the ugly 5, 2 Seville Cats, Cheetah and White Jackal. Not to mention countless gazelles & birds.
Meru had also booked a hot-air balloon ride for us over Ndutu which is a once in a lifetime experience.
From just finding information on the internet to visiting Tanzania and falling in love with the country, Meru had a great role to play and would definitely recommend them to everyone looking to go on their first African Safari adventure.

Amazing safari experience. Douglas is the best!
Meru Slopes, and specifically Douglas (our driver and guide) gave us the best trip of our lives. We did 6 days of Safari through Tarangire, Central Serengeti, Ndutu (with a hot air balloon ride), and Ngorongo Crater. We had one final day in Arusha with a day trip to Materuni Falls. This perfect itinerary was organized by Leonard and he was responsive throughout the whole trip. The safari was a life changing experience. We loved every single moment of it. My wife and I each celebrated our birthdays throughout the trip and Meru Slopes was excellent in organizing many surprises for our birthdays.
Our accommodations were great. Well furnished, nice toilets with hot showers, great staff. The only thing is that it would sometimes get very hot during the day and only our first tented accommodation had a regular sized fan. It was quite a cool experience to hear the wildlife right outside our tent at night.
We saw each of the Big Five and many other animals. We witnessed predators and scavengers feeding on prey, a wildabeest calf being born, a parade of elephants walking towards us, a cheetah scanning for prey from atop a termite mound. These experiences, and more, were only possible because of the 15 years of expertise of Douglas. He was truly amazing and we genuinely miss him now that our trip is over. He made us feel like family. 10/10 recommend.

Excellent service
I went on a 6-day safari with my partner, and choosing this company made our trip unforgettable. The excellent communication with Kelvin, our guide and driver Lobulu (who made a point of talking to everyone to see as many animals as possible), our translator Simon (who was very funny), the high-quality food prepared by Chef Gidion, and all the transfers and amenities, proved that they were definitely worth choosing.

Absolutely amazing!
We did a 5-day private safari with Meru Slopes and it was absolutely amazing! Our guide Mohamed (Moody) was very friendly, funny, a great driver, and knew where to find all the animals we were hoping to see. We saw all of the big 5 and many, many more!
The accommodations we stayed at were all stunning, clean and comfortable, and the food provided during the tour was delicious. The team also went out of their way to organize a birthday surprise for my boyfriend, making our experience even more special.
Big thanks to Leonard for organizing everything so well, and of course to our guide Moody for making this such a memorable trip - highly recommend booking your safari trip with Meru Slopes!
Unforgettable experience
I would like to thank you very much for organizing the climb to Kilimanjaro. When ordering the climb, communication with CK Meruslopes with Mr. Jerome Hotti was completely seamless. The team assigned to us with the main guide Hussein was excellent. Hussein is a wise man with many years of experience, supervised his team to make sure that everything was as it should be. Everyone was very friendly and tried to do their best to help us successfully climb to the top of Uhuru Peak. All of us from our 4-member group could do it without major health problems, also thanks to good acclimatization, which was due to the correctly chosen walking pace and the correct recommended route. I must also praise the food that the chef prepared for us during the climb, because the food was excellent and there was always plenty of it. I definitely recommend CK Meruslopes.

Highly recommendable!
We had an amazing 5-day safari experience with Meru Slopes. From the very beginning, communication with the company was excellent.
The safari itself was fantastic. Our guide and cook took care of all the practical details, allowing us to relax and fully enjoy the experience.
Overall, this safari was absolutely worth the money, and we highly recommend Meru Slopes to anyone looking for a memorable and well-organized safari adventure.
A special thank you to Lobulu and Buka. I have been on this exact trip twice with Lobulu as my guide and he is phenomenal. Together with Buka as our cook, they made the perfect and most authentic safari experience you can imagine. THANK YOU 🙏🏻

Our 7-day "Big 5" honeymoon safari with Meru Slopes was a seamless and unforgettable experience.
My husband and I booked the '7-Day Honeymoon & Serena Experience to Big 5' with Meru Slopes and had an amazing time. We worked with Almachius for the booking, and the entire process was seamless.
The safari itself exceeded our expectations. We visited three national parks—the Serengeti, Ngorongoro, and Tarangire. Our guide, Patrick, was incredibly knowledgeable, sharing fascinating insights about the wildlife and successfully helping us spot the Big 5!
We stayed in four different Serena hotels, where the accommodations were wonderful and the staff went above and beyond to make our honeymoon special.
I would definitely recommend Meru Slopes for an unforgettable safari experience.

amazing trip with a great tour company
We chose Meru Slope for our tour since their communication is very efficient and quickly responded. Also, their price is very reasonable.
Then my daughter and I started our 8-day Safari with a little bit nervous for the uncertainty. From midnight airport pick up to the last day drop off at the airport, we have experienced wonderful service. The places they arranged are very clean and safe. Especially the hot water shower at each place is impressed me. Also, I would like to let you the food are varied and very good arranged in every place. Our picnic lunches are very good compared to other travel groups we saw at the picnic area since some of them only provide their customers with quick food. We were always provided at least two courses.
The tour with our tour guide, Godfrey, is also unforgettable. Godfrey guided us for 8 days in the parks. He provided not just driving us but a lot of knowledge about animals and history. He has the invisible map in his head and knows where to take you to see the most amazing moment of wildlife.
I would like to emphasize about Meru Slope Tour is their commitment to guest satisfaction and their value. Jerome is the contact person who helped us book the whole trip and followed up with some issues even after our trip. I am fully impressed by his professional way of treating the customer.

Incredible safari experience provided by Meru Slopes!
An unforgettable safari experience from Meru Slopes in Tanzania! From the plains of the Serengeti to the stunning Ngorongoro Crater, every game drive was incredible. We saw an amazing variety of wildlife, seeing all 5 of the big 5! Our guide Max was extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and made the experience even more special. The scenery, wildlife, accommodations and food exceeded all expectations. Truly a once-in-a-lifetime adventure that I would highly recommend using Meru Slopes for. I hope to be back soon with Meru Slopes and see Max again!
