Perfectly organized, friendly, professional, and truly unforgettable safari experiences.
Our 7-day safari in Tanzania was simply unforgettable and without a doubt one of the best travel experiences we have ever had.
From the airport pick-up on the first day until the end of our trip, everything was perfectly organized. All transfers went smoothly, and the lodges we stayed in were beautiful. The staff at every lodge were incredibly warm, welcoming, and attentive, making us feel comfortable throughout our entire stay.
A big thank you goes to Leonard Mkwavi for the excellent organization of the trip.
Our biggest praise, however, goes to our guide, Elbarik. With his warm personality, great sense of humor, and genuine kindness, he made this safari truly special. His knowledge of Tarangire National Park, Serengeti National Park, the Ngorongoro Crater, and Lake Manyara National Park was outstanding. He always seemed to know exactly where to find the animals, and thanks to his experience and expertise, we were able to see an incredible variety of wildlife, including many rare species. Along the way, he shared fascinating information about the animals, nature, and the national parks, making every game drive both exciting and educational.
You could clearly see how passionate Elbarik is about his work and how much he enjoys creating unforgettable experiences for his guests. That passion made all the difference and turned our safari into a once-in-a-lifetime adventure.
We highly recommend this safari and the entire team to anyone planning a trip to Tanzania. Thank you for an absolutely amazing experience—we will cherish these memories forever and hope to return one day!

Life changing safari experience - Highly recommend Daniel Mbise
Just finished an incredible 10-day safari in Tarangire, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro. Daniel Mbise was the most knowledgeable and experienced guide we could have asked for. He taught us so much about the wildlife, local culture, and history. His spotting skills on our game drives were amazing, we saw multiple lions, leopards, cheetahs and even a rhino! As a photographer, I was especially grateful that Daniel was very patient and helped me to get the best angles for shots.
The entire trip was very well planned by Meru Slopes. Kelvin was super responsive and answered my many questions and fully customized the itinerary to fit exactly what we wanted. The accommodations felt luxurious, the food was excellent, and we got to see pretty much everything on our bucket list. I highly recommend booking with Meru Slopes and asking for Daniel Mbise!

Wonderful experience, perfect organization by Gift and Omari at Meru Slopes!
Many thanks to Meru Slopes for a very well organized safari tour! Our safari coordinator Gift was excellent at suggesting the best ideas for our itinerary and flexible adjusting to our needs. Our guide / driver Omari did a wonderful job at organising our daily activities and was very helpful in reaching the main areas of interest. Omari is also very experienced in finding the locations of different animals and spotting them even from far away. Omari was very knowledgeable about Tanzania, its culture and biodiversity. Many thanks once again for excellent experience, we would repeat it any time in the future!

Amazing tour guide, unforgettable 9-day mid range northern circuit Safari experience
We did a 9-day mid range northern circuit safari private tour with Meru Slopes and Tours. We started in Tarangire, the. Serengeti, Ngorongoro crater, and ended with Lake Manyara.
Each national park was a unique experience. Each of the parks had their own ecosystem with amazing animals. It was well organized and planned with adequate time spent in each park.
Leonard Mkawi, the organizer, communicated well with us and made sure our trip went smoothly.
Our tour guide Samweli Bahine was simply the best. He was knowledgeable not only about the animals but also about the local flora and fauna, culture, and history. We learned a lot from him. We saw all the Big 5, Ugly 5, Small 5, and some unique animals such as monitor lizard and a variety of birds that looked like dinosaurs. Samweli was on time, kept the vehicle clean, and made sure our food was vegetarian/vegan. He went above and beyond to make sure we had an amazing experience. We learned a lot from him. He was friendly, warm, and kind.
Overall I would highly recommend Meru Slopes and Tours. They are a local tour group and we were very happy with the tour organized by this operator. We wanted to support the local community and we are very glad we chose Meru Slopes and Tours. Unlike other tour operators that are not Tanzanian, where the slim profits may not ever trickle down to the local people, Meru Slopes and Tours is providing employment and development for the local people. We would definitely choose them again. They gave us a safe, comfortable, enjoyable, and unforgettable experience in Tanzania.

Safari - Best Honeymoon-Moment
We booked an 8-day safari through Leonhard and meruslopes, and it was the best decision we could have made. We were more than satisfied with our guide, Jacob. He is very courteous, friendly, and funny. He was able to answer our questions thoroughly and always shared interesting facts. He's also very good at finding animals; thanks to him, we were able to see all of our Big Five, hunt two lions, and much more!
We highly recommend meruslopes and especially Jacob!

Professional, very knowledgeable
My wife and I booked with Meru Slopes for the 6 day safari. Gift Tembo coordinated our booking, he was prompt with text messages and available for phone calls at all times. He also coordinated free accommodation and food for us the night before and after our safari which was incredibly helpful, as well as transportation to and from the airport. Our guide Godfrey was great, he got us all big 5 as well as ugly 5, plus many more animals. Very knowledgeable guide as well. Our chef Salim always prepared good meals on time and provided us plenty of food with every meal. We would happily work with this company again. Well worth the price

Nicely organized safari
Just finished a 6-day safari in Tanzania. We started at Tarangire, followed by Lake Manyara, Serengeti and finally, the amazing Ngorongoro crater.
We managed to see all of the Big Five, with the final one, the Black Rhino, seen in the last hour of the last day of the safari.. truly remarkable.
We also got to witness the Great Migration in the Serengeti.
We booked with Meru Slopes Tours and Safaris and they created a very nice, well balanced programme for throughout our stay. Accomodations were also great, especially the Sightseeing Luxury Tented Lodge in the Serengeti. Special mention to our guide, Douglas, who was really knowledgeable, experienced and very kind. Also, thank you to Jerome who assisted us with the booking and planning, including airport pick up.

Meru Slopes exceeded our expectations of a perfect safari
From our first contact with Meru Slopes to when we said our farewell at the airport, we had excellent service. Jerome helped us decide which safari would suit us best and answered all our queries. He always responded promptly and when our airline altered our flight by more than 24 hours, he adjusted our safari to suit. The day before we started our safari, he visited us at the hotel and enquired if we had any allergies as the company would be ordering picnics for our safari days. What really surprised us, is that Jerome also came to see us the day after our safari ended to ask how it was, were we happy etc.
Well, we were more than happy. Our adventure with our wonderful guide, Douglas was perfect. Douglas has a wealth of knowledge about the wildlife, bird life and plant life and he happily shares it. Douglas is just amazing at spotting the animals and then maneuvering the jeep so we had an excellent view. He is a skillful and safe driver. He was also an excellent companion! We can highly recommend this company and our guide Douglas.
