Unforgettable Safari Experience with Meru Slopes – Highly Recommended!
5/5

We chose Meru Slopes for our safari at the beginning of July 2025, and everything was absolutely perfect from start to finish.

I got in touch with Jerome, who was always incredibly kind, quick to respond, and very helpful in organizing our personalized itinerary. During the planning phase, one of the lodges was changed, and he immediately let me know and offered a great alternative. All the transfers, including airport pick-up and drop-off, were arranged and included in the initial quote—which, after comparing several options, was the best value for the same type of safari and accommodations.

Our guide, Kunda, was simply amazing! He shared so many interesting facts about the animals, went out of his way to make sure we spotted everything we were hoping to see (even coordinating with other guides via radio), and drove safely on some very rough roads. He entertained us with stories from his experience and even sang for us—such a cheerful and knowledgeable person! He speaks excellent English and made the experience even more enjoyable. At one point we had a small issue with the brakes, and he fixed it himself before entering the park—he’s a great guide and mechanic!

The jeep was fully equipped with Wi-Fi, cold drinks, water, chargers, and a radio—super comfortable throughout the journey.

All of the accommodations exceeded expectations, especially the tented camps we chose, which offered a truly immersive and unforgettable experience.

For us, Central Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater were the absolute highlights—magical places that leave you in awe and create lifelong memories.

Overall, 10/10 for Meru Slopes, Kunda, Jerome, and everything Tanzania has to offer. We wholeheartedly recommend them for anyone dreaming of a perfect safari!

Excellent tour, also for families!
5/5

We had a great 5-day-adventure as a family with two kids (10,7) and grandma and we absolutely recommend it. Also the two nights in a tent in the middle of Serengeti Nationalpark and Ngorogorocrater were an wonderful adventure that can be highly recommended. Our guide and cook were nice and really good in their job. We created memories for a lifetime!

Amazing experience!
5/5

We had an amazing 6-day safari with Meru Slopes Safari. Our guide Samwel was super friendly, professional, and knew so much about the animals, nature, and local culture. We saw so many animals, it was for sure a once in a lifetime experience.

Camping at night with animals around was exciting, and the food from our cook was really tasty with lots of variety.

We‘d definitely go with them again and totally recommend them!

Choosing Meru Slopes was our best decision!
5/5

We are so glad that we chose Meru Slopes! Meru Slopes provided a safari experience that managed to exceed our already high expectations. Gift T. communicated swiftly and clearly during our planning. He helped us customize the perfect 8 day safari experience. Our driver and guide Florian was friendly, experienced, very professional, and responsible for providing us with an even better experience than we could have imagined. He knew every animal and could spot them with surprising speed. We noticed many other safari companies struggling with inexperienced or poorly maintained vehicles. Our vehicle was very well maintained and our driver gave us the highest confidence. We also did a Materuni Falls day trip, prior to our safari. In that case, our driver and guide was Herman. As with the other Meru Slopes team members, he was knowledgeable, friendly, and the best guide and new friend. I highly recommend Meru Slopes tours and safaris. Their prices were very fair, their lodges and hotels were spectacular, and their guides were the utmost professionals.

Gift was responsive and amazing, promptly answering all of our questions and facilitating a smooth t
5/5

My husband and I just returned from an unforgettable 8-day safari with Meru Slopes Tours & Safaris, and we can't recommend them highly enough. While a safari hadn’t originally been on our bucket list, we joined close friends on this adventure and we’re so glad we did!

From the start, our experience was seamless. Gift Tembo, our Meru Slopes coordinator, was outstanding. He was prompt, professional, and incredibly helpful throughout the planning process. Every detail was handled smoothly, and we felt well taken care of from the moment we landed in Tanzania.
The accommodations during the safari, a mix of charming lodges and authentic bush camps, were excellent, and the food throughout was fresh, flavorful, and plentiful.

The true highlight of our trip was our guide, Stanley. Calm, knowledgeable, and deeply passionate about his country and its wildlife, Stanley made every game drive an adventure. He grew up around wildlife (his father was also a guide), and his instincts were amazing. He often spotted animals in the distance that we never would have seen. Thanks to him, we saw lions, leopards, cheetahs, elephants, giraffes, rhinos, zebras, hyenas, hippos, and more. One magical moment we’ll never forget was watching a cheetah mother teach her cubs to hunt.

This was truly the trip of a lifetime, and we’re so grateful to Gift, Stanley, and the entire Meru Slopes team. If you're considering a safari, look no further. Meru Slopes delivers an exceptional, once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Unforgettable Tanzania Safari Experience with Meru Slopes – 5 Stars!

My recent safari trip to Tanzania, arranged by Meru Slopes, was nothing short of incredible. From start to finish, everything was handled with the utmost professionalism, warmth, and attention to detail. Here’s a breakdown of my wonderful experience:

Outstanding Planning by Jerome
First and foremost, I want to thank Jerome, who was in charge of organizing the itinerary. He was extremely patient, kind, and responsive throughout the entire planning process. Every request I made—big or small—was taken seriously, and he went above and beyond to make sure everything was arranged perfectly.

Jerome clearly cares deeply about guest satisfaction. He even followed up after the trip to get feedback and was always open to adjusting plans to accommodate both our preferences and local considerations. That level of commitment made a huge difference and really put us at ease.

Knowledgeable and Enthusiastic Guide – Julius
Our tour guide, Julius, was equally amazing. He spoke fluent English, was very enthusiastic, and had deep knowledge about the wildlife, nature, and history of the areas we visited. He made every game drive exciting and educational, and his passion for the region and its animals was infectious.

Julius made sure we felt safe and comfortable at all times and helped us spot all the Big Five and so much more! Thanks to his guidance, we were able to see a stunning variety of wildlife in their natural habitat—truly a dream come true.

Exceptional Accommodations and Service
We opted for a private safari, and all the accommodations arranged by Meru Slopes were top-notch. The lodges were clean, well-maintained, and staffed by friendly and attentive people, including many wonderful women working in hospitality who made us feel very welcome.

Each stay was thoughtfully chosen and provided the perfect mix of comfort and authentic safari experience. From meals to hygiene, everything exceeded our expectations.

Perfectly Handled Logistics
The team took care of everything from airport pickup to drop-off. The transitions between lodges, parks, and activities were seamless and stress-free. Knowing that we were in good hands the entire time allowed us to just relax and enjoy every moment.

Highly Recommended!
I’m extremely happy with my experience and will 100% recommend Meru Slopes to anyone considering a safari in Tanzania. Whether it's your first time or a return visit, you’ll be well taken care of, and your trip will be unforgettable.

Thank you again to Jerome, Julius, and the entire Meru Slopes team for making this adventure so special!

Unforgettable Family Safari Trip
5/5

We booked a safari trip for two families in Tanzania with Meru slopes in July. We visited Tarangire, Ngoro Ngoro and Serengeti, the trip has been amazing for the nature the locations and a perfect service by our two guides Lobulu and Dominique. They took us to see all possible animals and trees , they explained lots of information about the animals life in the Savana and have been incredibly friendly. Our kids of 18 , 14 and 13 years old enjoyed so much animal game with Lobulu and teached him Italian songs ! In conclusion I strongly recommend a safari trip with Meru slopes in Tanzania !!

Unforgettable kindness
5/5

From start to end, Meru Slope went above and beyond.
Starting from Godfriend who picked us up from the airport late at night, Herman who showed us around Arusha and Hedson who drove us back to the airport.
A huge thank you to Gift Tembo who helped plan a great itinerary, arranged for us to rest after our very late arrival in Arusha, and briefed us in person before and after the safari trip. His kindness did not go unnoticed. Max (Elias), our guide and driver, became a much appreciated member of our group. His professionalism and knowledge of the fauna and flora of Tarangire, Ngorongoro and Serengeti, made the game drive & trip incredibly educational and fun. Max’s kindness was not limited to us, and was rather extended to other guides and drivers, helping them find their way or fix their tyres. Max also taught us some basic Swahili words and shared his beautiful culture. Max made sure we saw the Big Five and beyond. This trip was a dream come true ! Thank you Meru Slopes.

Well organized!
5/5

We did a 6 day tour! 4 total days safari at Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro. We saw the big 5 and many many more animals. Luckily we saw a Black Rhino and also Leopards 5 times! The zebra & Wildebeest migration was incredible to see!
All lodges were amazing, staff were friendly and helpful, especially the African Kongoni camp was fantastic!

Thank you to Gift who organized our tour. His response is always quick and helpful. When we arrived first day at 1am, they prepared hotel for a short stay last minute, which was above and beyond.

Also thank you to our guide & driver, Max! He is experienced, well organized and safe driver! He has good eyes to spot animals!

It was an amazing time and I recommend Meru slopes 100%!
