Professional and budget tour with good care till the end
We´re five friends looking for a budget tour to Serengeti y Gorongoro and we lived a very good experience thanks tu Meru Slopes Safari. They picked up in the airport, and from then they take care of everything. The lodging, the food, the safari, any wish you have the guide (Hillary) tried to get it. We were 5 days safari (plus first night in Arusha and last night in Moshi) and we enjoied a lot. We found a good climax in the camps with the rest of the groups at the end of every journey , and the facilities were good, taking into account we were in a budget trip. The only complain about our trip It´s the bad conditions of the public campsite in Serengeti about all the toilets althogh this is a bussiness of the tanzanian goberment. Also I recommended to include in the safari a day in the lake Natrom area, a friends of me did it and They got a closest sensantion of the massai people and land, even they made a morning walk to the flamingo lake.

Extremely satisfied
Meru Slopes is a very reliable and local agency that made my safari an amazing experience. Their customer relationship is very professional and they really delivered everything I asked for (and expected) and even more. Geofrey is a great guy and he really makes an effort to make your holiday as enjoyable as possible. Would definitely recommend Meru Slopes to every traveller who has safari on their itinerary :)

Everyday we enjoy the safari. We have been 4 national park. Such as Serengeti, Manyara lake, Ngorongoro Crater and Tarangile. The price of Meru Sloper is much reasonable than other operator. Service and food is good. Here special I will thank Zigi game driver. He did his job very good and very friendly to every tourists.

5 unforgettable days in safari with Meru Slopes Tours, Serengeti, Ngorongoro, lake Manyar, Tarangire
Five unforgettable days in safari with Meru Slopes Tours & Safaris, include Serengeti, Ngorongoro, lake Manyara, Tarangire!
At first I could not believe that I get transfer from the airport to the hotel and back, plus overnight at the hotel before and after the safari. But despite the concerns I saw good recommendations, and booked with Geofer Nassari by email after short correspondence. Everything was well organized and I got a good treatment and support from a staff. They answering me for all my questions and solve very fast each issue. In safari I didn't feel the difference between other groups that paid more without hotel before and after and without transfers from and to airport. The only thing I would improve it visit Tarangire and lake Manyara on the same day and not two separate days. This is because they are very close to Arusha and much smaller then Serengeti so half day per each it's enough.
Thanks again to all the staff of Meru Slopes Tours & Safaris and especially to Geofrey Nassari, for five unforgettable days in safari!
Tarangeri and Ngorongoro crater
I dont usually write reviews but will take an exception for Meru Slopes Tours & Safaris . The guide and driver very friendly and knowledgeable about natural sciences and gave good information to the non knowledgeable. Also the accommodation for multiple days worked very well for me. So in a few words I want to recommend fully and honestly for a chance to check a wish from your bucket list :)
excellent tour operator
Very well organized safari through the main tanzanian national parks. Excellent price-quality relationship and very professional staff.

Great Safari Experience
Communication with Geoffrey was great - he responded very quickly to emails and clarified everything before we arrived. We were met at the airport by a friendly driver which was very helpful!
The safari itself was an amazing experience - we were looked after at every point and our driver was very informative. We will definitely be recommending this operator to our friends and families!

Best Quality-price! Amazing experience, they treated us like family, make our trip really special
We are a couple, in our early 30's from Spain but living in Ireland for the last 6 years, we like to travel a lot and we decided to do a safari in Tanzania for 5 days this summer , the safari included 4 National Parks ;Tarangire , Ngoromgoro , Serengeti and Manyara. Initially was hard for us to trust Meru Slopes coz we could not find any references about it apart from the ones in Safari booking . So we started Our own research to find out more about them , their website , their manager , the hotels they work with , their staff , their company number , if they were TATO members ... Etc. Since the very first moment the communication with the manager of the company "Geofrey" , was excellent , and the feedback we got from our private research worked out well, so we exchanged few emails with them and then Geofrey added me on Whatssap so I could ask him any questions ,any time . I requested all sort of info since I wanted to be 100% I could trust them ,Not just with my money but also with our holidays , and once again the proved themselves as a serious company and helped me out with everything, also arranged transportation , accommodation and other activities .
The Great advantage of Meru Slopes is that they are local , and also smaller in size. When comparing Meru with the bigger European/ American companies , we noticed a big difference in price , also the bigger companies were not so approachable , and definitely less flexible to adapt to our needs and budget . Normally all these big companies rarely adapt to your needs unless you go "luxury" or high end .Meru was really flexible , and could adapt to our needs and demands for a reasonable price. They arranged everything for us ( transportation , accommodation , trekking to Kili and other activities apart from the safari ) and also treated us like family , they really made us feel special, always trying to please us and make our staying better and enjoyable . The hotel they recommended to us was in Arusha ( Arusha tourist inn hotel ) was very clean ,with nice views and good service . The hotel is very functional , nothing luxurious about it , but it had everything we needed , including a restaurant with good prices and nice food . Everything in the hotel worked well and was perfectly clean .
The Safari was also amazing, our guide Marco ,had a lot of experience and was the best driver ever . We got to see all the animals, absolutely ALL, ,with the exception of the Rhino , that We only saw from far away ( they are nearly extint amd are very hard to see these days ). Any way, all the parks were absolutely stunning , but our favourites were Serengeti and Ngorongoro. We spent 2 night sleeping in tent and two night in a lodge . We wanted to experience the real adventure In these two magical places and it was really worth it . In the end everything worked out well, we enjoyed tipping everybody , eventhough is mandatory, we actually felt like tipping any ways coz they all were super nice to us . The last day of out trip , they guys had a lovely present for us , and we cannot thank them enough for it , coz they really made our week with them unforgettable . We Highly recommend to go with Meru Slopes tours and safaris .

Absolutely professional tour company with huge expertise and wide range of services
I found Meru Slopes Tours and Safaris company in this amazing website. Very convenient. The company offered very reasonable prices for my trip. I could not call it budget because the whole trip seemed to be more than a budget trip. Of course, I booked a joining safari. It means you have to travel with other people. But there is always possibility to make your own booking for a family or friends.
Communication with the company started from my email and a quick reply with the offer. Everything that Meru Slopes offered came true with expenses, daily trips and the whole plan. And everything was smooth. So, there were no discussions and only a couple of emails before the trip. At first, it seemed that it is too easy to be so, they will forget, will not take much responsibility since you do not have to pay in advance. After I obtained my Tanzanian SIM while travelling I called Meru Slopes and from then on they were always curious about my situation. They took me from the hotel and the safari started. Meru Slopes takes from and to the airport which is 1 h drive from Arusha for free. The company is responsible and serious. I have to highlight that there is no need to book hotels by yourself before/after the trip. Meru Slopes provides comfortable accommodation before and after. The price is included in the tour offer.
My safari lasted four days in the end of March 2016. The trip became even more attractive because new people I joined and traveled together were very nice and friendly from all over the world. Highly skilled and experienced driver Gidion (who becomes a main and the only guide during safari) knew what he is doing very well. I was able to see all what was expected (including the Big 5) and more due to his experience. Unbelievable for a first safari trip. Gidion took responsible actions with the car when problems occurred with the tires. The only thing I missed is a basic first aid kit. Some small health problems occurred to the passengers in safari and there were not even activated carbon in the car. But the problem was solved with the help of others. Actually, the food was excellent during the whole trip. The cook was skilled. And I friendly recommend not to forget about the tipping to the driver and cook. Tipping is not included in the tour price but it is stated in the safari offer from the company. It does not have to be a big donation, just symbolic - as much as you feel good about their service.
All in all, I highly recommend Meru Slopes. My safari tour was very relaxing which made the whole vacation enjoyable and unforgettable. They are operative, quick, informative and take care. They provide their services with a high level of responsibility, knowledge and experience. They care about customers and their needs/expectations. This company provides opportunity to see NPs and the wildlife in a very easy way without large expenses. Just choose the appropriate period of travel because in March you might get some rain especially in Ngorongoro crater. Next is the time for Kilimanjaro and I will definitely use Meru Slopes for this purpose. Good luck, folks!
