Very professional tour operator
We had a great time with Meru Slopes at Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Materuni.
Our consultant Jerome was very present and quick to give us advice and support for our trip.
Our driver Sale and our cook Gadi were the perfect crew for our Safari in Serengeti and Ngorongoro. We enjoyed delicious food and we had and amazing experience with animals and nature in the parks.
We spent a differenti Christmas with our guide Andrew in Materuni, we enjoyed the hot springs, waterfalls and coffe tour there.
Everyone was so professional, we definitely had a great experience.

Unforgettable Safari Adventure with Meru Slopes
We booked the tour in October, and the communication was smooth and prompt. The organizer arranged a transfer from Arusha Airport and a night's stay in Arusha, both of which went seamlessly. The entire coordination was overseen by Manager Almatchius, providing a reliable point of contact for organizational queries.
The 5-day safari across Tarangire National Park, Serengeti National Park, and Ngorongoro Crater was a truly unique experience. Our guide, Florian, proved to be experienced, professional, and adept at answering all our questions. The camps were distinctive, and with a chef accompanying us throughout, we enjoyed consistently delicious meals.
I highly recommend a tour with Meru Slopes; it will undoubtedly be an unforgettable experience for me.

Amazing safari
My friends and I enjoyed this tour so much with our guide Florian. He is super experienced and gave us a unique experience.
The support from Almachius (sales manager) was also very good at all times.
Overnight stays before and after the safari as well as a shuttle to the airport were organized for us.
On the tour itself, every day and every meal was freshly cooked for us and so delicious. Thank you for that! The tour stood out positively from the other providers because there are no packed lunchboxes, but a picnic with fresh and delicious dishes (veggies also possible).
The safari was also a complete success. We saw all the ’Big Five’ up close, a cheetah hunt and breathtaking natural spectacles. The highlight was definitely camping next to elephants.
I can recommend Meru Slopes 100% and would book it again and again including camping next to wild elephants.

professional, well organized and good food
We booked a tour with Meru Slopes for a 6 day private safari and were more than happy with the time spent. The tour was very well organized from the beginning, our guide Douglas was very helpful and showed us the best places in Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Manyara lake so that we saw much more animals than we expected. He told us a lot about the country and animal behaviour. The meals were cooked by our chef Gidion, which were always delicious and diverse. Booking with Meru Slopes will give you an unforgettable experience and the company takes very good care of their clients and offers fair prices.

Best experience ever. If you want the best od the best: ask for Jacob. Really happy with everything
Thanks to Jacob it was simply thw best experience of our lifes. Dream come true, how to come back soon!
We took the 4 night/4 day Safari. We got to Kilimanjaro airport and a driver was waiting for us to go to the first hotel: Green Mountain Hotel, a good hotel located in Arusha, just for sleeping and waking up early to get to know Jacob, our guide/driver, who picked us up at 8 am and our adventure started.
First day: Tarangire: amazing. We saw cheetahs, lions, elephants, A LEOPARD, hyenas, zebras, impalas and many more! After an amazing lunch and posterior game drives, we went to Tarangire Safari Lodge to see the sunset and to get a good night of sleep in a very comftable room (we even heard some lions next to our room at night and got to see some elephants around).
Second day: we saw a bunch of animals in Tarangire, and then drove straight to Ngorongoro entrance, just to go to Serengeti and get to see some more animals. Once again: Jacob, the experienced driver told us a bunch of fun facts about the parks and animals and we learnt A LOT with him. When we got to Serengeti (the most epic place on earth), we saw a pack of lions, a lioness with her baby and dropped some tears of course. Somehow we saw another leopard (which is very rare) and a lot of animals. One can’t imagine how much is going on at Serengeti National Park. We went to sleep to an even better hotel than the one we stayed before: Serengeti Luxury Tented Camps. Got an impressive ‘karibu’ by the staff and the room was out of this world. Forgot to mention: some Masais are part of the staff and they even help you to get to you room at night so it’s actually very safe.
Third day: we spent the day from early morning until 2 p.m. at Serengeti and ONCE AGAIN: LEOPARD. This time was the most epic because we saw it on the grass, just 5 meters away from our car (on the left side) and we had a lion eating a buffalo that it has just killed 10 meters away (on the right side). After some of the best moments and saying ‘asante’ to our friend Jacob, we went back to our fourth and last hotel: Rhino Loddge, a cozy hotel with extremely friendly staff and zebras and waterbucks just in front of our room.
Fourth day: we got to Ngorongoro Crater at 8am, the only one of the great 5 missing: Rhino. After 2.5 hours of seeing lions, hippos, flamingos, hyenas, buffalos and so on, we saw them: TWO BLACK RHINOS on the distance to make this Safari the best part of the best trip of our lifes (our honeymoon).
Once again big props to JACOB, the best driver/guide that we could ever get. He got for us special tanzanian food (Saladin), we had Coca Cola and fresh water the whole time and it’s good to know that Tanzanians, in this case Jacob, are such a kind, welcoming and genuine people. If we ever do a Safari again (that we hope so), we definitely will ask Meru Slopes to get us Jacob as a driver so we can have anothe unbelievable experience such as the one that we just had.
ASANTE JACOB, ASANTE MERU SLOPES,

Outstanding Experience On Safari With Meru Slopes Tours & Safaris!
We recently completed a 5 day safari with Meru Slopes and it’s been the most amazing experience from start to finish!
Geofrey, the owner, was a fantastic host. He communicated very well and responded quickly to any questions before we left home, but was always on hand at his office in the hotel in Arusha too.
Our tour guide, Emanuel, was the friendliest and most lovely person you’ll ever wish to meet! He was not only extremely knowledgeable, but highly skilled and considerate and was all round just the best guide we could’ve hoped for. Emanuel shared all his passion, knowledge, and experience, and guided us through the national parks with great skill and ease.
Our travelling chef, called Gidione, made up the team and he was absolutely fantastic too! The freshly cooked meals we shared with our group, that he created at the lodges and campsites was exceptional! Breakfast, lunch and dinner surpassed anything we expected.
We cannot fault this team and all their hard work! Thank you Meru Slopes for making memories we will treasure forever.
If you are looking for a tour company in Tanzania, look no further than Meru Slopes!!

A profound Safari Experience
We were looking for a local tour operator for a safari and found Meru Slopes. We then booked a 7-day private safari to the Arusha, Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro, and Lake Manyara National Parks with Geofrey from Meru Slopes. The deposit process went smoothly, and we paid the rest on-site in Arusha. At Kilimanjaro Airport, we were picked up by a Geofrey staff member with a name tag and taken to Arusha for the first night. From there, the next day, we embarked on a 8-day journey through all the national parks with our guide Robert and our chef Dulla. We couldn't have asked for a better guide than Robert! His knowledge of flora and fauna is immense, and you can feel his years of experience and incredible enthusiasm for the beauty of nature. He has an incredible eye for spotting animals and knows the Serengeti like no other. We love photography, and many of the photos would never have been possible without his professionalism. Dulla spoiled us with freshly cooked delicacies every day, leaving nothing to be desired! We even had fresh homemade bread every day.
A personal highlight were the starry nights in the Serengeti and at the Ngorongoro Crater. Simply beautiful - highly recommended!

Amazing
a dream come true! I researched some local agencies to do a safari in Tanzania and based on comments from other customers, I opted for Meru slopes. the contact made via whatsapp, quickly and clearly with Geoffrey, I always ask to clarify doubts. I signed a package with the option of a lodge in the serengeti park, the whole experience was exceptional, from the reception on arrival and on the last day! transfer to and from the airport was offered. the very comfortable accommodations and very experienced guide provided an unforgettable experience

Unforgettable!
We had a really nice trip, all organised, but also flexible to our wishes. Our guide Douglas gave us interessting facts (we could ask him everything) and our cook Moshi always created delicious food - both really friendly, funny and they made sure that we feel well. All sleeping equipment was available and it is a nice experience to sleep in the nature in the tent (although a little bit cold;)). Just recommendable!!

Meru Slopes was Awesome
We had a great experience with Meru Slopes. Other operators we checked with couldn't believe the price we got - which made us nervous, until we actually did the Safari. We were not disappointed. We had a great driver & guide (Daniel) who was incredibly passionate and knowledgeable about the wildlife. He taught us a lot about all the birds and wildlife, and he never hurried us to leave a spot. Our early mornings (highly recommended) meant that we had some unencumbered wildlife encounters without others around. Salim (our cook) wise likewise excellent. We are vegetarian, and Salim did a great job of making delicious food. We had different soups every night and hot lunches every day. Geofrey (the owner/manager) was super communicative, very helpful, and when we had an issue (on our end) with a bank transfer, there was never a worry from Geofrey. If you have a budget and need an inexpensive option, you will see exactly the same wildlife on this trip and the guide, cook, food & transportation is excellent.
