Choosing Meru Slopes was our best decision!
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.

Excellent
Beyond words! You will not be disappointed with Meru Slopes. The guides, the food, the people, the accommodations, the price, and most importantly.. the service. There is not a better safari company out there!

Amazing experience!
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!

Excellent tour, also for families!
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!

Unforgettable Safari Experience with Meru Slopes – Highly Recommended!
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!

Incredible organization and experience!
Incredible Safari with Meru Slopes – Great Value and Experience!
We went on a safari with Meru Slopes in early July 2025 and had an amazing experience. From the beginning, communication with Jerome was easy and smooth—he was always helpful and quick to assist with planning our custom itinerary. Even when one lodge had to be changed, he immediately found a great alternative and kept us informed.
All transfers were well-organized and included in the price, which was the most competitive we found for this level of service and accommodation.
Our guide, Kunda, made the trip unforgettable. Friendly, knowledgeable, and always focused on making sure we saw as much wildlife as possible—he even fixed a minor mechanical issue himself before entering the park! He told great stories, spoke excellent English, and made us feel completely safe and entertained throughout the journey.
The vehicle was super comfortable, with Wi-Fi, drinks, water, and chargers. We especially loved staying in the tented camps—it added a real sense of adventure.
Serengeti and Ngorongoro were the highlights: breathtaking landscapes and tons of animals.
Highly recommended—great team, great organization, and unforgettable memories!

Wonderful Serengeti
The 8days tour was an amazing experience that was far above any expectations. Meru Slopes did outstanding job in organizing and executing it including excellent communication and providing Florian as superb guide/driver.
Perfect in accommodating our needs
We had the best experience with Meru Slopes and our super guide Santaelli. Very knowledgeable and always in a great mood. We saw all the animals we could ever dream of and we always felt very safe and comfortable through Santaelli’s professional guidance. Would recommend Meru Slopes to anyone.
Also, they were VERY good in tackling our needs with small kids in the car the entire week, taking care of special meal requests and making sure the kids also had a great time even with spending many hours in the car every day.

Unbelievable, once in a lifetime Experience!
We expected this 8 day safari with Meru Slopes to be very good but it was much better than that, start to finish. I was looking for a Tanzanian company as I'd previously watched a documentary that stated the pricing with a Tanzanian company was much better than with American, Australian and English companies. I was surprised with the difference. I chose Meru Slopes because of the surplus great reviews.
Gift Tembo was very helpful with all planning details. He was very responsive and nothing was a problem for him, including having us picked up at the airport at 2am.
Our guide Stanley was amazing. His passion and knowledge truly made our experience. He was always able to get us into just the right spot for a great view and perfect angle for taking wonderful photos. The landcruiser was cleaned and stocked each evening, ready for the next day. Many roads are not sealed so they could be bumpy but we felt totally safe with Stanley's driving skills. His sense of humour helped us relax from day one. He catered to all of our needs including returning to a lodge to retrieve a backpack that was left behind, finding Diet coke in a small village and finding private 'emergency Bush toilets' quickly. Nothing was a problem for Stanley. He wanted us to have the perfect experience.
All the food and accommodation was very good with the highlight of 'glamping' in 2 bush camps. It was so exciting to see 2 giraffe and zebras at our door early morning as we left for a sunrise Serengeti drive.
I did a lot of research then finally chose Meru Slopes for our safari. Next time I will automatically book with them....no more research needed.
