Great expirience. Staff of our safari car was great, skilled & helpful
We enjoyed our 5 days safari a lot :)
Our driver & cook were helpful during the whole trip. We had a great oppurtunity to see lot of animals, we have been told lot of new things about species from our driver.
Driver was driving safely and communicating with other cars with walkie-talkie so we didnt miss any special species if spotted by other car in park.
Definittely recommmended

Amazing tour guides, complete package
Our decision to do a 5 day Safari with Meru Slopes was the BEST idea!
From the first day on we felt like we were part of their family. Their service was exceptional.
Service: free pickup from airport, two free nights in hotel, Emanuel even joined us for dinner in Arusha and led us to a cheap local place.
Safari: great tour guide (Ezekiel), super good food - good tents and even extra acitvities in spare time.
Overall, it was a great experience to do a Safari with Meru Slopes. I would definitely do it again. Price & Value were amazing.

Very good value for money
Geoffrey was always very deligent dealing with the booking details and all concerns I had.
David was our guide and made an effort to make the best out of the journey.
The dinners were good, but the lunches could be better, or at least more creative, but i guess given the conditions it is not easy as well.

We had an unforgettable trip with Meru Slopes' sincere support and meticulous organization!
Meru Slopes is a super reliable tour operator. We didn't arrive in Tanzania with any fully developed plans in mind, however, in the end we booked Meru Slopes' safaris for our entire trip right after spending the first day with them. To be honest, Meru Slopes would probably offer you a price which you could get only after bargain from other operators, and most importantly, they provide you an amazing safari with all necessary assistance and supplies. Geofry, their managing director, has basically solved all our problems and realized all our last-minute ideas. He is truly a reliable and kind man! Meru Slopes' guilds are also very nice and caring, and at the same time, super interesting! We had an unforgettable day with Nuru and John at the foot of Mt. Kilimanjaro, dancing and singing with the local villagers, also enjoyed freshly made local food and coffee. Both the guilds and us have learned a lot from each other from the interesting conversations. We became friends at the end of the day! The experience is much more than just an ordinary guided tour... In one sentence: you must choose Meru Slopes!

Just what I was looking for!
Communication with Goefrey was excellent, he replied very quickly to emails and was easy to get in touch with through whatsapp.
The service was exactly as described: airport pickup; hotel stay; meals etc. It was very well organized! We were amazed at the sights every day and learned a ton of interesting facts from our guide:)
Thank you Meru Slopes Tours!!

well organized budget tour
Everyone on the tour booked through a different tour company, so I am not sure who organized the tour itself. For this reason I can only rate Meru Slopes for the time before and after the safari. They are excellent: professional, with very quick reaction time, dependable and punctual, helpful and make sure their guests are satisfied. I'd use their services again.
As for the safari tour itself: I took part in the 4nights/5 days Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro budget camping tour.
With some previous experience throughout Africa on different safaris, my conclusion is this: expect to get exactly what you paid for. There are no miracles, have realistic expectations: this is a budget tour, with very basic camping facilities (good camping equipment!) and mediocre food, but the exact same astonishing nature as any higher priced tour.
Campsites are the same for everyone, but with special dietary needs, consider a more expensive camping tour. (For more money you will get much better food, question is if it is worth for one to pay approx. 500 usd more for 4-5 days of better camp food. Maybe, maybe not.)
Our guide was ok overall (the man had huge experience and the eyes of a hawk, but not very talkative, sharing very limited info even when encouraged. Luckily I had a fantastic animal guide book with me that explained all that our guide did not.)
To sum up: in case you have general interest in doing safari, no special food requirements, and prepared for wild-camping (literally :D) take this tour with Meru Slopes, you will not be disappointed.
If you are an animal/safari enthusiast, you can still take this tour (no guarantee for a better guide on a more expensive tour), but bring along a good guide book just in case - you will be happy.
If you are a hardcore wildlife fan, find a guide through recommendations, and book a tour with him/her specifically (or ask the agency to book you on a tour with him/her). However, for an exceptional guide, prepare to pay the price.

Except the shopping schedule others are just perfect
They replied very simple but fast, and they really did everything they promised, before/ after pick-up and accomendation (very nice and comfortable ) , which is all satisfying !! the guide looks serious, but very soon I found he is so friendly and easy going. So much fun throughout our trip! And he is also very professional, telling us everything about the animals. He also has very sharp eyesight that he can always spot animals from a distance and tried everything to let us take the best photos. The cook is awesome too! Lunch box is with some limitations but the dinner was all wonderful the cook himself is very fun to talk too! I enjoyed my safari with them a lot. The only thing I dislike is we were taken to a Massai tribe, which didn’t list in our itinerary. Those people Tried to sell you souvenir desperately and the price is ridiculous ! And the chief of tribe asked me to donate to their school so straightforwardly like I owed him the money! The tribe isn’t worthy to visit because they are so impatient when introducing their culture , their only focus is how much money they can get from you! I would 100% recommend Meru Slope to all travelers but suggest saying NO to the tribe schedule directly .
