On safari to Serengeti and Ngorongoro with Meru Slopes Tours was unforgettable beautiful!
5/5

I went for 3 days on Safari with Meru Slopes Tours to Serengeti and Ngorongoro and it was wunderfull. The night before I slept in the Arusha Tourist Inn hotel; also from the owner off Meru Slopes& Tours; a basic but clean hotel; just good! Too see the animals in there naturale habitat was realy moving for me. During this 3 days I received very much respect for our driver and guide Benson who tireless drove us around so we could see as much animals as possible. I think we saw all off them; the big five, zebra's, impala's, monkeys, gnoes, etc etc. The roads were sometimes fairly heavy because it rained some days before, but for Benson it was no problem at all. He also give us a lot of information about the animals. A realy nice guy!just as our happy cook Mathew who prepared lovely, nutritious meals for us 3 times a day. Both guys made this safari great! The tents on the campingsite were we spend 2 nights were also good! The toilets and douches were clean and...unbelieveble but also there Free Wifi! During the night a zebra grazed next to my tent and 2 elephants were just passing by the campsite, but it was never dangerous. It was an experience I never will forget.

Fantastic safari thanks to Geofrey, Benson and Matthew!
5/5

Where do I begin describing the amazing 3 day safari I had with Meru Slopes Tours & Safaris? I feel I lack the words to describe what a great time we had.

We where short on time and could only do the 3 day safari through Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater, but thanks to guide Benson's knowledge of the parks, we where able to see all of the Big 5 in such a short time. It's amazing to see how Bensons takes you to all the wild sightings in the park, he seems to have a "wild animal magnet" to him :-) It's like the animals are coming to him instead of the other way around :-)

Cook Matthew provided very taste meals. He often amazed us with his fine cuisine skills, providing delicious soups, salads, quiches, home made fries and pizzas, cooked brown rice, succulent chicken and meat, plenty of healthy vegetables and sweet fruits. Matthew made sure everyone's stomachs where filled, ready for the next safari adventure.

Before booking, we had been in touch with Geofrey for months. Whatever crazy time of the day (or night) we sent Geofrey a question, Geofrey answered quickly and took away all our concerns.

To sum it all up, if you're looking to enjoy an Tanzanian safari on a budget, don't hesitate to book with Meru Slopes and ask for Benson and Matthew and you will definitely have a great time.

Our travelling experience with Meru Slopes Tours and Safaris entirely exceeded all out expectations.
5/5

Our trip from Arusha over Tarangire NP into the Serengetti, the Ngoro Ngoro crater and back to Arusha was an unforgettable experience for us. Thank you to the organizers of the trip for reliable preparation and communication throughout, to the driver for safe driving and the cook for preparing excellent food throughout our whole stay. We will be sure to recommend you to our friends!

Amazing Experience
5/5

The manager and the all staffs are so kind and helpful. Since when we were in Japan, we could contact the manager very well and he responded so quickly. We went to Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Tarangire for 4 days. Our guide know well, so we saw a lot of animals and he gave us many information of the animals. The tour includes all of stuff and we can stay in their hotel before and after the safari tour. I think that the price of tour is reasonable. I never forget this special experience with the operator, Meru Slopes.

I went safari tour for 4 days. It was amazing!! We can see a lot of animals, including Lions, Rinos, Cheetahs because of our good driver. He taught us about animal’s habitats and his safari experience. His English is easily for me ( I am not good at English;) The all staffs are amazing:) and the all meals was very delicious! Thank you very much for the best trip! Asante Sana:)

An amazing holiday unlike anything I have ever experienced before!
5/5

We went with Meru Slopes in the recommendation of another friend who traveled with them in May.

Meru Slopes made everything very easy from start to finish. Everything from airport pickup to accommodation before and after our safari was covered which made things super easy.

On safari our guide Iddie went above and beyond to find us all the animals. We saw literally every African animal I wanted to see.Our cook Richard also prepared delicious food every day.

I can't recommend these guys enough. Overall it was a great experience and I'd love to go with them again. If I can make one recommendation, I suggest doing a four day safari of only Serengeti and Ngorongoro. Without the standard 4 day you only have a short time in Serengeti and it's not really enough.

Perfect organisation, awesome tour
5/5


We have booked for the start of our honeymoon on 01.01. the 3 day tour in the Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Crater. Everything was very well organized, the booking etc was made per email to Geofrey. We were picked up from the airport and taken to a hotel in Arusha, the next day the tour started early in the morning. During the 3 days we had a great driver / guide (Jay) and a cook (Odulla) who conjured up great food. It was a unique experience, thanks to Jay's experience we could all see "big five" and much, much more. He told us a lot about life in Tanzania, the people and the animals. After the tour we had another overnight stay in the hotel and were brought to the airport the next day. Meru Slopes is highly recommended! Everything was well organized and ran smoothly. We had an overwhelming three days!

Fascinating Safari and perfect Service
5/5

We did a four-day Safari with Meru Slopes to Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Tarangire and had an amazing time.
Our guide was very keen on giving us the experience to see the Big five and we were served delicious meals three times a day.

I can highly recommend Meru Slopes to anyone.

Keep up your good work!

Trip of a lifetime
5/5

We had originally booked the 5-day safari but our plane bookings (made by us...) had been cancelled and we had a lot of issues before we could even arrive to Arusha. But thanks to Geoffrey, the top notch boss of Meru Slopes Safari, we were able to modify our trip, from 5 to 4 day safari, making the most of what we should have had from it. We booked directly from Geoffrey and prepaid our trip; there again we had issues, but Geoffrey helped us and supported us all the way. He even offered us accommodation in Arusha Tourist Inn the night before and the night after the safari!!!! All his help made it so much easier to deal with as we were travelling with 3 young teenagers (12,11,11). So we were reassured all the way by his professionalism! And by the way, the food in the Inn is lovely!!!!
So, for the safari, there was only our family of 5 and our two amazing copilots: Jacob and God Bless. These are two amazing people, as you could see on the pictures, they are always smiling, and willing to help no matter what to make your safari the experience of a lifetime, and it was! We got to see so many incredible places and animals, and Jacob went above and beyond by giving us more insight onto what we were seeing. He had a book of the fauna of east Africa and kept referring to it whenever we saw animals so we could learn so much more about it all than just taking pictures and moving on to the next animal. He would take all the time we needed, we would stop whenever we asked or whenever we saw something and we would have the delight to just watch in amazement at our luck of being in this amazing part of the world. We felt safe and well-looked after at all times with him, and by no means did we feel there could be an issue for the safety of our children. He drove endlessly everyday to make our trip amazing and worthy. He also got us to discover red bananas ;o)
God Bless was also amazing, everyday as we would return to our sleeping arrangements for the night, he would already have prepared popcorn and a hot drink (kids have never loved salty popcorn so much before) so we could start to unwind, remembering all the amazing discoveries the day had given us. And then he would treat us to an amazing dinner every night. So much that we asked him to teach us some recipes. I have since tried the cucumber soup with his recipes and the spices he advised us to get. I'll get close to its original taste soon ;o)
We recommend this tour to anyone wishing to have a lifetime safari experience!
