Efficient, accomodating, warm and knowledgeable. Perfect guides to the Serengeti.
5/5

Our safari with Meru Slopes was everything one could possibly imagine a great safari should be. We went for a private 8 day tour with one day at Tarangire, one day at Ngorongoro crater, two days in Central and 3 days in Western serengeti. Coordination was seamless and timely. All arrangements were top notch and as promised. Shadrack was a warm welcome to Tanzania. He was open to all our modifications to the itinerary. Our guide Muddy was the star of the show. For 7 days he was an invaluable source of information about the Serengeti. He could spot an animal in the craziest places while driving. And his driving skills were top tier. We saw many cars get stuck in the mud but we never did. Even on our way to the Grumeti airstrip where the roads were more like a suggestion and the car was always a hair's breadth away from spinning out of control, we made it safely and in time. Overall, this was the perfect gateway to safaris for us and we are already planning a return trip.

To anyone traveling with Meru Slopes, you must request Patrick! He was our guide and he was absolutely wonderful! Patrick was the most amazing guide and took us on a great trip seeing the BIG 5 PLUS MORE!! It was a trip we will never forget and we won't forget the people we met along the way. I HIGHLY recommend this company and everyone who works there! THIS IS THE COMPANY to use! Don't get me started on how amazing the food is! It has been a few months and I still think about the food we had!

Wonderful, they curated an enjoyable safari experience for us!
5/5

We enjoyed our first safari experience with Meru Slopes!

Kelvin created a perfect itinerary for us to visit all the national parks in Tanzania and included a cultural village tour with a coffee experience on the last day, because we said we were interested in coffee. He was also very responsive on WhatsApp and answered our queries readily. He also constantly checked in and ensured that our tour ran smoothly and safely for the week.

Our guide Jackson Leyeyo is wonderful. He has a sharp eye and spotted the animas that we wanted to see at the safari. We were able to catch the big five in this trip thanks to him! He always gave us ample time to take pictures of the animals before filling us up on facts about the animal.

Another thing we appreciated during the tour was having hot food during lunch. It was delicious and kept us full for the duration of the game drive.

Unfortunately our jeep broke down on the second last day and we were stranded for a bit in Ngorongoro, and Jackson tried his best to fix the car. The car could not be fixed but Jackson arranged for us to join another group for the final game drive in Ngorongoro. He ensured our safety during the situation and handled the car issue while we were still able to complete the last game drive. After the game drive, Meru Slopes also arranged a private transfer to take us back to Arusha from Ngorongoro. We were very pleased with how Meru Slopes handled the situation.

Overall, we are pleased with Meru Slopes’ tour and service. It made our safari trip a truly memorable experience.

Amazing Travel
5/5

My friend and I had an incredible experience with Meru Slopes Tours & Safaris. A huge thank you to Leonard Mkwavi, our manager, who was always very responsive and organized everything perfectly.
Our driver-guide, Samwel Musangi, was absolutely brilliant. He was always there doing his absolute best for everyone, showing incredible kindness and a wonderful, positive attitude every single day. During the trip, some tensions arose with two other clients in our group (composed of my friend and I, and another couple). However, this was absolutely not the company's fault, and the team managed the situation as best as they could.
Our chef, Dwula, treated us to absolutely delicious meals throughout the entire journey!
We also want to mention Manuel, who drove us multiple times for shorter trips and took us on great excursions to Chemka Hot Springs and the Materuni Waterfalls. He was incredibly kind.
Thank you all for these unforgettable memories. 5 stars well deserved, we highly recommend them!

Superb service and safari delivery!
5/5

We had a wonderful time during our 9 day private mid range Serengeti Safari.
Everything was wonderful. All accomodation was great - clean, comfortable, and with friendly staff who were attentive to our needs.
Food was great - breakfast, lunch and dinner. Only thing was there was too much food for lunch but better that than not enough 🥰. We were never hungry! The accomodation prepared packed lunches that we ate whilst out on Safari- everything so well organised.

The actual Safari was superb! We cannot rave enough about the memories we have formed whilst out on safari with our wonderful guide Max. Max was very knowledgable about the culture and history of Tanzania and about ‘all things safari’. Max drove safely at all times and through his expertise we were able to meet our dreams of seeing lions, leopards, giraffes, elephants, cheetahs, different monkeys, multiple types of antelope and many different birds. We will never forget our experiences and would highly recommend Max and Meru Slopes as the safari tour operator to choose. Our favourite place was the Serengeti where we spent 4 nights/5 days exploring. The days were packed from almost dawn to dusk whilst on the Serengeti. We also splurged on a balloon ride over the Serengeti and this was brilliant! So glad we did this (NYSSA were the balloon operators and Meru Slopes organised this for us).

The quote and booking process was great too! We dealt with Almachius who was easy to deal with and very supportive of our needs. Nothing was a problem, even when we messaged Almachius at 1am in the morning via WhatsApp (Almachius answered at this time!) . Everything was as we had agreed and was reliably delivered!

Overall we had one of the best experiences of our lives and will recommend Meru Slopes to our family and friends!
Thanks Max and Almachius for helping us to create such wonderful experiences and memories!
