thank you Juma and Dullah
What an incredible experience! It is something I will never forget.
A huge thank you to Juma and Dullah for these unforgettable five days.
Juma is, without a doubt, the best guide we have ever had—and we have traveled extensively. He is incredibly knowledgeable and goes above and beyond to make sure you have the best possible experience. Thanks to him, we enjoyed exclusive wildlife encounters because he took us to places where other safari vehicles simply didn’t go. He knows hidden spots that many other guides don’t, which allowed us to find ourselves completely alone, surrounded by lions—an unforgettable moment.
This has been the most incredible trip of my life, and Juma deserves a huge part of the credit. He was always ready to help, made us feel completely at ease, and truly made us feel at home.
As for Dullah, he is an absolute culinary genius. Throughout the trip, he prepared fresh, delicious, and varied meals every single day. He adapted every menu to our tastes and preferences, creating dishes tailored just for us. He accompanied us throughout the journey, cooking in every location, and treated us to amazing breakfasts, lunches, and dinners.
Together, Juma and Dullah are the perfect team. They have the rare ability to turn a safari into a dream come true. I could never thank them enough for everything they did and for the unforgettable memories they gave us.
If you book a safari with Meru Slopes—which is an exceptional company with flawless organization—trust me: do everything you can to have Juma and Dullah as your guide and chef. Your experience will be unlike anyone else’s.
Thank you both from the bottom of our hearts, and thank you to Meru Slopes for making this extraordinary journey possible.

Welcoming, helpful, all-round amazing
An absolutely wonderful safari experience! Leonard, our tour organiser, was very helpful in organising the tour and answering any logistical questions we had once we were there. Our tour guides, Samweli and Jackson, were incredibly welcoming and very knowledgable about all the parks and animals, including all the best spots to see all the animals. Buga, the chef for the trip, made us amazing meals which kept us well fed and satisfied. A highly highly recommended trip!

Very well organised and always willing to go the extra mile.
Great communication before meeting our guides. All accommodation exactly as expected and fairly priced. Guides were very knowledgeable and willing to go the extra mile for you/your friends. The company chef was excellent too and really enhanced our experience of the weeks safari. Highly recommend if you’re looking for something in this price range

Once-in-a-Lifetime Tanzania Safari Experience with family, Almachius, Max, and Victor
We wholeheartedly recommend Meru Slopes Tours & Safaris to anyone planning a safari in Tanzania. Special thanks to Almachius, Max, and Victor for creating memories that will last a lifetime. We hope to return to Tanzania one day!! My sister and I recently completed an unforgettable 8-day private wildebeest migration safari in Tanzania with Meru Slopes Tours & Safaris. Our itinerary included Tarangire National Park, Ngorongoro Crater, Serengeti National Park, and a city tour of Arusha.
Our travel consultant, Almachius, was patient, responsive, and knowledgeable. He carefully listened to our preferences and customized the itinerary, accommodations, and pace of the trip to meet our needs.
Our guide and driver, Max, made the safari truly exceptional. He was friendly, punctual, patient, and incredibly knowledgeable about Tanzania’s wildlife, ecosystems, and culture. During our trip, we saw big fives ugly fives, hippos, hyenas, cheetahs, elephants, lions, leopards, buffalo, giraffes, zebras, wildebeests, crocodiles, and many other animals. Max always positioned the vehicle carefully so we could enjoy excellent views while respecting the wildlife and other visitors. He also shared fascinating information about animal behavior and patiently answered all our questions. We felt safe and comfortable throughout the journey. Even on rough park roads and long drives, Max drove carefully and kept a positive attitude. By the end of the safari, he felt more like a friend than simply our guide.
We also enjoyed a wonderful city tour of Arusha with Victor. He was kind, welcoming, and took us to try delicious authentic Tanzanian food at local restaurants. This gave us an opportunity to experience the city and culture beyond the usual tourist attractions. Asante sana!

Wonderful
I highly recommend Meru Slopes Tours! We had an incredible experience from start to finish and were lucky enough to see the Big Five! Everything was perfectly handled.
A huge thank you to the entire team: Jerome made the booking process so smooth, and chef Joanna kept us well-fed with delicious meals. A very special shoutout to our guide, Joel—he was phenomenal! Friendly, welcoming, and exceptionally knowledgeable and well-prepared. Thank you all for an unforgettable adventure!

I cannot imagine a better Safari experience, more professional and at the Same time personal service
I cannot recommend Meru Tours highly enough! We had the most incredible experience on our private safari through Tarangire, Ngorongoro, Serengeti and Manyara National Parks. Each day we thought it couldn't get better but new encounters with the big 5 and many other animals just kept coming and we will cherish the memories for a lifetime. If you are looking for a safari that really offers you the most amazing up-close wildlife and cultural experiences as well as great personal service, this safari from Meru Tours is perfect. Everything about this safari was fantastic from the booking process with Kelvin Bonath from Meru Tours, the wonderful driver and guide Jackson, and the talented chef Rashid. Kelvin always replied quickly and was flexible in planning our safari. Jackson is full of knowledge about the wildlife and culture, he's patient and always in a good mood and always makes sure we are having the best experience. Of course with nature there's an element of luck so he can't guarantee you'll See every animals - but with his experience you have the best chance and we saw the big five and so many more as well as the Great Migration so do ask for Jackson as a guide when booking! Also ask for Rashid as your Chef as he's a wonderful cook and the two of them are a wonderful team.
Meru Slopes is a very professional local Tanzanian company and we found it was excellent value for money. We will definitely book with them again if we come back (which we hope will be soon).

INCREDIBLE SAFARI
Truly an incredible experience! The sunrises and sunsets in the savannah are second to none. We were lucky enough to see not only the Big Five, but so many other animals as well.
For this amazing experience, we definitely have to thank our driver, Joel—his skill, expertise, and perfect timing in choosing the right moments and spots allowed us to admire all the animals as closely as possible, while always keeping us safe. All of this was paired with contagious warmth and charisma.
Equally fantastic was our cook, Joanna, who kept us well-fed for four days, making sure we never lacked a thing, smiles included. At every moment, they make you feel part of their world—a real boost of good vibes!
That being said, I will certainly recommend this experience.

An Unforgettable 10-Day Private Safari Experience
Me and my friend did a 10-day private tour. We had an amazing experience from start to finish. The Chinese customer service team was incredibly patient while helping us customize and finalize our itinerary and hotels. We did 2 nights in Moshi, 1 night in Arusha, 1 night in Ngorongoro, 2 nights in central Serengeti, 2 nights in northern Serengeti, and 2 more nights in Arusha for city tour.
After we arrived we met with the local team, as well. The best part was their communication. A big shoutout to the manager Almachius, who was sincere, professional, and genuinely cared about making sure we had a great trip. We could always reach him on WhatsApp, and he responded quickly whenever we needed help. There were a few small issues we encountered and gave feedback on and they were handled quickly and fairly. Also, I left my sunglasses at a lodge, and they coordinated with the hotels to get them back to me efficiently!!!
Our safari guide, Max, was fantastic. He was knowledgeable, punctual, and always respected park rules and wildlife instead of chasing risky photo opportunities. Thanks to his experience and communication with other guides, we were the first vehicle to witness a wildebeest river crossing, and we saw every animal on our wish list. He also shared fascinating facts about wildlife and local culture throughout the trip and offered genuine communications.
Edson and Victor were wonderful drivers and local guides—friendly, safe, and fun to be around. They introduced us to local experiences, made every drive enjoyable (Victor even rapped for us!), never rushed us or pressured us into activities or tips, and Victor even helped me find an extra suitcase after I bought too many souvenirs.
Overall, this team truly goes above and beyond. Their professionalism, flexibility, and genuine hospitality made this a trip we’ll never forget. Highly recommended!
