Totally recommend
4/5

It's funny because I got a last minute booking and having a bad experience with Tanzania in the previous days (total rip offs), I was not very confident in the arrangement. However, them and the staff were absolutely amazing. Not only did they fulfill all their obligations at a great rate, but included some other benefits by comparison to other operators. Guide, Johnson, extremely educated and a great company.

I would recommend to anybody interested in a safari experience

5 unforgettable days in safari with Meru Slopes Tours, Serengeti, Ngorongoro, lake Manyar, Tarangire
4/5

Five unforgettable days in safari with Meru Slopes Tours & Safaris, include Serengeti, Ngorongoro, lake Manyara, Tarangire!
At first I could not believe that I get transfer from the airport to the hotel and back, plus overnight at the hotel before and after the safari. But despite the concerns I saw good recommendations, and booked with Geofer Nassari by email after short correspondence. Everything was well organized and I got a good treatment and support from a staff. They answering me for all my questions and solve very fast each issue. In safari I didn't feel the difference between other groups that paid more without hotel before and after and without transfers from and to airport. The only thing I would improve it visit Tarangire and lake Manyara on the same day and not two separate days. This is because they are very close to Arusha and much smaller then Serengeti so half day per each it's enough.
Thanks again to all the staff of Meru Slopes Tours & Safaris and especially to Geofrey Nassari, for five unforgettable days in safari!

Professional and budget tour with good care till the end
4/5

We´re five friends looking for a budget tour to Serengeti y Gorongoro and we lived a very good experience thanks tu Meru Slopes Safari. They picked up in the airport, and from then they take care of everything. The lodging, the food, the safari, any wish you have the guide (Hillary) tried to get it. We were 5 days safari (plus first night in Arusha and last night in Moshi) and we enjoied a lot. We found a good climax in the camps with the rest of the groups at the end of every journey , and the facilities were good, taking into account we were in a budget trip. The only complain about our trip It´s the bad conditions of the public campsite in Serengeti about all the toilets althogh this is a bussiness of the tanzanian goberment. Also I recommended to include in the safari a day in the lake Natrom area, a friends of me did it and They got a closest sensantion of the massai people and land, even they made a morning walk to the flamingo lake.

4 day safari Meru slopes
4/5

4 day safari to ngorongoro crater and serengeti. Overnight before and after in Aruba tourist inn. This is a budget trip but worth it for the friendly and efficient service. It is tent and toilet camping so not for people who like the finer things in life but well worth he money and the hotel before and after is good

Cheap safari for a veruy good quality
4/5

Safari always means spending a lot of money. However, when going to Tanzania, you cannot miss the occasion to to on a safari tour. I was surprised to see that you still could get 5 days safari for a decent price (875$/pers). I was afraid of the quality of the safari for this price but I was surprised in a good way. The price determines more the lodgement and maybe the food a bit; but that is all. If you do not mind sleeping in a Quechua tent (everything was foreseen: mattress, sleeping bag, cushion, etc.) and that you are not looking for a 5 stars meal neither (still, the food was good!), then definitely go for this tour with Meru Slope. We have seen everything (except a rhino, but that is the nature's rule; you are never sure you will see all animals) and our guide, Steven, was great! He knew all the good places and he was patient; he is working for 15 years I think, but still he is passionate (more than some other guides who stopped only 30 sec or even did not stop at all when passing by interesting animals or great landscapes). He also gave us plenty of explanations.
The only negative point was the fact the organization did not tell us in advance we needed to bring cash to pay the remaining amount (same for other people in our group), which led to quite some discussions. So do not forget to bring all the money with you because they do not take cards (unless you do not mind being charges for getting 5 times money at the ATM...because you can only withdraw like 140$ equivalent) This is the only reason why I do not give 5/5.
Thanks again for this great safari, especially to Steven, this was an amazing experience I will never forget! I would not change anything!

Good!
4/5

Good! I did a 4-day camping safari. Just be aware that if you go solo you might have to share a tent.

Exhilarating and adventurous safari with great lodges in the middle of the wilderness.
4/5

Our guide, David, was the most friendly guide we have ever had in any of our trips. He really got along well with the family and was able to provide us with information and his experiences on every stage of the trip. With his help, we were able to see the infamous Big 5 and many more animals. The lodges were spectacular and well located. The only drawback was the initial hotel stay at Arusha Inn which leaves a poor impression and at times, the sub-par safari car which needed servicing often.

meru slopes is reliable and offers fair prices.
4/5

The communication was verry good. Via whatsapp you'll get immediately a respons from geoffrey, this works good. In overal I had a good safari, we've seen a lot of animals en the food was great. The only negative thing was the guide. He was not very interactive with us and he didn't give any information about the animals we saw. It was more like: "look there a lion!" . And in the end We had to pay to much for the tips. The guid told us to give him 40 dollar and the cook also 40 dollar. That was 80 dollar tips for a couple. But Overal I had a great tour and meru slopes arranged it really good,.

Great 5-days Safari!
4/5

We went on a 5-days group safari across Manyara, Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro and per-se it was already an amazing experience. As low-budget travellers, we found Meru Slopes was the best deal in terms of value for money. The communication with Geofrey before our arrival was smooth and everything was perfect by the time we arrived. We very much appreciated that airport pick up and the two nights before and after the safari were included in the tour fees. It definitely made our life easier! The tour guide, food and time management were excellent considering what we paid. During the five days we also had an inconvenience so we lost half a day and Omani (our driver and guide) made us start earlier the next day so to not loose anything from our experience. We definitely recommend it to anyone who is open for camping and has a low budget but don't want to give it up with the stunning parks Tanzania has to offer!
