We will come back to find Leopard and repeat with Meru Slopes!
We had an amazing safari experience with Meru Slopes! The planning and organization were excellent from start to finish. Our driver, Omary, was super cool—knowledgeable, fun, and always making sure we had the best chance to spot wildlife. Thanks to him, we saw almost the entire Big Five in Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, and Lake Manyara.
The accommodations were comfortable and well chosen, the food was delicious, and the service throughout was simply great. Everything ran smoothly, and we always felt well taken care of.
If you’re looking for a tour operator in Tanzania that combines great planning, professional service, and a personal touch, I can highly recommend Meru Slopes. They truly made our trip unforgettable!

Experienced and kind
We booked with Meru Slopes only a couple weeks before arriving. We planned and communicated via WhatsApp, which made it very easy and I was able to ask all my questions. I travelled alone with my 3 kids, so it was important to me to know I was taken care of and able to have a one to one contact.
We wanted the budget experience, not just for economic reasons, but also because we wanted to sleep in tents. Sleeping in a tent, hearing the lions roar and being greeted by a zebra in front of your tent was truly magical.
We were so lucky to receive Stanley as our guide. He accompanied us the whole time, alongside our chef Johanni, who prepared fresh food for us 3 times a day! Both of them were so friendly and I can only highly recommend them!
Stanley has the eyes of an eagle and spots animals long before you will. He knows the area so well and I often observed other guides asking for his advice. His experience and calm will help making your safari unforgettable.

Unforgettable Safari Experience in Tanzania
I’ve just returned from an incredible journey in Tanzania, and it has truly been a once-in-a-lifetime experience. We went on safari in Ngorongoro, Serengeti, and Tarangire, where we witnessed breathtaking landscapes and countless wild animals that left us in awe.
A very special thanks goes to our guide Rashid, who was simply outstanding: extremely knowledgeable about the parks and the wildlife, always ready to answer every question with patience and detail. With his “eagle eye,” he was able to spot animals from far away and make sure we didn’t miss a single moment. His cheerful personality and positive energy brightened every day and made the whole trip even more enjoyable.
I also want to thank Samueli and Lobulu, who were equally professional, kind, and always available to share stories, explanations, and interesting insights.
These were truly wonderful days, filled with emotions and unique experiences that we will treasure forever. I wholeheartedly recommend this safari to anyone who wants to live an authentic, exciting, and unforgettable adventure in Tanzania.

One in a lifetime experience, perfect orchestration
As a couple, we made a private 4 day mid range safari tour with one day coffee and waterfall excursion.
First of all, our pre-safari communication with Shadrack, the manager, was smooth and reactive. He sincerely wishes to make sure your experience is one of a lifetime’s. He met us in person before and after our safari tour to brief before and gather our thoughts and recommendations after.
Secondly, all of our guides were knowledgeable, adaptive, funny and helpful. Special thanks to our guide Fred who was a very good driver, excellent guide (both knowledgeable about the type and description of animals, places to look for them and safety concerns related).
Our accommodation was generally good : both with “glamping” in Serengeti (heritage camp) and Ngorongogo (Ngorongoro Wild Camp) and more European style hotel in Arusha (Arusha planet lodge) and nearby Tarangire National Park (Eileen’s trees inn). All of the hotels personnel were very helpful, friendly and kind. Breakfast and dinner in our accommodation was mostly varied and with some vegetarian options (a little less options in Serengeti heritage camp and ngorongoro but understandable because of the distance from the bigger cities). However, even though we shared in advance that we both were vegetarian, on a few occasion our choice was quite limited with rice and a few raw salad. On a brighter side, we had “unlimited” beer and wine as well as coffee (in powder), water and tea available for us in the van.
We celebrated our first lion sighting with a glass of wine which was memorable.
All in all, we wish we had booked one or two days more than we did because we felt it was not that tiring and enjoyed our time. Thank you again for this lifetime experience. We certainly recommend Meru Slopes tours and safaris. You will not be disappointed! Don’t look any further.

Meru Slopes cares about their clients. 5 Stars
From the moment we first inquired about a safari with Meru Slopes, our representative Almachius was on the ball. I was apprehensive when first making contact as I received an immediate response (i was hoping this was not a bot) but he quickly earned our families trust with his timely response to our questions and his flexibility in arranging a personalized tour based on our requirements. Our experience with Meru Slopes could not have been better. The accommodation that they arranged for us during our safari exceeded expectations and we had the most wonderful and knowledgable guides throughout our trip (shout out to Juma, Kennedy and Nickson). The service and check in's we received from Almachius during our trip made us feel really well taken care of. We will definitely be returning and would not hesitate to book through Meru Slopes again. Thank you for making our safari the most wonderful experience.

Very professional and very knowledgeable guide and excellent service
We would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to your company for arranging our guide, Andrew, during our trip to Tanzania. Throughout the journey, he was not only thoughtful, warm, and attentive, but also very knowledgeable. Whenever we encountered any issues, he always handled and solved them promptly, which made us feel completely at ease.
What impressed us most was Andrew’s exceptional thoughtfulness and attention to detail. Every day he carefully prepared our lunch boxes, adding fresh vegetables such as salad, cucumbers, and tomatoes, just to meet our personal preferences and special needs. This kind of care made us feel truly valued.
In addition, he always managed to find the best spots to witness the great migration, as well as other wildlife moments. While observing animals, Andrew demonstrated an incredible sensitivity—he could quickly detect their movements and bring us to the perfect angle to appreciate and photograph them. His deep knowledge of the animals—their habits, behavior, and the times and places where they were most likely to appear—left a lasting impression on us.
Thanks to Andrew’s professional guidance, our experience went far beyond our expectations. We were able to witness the magnificent wildebeest migration as well as the wildlife we had always dreamed of seeing, including cheetahs, leopards, and lions, elephants, giraffes and zebras. Because of his great efforts, we were so lucky enough to encounter all the animals we had hoped to see.
We are truly impressed by Andrew’s professionalism, dedication, and thoughtfulness, and we also deeply appreciate the careful arrangements made by Meru Slopes. This journey was not only smooth and enjoyable but also far exceeded our expectations.
Once again, thank you very much! We sincerely hope that one day we can return to Tanzania and meet Andrew again.

Unforgettable Safari Experience
We booked our safari almost a year in advance. As it was our first time to Tanzania, we really needed expert advice on the right timing to catch the wildebeest migration & customization of itinerary. Jerome understood what we were looking for & was responsive & patient from the booking process right through to the end of our trip.
Our guide, Ezekiel was knowledgeable & attentive, often checking in on our preferences. He went above & beyond to ensure that our safari experience was unforgettable. We cannot control what nature offers & we were extremely lucky to have caught the largest wildebeest river crossing in years. However, it was also thanks to Ezekiel who stayed connected to other guides & responded quickly to nab us a good spot to witness the wondrous sight.
His deep respect for nature & wildlife showed in the way he approached every sighting. On the road, his skillful & careful driving through rough conditions ensured our safety. What impressed us most was the pride he takes in his work and in his country—something that made the entire experience even more meaningful.
We would highly recommmend booking your safari experience with Meru Slopes. However, a piece of advice for future travelers would be to take time to consider the type of accommodation that best suits your comfort level. While some may love the authentic safari experience of tented camps, others may find them too basic.
Thanks to Jerome & Ezekiel, we left with incredible memories & a deeper appreciation of the wildlife in Tanzania.

Incroyable
We had an excellent safari. We were able to visit the Serengeti (central and northern parts), which allowed us to witness the migration. The Ngorongoro Crater is also magnificent.
A big thank you to Jerome for the organization and support during the months leading up to the safari – he was always available whenever I had questions.
A big thank you as well to Stanley, our driver, who taught us so much about the savannah ecosystem and made this experience so enjoyable.
I highly recommend Meruslopes for organizing your safari.
