Juma is a fantastic operator
Our safari with Meru Slopes Tours & Safaris exceeded all our expectations. Everything was well organized from start to finish, and the communication before the trip was clear and efficient.
Our driver and guide, Juma, was outstanding. He was friendly, professional, knowledgeable, and always made sure we had the best possible wildlife viewing opportunities. Thanks to his experience and dedication, we were lucky enough to see all of the Big Five, along with many other incredible animals. He patiently answered all of our questions and shared interesting information about the wildlife and the parks throughout the trip.
The accommodations, transportation, and overall itinerary were excellent, offering great value for money. We always felt safe and well taken care of.
We highly recommend Meru Slopes Tours & Safaris to anyone looking for a memorable safari in Tanzania. Thank you, Juma and the entire team, for making this such an unforgettable experience!

great
An unforgettable safari experience! I traveled from Australia and spent almost two days getting to the Serengeti, and it exceeded every expectation. Juma was an exceptional guide—professional, patient, and incredibly skilled at finding wildlife. We were fortunate enough to see the Big Five, which was a dream come true. Although some game drives were long, every minute of waiting was rewarded when we finally saw the animals. Watching them roam freely in the wild was powerful and filled us with a deep appreciation for nature and life. Highly recommended!

10/10 Safari Experience
My sister and I recently completed an unforgettable 8-day private wildebeest migration safari in Tanzania with Meru Slopes Tours & Safaris, covering Tarangire National Park, Ngorongoro Crater, Serengeti National Park, and a city tour of Arusha. After returning home and reflecting on our experience, I can honestly say that choosing Meru Slopes was one of the best decisions we made for our trip. From the planning stage to the final day of our journey, everything was well organized, professional, and exceeded our expectations.
When we first started looking for safari companies, we contacted several tour operators. What immediately stood out about Meru Slopes Tours & Safaris was their excellent communication. Our travel consultant, Alamancius, was incredibly patient, responsive, and knowledgeable throughout the planning process. We had several specific requests regarding our itinerary, accommodations, and the pace of our trip. Instead of simply offering a standard package, Alamancius carefully listened to our preferences and customized the itinerary to suit our needs. He answered every question promptly and made us feel confident before we even arrived in Tanzania. His professionalism and willingness to accommodate our requests made the booking process smooth and stress-free.
Our safari itself was beyond anything we had imagined, and a huge part of that was thanks to our guide and driver, Max. We quickly realized that having an experienced guide makes all the difference on an African safari, and Max was exceptional in every way. He was punctual, friendly, patient, and incredibly knowledgeable about Tanzania's wildlife, ecosystems, and culture.
One of the things that impressed us most was Max's remarkable ability to find animals. Throughout the eight days, he made sure we saw an incredible variety of animals. We witnessed countless elephants, lions, cheetahs, leopards, buffalo, giraffes, zebras, wildebeests, hippos, hyenas, crocodiles, warthogs, baboons, monkeys, antelopes, gazelles, and countless species of birds. Every day felt like a new adventure with exciting wildlife encounters around every corner.
The highlight of our trip was undoubtedly witnessing the Great Wildebeest Migration in the Serengeti. Seeing thousands upon thousands of wildebeests stretching across the plains was a breathtaking experience that words simply cannot describe. Watching these incredible animals move together through the vast landscape reminded us how magnificent nature truly is. Max positioned our vehicle perfectly so we could enjoy excellent views while remaining respectful of the animals and other visitors. His experience clearly showed, as he always seemed to know where the wildlife activity would be.
Beyond simply finding animals, Max shared fascinating information about their behaviors, habitats, and interactions. Whenever I asked questions, he answered them patiently and thoroughly. Whether I was asking about lion prides, elephant family structures, bird identification, or the migration itself, he always had interesting explanations to share. His passion for wildlife was contagious and made each game drive educational as well as exciting.
Another aspect we greatly appreciated was how safe and comfortable we felt throughout the journey. The roads inside the national parks can be rough, especially in the Serengeti, but Max drove carefully and confidently the entire time. Even during long drives between parks, he maintained a positive attitude and made the journey enjoyable with conversations about Tanzania, local traditions, conservation efforts, and daily life. By the end of the safari, he felt less like a guide and more like a friend.
Each destination offered something unique. Tarangire National Park amazed us with its enormous elephant herds and iconic baobab trees. Ngorongoro Crater was absolutely stunning, with its breathtaking scenery and incredible concentration of wildlife all within the crater floor. The Serengeti exceeded every expectation we had, with endless golden plains filled with wildlife in every direction. Every day brought something new, and every park had its own special beauty.
After finishing our safari, we also enjoyed exploring Arusha. We were fortunate to have Victor accompany us during our city tour. Victor was incredibly kind, friendly, and welcoming. One of our favorite memories from Arusha was trying authentic local Tanzanian food. Victor took us to places where local people actually eat, allowing us to experience flavors we probably would never have found on our own. The food was absolutely delicious, and it gave us a much deeper appreciation for Tanzanian culture and hospitality. We really appreciated that he wanted us to experience more than just sightseeing.
Throughout the entire trip, everyone we met from Meru Slopes Tours & Safaris treated us with kindness, respect, and genuine hospitality. We never felt like just another booking. Every member of the team seemed to truly care that we had an unforgettable experience. For anyone considering a safari in Tanzania, I wholeheartedly recommend Meru Slopes Tours & Safaris. Whether you are visiting for your first safari or your tenth, they provide outstanding service, knowledgeable guides, and personalized attention that truly sets them apart. If possible, request Max as your safari guide—you will be in excellent hands. And if you have the opportunity to explore Arusha, I highly recommend spending time with Victor, who will help you experience the city beyond the typical tourist attractions.
Our eight days in Tanzania created memories that will last a lifetime. We returned home with thousands of photographs, unforgettable wildlife encounters, and a deep appreciation for Tanzania's incredible landscapes and warm-hearted people. Asante Sana, Meru Slopes team. We cannot wait to return one day, and when we do, we will absolutely choose Meru Slopes Tours & Safaris again.

Couldn’t have been better
We did an 8-day safari with Meru, and the experience was incredible from the very beginning.
When we first started planning the trip, the communication with Jérôme was excellent. He sent us several different quotes, adapted everything to our needs, always replied very quickly, and gave us all the information we asked for. He made the whole planning process incredibly easy.
Once we arrived in Tanzania, everything was perfectly organized. All the accommodation and transfers were excellent, and the whole trip ran smoothly from start to finish.
We especially want to mention our guide, Robert, who truly made this trip unforgettable. He has a huge amount of experience and an incredible knowledge of wildlife and animal behavior. Thanks to him, we were able to see the Great Migration, the Big Five, the Ugly Five, and so many animals incredibly close.
Robert always seemed to know exactly where to take us, when to wait, and what was going to happen next. His knowledge of animals meant that we were always in the right place at the right time, and we were able to experience and see absolutely everything we had hoped for.
On top of being an amazing and highly experienced guide, Robert is also a really friendly, kind, and enjoyable person to spend time with. Sharing these eight days with him made the whole experience even better.
We would 100% recommend Meru. It has been an unforgettable trip, and we honestly couldn’t have asked for a better safari experience.

The guide was extremely knowledgeable and provided warm, attentive service. He often took me to see some very rare species and did everything he could to meet our every need.

Fantastic
We just returned from an eight day safari with Maru slopes. The trip could not have gone better! Leonard did a nice job communicating with us and organizing the trip from afar. Our guide, Douglas, could not have been better in any way. He was outstanding in time and effort, in finding all the animals, in communicating, in driving, in knowledge and in humor. He always set clear expectations and was always punctual. We would recommend Meru Slopes to anyone! If we ever return for another safari, we would insist on Douglass as our guide.
Perfect and the best
An Unforgettable Honeymoon Safari in Tanzania!
What an absolutely fantastic trip and a phenomenal safari tour! As a South Korean, safari trips aren't very common among people around me, so I honestly had a lot of worries and concerns at first. However, from the very moment we started coordinating our itinerary, Meru Slopes proved to be the absolute best and put all my worries to rest.
Jerome handled everything from the initial quote to our entire schedule. He was incredibly professional, polite, and highly responsible. He put together a fantastic program with great lodges at a very reasonable price. Moreover, we had a flight to Zanzibar scheduled after the safari, but there was an unexpected issue with the local airline. Amazingly, Jerome and the team stepped in and resolved the schedule changes for us, even though it wasn't strictly their responsibility! All we had to do was sit back and follow their lead without any worries. Everything was completely stress-free and perfect.
I also want to express a huge thank you to our safari guide, Nuru. He is exceptionally skilled and made us feel so comfortable throughout the entire journey. He didn't just simply point out the animals; he shared fascinating insights about their habits and behaviors. Beyond the wildlife, he also told us so many engaging stories about Tanzanian culture and history. It never felt like he was just "working"—it genuinely felt like he is someone who truly loves his profession, making him the absolute best guide you could ever ask for. Thanks to his expertise, we didn't just spot the Big Five quickly; we got to see them incredibly up close! We were truly lucky to have him. On our last day, we had some extra time before heading to the airport, and he took us to a traditional Maasai market. It wasn't a tourist trap, but a genuine local market, which made it a rare and authentic experience. Thank you for everything, Nuru.
I have absolutely no doubt that Meru Slopes is the best choice for anyone considering a safari. Thank you once again to Jerome, Nuru, and the rest of the Meru Slopes staff. Oh, I almost forgot to mention Edison, who was our guide in Arusha at the very beginning of the trip—thank you, Edison!
Jambo Jambo!!
