He was funny and always knew the best Spots.
4/5

The Safari with Meruslope was a great experience. We had a good driver who was also funny and knew many things about the parks. The food was tasty. The only thing to improve are some washrooms in the bush camps.
Overall it was one of the best things we ever did and I would recommend it to anyone who is considering it.

Awesome trip!
4/5

We had an amazing time with Meru Slopes! Our tour guide Andrew knew everything about the animals and plants we saw on safari and took the patience to answer all of our questions. The communication with Almachius went easy and was very friendly as well! Bewaren that in the tour information it says binoculars are included. But only our guide has his own personal binocular with him, not company property. He shared it with us. Another improvement could have been our first night at The Tourist Inn. Our room wasn't clean, towels smelled and had stains on them and you could hear street noise outside. Sleep was hard to come by, but ofcourse greatly needed when going on a safari sleeping in the wilderness in the nights to come. The last night we had the same hotel booked. We didn't want the same experience as before so we switched hotels for our last night. If you go low budget ofcourse you will have some low quality accomodations, but for us having a good nights rest and a clean shower/towels was non-negotiable. Overall we would definitely recommend Meru Slopes! We had such a good time, saw the big 5 and felt we were in good hands. Asante Sana!

The safari was a success. The program was adhered to. We were very satisfied
4/5

Wildebeast 8Days Camping Safari: Our guide Daniel did his job to our satisfaction. We saw a lot and his explanations were always detailed. We also had a good cook in Johannes, who prepared good, clean food for us. If you are looking for a good price-performance ratio with beautiful animal sightings, you cannot avoid Meruslopes.

Amazing tour and nice staff. The chef cooked different food every time. Great experience
4/5

They change the order of the parks (due to people who took only 3 days safari), that is not so negative thing but tarangire after ngorongoro and serengeti is not surprising. However, The tour is amazing and the place wonderful. We had problem with the jeep but they solve it in a short time.
I m Italian and about food I don't know what to say, It was normal, even pasta was good. I can suggest Eric as chef. Benson is also a nice person and guide.

Pretty good guide but better cook needed
4/5

Everything was ok but the meals. I'm a vegetarian and I've been a bit disappointed with the dishes served.

A little complicated
4/5

There was a misalignment on my expectations (wanted to see the Great Migration) versus what the safari package finally delivered (normal safari not focused on the Great Migration), I had chosen the package I did because it was supposed to focus on the Great Migration.

I have to admit that despite the misalignment of expectations I saw a lot and I have done a couple of safaris before in other countries.

Meru Slopes is a very good safari provider, just make sure you discuss the details before deciding on a package.

P.D. They offered a quick and good service recovery (discount on a future tour) once they realized that I was not entirely happy with the service they delivered.

Good safari for a reasonable price: 5 day budget camping Safari for +- €800
4/5

Communication via mail and whats app. This went very well though its maybe a good idea to use an online paying program in stead of just making a deposit.
Safari itself was well organised. We were picked up from a hotel and brought to the hotel of Meru slopes in Arusha. This hotel was basic but clean.
Next morning we left at 6 am and drove to the first camping site in Serengeti. We did not do safari the first day and that was a disapointing because we thought we would see already animals. Camping site in Serengeti was beautiful but toilets en showers were dirty.
Camping site in Ngorongoro was nog nice. A lot of people, very dirty toilets and showers, very cold at night.
The food during the safari was very good.
We saw the big 5 and the great migration so that is of course the most important and a big succes.
Our guide and chef were very friendly.
The safari car was a bit to old and not so comfortable..
Overall we enjoyed it very much. A very reliable company!

Wonderful safari and service for a great price!
4/5

I had a wonderful experience with Meru Slopes. Everyone was incredibly responsive, service was great and exactly as described, and it was amazing value for the price. The safari was absolutely amazing, and all of the guides, drivers, and hotel staff were knowledgeable and helpful. I would highly recommend them!

Very good value for money
4/5

Did the 4 nights / 5 days Manyara / Serengeti / Ngorogoro Crater trip. Excellent value for money including the 2 nights stay in the hotel before and after. Very helpful in assisting in buying bus tickets when we arrived for our departure. Would recommend as very good budget safari. Thank you very much Geoffrey and guys. Happy customers! :-)

Incredible experience and yet good value for money.
4/5

This was among my favourite experiences in my life. We saw the big 5 and our own shortlist of nice 5.
Manyara was changed to Tarangire due to seasonal animal migration. We were not disappointed.
Two nights in a 2star hotel were included the night before and after the three day camping. The food is budget, as expected while the driver's professionality and dedication cannot be understated, especially he really knew his car which felt safe due A good camera is a must but don't underestimate the value of a really good binocular. Once you get tired of taking pictures it's great being able to spot actions and rare species from a far. Also bring extra snacks. The trips can be very long. 10-12 hours in the jeeps are standard every day. Some parts are dusty and a mouth balaclava was helpful for our co-travellers. My feedback for the driver is to be clearer with time and schedule. My feedback for the chef is to skip the desert dry carrot sandwiched... and maybe also the bony chickens.
