Meru Slopes staff goes above and beyond to provide you with the most unforgettable experience!
We had the best experience ever as a family of three with a young adult. Meru slopes went above and beyond on multiple fronts - customer service, safari experience, accommodations, food etc. We found them to be better than competitors on many instances. We had the best views during safaris, home cooked food service instead of boxed lunches, the warmest sleeping bags in tents and water/beverages/beer/wine at our disposal always! Meru Slopes delivers what they promise. Also flexible with my itinerary and offered complimentary modifications. Kelvin is the best customer service manager, Asanta Eli the best driver/tour guide and Gideon is the best chef/server. As an owner, Mr. Geoffrey takes personal interest in how his customers feel which trickles down to everyone else….came over to see us off and welcome us back after the safari. Just can’t recommend Meru Slopes enough!!

Friendly, professional and customer-focused company
Communication with Ibrahim at Luitours was excellent from the time I first enquired about a Southern Tanzania safari through to when he asked me how everything had gone as we were about to head home. He willingly and promptly answered all the queries I raised via email, giving me confidence at each stage that I was dealing with a good company. When my family and I arrived in Dar es Salaam , we were greeted in the arrivals hall and 2 taxis took us to our overnight hotel. The next day Khalifa, our driver/guide, collected us at the agreed time in the Land Cruiser and an unforgettable 10-day adventure began. At all times Khalifa was courteous, friendly and professional. I felt safe with his driving on the long, very busy roads between the National Parks we visited and when we were in Selous, Mikumi and Ruaha themselves. He checked with us what we were particularly keen to see and tried his best to meet those wishes. He also made sure that we always had enough toilet stops for the varying needs of people in our group. The itinerary was exactly as had been set out by Ibrahim months before, with highlights being a wonderful, close-up encounter with a leopard; seeing some lion cubs; and spotting a pack of very healthy-looking wild dogs early one evening as we were heading back to our lodge and already outside the national park. The Rufiji River cruise was beautiful, the night game drive in Ruaha the best of 3 I have been on, and the river walk in Ruaha was wonderful being so close to hippos and crocodiles with the security of armed rangers. Having been to Northern Tanzania previously, the main differences down south are the very long road journeys between parks and the lack of savannah. Of the 3 parks we visited only Mikumi has much open space, so wildlife spotting is not as easy. But on the positive side, there are far fewer safari cars driving around so that when we saw big cats there were typically 2 or 3 other cars around rather than the 20-30 you can get in the Serengeti. Standard of accommodation was good, although Mikumi is a very different experience because of the major cross-country highway running through it. At night you hear the roar of trucks rather than wild animals and songs more likely come from someone's music system rather than birds.

Wonderful service
We booked and had a fantastic experience from start to finish! Got to se me a lot of wildlife and our tour guides were both brilliant and very knowledgeable, only things that could’ve improved the experience was the jeeps seemed a bit more run down than some of the other safaris but it didn’t deflect from our overall experience. Once in a lifetime trip thank you!!

Great trip, it was very special!
Hello,
My name is Idan. My wife and I came to Tanzania with another couple of friends for our honeymoon. To our delight, we had Tonny as our guide and driver for a week of safari.
I would like to share our wonderful experience with the amazing guide and driver – Tonny!
From the very moment he picked us up from the airport, we could tell what a great person he is. His sensitivity, professionalism, kindness, patience, and the pleasant atmosphere he created for us turned our honeymoon into the best experience we could have imagined. He was always ready to answer any question we had, and even waited for our questions so he could explain, elaborate, and share as much information as possible out of his own goodwill.
It was so hard for us to say goodbye to him that even during the rest of our trip in Zanzibar, we found ourselves talking every day about how much we missed him. He is exceptionally friendly and pleasant, making us feel safe and comfortable at every moment. Even when there were technical issues with the vehicle, he gave us complete confidence, assured us that everything was under control, and resolved every problem.
I truly hope that every tourist coming for a safari will have the chance to experience it with Tonny. I am certain that such a trip will be unforgettable. Thank you for giving us the privilege of having him as part of our experience and sweet memories. I wish all safari guides were like Tonny. Please take good care of him – he truly is the best and kindest guide there is. 🫶🏼❤

Amazing! Super easy to deal with 😍
The trip was super amazing!!!! I cannot tell you if I can give more than 5 star I would. They picked us up at the hotel we were staying at and safely sent us back to the same hotel before our next flight. They upgraded our hotel to a luxury hotel option. I cannot express how beautiful and surreal the experience was. Our tour guide Kasimba was soooooo AMAZING he knew where to go to get the best view of the animals, he can be a bit adventurous but trust him to bring you around to the best views. My goodness what a surreal surreal experience. Dealing with the Mara Triangles management was very easy and understanding. I will definitely come back for another trip to Tanzania with my child. I was pregnant when I went to this trip, and it was just smooth sailing & a very unforgettable experience.

Amazing local company - responsive, attention to detail, they really go the extra yard for you!
My latest safari (I’ve done 2 others prior) with Off the Beaten Path Safaris was simply incredible exploring the chimpanzees in Gombe Stream and other parts of the less traveled western circuit. This company has taken me all over Tanzania - from the usual northern circuit with Serengeti / Ngorongoro / Tarangire to Zanzibar to Lake Natron as well as the Southern circuit (Rush’s) and now the western circuit (Kitavi and Gombe Stream). There is nothing this team cannot do well. Their guides are exceptional. Their customer service impeccable. They listen to your needs and adjust on the fly to make sure the trip exceeds expectations. As a wildlife photographer they know what I want to see and how my needs differ from a family. Over the years I have learned to value how important it is to have a company that listens to your needs and has connections on the ground in the places that you visit. Salim, the owner, has endless connections and manages to get done the impossible. I would visit again and again and I would only trust this amazing team of Tanzanian travel experts to take care of me!

magical Experience!
My day at Crescent Island Sanctuary with Kenya Bush Expeditions was nothing short of magical. The boat ride across Lake Naivasha was peaceful, with hippos bobbing in the water and countless birds overhead. Walking among giraffes, zebras, and wildebeest on the island—without fences—felt like stepping into a nature documentary. Our guide was friendly, knowledgeable, and made sure we didn’t miss a thing. A perfect blend of adventure and serenity in the heart of Kenya.

Very well organized!
We had a great tour to Nyerere Nationalpark with Skye (driver and guide) and Bruno (chef), who were both doing an excellent job! The communication with Lenard before the tour was also very easy and friendly. Unlike other experiences we had in Tanzania, everything was very well organized, happened according to plan and on time. The Nyerere Nationalpark is more quiet then f.e. Serengeti or Ngorongoro, therefore we could often see animals close and without any other cars around, which was a great experience. Overall, the tour was well worth the money and we would absolutely recommend taking a trip to Nyerere with Going Green Safari.
