I couldn’t be happier that we chose Meru Slopes Tours and Safaris Limited for our Tanzania Safari. Rarely these days does anyone meet your expectations, must less exceed them. But that’s exactly what we got with Meru Slopes.

I started working with Shadrack back in February. We went back and forth because I had a lot of questions and wants. And an average budget. Not once did he ever make me feel like I was a bother. Not once did I NOT get a response in a timely manner, which made me wonder if he ever slept. His customer service was so next level, I actually thought that he was the owner. I did not get any of that from any other Company I reached out too.

We ended up booking a 9 day private mid-range Tour because of the affordability. We visited Lake Manyara, The Central Serengeti National Park, Ngorongoro Highlands and Crater and Tarangire National Park. Mude was our guide and he was fantastic. He was an exceptional driver, extremely accommodating to our
Read more needs, kept our Land Rover clean, made sure we had hot lunches everyday and had a mission to make sure we saw the top 5 and every other species of animals available. And we did, he was such a good spotter. I can’t quit raving about him, Shadrack and everyone else at this Company. Tells me everything I need to know about the owner, who by the way, is a local. And we like to support the locals.

Every place we stayed was different, unique, beautiful and comfortable. The food was amazing, and so good at two of the places, we asked for the chef to thank him personally. We were just there in April from the 21st to the 29th(2026). It was shoulder season so there weren’t many other people. In two of the places we stayed, we were the only ones there. You would think the service wouldn’t be as good, but on the contrary. We got so much attention.

It was towards the end of rainy season, but luckily, there was very little. And it came at times that never affected our safari’s. Every single day we saw so many animals. Herd after Herd of Wildebeest, Elephants, Zebra, so many different types of Antelopes, Lions, Cheetahs, Hippos, Rhinos, the list goes on. Until what they call the Great Migration when some animals head to Kenya, from September to July, they are all in The Serengeti in Tanzania. And migrating daily to different areas in the park. Spring is when the babies are born, and every herd had a lot. Every day was something new and exciting, too many highlights to list them all, but one of our favorites; Finding about 4 mama lions and lots of babies eating a wildebeest they had killed the night before. We were the first ones there and stayed for at least an hour. At some point, a couple of other jeeps turned up, but in season, you could experience over 50. No thanks.

The one thing I would change about our itinerary; I would not include Tarangire, the last National Park we visited. And I would spend two nights at the places where we only stayed one night. And I would probably add in a few other places in Tanzania. Instead, we headed to Kenya for a 5 day Safari thinking we would see something different. After Tanzania, and such a perfect Safari on every level. Kenya was a huge disappointment. Especially the roads, they were horrendous. Tanzania truly was a dream of a lifetime. And it didn’t break the bank. Shadrack, Mude, Joseph, Edmond and every other single person we met in Tanzania was genuinely friendly, sincere, and just good people. Our accommodation was unique and beautiful. The Food fantastic. The service exceptional.

Myself and a friend visited for approximately 8 days this May. We had a wonderful time and our guide Iddi was pleasant and informative throughout the trip. We saw many animals and experienced multiple parks. The transfers were seamless and we very much enjoyed our time there.

Some experiences that are memorialized in pictures but Tanzania, it is memorialized in your heart.

Tanzania has been on our bucket list for years. It was not until my wife had a cancer scare that we made it a priority. The sheer beauty of the country, the animals and the people are humbling. The landscape is large, colorful and nothing like you will see anywhere else. But at sunrise and sunset is when you are overwhelmed by the sheer beauty. Artificial Intelligence may be able to do a laundry list of things, but it will never replace the majestic beauty of an elephant standing on the Serengeti, a lion slumbering in a tree or giraffe walking behind your vehicle while crossing the road. All of this and more is what we saw during our stay in Tanzania. But the strength of Tanzania is in their people. You arrive in Africa with a preconceived opinion of the people living in poverty, struggling to survive. What you find is probably the most positive people you will ever meet. The are helpful, polite, colorful and full of life. They make no apologies or excuses for their life and for this they

forget the cities, and ebrace rhe beauty and animal -life of the SERENGETI and NGORONGORO crater!

It will be your absolute Best Ever trip in your Life time! The acommodations in Arusha, Lake Maynara, Lithia, The Serengeti, and Ngorongoro are equivalent to European Accomodations of 4--5 Star. Service and care by staff is equally Phenomenal. You will Not be disappointed! Of course my Private Guide was Fantastic, professional, and always listening to my requests. The roads, which are a governmental issue, could use repair--but we all know about government issues, right?
Animals..Wonderous! Lions, lioness lounging up in the trees! Prides, just hanging out, or cruising through the brush. Elephants with their huge beautiful tusks, and sweet little curious babies nuzzling mom. And Zebras ...hundreds Everywhere! and their darling long legged offspring. Saw a LOT of gazelles racing around, and many varieties of antelope. A crocodile or two hanging out , sunning themselves. A huge variety of birds : storks, Cranes, Vultures... And then there were the lethal Hyenas feasting on baby
Read more wildabeast, or hanging out in dirt Crater. They are well known for stealing kills from the Cheetah. And seeing a Cheetah mom with her two Teenagers in tow-- that was amazing.
Weather was great, nearing end of rainy season, a few short showers, that wouldn't interfere in my day. Maybe average of low 70s F. The staff were amazing-- we had lots of hugs!

Our Mikumi-Safari was very well organized by Mansoor Mohamed.
We went by train from Dar es Salaam to the Bastian Camp, which was very nice with a big pool. The staff was very friendly. We have been there in March during the low and rain season, but it was okay, only one shower at this time.
Our driver Junus was an excellent guide. We saw a lot of animals. It was very interesting. Also our visit to the Massai.

I can not recommend this safari enough, it was the most incredible experience ever!! Me and 4 of my friends did a three day safari in Lake Manyara, the Ngorongoro Crater, and the Tarangire National Park and it was amazing. Our driver was incredible and was super knowledgeable, he taught us so much. This company is awesome, we got to customize our own trip and they arranged everything we wanted to do exactly how we wanted (what days we wanted to go where and times). The accommodation is amazing as well it’s in a quiet area, but only a few minute walk away was lots of market shops which was awesome. Another thing is the FOOD! The food on the safari was probably the best food I had my entire trip being in Tanzania, and I was there for over a month. The chef is incredible, and you get lunch during the safari as well. This was our first safari and i felt so fulfilled by the end, we saw so many animals, and even saw the big 5! Our driver, Ally, went out of his way to make our time amazing,
Read more even going off road to get us better views of the animals, while still keeping enough distance to not disrupt them. This safari was WAY better than I had expected and I would do it again 1000%. We also had a photographer on the first day, Omary, who was awesome and gave us all the pictures afterwards free of charge. Thank you so much for such an incredible experience, we will remember it forever.

An unforgettable experience! My safari in Tanzania was truly the trip of a lifetime. From the moment we arrived, the vast landscapes of the Serengeti and the breathtaking views of the Ngorongoro Crater left us speechless.
We were lucky enough to see the Big Five within the first few days, thanks to our incredible guide whose knowledge of the wildlife and terrain was unmatched. Watching a lion pride at sunrise and witnessing the Great Migration were moments I will never forget.
The hospitality was also top-notch; the tented camps offered the perfect balance of adventure and comfort, with delicious food and stunning views of the savannah. If you’re looking for a destination that combines raw nature with professional service, Tanzania is the place to go.
Highly recommended!
