Amazing Safari 🤩 - Amazing 5-day Safari with Meru Slopes, I didn't expect so much. Perfectly organised, delicious meals prepared by our chef Joana. Despite the rainy season, we were lucky with the weather and our guide Florian was excellent. We were able to see lots of animals, and take as much time as we wanted to observe them. As I was travelling alone, I joined a group, which made the experience all the better. The price is clearly worth it!

Wonderful experience! - Our experience with Meru Slopes was wonderful. They took care very well of us, and our guide Patrick was great! He was smiley and very hakuna matata. He never stopped looking for new animals to show us and take pictures to. You can tell he really loves nature. Many thanks to Meru Slopes for organizing such a lovely experience 🦓🦒🦁

An unforgettable experience - I had a 5 days safari tour in February 2024, Tarangire, 3 days in Serengeti and last day in Ngorongoro crater. It was one of the best tour I have ever experienced, Meru Slopes was perfectly organised, very easy to comunicate with them for the organisation and everything, during the tour the guide was very confident and ready to help with everything. We had an unforeseen in the Ngorongoro but they were very good to reorganise my trip. I really recommend them for an unforgettable safari experience

Luxury experience ever - Once you get in, you will never need to get out, for sure. We enjoyed a lot and took a lot of interesting pictures You have to come see for yourself.

Amazing Safari - The best experience for a safari! Easy communication before and after the trip. Good organisation and such an amazing team.

Highly recommend! - We had an absolutely incredible 5 days on safari through Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro areas. Mudy was our driver and we got to see some amazing wildlife and very scenic areas. I think we saw every type of wildlife we had wanted. Really appreciate Meru Slopes for planning and operating our safari. Would highly recommend.

Perfect experience, incredible adventure, ideal first safari experience - The 5 days trip in Serengeti, Ngorongoro crater and Tarangire was breathtaking. This was mostly thanks to the skilled driving of Jacobo and the amazing local food prepared by Salimu. We managed to see from up close many animals, way more than we expected including cheetahs, lions, buffalos, elephants and their respective cubs. We were told we were lucky to encounter some of them, even more multiple times. My take is that the mix of the skilled driving, knowledge of the quicker ways to go around and Jacobo network to have the news and sighting before any radio announcement made it possible in all the locations. He was like a Waze/Google Maps for the all trip on top on top of instilling a great mood in the group. I also took the opportunity to go for a one day trip to Materuni falls and experience homemade coffee making on the coffee tour with Fidelis. He was very helpful on any question I asked since he is originally from a city not far from the falls location. We even interacted in French on top of the usual English. Big props to Meruslopes and Geofrey for their constant quick availability on any organizational topic ! If you want to have a real adventure experience, I cannot recommend better than them.

Meru Slopes goes above and beyond - Meru Slopes was excellent to work with to set up my 5 day safari. I wanted to customize some aspects of my safari so had quite a few requests (specific start date, wanted to join a group despite being a solo traveler, upgraded lodging, etc) and emailed >10 different companies for quotes and options. Meru Slopes got back to me quickly and put together several different quotes and options based on what I was looking for. They were the only company who actually was able to make an itinerary that fit what I wanted and it ended up being very reasonably priced. The safari itself was excellent. My guide was Salehe and he has been doing this for over a decade. His expertise is obvious - he helped out multiple other drivers when they got stuck but we never had any issues whatsoever with our car and I felt very safe and comfortable with his driving. We also were able to see all of the Big 5 along with countless other species. Salehe was the first guide to spot quite a few animals including two rhino in Ngorongoro Crater, which can be one of the harder animals to find. We got amazing pictures to the point where a random person sitting next to me on the plane ride home was in awe of my lion, giraffe, and elephant photos. Our chef Buga was also great and was able to easily accommodate one member of our group who was vegetarian while making delicious food for everyone. I was able to pay for my safari with credit card the day before the trip started, which was important to me as I did not want to travel across the world with thousands of dollars in cash. Not all companies allow this; in fact a fellow traveler almost had to cancel his safari as he was unaware that his company only accepted cash. I ended up having an extra full day at the end of my time in Tanzania and actually messaged the owner of Meru Slopes to set up a coffee/waterfall tour. He got back to me that same night and a guide was waiting for me at my hotel the next am at 7:30. Again, my guide Herman was fantastic - he was engaging and shared a lot about Tanzanian culture and day to day life that I hadn't learned. He also stopped and picked up street corn as well as getting local bananas for me to try. He helped me with some of the slippery spots on the waterfall hike and additionally brought my luggage into the airport for me. Overall Meru Slopes went above and beyond with everything I asked for. Their guides were excellent at what they do and clearly some of the best in the business. I would not hesitate to use them again and plan to recommend Meru Slopes for any of my friends traveling to Tanzania in the future.

Amazing safari trip with Meru Slopes, Jacob and Salim: Great adventure & everything was perfect! :) - We are writing this review while we are still being stunnded and out of words by all the breathtaking impressions we collected during this amazing safari trip with the best guide, Jacob, and the best cook, Salim, that you could wish for. But let's start in the beginning: We had some contact via e-mail while still back home in Germany and Geoffrey answered all of our many questions super friendly and reliably. Upon arrival at the Kilimanjaro International Airport the day, everything was taken care of and the transport from the airport to the hostel was organized perfectly. The next day the safari adventure began. The experiences are to manifold to describe them all: We saw lion cubs and elephant families with almost newborns in Tarangire, spotted not only one but 5 Rhinos in Ngorongoro, came close to cheetahs, lions, giraffes, zebras, hippos and so many more in Serengeti and enjoyed every minute of driving from one national park to the next one within gorgeous landscapes. It was the perfect balance: While having amazing safari days with many game drives and a lot of amazing adventures (Jacob, our guide, managed to get us close to 3 cheetahs right after it had rained and the terrain was difficult!), we always felt safe and reassured - with Jacob as our very competent guide as well as skilled driver and Salim preparing delicious authentic meals, we were in the best hands! Jacob and Salim made this adventure an unforgettable one. Jacob was not only a skilled and experienced driver, knowledgeable guide and master in spotting animals, he also is the most kind and helpful person who will always manage to put a smile on your face. Salim prepared great authentic breakfasts, lunches and dinners and made us feel at home with his genuine warm and humorous kindness. We can fully recommend booking the safari tour with Meru Slopes and we are more than happy that especially Jacob and Salim made it possible for us to experience this amazing journey. Thank you for everything - asante sana! :)

Unforgettable Safari Tour - This safari was perfect from start to finish. Even before booking, the Meru Slopes team was on hand with help and advice, so that everything was very easy to organize. We were lucky to have a great tour guide and driver in Jacob. His expertise and safe driving gave us the opportunity to drive roads that most others avoided. This allowed us to see a spectacular number of animals, including the Big 5 of course. He knew the answer to every question we had. Although he worked day and night, he was always very friendly and funny and made the whole group feel at ease. Jacob is an incredibly smart, likeable and nice person. We were also very lucky with Salim, the cook. He cooked us fresh and varied meals every day and the food was delicious. If you are looking for a unique experience with adventure, animals and breathtaking scenery, this is the place for you.
