Excellent guide is very important - During our 13-day trip to Tanzania, we chose Gosheni Safaris. Excellent guides can quickly lead you to where the animals are, and they will share information through walkie-talkies. William is very friendly to children and patient in explaining. On the last day, we drove farther to see cheetahs, but the road was not easy to drive. Fortunately, the cheetah got on our car. Because of the rainy season, the car got stuck in the mud. William was very experienced and quickly dealt with the problem. So it is very important to choose an experienced guide on the trip.

Availability and friendliness - All very professional and friendly, from the guide to the person in charge Geoffrey. They have always been very available to solve any incident. Then what you see on safaris sells itself. Spectacular!

A perfect experience that I will book with MeruSlopes again without hesitation! - The four day group camping safari in the Serengeti, Tarangire & Ngorongoro was an absolute dream. The entire safari process, including arrival in Arusha, was well organized and we always felt very comfortable. Despite some (typical) delays on the bus we had chosen from Dar es Salaam to Arusha, we were expected and picked up at the bus station. We slept the first night in Arusha and after a delicious breakfast we went straight to Tarangire National Park at 8 a.m. At first there were only five of us (including the guide/driver and the cook) in the great Toyota LandCrusier with an opening top. Later three more guests joined us. So from day two we were 6 guests + guide in the car on the game drives, which turned out to be a good size. Everyone had enough space to observe the animals and they weren't in each other's way. We slept in a nice lodge on day one, then in tents in the parks for two days. Everything was a perfect experience! The information from our guide Saleh was great & the food from chef Moshi was an absolute dream. Asante sana especially to both of them!! Would definitely book again!

Best Safari - Very nice Tour with the best Guide. Mohammed picked us up at our Hotel. We Head so much Good Food, cool Drinks and were able to See Not only all big 5 but also many more beautiful animals and sceneries. It was really amazing. „Meruslopes“ and especially Mohammed as Guide are the best!

Serengeti and the lions - The guide (Douglas) was very very knowledgeable, the cook that came along was cooking simple but very tasty food. The company was very helpful. Both Serengeti and Ngorongoro are fantastic places, I will go back one day. We saw most animals you could expect to see. And Ngorongoro it´s just like Eden The bad things was two nights in a tent with a paper thin mattress and a very hard pillow. The accommodation was not in standard with the price.

Perfect Safari experience - Joining safari with Samuel was perfect experience. We saw all animals, so we enjoyed well. Everything was good, include food and sleeping things. Thank you!

Fantastic safari in Tanzania - Thank you very much for an amazing experience! It has been a true pleasure to go on safari with Meru Slopes! Our wonderful driver Jacob has shown us all the best of Tarangire, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro. Jacob has been a skilled guide who has taken us safely and smoothly and shown us the incredible wildlife of Africa. He is always in a good mood and creates a great atmosphere. The trip would not have been the same without dear Moshi. Our very skilled chef who has provided us with fabulous meals at all times of the day. He always has a smile on his face and is incredibly pleasant to everyone. He is a fantastic man who deserves a lot of praise! Together, Jacob and Moshi have given us fantastic settings, good structure, security, and a very memorable trip from start to finish. Thank you so much! Meru Slopes has also been a great organizer of our safari. They respond quickly to emails and assist when needed. Warmest recommendations if you want a fantastic safari!

Go local! - We have just returned from a 4-day (group) safari with Meru Slopes Tours & Safaris which encompassed Tarangire NP, Serengeti NP, and Ngorongoro Crater. In short: What a fantastic trip! Everything went well from the very start. We wanted to use a local company and cast our net to see what would come back. Kelvin at the office end of things got back to us promptly with some options. Nicely detailed offer which answered pretty much all of the basic questions. We made a few adjustments, which were easily and quickly taken care of, and all inquiries were answered literally within minutes. I tell people that the longest we waited to hear back from Kelvin was five hours, and we think it was because it was a Saturday. Maybe. As for the safari itself, our driver guide and cook, Robert and Saleem, met us at our hotel and off we went. First stop: Tarangire NP. Within 20 minutes of arriving, we are already seeing wildlife. Elephants galore! Robert was super friendly, flexible, and a very knowledgeable guide. He was always on the lookout for animals, and he was pretty ‘eagle eyed’ and easily spotted so much. We also liked how all the drivers from all the tour operators worked together, sharing tips and knowledge of locations with each other. Robert was also a fantastic driver; we felt very safe and comfortable despite the bouncing around – all part of the safari experience! When dropping us off at our accommodations, Robert always made sure we were actually checked in and had the room key in our hands before he left us. One night, he stayed at the same place and ate with us. Gotta love the Tanzanian hospitality! Saleem, our cook, also did a fantastic job, feeding us a fresh hot lunch every day. We saw quite a few other tours with boxed lunches so were grateful for the delicious food Saleem prepared for us. Lots of rice, vegetable curries, chicken, chapati, pizza or chips even, fruits, and some nice coffee to finish off our meal. Amazing what he could come up with the simple facilities and equipment available to him. We carried on towards the Serengeti, and we saw so SO much – more than we ever expected. We loved our bush camp experience where we saw a big bull elephant coming into the camp, drinking some water, and then carrying on his way. Right before our very eyes! We saw the Big 5 – two different leopards, in fact; one of them twice – and so much more. Countless different birds and smaller animals. We would definitely recommend Meru Slopes as a safari operator when in Tanzania and would use them again if we are ever lucky enough to return to Tanzania. Please give smaller, local companies a chance instead of making the bigger companies bigger. PS: Robert, Kelvin and Geoffery were able to get a T-shirt delivered to our hotel after the safari, so that is customer service above and beyond, if you ask me 😊 Kasan jema, to Kelvin, Robert and Saleem. Asante sana.

Only positive things to say about this company. - The experience exceeded our expectations. Before the trip the team at Meru slopes (especially Gift Tembo) was incredibly patient and cordial; they worked with us to find an itinerary that fit our budget and covered what we wanted to do (we preferred to go to Materuni than Tarangire, and they were fine with that). We also wanted a different accommodation in Arusha and they included it in our package and coordinated with the local accommodation directly. During the trip the guides were always on time, we had the fortune of having Patrick for our Serengeti and Ngorongoro tour, and Fidelis for our day in the Materuni Village. They were both outstanding! Patrick is kind, always happy and knowledgeable, and you can see how much he loves the animals during the game drives. Our cook Yohana (we did not realize we were having our personal cook through the trip) was very nice as well and accommodating of the different dietary restrictions of the people in our group, which the vegetarians in our tour really appreciated. All meals were delicious. Fidelis was very friendly and energetic, kept his eyes open to find small things in our hike we would enjoy (like a chameleon in the leaves!) and made sure to take us to all the items on our wish list in the day we had with him. The cars were kept clean with water, you can charge your phone, there are books to consult about the animals and Tanzanian culture during the game drives, and I really have absolutely nothing negative to say about this company. Would use them again and recommend them with my eyes closed.

Experience of a lifetime - This safari exceeded all my expectations. Our guide Jacob was excellent: patient, knowledgeable and fun. He completely adapted to our needs, took us to secluded spots with no other cars around, we saw literally every animal from up close. Our chef Dula was also fantastic, we had 3x delicious meals every day. Couldn’t recommend them more!!!! Thank you ♥️
