amazing trip with a great tour company
We chose Meru Slope for our tour since their communication is very efficient and quickly responded. Also, their price is very reasonable.
Then my daughter and I started our 8-day Safari with a little bit nervous for the uncertainty. From midnight airport pick up to the last day drop off at the airport, we have experienced wonderful service. The places they arranged are very clean and safe. Especially the hot water shower at each place is impressed me. Also, I would like to let you the food are varied and very good arranged in every place. Our picnic lunches are very good compared to other travel groups we saw at the picnic area since some of them only provide their customers with quick food. We were always provided at least two courses.
The tour with our tour guide, Godfrey, is also unforgettable. Godfrey guided us for 8 days in the parks. He provided not just driving us but a lot of knowledge about animals and history. He has the invisible map in his head and knows where to take you to see the most amazing moment of wildlife.
I would like to emphasize about Meru Slope Tour is their commitment to guest satisfaction and their value. Jerome is the contact person who helped us book the whole trip and followed up with some issues even after our trip. I am fully impressed by his professional way of treating the customer.

Safari dream trip
We wanted to express our gratitude to Almachius who set up our 7-day safari in Tanzania and our amazing guide, Jacob, who facilitated our dream trip.
Every detail was planned to perfection from the moment we were picked up at the airport in Arusha (at 2:30am!) to our drop off again at the need of our incredible week.
Jacob guided us through Tarangire, Serengeti, Ndutu and Ngorongoro with expertise. We were often the first to witness lions, giraffes, elephants and so many more beautiful animals, due to the experience and eagle eye of our most talented guide.
Over the weeks time we saw the elusive leopards and even some Rhino, along with cheetah, the big 5 and the ugly 5.
Our days were filled with close up experiences with wild animals, picnics in the middle of the African plains and day after day of the gorgeous scenery that Tanzania has to offer.
We would highly recommend Meru Slopes for your dream safari and definitely ask for Jacob for an extra special experience.

Excellent service
Meru Slopes picked us up from Kiliminjaro Airport and took us to the Kibo Palace Hotel in Arusha. The next day a very embarrassed Kelvin was obliged to tell us that our Holiday Company (Verikson Holidays) had failed to pay. Kelvin spent the day with us taking us to the African Art Museum in Arusha. We managed to persuade Verikson to pay and later that day the funds went through. At the very last minute on the next morning Meru Slopes managed to get the 2 of us off on a 4 day safari into Tarangire, the Serengeti (2 days) and Ngorongoro National Parks. Max was our driver. He was a careful driver, considerate, polite, had a sense of humour and seemed to have an uncanny ability to find wildlife without often being surrounded by other Toyota Land Cruisers. Thanks very much Max. Our accommodation was changed from that booked due to the necessary last minute bookings given Verikson Holidays overdue payment. Nonetheless we were satisfied. On the 5th day Meru Slopes gave us a courtesy cultural tour, a village tour which was enlightening, interesting and worthwhile then a visit to a Maasai village which was a little too touristy for our taste. That evening Kelvin joined us at our hotel to apologise for the disruption to our holiday, not that we held Meru Slopes responsible. He also presented us with gifts. The other drivers; Edson and Joseph (?) were also very pleasant. We would highly recommend Meru Slopes (but advise everyone to never use Verikson Holidays!).

Very Happy we went with Meru Slopes!
Meru Slopes Tours
The staff at Meru Slopes was welcoming and gave us a sense of family. Both of our guides were knowledgeable and excellent drivers. Victor, our city guide had to navigate through extreme traffic and unscheduled road closers to help us get to our destinations. He could backout and turn around in complete gridlock. Douglas our Safari Guide was very knowledgeable, an excellent driver and super friendly. He could see things that that would undoubtable be missed, explain all of the details and habits of the animals and found everything and more that we were hoping to see. The Meru safari camp made us feel like family as well. We miss them already.

An awesome adventure with Meru Slopes! Where dreams come true....
Our dream vacation really began when Victor, our (city) guide to/from the airport, picked us up. He’s an incredibly enthusiastic young man, who was eager to teach us a little Swahili, talk to us about his country, and who did an excellent job navigating us through/around some intense traffic due to the Prime Minister being in town. And when the President was in town at the end of our trip, he again did a masterful job of avoiding delays. What an exceptionally happy and engaging person!
Our guide throughout our safari, Douglas, did an excellent job. It was clear his goal was to make all our dreams for this vacation a reality! He managed to exceed our dreams. His depth of experience was clear from day one. Each time we encountered an animal, he somehow managed to get us positioned front and center. He educated us not just on the animals but on his country and the people. We saw every animal, except the elusive leopard. We even saw both black and white rhinos! We went in late February so we did experience a day of the rainy season, with washed out bridges and flooded roads. Yet, this didn’t deter Douglas at all. We still went out and saw all sorts of animals and beautiful lands. And of course, with the time of year, we were gifted with sightings of all the newborn animals as well.
I highly recommend Meru Slopes! When local business people asked which company we were with they all had great things to say about Meru Slopes. So, if you want to be treated wonderfully, and have an experience of your life, check out Meru Slopes. We did the 8 day- Wildebeest Migration option and it was pretty darned perfect! Well worth the investment!!

I have been on safari tours in Tanzania three times, and the tour with this agency was the best!
I highly recommend it. I have been on safari tours in Tanzania three times, and the tour with this agency was the best!
In my previous experiences, the other two tours had several issues—especially with punctuality. They were late, and I ended up wasting more than three hours of my time. However, with Meru Slopes Tours, everything was perfect and went very smoothly. They are also very punctual and truly prioritize customer service.
Thank you so much for your excellent service, especially Mr. Tembo Gift (Manager), Mr. Patrick (Guide), and Mr. Buga (Chef). They are all very professional and helpful.
Even though it was a holiday and not related to safari matters, they still actively helped resolve an issue I experienced while staying in the Arusha area.
Don’t waste your time and money on other unverified tour agencies (I say this from personal experience). If you want to ensure a great travel experience, choose this reliable agency.

Amazing!!
Going for safari in Tanzania, this is your company! Everything was over my Expectation. From booking, to bringing me back to the airport. They was so helpful with giving me information, and anwser all my questions. When I arrived they picked me up, and drove me to the hotel. The hotel was really good.
On the safari we did have an amazing guide, dickson. So kind, and had alot of knowledge. Me as a muslim going for safari, there was NO problem for getting time for my salah. Imagine praying under a tree in Serangeti, amazing experience!
The camps was very good, I did sleep very good. The food was also over my Expectation. We did see all big 5, we did see around 80 Lions!
When we got back to the hotel in Arusha, the airline change my flight. What did Meru slopes do? They let me stay an extra night, with all meals included. Such a great service!! Overall It couldn't be better, if doing safari in Tanzania agein, this will be my company. Thank you all for giving me an amazing experience! <3

Unforgettable Safari – No only Big Five but More!
We had an amazing safari with Meru Slopes Tours – we were lucky enough to see the Big Five plus many other animals! Our guide Muddy was fantastic: knowledgeable, friendly, and incredibly good at finding wildlife.He's a perfect guide.
We also met wonderful travel buddies during the trip, everyone was humor and easy-going, which made the whole journey even more enjoyable.
Accommodations were great overall. The only downside was dinner in Ngorongoro Serena Safari
Lodge,where we unfortunately got food poisoning.
Apart from that one issue, everything else was perfect. Highly recommended!

Fantastic and comfortable experience! Highly recommended!
Me and my colleague joined a group of four others for safari in Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro crater lake. Everything was very well organised prior to the trip. This included airport transfer from Kilimanjaro, hotel accomodation in Arusha both before and after the safari, and obviously, the whole safari incl. accomodation.
Our driver, ziggy was an experienced guide and knowledgeable on best times and locations to see everything. It helped that we had our own guides to the animals and birds, allowing us to identify most of the not so obvious species. Our cook, buga was fantastic, always ready to cater and an all-round jolly character. He made a variety of great food, some of which was local food but more catered to the 'western' palette.
All of our accomodations were brilliant, after Tarangire we stayed near Lake Manyara at what can be described as more of a 'glamping' type of place; zip up tent in a wooden hut with 'en suite' wc and shower round the back. In the serengeti we practically camped right in the middle of all the action, hearing lions roar at night was extraordinary and the clear night sky was incredible for star gazing. Our camp site overlooking Ngorongoro was idylic and the perfect site to get down to promptly get down to the crater in the morning.
Over the course of the safari we saw hundreds of bird species, the so-called 'big five' and many many other animals. The wildebeest migration is thoroughly impressive and so is just about any animal that you see. We also saw some action which was pretty savage (hyenas mauling down a new-born calf) but that is nature! Again, credit to our driver for spotting this and getting us to the spot promptly. No description of mine can quite describe how great of an experience this all was, everything was absolutely fantastic. Thanks to Meru Slopes, highly recommended, well worth it and they made the whole experience a delight.
