Honest, efficient, eager to please
5/5

We were a bit reluctant at first to make travel arrangements directly with a safari outfit through emails. But Gift Tembo walked us through several itinerary iterations so we could visit all the parks that we wanted. We were taken good care of since the time we arrived at the Kilimanjaro airport from US through the time we departed for Zanzibar. We spent an amazing week visiting Tarangire, Serengeti, Ndutu, Ngorongoro, and Lake Manyara National Parks. Our dirver/guide Mohamed Abdallah went above and beyond taking us around and finding animals. He’s extremely knowledgeable, knows animals behavior and where to look for them. It wasn’t easy for him driving on dirt roads through the mud but he managed to keep us going. So overall we were very satisfied with Meru Slopes and would highly recommend Mohamed Abdallah as a guide.

Incredible experience
5/5

I booked a six-day safari, which included three nights in a tent, and a one-day trek to Materuni Waterfall directly with Meru Slopes and I can only express an extremely positive opinion.

The organisation was impeccable, with easy and clear communication with Gift, who was always helpful and reliable.

Our exceptional guide Robert, with his 12 years of experience, and Buga, the cook, made the safari truly special. Both took care of every need with great professionalism.

The experience was truly unforgettable, full of emotions and unique moments.
We also had the opportunity to visit a Maasai village, an experience I highly recommend.

Nixon, who accompanied me to the waterfall trek and to the hot springs, was also extremely helpful and friendly.

Punctuality and customer care were constant throughout the trip.

Small tip for those going on safari: take a torch and toilet paper.
I recommend, even for solo travellers, without a doubt Meru Slopes for any adventure or attraction in the Arusha region.

Many thanks to the entire Meru Slopes team for making this experience so special!

Very professional and resolute
5/5

Local company with reasonable prices and very, very professional.

In the organisation prior to the safari, they give you a very clear explanation of the whole programme and the prices. They deliver 100% of what they promise.
In addition, they solve all your doubts and take very little time to answer. The communication by WhatsApp was excellent.
The whole organisation before, during and after the trip was extraordinary thanks to Armando who solved many doubts and helped us to plan the trip to perfection, adapting to our requests. We would like to thank him for his dedication.

During the trip they do what they promised and more. They always try to adapt to your needs, exceeding the experience by far.

Our guide Simon spoke very good Spanish and provided us with a lot of information. In addition to this, he was very helpful and good-humoured.
The driver Nuru is a great driver and professional, we felt very safe with his driving.
Both of them were always willing, always in a good mood and always concerned that we would see the animals as well as possible.

On the first day we had a problem with the vehicle which they solved super fast so we were able to start the tour without any problem.
We also had a problem with our flights that we took on our own, they helped us and solved the problem when they didn't have to.
What I want to put on record with all this, is that during the whole time (before the trip and after) you feel very supported and they give you security in everything they do.

The cars are very well maintained and well prepared. They also have a fridge and drinks included during the whole trip.

When we arrived in Tanzania, we saw that it is a very important local company with many years of experience and a good reputation.
They also employ a lot of local people. It was a pleasant surprise.

It's worth taking the trail to see Kilimanjaro
5/5

We did the 1-Day Shira Plateau-Kilimanjaro Hiking. The guide was attentive and kind. It's not a very tiring trail.

Very professional and experienced tour operator that helped us with making our Safari trip amazing
5/5

The Safari trip with Meru Slopes was an amazing and unforgettable experience! From the beginning Gift Tembo was most helpful in arranging the trip and made it very easy with excellent communication and making sure that our arrival and departure in Tanzania went smoothly.
During the Safari we were taken care of by our amazing guide Douglas and chef Johani. We couldn’t ask for more knowledgeable and fun guide who made our 6 day trip very entertaining and assured that we got the best views during the game drives. And the everyday feast prepared by Johani exceeded all expectations.

Overall had an amazing Safari trip and would recommend everyone to reach out to Meru Slopes for their Tanzania/Africa adventures!

Meru Slopes is a reliable agency which offers amazing trips with reasonable prices.
5/5

We had an amazing 7-day tour with Meru Slopes. Everything is clear and well-organized from the beginning to the end. Audax is an excellent manager who always answers the email timely and clearly and gives useful advice. Our guide Sandy is knowledgeable, experienced and easy-going and he is always try to get close to animals on the premise of rules and find the excellent angles for us to appreciate them. Not only do we learn something about wildlifes and nature from him, but also had super duper happy memories with him. Will strongly recommend Meru Slopes to my friends.

The best safari experience
5/5

Have recently just finished an 8 day safari which covered the 5 main national parks.

From start to finish Meru have been great and cannot fault them at all. Organizing and adjusting the tour to suit us was taking care of by Jerome, he was quick to communicate with and helped us all the way through.

We had never done a safari before so didn’t know what to expect but everything was taken care of from airport pick up to all your food and drink.

The real star of the show was our amazing driver STANLEY ! Couldn’t have asked for a better driver and I hope Meru recognizes him as a real asset to the company. He was such a genuinely nice person with great energy, that had so much knowledge of the animals and over the course of the week we felt like he was apart of our group.

Would not hesitate to use or recommend Meru for another safari trip in Tanzania.

Best Safari experience with Meru Slopes
5/5

We had an amazing experience with Meru Slopes! From the day that we enquiry about the coming trip to the last day, Kelvin answered all our questions and arranged all the details patiently.
When we arrived at Kilimanjaro Airport, Nickson gave us a big welcome and treated us like home!
Our safari tour guide, Jacob was professional with extensive knowledge about animals habits and the nature. He tried best to get us the big 5, ugly 5 and some other animals. We even saw action time of lion, which was awesome.
We also want to give credits to Sway, who guided us to have hiking experience to waterfall and coffee tour in Moshi, which was special and exciting!
Last but not least, thank for every staff who provide assistance during our trip in Tanzania! We would love to recommend Meru Slope to our friends!
