5.00We were both on a safari in Tanzania for 5 days in October 2025. We booked the tour with "Meru Slopes Tours" and are completely satisfied and absolutely delighted. Everything worked perfectly from the beginning and the communication with our local contact - Leonard Mkwavi - was great. He answered all questions quickly and also met us on site at the hotel and explained everything. Perfect! The tour was incredible. We were traveling in a Land Cruiser with pop up roof and in our group we were five guests. The driver/guide - "Godli" Godlisten William - does his job perfectly. He knows everything and also explains of his own accord without having to be asked. The chef - I think his name is "Dadi" - also delighted us. We had 3x a great meal every day and no packed lunches as we saw them with other tourists. Taste great. There was always soup, meat and something vegetarian. All the people we had to deal with speak pretty good English. The safari itself blew us away - of course, we have no comparison. Sooooo many animals and you get so close. Lions, leopards, cheetahs, giraffes, elephants, monkeys, buffaloes, warthogs,... We have hardly seen mosquitoes (I think five) - and that's why the drug is fortunately returning unopened. We had a tour with overnight tents and I would definitely do that again. The zebras right in front of the starry sky were a highlight. At the camp by the crater it was quite cool at night - so bring warm clothes. In general, the camps are pleasantly clean. In the vehicle there was often even Wi-Fi with internet. Occasionally in camps, too. Furthermore, there were also sockets in the car to charge the phone. In summary, I can only recommend such a safari to anyone.
It's a great company, a tour!

5.00I think this company is great. The tour was well-scheduled and enjoyable from start to finish. Our guide JOEL was amazing, he was a good person and a good driver, not to mention a guide, who entertained us. It was a great 5 days to be blessed with some wonderful members. It was October, but I was excited to see wildebeest crossing the river. I was able to fully see the Big Five and met many other animals. I got in touch with you on whatapp immediately after booking and the company is solid and great. We had to change the departure date due to the group relationship, but they provided us with a hotel and food and supported us well. The hotel they prepared was so great and the staff were so nice and I feel so comfortable. After the tour, they allowed us to stay until the time of the flight, which made it feel good. We were in the same group as people with different days, so I decided to say goodbye first, which was a short day. It was hard to say goodbye because the members were so wonderful. That's how big the JOEL team was in me. I'm so glad I chose this company.
Great tour. Great guide and companion

5.00It was a very satisfying 5 days safari with the best members and guides. Our guide JOEL was amazing in everything he did: guiding, driving, personality! It was October, but I was able to see wildebeest crossing the river! Everyone is so excited and moved. We got to meet the Big Five and many other animals! The schedule was designed efficiently and we enjoyed safari in Tanzania, nature. I gave up this time because the price doesn't seem to include only the visit to Maasai, although it is mentioned. I also had the wonderful experience of camping on safari. The starry sky is full of animals as you feel close. You can be assured that you can contact us on whatapp immediately after booking. The schedule was changed because of the group, but they prepared the hotel and the hotel meal and took good care of us. We were a group of people with different days, so it was very lonely to leave a day earlier because the group was too cozy. We really had the best time for 5 days! I'm glad I chose this tour.
Pretty good, great guide

5.00Bear in mind, I did not originally booked with this company but my original tour company basically put me in this tour as they were they trusted partner. I had the pleasure of doing a part of the safari including Serengeti and Ngorongoro with Samuel as a guide and it was the best part of my safari. He was so funny and engaging, and help us to become one team of friends for a few days. Among other things he was very communicative, he was always briefing of what to expect, where we were going, what we would encounter. He also went all the way to the northern part of Serengeti to see to great migration. His driving skills were very good and we sorted a flat tire and being stuck in the mud quite promptly. He also gave us the explanations of all animals we were encountering. He also delivered in terms of animals seen, we saw two groups of cheetah and had also about 5-6 sightings of lions from a male lion alone, a female alone, a family of lions, a baby lions sucking milk from the mother, female lions in the move I guess to hunt, etc. Of course we also saw lots of herbivores: wildebeast, warthog, buffalos, zebras, all sort of antelopes, three groups of hippos, flamingos, elephants, baboons and some other smaller animales and birds. We also saw rhinos, although very very far but it is very difficult anyway. What we did not see is leopards. The food was also pretty good. The accommodation was camping, which was what I booked and it was better than expected, especially the showers and the toilets and dinning facilities. The only thing that I was not aware of is that in order to fill a car, sometimes companies combine groups with different itineraries so you have to be flexible. For example after Ngorongoro, part of my fellow passenger had to go back to Arusha but I continued, so Ngorongoro was cut short, although the company gave us a walking tour in Mosquito river village to keep as busy. The accommodation before Serengeti and after Ngorongoro was also better than expected, I was expecting camping but it was actually a room with bathroom facilities.
Unique, warm and highly recommended

5.00It was really a unique and recommended trip. Our tour guide Samweli is very experienced and always picked the right spot for us so we could take great photos of the animals. We saw almost all the animals you could see. Camping in Serengeti National Park was a great experience, especially when you heard the lions up close at night. Our chef Gahdi prepared us fresh and very delicious food every day, it was so delicious. Everyone was very warm and polite. Our agent Shadrack planned the entire tour very well and always asked us about our well-being. The entire holiday and Meru Slopes Tours is an absolute recommendation. Hakuna Matata 🦁
Totally recommend!

5.00We had an amazing time on our safari which Jerome organized for us. Our tour guide Labulu was very competent and has a lot of knowledge about the nature, which he shared with us. Also the food by Bonge was delicious. Besides the safari tour the accommodation in the Arusha Tourist Inn was also included in the price as well as the transfers from and to the airport. I would totally recommend Meru Slopes for doing a safari.
Great Safari - everything perfect

5.00The safari was perfectly planned from the airport pickup to the end. Already in advance the communication with Kelvin was great and he has responded to all wishes. The safari itself was an amazing experience! We've seen sooo many animals! Our guide Hilary responded to all wishes and was very cool. The car was cleaned every evening, we went to the workshop immediately on an evening when something was wrong with the car and also otherwise you felt in good hands! All in all just great and worth every penny:)
An Amazing Safari With Abraham and Rashid From Meru Slopes

5.00Just finished our 5-day safari with Meru Slopes and we had an amazing time. Abraham, our guide, and Rashid, our chef, created an amazing experience for us. Abraham was knowledgeable about the plants and animals (even more obscure ones) and always treated them with great respect. Both at camp and during game drives, he treated everyone in our group with professionalism and kindness, and we felt well taken care of. On top of that, he was an extremely skilled and safe driver on the very challenging roads in the area. Rashid prepared delicious food for every meal — both local and foreign cuisines — and always brought with him infectious positive energy. When he wasn’t cooking, Rashid was always game to help us pick up Swahili words that would be helpful during our travels. With Abraham’s guidance we were able to see all of the “big five” (and many many more)! Abraham was honest and never over-promised, yet always knew where to look. In Serengeti, we saw several prides of feasting lions, countless herds of elephants, and a pair of leopards. In Ngorongoro, we saw a massive group of water buffalo and spotted the elusive black rhino from a distance. To top off our trip, in Tarangire, Abraham found us a pair of cheetahs sleeping under a tree. P.S. We are writing this because Abraham and Rashid were superb — we’ve had other tour operators forcefully insist we write a positive review, and Abraham and Rashid did not do this :)
Incredible few days
