5.00I travelled to Tanzania with Meru Slope Tours and had an excellent experience. Jerome organized everything perfectly from the start and was always available for any questions. Our guide Ombani was outstanding — extremely knowledgeable about all the parks, very professional, and also a kind and friendly person who made the whole trip even more special. All the lodges were beautiful and the food was always high quality. I truly recommend Meru Slope Tours for anyone planning a safari in Tanzania!

5.00From start to finish,thus tour exceeded all expectations! Witnessing the great migration in north serengeti was an absolutely breathtaking experience- one that I will remember forever. What made it even more special was the incredible service,organization and passion of the tour company that made it all happen. Gift Tempo was our coordinator and was always trying to accommodate us with all our demands. Salim was our guide,this guy is a 100 % hard worker and his goal was making us see all wild animals even when it took him extra hours of driving,and thanks him we saw the rhinos. He is very knowledgeable and professional. The accommodations were comfortable and well-situated, offering stunning views. The staff in every accommodation was outstanding. If you are thinking of experiencing the serengeti and great migration,don't look any further. This is the tour company to go with. They turned a dream into reality,and I can't thank them enough! Highly recommend 👌

A great Safari with Meru Slopes

5.00We took a 8 day Serengeti and migration tour with Meru Slopes and had a great time. Shadrack who prepared our itinerary was patient and professional in helping us with an itinerary that fully met our requests. Our driver and guide, Domician, is very knowledgeable and knows all the animals an plants. He was constantly in communication with fellow drivers to get first-hand info about the animals and try hard to get a good spot for us to take pictures. We were lucky to see the wildbeest migration which was magnificent. All the tented camps were nice, food and service were super good. This trip was amazing! Asante sana!

5.00We had a wonderful experience with Meru Slopes. We had a private tour - my wife and I with a guide. We spent some time before the tour making a variety of requests to stay in specific hotels and adjust the time in various locations. Jerome was extremely helpful and got us everything we wanted. Our guide, Jackson, was fantastic. Extremely knowledgeable about the area, wildlife, and bird life (we are amateur birders) - our experience was simply great. We saw well over 100 different species of birds and animals and just had a wonderful experience. We highly recommend this organization and its people.
Once in a lifetime safari experience – Highly recommended!

5.00We just came back from the most incredible 8-day camping safari with Meru Slopes, and we can’t recommend it enough! From start to finish, everything was perfectly arranged, and the entire team went above and beyond to make it an unforgettable trip. First of all, our chef Dulla was absolutely amazing. He’s such a nice person, and also the best chef – we were surprised everyday by the delicious meals he prepared three times a day. Nickson, who picked us up from the airport, made us feel welcome right away. He’s so friendly and knows everything about Tanzania, we learned so much from him before the safari even started. Our main contact, Gift, was super responsive and helpful. No matter the question, we had an answer within minutes. That level of service made the whole experience stress-free and smooth. And of course, the safari itself was absolutely unforgettable. We were lucky enough to see the Big Five, along with so many other incredible animals and landscapes. Sleeping in tents was also part of the adventure and it truly felt like a once-in-a-lifetime experience. If you’re looking for an authentic, exciting, and well-organized safari adventure, book the 8-day camping trip with Meru Slopes. You won’t regret it!
