5.00Our family of three adults and a 1-year-old had the most incredible Customized 2-days, 1-night private Ngorongoro crater full day & cultural safari with Meru Slopes Tours & Safari, and we couldn’t recommend them enough! From start to finish, every detail was perfectly organized by Kelvin Bonith, ensuring a seamless and unforgettable experience. Our guide, Robert Rogers, was exceptional, knowledgeable, patient, and incredibly attentive, especially with our little one. He made sure we had a comfortable and enriching journey, sharing fascinating insights about Tanzania’s wildlife, landscapes, and cultures. The highlight of our trip was exploring the Ngorongoro Crater, a true natural wonder! Witnessing the Big Five in their pristine habitat was breathtaking. Robert’s expertise in spotting wildlife, from majestic lions to graceful flamingos, made the experience even more special. We also loved the cultural activities in Mto wa Mbu, where we immersed ourselves in the vibrant local life. From visiting banana plantations and sampling traditional dishes to interacting with the welcoming villagers and learning about their crafts, it was a beautiful glimpse into Tanzania’s rich heritage. Meru Slopes Tours & Safari exceeded all expectations, professional, family-friendly, and deeply immersive. If you’re looking for a personalized safari with a perfect mix of adventure and culture, this is the team to book with! Thank you, Meru Slopes Tours & Safari, Kelvin and Robert , for an unforgettable May safari! Highly recommended for families, couples, and solo travelers alike!
18 day private safari

5.00We spent 18 days with the Meru slopes guides and enjoyed every minute. Noru and Nixon took us to the Chemka hot springs, the coffee tour and the hike to the falls, and a walk through Arusha markets. Very nicely done, informative and interesting. Also saw the African art gallery, which should not be missed. Jacob took us on through the Serengeti and Ngorongoro crater. A joy to visit with and very capable as a guide. Saw all the animals we expected to see. Very close to the vehicle. Included nice places to stay at the bush camps. Will definitely plan to do this again. Wonderful
