The migration and mating season of wildebeest in the Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Conservation Area are the main topics of this 6-day tour. Approximately 8,000 calves are born every day to thousands of wildebeest during the birthing season, which lasts from December to February and extends into March. In order to stay safe and bring their young with them, many zebras and gazelles also travel with the wildebeest.

    We had a great time on our 5 night, 6 day safari. We read about meru slopes through reviews and they did not disappoint. While we were in the process of booking we had all of our questions answered promptly and were able to make a quick decision because of their fast response time. Almachius met us the day before at our hotel to have a safari briefing and answer any questions we may have. We felt good after having the briefing. Our driver Max was a very polite, friendly and knowledgeable man who we felt very lucky to have had as a driver. He drove very safe, was a smooth shifter and had great knowledge of every bump in the road. We were asked what we really wanted to see and he did his best to make sure we were able to see everything possible. I wouldn't have wanted a different driver. It was a pleasure getting to know him and are grateful for the time we spent together. Our stays at hotels and camps were all nice and it was great to not think about anything and just be driven to each hotel or camp and picked up in the morning. Max was always early and waiting for us which we read alot of other companies not do well. Also, out vehicle was very reliable, another reason I booked with them. Many vehicles were on the side of the road broken down but not one meru slopes jeep. You definitely can tell they're well maintained vehicles. Lastly, we were driven to the airport by Nixon. We had an amazing conversation all the way to the airport and enjoyed the ride. We were 15 minutes early and he was already waiting for us. This takes away some stress because the company has your money and the safari is done so you may wonder will they show up on time or at all. They definitely came through with a comfortable van to get us from Arusha to Mount Kilimanjaro Airport. All in all we would definitely recommend this company and it's very clear that they are well managed and do a great job hiring drivers.

  • Unforgettable Safari Experience with Jacob!

    had an amazing safari experience in Tanzania, and Jacob was the best guide we could have asked for! He was always on time, incredibly professional, and his sharp eyesight was truly impressive—he spotted a rhino from a distance before anyone else did! Jacob is an excellent driver, making us feel completely safe and comfortable throughout the trip. He’s also very friendly and talkative, sharing interesting stories and even teaching us how to sing Hakuna Matata. His attention to detail and service mindset were outstanding—he cleaned the vehicle every day, ensuring we always had a pleasant ride. If you’re planning a safari in Tanzania, I highly recommend Jacob. He made our trip unforgettable 这次坦桑尼亚旅行太棒了,Jacob 是我们遇到最好的导游!他非常准时,从不迟到,而且眼神超级好——远远地就能发现犀牛,比所有人都快! 他的驾驶技术非常稳,让我们整个旅程都觉得安心舒适。而且 Jacob 很健谈,不仅给我们讲解各种动物和文化,还教我们唱 Hakuna Matata,让旅途更有趣。最让人佩服的是他的服务意识,每天都会打扫车辆,确保我们有最好的体验。

  • Perfectly organized unique safari experience

    Thank you Meru Slopes for the perfect organization and execution of our private safari. From the first contact we were professionally looked after by our contact Almachius Audax: our mails were always answered very quickly and the safari suggestion was adapted to our wishes. All services of the safari corresponded 100% to the booked tour scope. The safaris themselves were stunning - Tanzania convinced us in this respect all along the line. Since we have already been on safari in Kenya, Namibia and South Africa, we can classify it well. With the help of our guide we were able to observe the animals up close, always taking care not to harass the animals. (Unfortunately, this was not observed with all safari providers) Our driver and guide was very experienced and drove us safely through really difficult terrain. A highlight were also the consistently very comfortable accommodations: whether lodge or tented camp - we were extremely satisfied. The same applies to meals and drinks. Value for money was coherent for us. Our decision to rely on an experienced and highly rated provider has proven to be extremely correct. Conclusion: we can recommend Meru Slopes without exception and would book here again at any time.
