Honest, efficient, eager to please
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.

Safari and Kilimanjaro
Meru slopes is a great choice for budget experience as nothing felt budget. Almacius was very responsive and answered all our questions before the trip and customised our trip according to our wishes.
Safari:
Safari experience was amazing. Our driver/guide Andrew is a real professional! Great attitude, very organised, knows so much about animals and local vegetation. His eyesight is insane, he spored animals so far away and animals that very hiding very well. Our chef Gidion always prepared something new and so delicious. Also he has amazing attitude and created always fun and light atmosphere. Guys took amazing care of us. The best!
Kilimanjaro:
Well it was just simply dream come true. During hard times our guides Kennedy and Julius made sure not just for us to stay safe but also keep us in the best mood possible. They adjusted hiking speed according to out capabilities. They kept good company as well! Every evening we had briefings that made sure we prepared for the next day. Also wow, Kennedy knows so much about Kilimanjaro wild life and vegetation. Was super interesting to learn about this wonderful place! Also our chef cooked epic meals and every dish was different. What strikes me the most, that we were worried about the amount of food that will be available to us, so we took lots of protein bars, but wow, there was so much food we had to ask to cook less as we simply cannot eat that much. Did not touch my protein bars at all. Thanks guys!
Some negatives:
Although experience was really good, I think its important to note few things.
In our offer it was said that local sim car is included so we could have internet and etc. We did not get them. When we asked for it, there was always something - oh do you really need it for Kilimanjaro. Oh well sim card guy is somewhere, so if you want you can wait for an hour or more till he is back, but will go to Safari later in this case. However in these days its super easy and cheap to get e-sim, so just get one and there will be no problem.
Another thing to note, be aware of the tipping! Even tho the offer mentions it, the description is not accurate at all. So just read on it, there is a lot of information on how much and to whom.

Amazing!
We were taken care of from A to Z.
From the arrival at Arusha airport, until the departure from it. They organized everything. Everything was very well done. The food was very good, to drink, to eat at will.
The parks were great, we were very lucky to see 4/5 big five and many others! Taken on board the vehicle. Everything was great.

Excellent guide/driver, helpful staff and delicious food.
We’re very happy with our 6 day 5 night private safari trip and the one day waterfalls/coffee/hot spring tour with Meru. Gift was so helpful, he arranged everything for us including the airport shuttles before and after the safari trip. Everything went very smoothly. I wanna thank our guide Asandaeli, who was also an excellent driver and a bird expert, he carries a bird dictionary with beautiful pictures in our safari jeep, and every time he saw a bird, he would immediately recognize it and explain the bird details to us. He showed us a lot animals in Serengeti, Ndutu and Ngorogoro, every day was full of excitement. You can absolutely trust him, Asandaeli can handle the worst road conditions even in raining season. And we also wanna thank you chef, Gideon. As Chinese, we’re quite picky eaters. But the food Gideon made was very delicious. And Nixon, our guide of one day trip to waterfalls, coffee experience and hot spring, he taught us a lot about the African culture. I would highly recommend Meru.

Amazing local tour operator with friendly guides
We recently did a 7-day safari with Meru Slopes, and it was an unforgettable experience. Our driver and guide, Douglas, made us feel welcome and comfortable from the very start — like we were part of his family. His deep knowledge of the local culture and wildlife was impressive, and he answered all our questions with patience and ease.
The organization of the tour was flawless. We didn’t have to worry about anything, they took care of the entire trip for us. The flexibility to adjust our daily plan to suit our needs was a huge plus, and the unlimited water, soda, beer, and wine throughout the trip kept us refreshed at all times.
Having booked with other agencies before, I can say that Meru Slopes was definitely the best. If you’re planning a safari, do yourself a favor and book with them. And if you can, ask for Douglas as your guide — you won’t regret it!

Kilimanjaro (Lemosho 7 days), safari in Ngoto Ngoro and Tarangire (2 days)
Perfectly prepared trip, we were in group of 4 people (me 55, my daughter 29 and 2 super guides). Nice weather, no altitude sickness, what else you could wish...
Everything was really good (3 foods a day, tents, sleep bags...)
Also safari was nice, but first day in Ngoro Ngoro was for me a little better than second in Tarangire.

A decision that u won’t go wrong
I booked my trip a year in advance but was lazy and unprepared with the arrangements. As the flight date approached, I researched and learned that a Tanzania safari isn’t possible without a tour or guide. I did a deep search for travel agents in my home country and online, comparing at least six operators. At the last minute, I chose Meru Slope, and I’m so lucky I picked the right one! My partner and I enjoyed every moment of our tour. Our driver, Patrick, took care of us like family. The arrangements were flawless—meals (including my lunch with white wine), transportation, and accommodations were perfect. I felt incredibly grateful by the end of the trip. Having traveled to over 40 countries, this was one of my best experiences. When I got home, my local travel agent even asked for more details about the trip, as they hadn’t heard of such a great experience before. If you come across this post, trust me—book with Meru Slope, and you’ll enjoy it as much as I did!

Wonderful organization
Our guide helped me carry my backpack and book a perfect cabin. The chef's meticulously prepared soups surpassed those of many hotels. Simon, our porter, was fantastic, preparing daily foot baths and afternoon tea. Another porter quietly completed all the tasks. The three-day hike was incredibly smooth and enjoyable! Thank you!

Amazing 11 Day Africa Safari Experience with Meru Slopes
We had the most incredible and unforgettable Safari experience in Tanzania with Meru Slopes from 8/28-9/7. This wonderful 11 day trip exceeded our expectations in every way. We are extremely satisfied and grateful for the service and care provided by the entire Meru Slopes team. The food was great, the accomodation was clean and comfortable, and the game drive was exciting, and the overall itenary was well planned. This was not easy for our large group that needed 10 Safari vehicles.
Our driver and guide Samwil went above and beyond to make our trip amazing and trouble free. He was so friendly and accommodated all our needs without hesitation, often sacrificed his own time. In Lake Natron we were separated from other people from our vehicle by moving to another camp, and he had to come to two places to pick us up. As the result, he spent more than 1 hr round trip on the road, compared to other drivers in our group. And he did it happily. Every day, he cleaned our vehicle and picked up our personal belongings that we left behind. He drove carefully and checked our vehicle frequently to ensure it was problem free. With his guidance and help, we achieved all of goals of this trip and much more!
If you are looking for an Africa safari adventure filled with breathtaking views, excellent service, unforgettable memories, and unbeatable price, Meru Slope and Samwil is the perfect choice! Highly recommended.
