MERU SLOPES TOURS AND SAFARIS

Don’t hesitate a second to take this safari agency. Super well organized.
Our guide Patrick was incredible, always smiley and very hakuna matata ???? - he didn’t stop looking for new animales for us to see them and take wonderful pictures. You can feel that he really loves nature and loves his job.
The prices are really competitive for the market and i confirm that every dollar paid was worth it. Thanks to Meru Slopes for organizing such an amazing experience ????????

Première expérience safari avec la meilleure équipe qu'on aurait pu avoir.
Nourou notre chauffeur / guide et Bouga le cuisinier ont été aux petits soins pendant ces 4 jours en garantissant une super ambiance, des infos sur la faune et la flore qu'on pouvait observer, des repas divers et toujours délicieux!...
Nous recommandons Méru Slope les yeux fermés.
Encore merci Geofrey, Nourou, Bouga et merci également à toute l'équipe (hôtel à Arusha, chauffeur de la navette Aéroport...)

We had an absolutely incredible 5 days on safari through Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro areas. Mudy was our driver and we got to see some amazing wildlife and very scenic areas. I think we saw every type of wildlife we had wanted. Really appreciate Meru Slopes for planning and operating our safari. Would highly recommend.

We had a great experience on the camping/budget 4 day / 3 night safari in Serengeti, ngorongoro, and tarangire. Our itinerary was switched around the morning of, to match us up with other travellers who started a day before us. It didn’t cause any problems but just FYI the order of your tour could change if you’re doing a shared safari.

Andrew was our guide and he was 10/10 excellent. Organized, friendly, communicative, and knowledgeable, I would very highly recommend him. Moshi was our cook and he went absolutely above and beyond. Not only was our food delicious and plentiful the whole time, he was such a delight to have around! (I have had mediocre safari guides and food in the past so can say with confidence these guys are the best).

Camping for 2 nights of the tour is cool as there can be animals roaming around near the tents but the facilities were pretty grim. Yes it’s camping but for the price of the tour it was disappointing to have no toilet paper or soap in the washroom facilities. The sleeping bags do not get washed which is quite gross. The fanaka lodge the third night was quite nice and had a pool.

Geofrey was nice and easy to communicate with leading up to the safari.

For some general recommendations if you’re planning your safari, from our experience, we didn’t see too many animals in Serengeti or tarangire. We saw lots in the ngorongoro crater. I’m sure part of it is luck/the specific day, but part of what we’ve learned is that animal sightings are easier/better in the dry season! Also in these parks the drivers can’t go off road so some animal sightings are quite far away. The drivers have binoculars to pass around but if you want good photos you’ll need a decent camera.
