6 Day Migration Safari (Ngorogoro Crater Ndutu Central Serengeti

An unforgettable safari experience – highly recommended!

An unforgettable safari experience – highly recommended! We had an absolutely amazing experience with Meru Slopes and were exceptionally satisfied with the entire trip from start to finish. Everything went exactly as promised. We were picked up at the airport upon arrival as arranged, and the organization throughout the safari was excellent. The accommodations were fantastic and made the experience even more enjoyable. A special mention absolutely has to go to our guide and driver, Robbie. He was outstanding throughout the entire safari. His knowledge of the animals and the Tanzanian wildlife was incredibly impressive, and he always knew where to go and what to look for. His driving skills were equally remarkable, especially on the challenging roads and terrain. Thanks to Robbie, we were incredibly lucky to see all of the Big Five and many other amazing animals up close. His passion, knowledge and friendly personality truly made the safari unforgettable. We also really enjoyed meeting the Tanzanian people. Everyone we encountered was incredibly friendly, welcoming and warm, which made the whole trip even more special. Overall, this was an unforgettable experience that exceeded our expectations. We would absolutely recommend Meru Slopes to anyone looking for an authentic and well-organized safari in Tanzania. We will definitely be telling our family and friends about this incredible trip and the memories we made. A huge thank you to Meru Slopes and especially to Robbie for an unforgettable safari! 🇹🇿🐘🦁

Response from the operator: Thank you for your great feedback. We’re glad you had a smooth and memorable safari experience. Special thanks for recognizing Robbie he’ll be happy to hear your kind words. We hope to host you again. Regards, Meru Slopes Tours & Safaris

Amazing Africa

We had an amazing experience in Tanzania. I am going to give a comprehensive review, so if you are considering this trip, you will know what to expect. First the negatives: 1. I am vegan and while they did accommodate me, choices were limited especially for protein. I am used to this and in Africa, most people rely heavily on meat. A positive regarding nutrition is there is very little highly processed food. 2. If you have any type of health or mobility issue, make sure you can get in and out of a tall jeep (Toyota Land Cruiser is most commonly used). 3. The roads are extremely rough in the parks and you can expect an "African massage" everyday as it's an almost constant bumpy ride. There is also a high amount of dust on the roads, so, if you have respiratory issues, keep this in mind. 4. Arusha, where the tour starts, is a small but very crowded and busy city. The people drive as I have never experienced. They weave in and out on narrow roads and there are many motor bikes, pedestrians (including small children who walk on the roads alone) and animals such as goats and cows. It made me very nervous, but our guide was a very good driver. We could have easily skipped the city and gone right to the savannah. Now the good: This company pays close attention to every detail and provides excellent service. Jerome was my advisor from the first contact, and I corresponded with him for over a year, as I planned our trip. He met us in Tanzania at the beginning and end of our tour, and was available during for questions or to address any adjustment I requested. Ombeni was our guide and he was amazing. He made sure we we happy all along the way. There are no guarantees with wildlife viewing because it's dependent on nature, but we saw the Big Five and so many other animals and birds. We also witnessed part of the great migration. I highly recommend this company if a safari is on your bucket list.

Response from the operator: Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a detailed and thoughtful review of your Tanzania safari experience. We truly appreciate your honesty it’s incredibly helpful for future travelers, and for us as we continue improving our service. We’re glad you highlighted a few of the challenges, especially regarding vegan meal options, road conditions, and mobility considerations. These are very real aspects of a safari experience, and your insights help set the right expectations. That said, we take your feedback on vegan protein variety seriously and will continue working with our partners to improve menu options for guests with specific dietary needs. We’re also happy to hear that despite the busy nature of Arusha and the adventurous drives within the parks, you felt safe and well taken care of our guides are highly trained to navigate these environments professionally. On the positive side, it means a lot to know that the attention to detail, planning support, and overall service made your journey special. Jerome will be delighted to hear how much you valued his support throughout your planning process, and Ombeni will be especially proud to know he made your safari memorable and comfortable. We’re thrilled that you were able to experience the Big Five and even witness part of the Great Migration those are truly unforgettable moments. Thank you again for your recommendation and for trusting us with your safari experience. We hope to welcome you back to Tanzania again in the future perhaps for another adventure or a relaxing Zanzibar escape

An unforgettable safari experience with Meru Slopes

We had an absolutely amazing 6-day private safari with Meru Slopes and couldn’t be happier with our experience. From the beginning, Leonard Mkwavi was super helpful and flexible in organizing everything. He worked with us to create exactly the itinerary we were looking for and was always available whenever we had questions before the trip. The biggest highlight for us was definitely our driver and guide Yusti. After spending six days together, we honestly couldn’t have asked for a better guide. His knowledge of the wildlife and the Serengeti is incredible, he always seemed to know where to go and never made us feel rushed. But even more importantly, he’s just a really great guy to be around. We always felt safe and comfortable with him and had a lot of fun along the way. By the end of the safari, it honestly felt less like travelling with a guide and more like travelling with a friend. Everything was really well organized, the accommodations were great and the whole trip went super smoothly. Seeing the Serengeti, Great Migration, Ngorongoro and all the incredible wildlife was already a once-in-a-lifetime experience, but the people made it even better. Huge thanks to Leonard, Yusti and the whole Meru Slopes team. We would definitely book with them again and can absolutely recommend them to anyone planning a safari in Tanzania.

Response from the operator: Thank you for your wonderful review. We are delighted that your 6-day safari with Meru Slopes Tours & Safaris met your expectations. We appreciate your kind words about Leonard and Yusti we’re pleased they made your experience smooth, enjoyable, and memorable. We look forward to welcoming you again to Tanzania.

beautiful

This was the best trip of my life so far. I flew all the way from Australia, spending nearly two days traveling to reach the Serengeti, and every moment was worth it. Thanks to our amazing guide, Juma, we were lucky enough to see the Big Five! The drives could be long, but the excitement of spotting wildlife made us forget the time. Seeing these magnificent animals in their natural habitat was an unforgettable reminder of the beauty and vitality of life. Thank you, Juma, for making this dream come true!
