Learn About Us
Every season reveals a different side of Tanzania. Discover the best time to witness the Great Migration, encounter incredible wildlife, climb Mount Kilimanjaro, or unwind on Zanzibar's pristine beaches.
Over 500,000 wildebeest calves are born on Ndutu's sweeping grasslands in one of nature's most extraordinary events. Predators converge in abundance lions, cheetahs and hyenas deliver breathtaking sightings on every game drive.
February is Tanzania at its most raw and dramatic. The southern Serengeti teems with newborn wildebeest as lions, leopards and cheetahs hunt in superb numbers. Unrivalled big cat encounters guaranteed in the world's greatest predator arena.
As the long rains arrive, Tanzania transforms into a vivid emerald canvas. Tarangire's legendary elephant herds swell to hundreds while Manyara's flamingos paint the lakeshore pink shared with far fewer visitors than peak season.
April rains sculpt Tanzania into a photographer's paradise. The Ngorongoro Crater floor blooms with wildflowers and Nyerere Game Reserve offers the most exclusive game drives of the year virtually no other vehicles in sight.
May is Tanzania's best-kept secret. Ruaha, Africa's largest national park reveals its vast wilderness to those who seek the road less taken. Game is superb, lodges offer exceptional value, and the solitude is absolute and restorative.
The legendary march begins. Vast columns of wildebeest and zebra push north through the Western Serengeti, and June heralds the first dramatic Grumeti River crossings. The greatest wildlife show on Earth begins its most thrilling act.
July delivers the iconic Mara River crossings in full force. Hundreds of thousands of wildebeest and zebra plunge into crocodile-filled waters in a breathtaking display of survival instinct. Pure drama in its most unfiltered, legendary form.
August is Tanzania's golden month arguably the finest safari month in Africa. The migration storms the Northern Serengeti while Zanzibar offers flawless dry-season beach conditions. Combine both for the ultimate Tanzanian experience.
September's extraordinary golden light bathes the Serengeti at sunrise and dusk. The far northern reaches near Lobo and Klein's offer intimate migration sightings far from any crowds — every game drive feels like a private expedition.
As wildebeest turn south and the first short rains freshen the plains, October delivers one of Tanzania's most underrated safari months. Cheetahs emerge on the open grasslands in exceptional numbers Africa's fastest animal at its most visible.
November's rains breathe life back into Tanzania's iconic landscapes. Tarangire's baobab-studded plains host Africa's largest elephant concentrations while over 300 bird species make this month a birder's paradise of rare and extraordinary delight.
Celebrate December in the world's finest setting. Wildebeest gather on Ndutu's plains ahead of calving season while Zanzibar's white-sand beaches offer an exquisite festive escape. Safari by sunrise — sundowners on the Indian Ocean at dusk.
Every journey begins with a dream. Discover Tanzania through handpicked destinations, authentic encounters, and extraordinary experiences, thoughtfully curated to turn your vision of Africa into memories that last a lifetime.

Meru Slopes delivered an exceptional safari experience from start to finish. Communication was excellent—quick replies, clear details, and everything well coordinated before and during the trip. The pricing was very fair for the quality and inclusions we received, making it great value for money. We were especially impressed by the many thoughtful extras, like the local SIM card and other little goodies that made travel so much easier. And a huge shout‑out to our safari driver, Stanley—he was professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about wildlife. His driving, timing, and eye for spotting animals made every game drive memorable. Highly recommend Meru Slopes for anyone wanting a smooth, affordable, and truly special Tanzanian safari.Posted on Google![]()

We booked a 7-Days privat Safari with Meru Slopes and it's been fantastic. The coordination with Leonard via WhatsApp was very convenient and the itenary built based on out preferences. Our tour guide Robert was the best - you can clearly say his experience and knowledge are on another level. The LandCruiser was brand new, we had wifi and cold drinks on board all the time, the food was superb and we are very grateful for the amazing trip.+4Posted on Google![]()

We had a wonderful 7-day safari in Tanzania with our guide Robert. He showed us all of the Big Five and many other animals, while sharing lots of interesting information about the wildlife and nature. We were also very happy with the lodges and camps we stayed at and really enjoyed the itinerary from Leonard, including Tarangire, Central Serengeti, Northern Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Crater. It was a great experience from start to finish, and we would definitely do it again someday. Thank you, Robert and Leonard, for a great safari!Posted on Google![]()

Safari de rêve avec un très bon rapport qualité/prix avec l’équipe de Meru Slopes. Option: join group Depuis l’organisation avec Laurent qui était très réactif et serviable, Le déroulement du safari avec notre guide Samuel, et nous avons bien mangé avec notre cuisinier Salimo. Et le plus: une nuit d’hôtel gratuit à la fin du safari avec dîner et petit déjeuner. Enfin, nous avons vu les « big five » et pleins d’autres animaux. Je recommande les yeux fermés .+5Posted on Google![]()

Abbiamo vissuto un’esperienza fantastica in Tanzania! Non pensavamo di poter vedere così tanti animali e soprattutto di riuscire ad avvistarli così da vicino. L’organizzazione è stata ottima, sia durante il safari che per la gestione degli hotel. Ringraziamo Almachius che ha organizzato anche il pernottamento della prima notte e, nonostante un problema avuto con l’hotel dell’ultima notte, si è subito attivato per risolvere la situazione, facendoci anche un upgrade in una struttura migliore. Un ringraziamento speciale va alla nostra guida Jonas, molto preparata, esperta e sempre disponibile. Ha saputo accompagnarci durante tutto il safari con grande professionalità, venendo incontro a ogni nostra esigenza. Un grazie anche al nostro chef Dulla, davvero bravissimo! Ci ha preparato ogni giorno pasti deliziosi, prestando attenzione ai nostri gusti, a ciò che ci piaceva e alle nostre esigenze. È stata un’esperienza bellissima, che consigliamo sicuramente a chi vuole vivere un vero safari in Tanzania. Grazie Jonas e Dulla per aver contribuito a rendere questo viaggio così speciale! 🇹🇿❤️+0Posted on Google![]()

We had an absolutely amazing safari experience from start to finish! Everything was perfectly organized, and we felt very well looked after throughout the entire trip. A special shout-out to Johann, our fantastic cook, who prepared delicious meals every day. The food was genuinely one of the highlights of the safari! And a huge thank you to Daniel, our guide, who was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive. He made the safari so much more special with his expertise and passion, and we learned so much from him. Leonard, our organizer, also did a great job coordinating everything and making sure everything ran smoothly. Overall, we couldn’t have asked for a better team or a better safari experience. Highly recommended! 🐘🦁🌿+3Posted on Google![]()

Abbiamo organizza il nostro Safari in Tanzania con Meru Slopes ed è stato tutto soddisfacente. Il Safari è stato organizzato in ogni dettaglio (transfer aeroporto, alloggi, pranzi ecc.) e sono stati sempre disponibili per ogni nostra richiesta. Il punto forte sono le persone che abbiamo incontrato in questa nostra esperienza, per il Safari chiedete assolutamente di John, non è stato semplicemente la nostra guida, ma un vero compagno di viaggio! Esperto, professionale e sul gentile, ci ha spiegato tanto dei luoghi e degli animali e non potremmo essere più soddisfatti! Consigliatissimo come operatore per il vostro indimenticabile Safari in Tanzania!Posted on Google![]()

Über eine Vergleichsseite im Internet haben wir eine Safari mit Tarangire, Serengeti inkl. Great Migration, Ngorongoro-Krater und Lake Manyara ausgesucht. Dadurch wurden wir zu Meru Slopes verbunden. Die Kommunikation erfolgte per Whatsapp mit Shadrack. Er machte einen sehr guten und seriösen Eindruck, weshalb wir die 6-Tage-Safari bei ihm für 1250 USD pro Person buchten. Hierfür wurde eine Anzahlung von 15% fällig. Sehr gefallen hat uns auch die Option, die Nacht und auch nach der Safari im Arusha Tourist Inn direkt der Agentur zu verbringen. Auch ein Shuttle zur Abholung und zum Wegbringen wäre inkl., haben wir aber nicht in Anspruch genommen. Bei der Ankunft gab es am Abend ein Briefing und auch nach der Rückkehr gab es ein Debriefing, um positive und negative Aspekte durchzusprechen. All das hat uns super gefallen. Shadrack hat einen absolut überragenden Job gemacht. Wir waren eine dreiköpfige Gruppe und wurden mit drei weiteren Touristen in einen wirklich sehr abgewrackten Jeep untergebracht. Die vier Reifen am Fahrzeug sowie die beiden Ersatzreifen hatten schon vor Abfahrt so wenig Profil, dass es nicht verwunderlich war, dass wir insgesamt sechs Mal Pausen wegen Reifenpannen und -wechseln machen mussten. Auch kaputt waren der Tacho, die Tankanzeige und der Kilometerstand. Die Windschutzscheibe hatte diverse Risse und Einschläge, die Armlehnen ließen sich nicht einstellen und die meisten Fenster ließen sich wahlweise nicht öffnen und/oder nicht richtig schließen. Über eine Stunde Zeit haben wir allerdings auch dadurch verloren, weil das Büro es versäumte die Papiere rechtzeitig zu den Wärtern des Lake-Manyara-Nationalparks zu schicken. So standen wir dort rum, während alle anderen problemlos passieren konnten. Der Koch während der Safari hat zwar meist sehr leckere Speisen zubereitet, allerdings sich nie an zeitliche Absprachen gehalten. Das hat uns jedes Mal mal mehr und mal weniger Zeit gekostet, addiert waren es deutlich über acht Stunden. Auch ist er nicht ein einziges Mal darauf eingegangen, dass unser Guide mit uns isst, weshalb wir jedes Mal Besteck und Geschirr nachbesorgen mussten. Die meisten Bestandteile der Speisen waren kalt und trotz Ankündigung, dass eine Vegetarierin dabei ist, ging er darauf nicht ein. Insgesamt aber super, dass wir jedes Mal gruppenweise zubereitetes Essen bekamen, wohingegen viele andere Anbieter nur Fertig-Lunchboxen zur Verfügung gestellt haben. Unser Guide war Abraham. Er war jederzeit sehr ruhig und besonnen, hatte auf die meisten Fragen umfangreiche Antworten, hat von sich aus viel erklärt und das Fahrzeug jederzeit gut gefahren. Die ständigen Reifenwechsel hat er zügig durchgeführt und auch sonst einen hervorragenden Job gemacht. Er war der Garant, dass die Safari insgesamt ein super erfolgreiches Erlebnis wurde. Auch das Hostel Arusha Tourist Inn ist definitiv zu empfehlen. Die Angestellten waren jederzeit sehr freundlich und entgegenkommend. Die Zimmer waren geräumig, sauber und gut ausgestattet. Es kann lediglich ziemlich hellhörig werden. Heißes Duschwasser kommt nach ein paar Minuten Wartezeit. Fazit: insgesamt hat uns das Erlebnis mit Meru Slopes sehr gefallen. Wesentliche Erfolgsfaktoren waren vor allem Shadrack als Organisator und Abraham als Guide. Mit einem anderen Fahrzeug und einem anderen Koch könnten die teils extrem negativen Aspekte unserer Erfahrung sofort abgestellt werden und Meru Slopes somit eine Top-Adresse für Safaris sein.+16Posted on Google![]()
