We booked our Mount Meru trek and safari with Meru Slopes, and we honestly couldn't have asked for a better experience! Our adventure began with the Mount Meru trek, where Kennedy was our guide, accompanied by Edmund and Emil. Kennedy was absolutely outstanding! Reaching the summit was a real challenge, but thanks to his encouragement, motivation, patience and experience, we made it to the top. Without him and the entire team, we honestly don't think we would have reached the summit. Kennedy constantly checked on our well-being, adapted to our pace and made sure we felt safe and supported throughout the entire climb. A special thank you also to Edmund who also joined us for the summit push and Emil for their fantastic support and dedication and Emils wonderful culinary skills. The food was delicious, varied and plentiful. It was a truly unique experience that we will remember for the rest of our lives! After the trek, we were picked up by Julius, our safari guide, for three incredible days of safari. Julius was simply fantastic! Not only was he an exceptionally safe and skilled driver, but his knowledge of wildlife, nature and Tanzania was impressive. He shared so much fascinating information with us and always took the time to answer our questions. He listened carefully to our wishes, made every effort to give us the best possible wildlife encounters and went above and beyond to make these three days unforgettable. Kennedy and Julius truly deserve special recognition. Both made an enormous difference to our trip, not only through their professionalism and knowledge but especially through their kindness, dedication and genuine passion for what they do. A huge thank you to the entire Meru Slopes team for making this adventure so special. We would book with Meru Slopes again in a heartbeat and recommend them without hesitation to anyone planning a Mount Meru trek or safari in Tanzania!

Un safari sur 4 jours et 3 nuits ! Paysage, visite du monde animalier, une aventure sensationnelle et extraordinaire ! Le guide Patrick (et le chef Doula) a été d'une gentillesse sans nom toujours souriant et nous a fait découvrir des sites plus beaux les uns que les autres, nous a appris au sujet des animaux et nous a permis de les approcher au mieux. Un grand, grand merci à lui et bravo pour l'organisation sans faille!

I honestly don’t even know where to start because our honeymoon in Tanzania was beyond anything we could have imagined. And I can confidently say that choosing Meru Slopes was one of the best decisions we made. We organized everything directly with Leonard, and from beginning to end, the entire trip was absolutely flawless. We booked an all-inclusive luxury safari, and everything was fantastic — beautiful accommodations, amazing food, great service, and not a single thing we had to worry about. We started with a lovely stay in Arusha and a really interesting town tour before heading off on our six-day safari through Tarangire, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro Crater. But the real highlight of this entire trip was our guide, Jacobo. And I genuinely cannot stress enough how incredible this man is at what he does. His knowledge, experience, and ability to find animals are on a completely different level. At some point, we started joking that he must have some kind of secret agreement with the animals because there is no other explanation for how much we managed to see. We saw absolutely EVERYTHING on our bucket list. All of the Big Five and all of the Ugly Five, not just once, but multiple times, often ridiculously close. And the best part? After talking to other travelers throughout our trip, we realized that what we had experienced was far from ordinary. People were excited about seeing one leopard or a lion in the distance, while we had already lost count of some of our sightings. No exaggeration, I think we saw more wildlife in six days than I’ve seen in years of watching National Geographic. And can we also talk about the fact that we had cold beer and wine available during our game drives? Because honestly, sitting in the middle of the Serengeti, watching wildlife with a cold drink in your hand is a level of luxury I didn’t know I needed in my life. Such a small detail, but it made the experience even better. There wasn’t a single day that disappointed us. Every game drive somehow managed to be better than the previous one, and every time we thought we’d seen it all, Jacobo would find something else that completely blew our minds. I honestly cannot imagine doing this trip with anyone else. Leonard took care of every detail, and Jacobo made sure we experienced Tanzania in a way we will never forget. If you’re planning a safari in Tanzania, do yourself a favor and book with Meru Slopes. And seriously, ask for Jacobo. I don’t know what kind of magic this man has, but you definitely want him behind the wheel. Our only regret is that we didn’t stay longer. We would do the whole thing again tomorrow without thinking twice. Thank you, Leonard and Jacobo, for making our honeymoon even better than we dreamed it would be. You absolutely nailed it!

Our honeymoon was organized by Meru Slopes, and we had worked directly with Leonard. We had an all inclusive tour with the most comfortable luxury accommodations, fantastic food and most of all with probably one of the most experienced guides in Tanzania - Jacobo. We spent out first days in a lovely hotel with a very comprehensive town tour in Arusha. Then Jacobo took us on the 6 days tour around Tanzanian Safaris, we visited Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater, we are happy to say that it was flawless, we managed to see everything on our bucket list, and even after discussing with other travelers we realized we have seen way more than most of other groups that visit the park! Completely unforgettable full of positive emotions and definitely we can brag that National Geographic didn't show as much as we have seen with Jacobo!! 5 out of 5 for Big 5 and Ugly 5, and we have seen each of those animals more than once up close, as close as you can possibly get based on the park's regulations!!! Thank you so much for everything and we will definitely spread the word who you must choose if you visit Tanzania 🇹🇿

Highly Recommended Safari Experience with Meru Slope I was extremely satisfied with my recent 9D8N safari trip. Guide Rashid was outstanding — professional, knowledgeable about the wildlife, engaging, and genuinely enthusiastic. He consistently positioned us in the best spots for excellent animal sightings, often getting us very close. Even with just my iPhone 16 Pro, I was able to capture beautiful photos. Sales Shadrack was equally excellent. He responded quickly to all my questions and offered helpful suggestions throughout. The accommodations were nice. Overall, I was very happy with the itinerary and arrangements. If I have the chance to go on safari again, I will definitely choose Meru Slope. Highly recommended with full confidence.

We had the most wonderful safari trip imaginable (8 days). The experience was great, we had a very experienced guide, Max, who showed us the best parts of Tanzania wildlife. We saw three river crossings, three times lions attack other animals, and of course the big five. I found Meru slopes because a friend also had booked a trip with them and he was very positive. Can only agree with him, our trip was amazing as well 🙂 only tip I have is that you might want to check the food if you are vegetarian or vegan, most of the time it’s fine but for me lunch went wrong one time (after that Max was paying more attention to it to make sure it was correct the days after).

Excellent ! I left a lengthy review on Trip Advisor also because this company was incredible. The Safari was run professionally, we saw Central and Northern Serengeti and Ngorongoro, the Big5 and the Wildebeest migration amongst countless other animals. The Toyota Land Cruiser we used was in great condition, the driver was knowledgeable and professional, the food we ate was tasty, simple and healthy. The campsites had adequate toilets and showers. My liaison from the company arranged airport transfer the day after we finished at no extra cost. Everyone who worked for the Meru Slopes was kind, calm, professional, knowledgeable and hard working. We had no issues on our entire trip, and we spent A LOT of time on game drives compared to other companies. Highly recommend Meru Slopes, and I will suggest them to any friends or family coming to Africa.

We've had a great safari to the Northern Seregeti where we saw multiple river crossings. Our Guide (Max) managed to "put us on the spot" and we had great views of these spectacular events!!

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers to what travellers ask us most about a Tanzania safari.

When is the best time for a Tanzania safari?

The dry season, from late June to October, is the most popular time for game viewing because animals gather around water and the grass is shorter. The Serengeti migration river crossings are usually seen in the north from July to October, while the calving season around the southern Serengeti and Ndutu runs roughly from January to March. The green season (November to May) is quieter, with lush scenery and lower rates.

How many days do I need for a safari?

A short safari of 3 to 4 days can cover parks such as Tarangire, Lake Manyara and the Ngorongoro Crater. For the Serengeti as well, we recommend 5 to 7 days so you are not rushing between parks. Many guests also add Kilimanjaro, Zanzibar or a hot air balloon flight.

How much does a Tanzania safari cost?

The price depends on the length of your trip, the season, your group size, and whether you choose camping, mid-range lodges or luxury camps. Every safari we plan is private and tailored to you, so tell us your dates and budget and we will send a clear quote with everything included.

Do I need a visa or vaccinations for Tanzania?

Most visitors need a visa, which can be applied for online as an eVisa or obtained on arrival at the main airports, and your passport should be valid for at least six months. A yellow fever certificate is required if you arrive from, or transit for a long time through, a country with yellow fever risk. Malaria precautions are advised, so please speak to your doctor before travelling, and check the latest rules for your nationality before you fly.

Is a safari in Tanzania safe?

Yes. Tanzania is one of Africa’s most established safari destinations, and with a licensed local operator your trip is led by experienced guides who know the parks and the wildlife well. We handle airport pick-up, transport and accommodation, and we recommend travel insurance and following your guide’s advice around wildlife.
