We didn't know what to expect, a new continent to us, and no shortage of tour agencies in Tanzania! We picked Meru Slopes given all the positive reviews on the web, and we are glad we did! We were picked up from the airport and taken to the Tourist Inn Hotel in Arusha. We met Geoffrey at the hotel who welcomed us, and explained what to expect in the next few days. The day following our arrival, we started our adventure at the Safari. We were extremely lucky to have Daniel (our driver) and Gadi (our chef, sorry if I misspelt your name!) in our journey. Daniel was a really good driver (car never broke down unlike others we saw on the way :) ) and very knowledge about animals, he answered any questions we had, and ensured we saw all the big five, which we did!! Daniel could spot animals in the very far distance, remarkable! Our chef Gadi cooked from scratch our breakfst, lunch and dinner, we were impressed with the variety, quality, and effort he put into preparing our meals. Everything was delicious. Both Gadi and Daniel deserve a big high five, they were there for us throughout the journey, put our tents up (tents are quite big which is a bonus), and made us feel comfortable. I could stay here writing additional words, but words can't describe enough how much we enjoyed our safari adventure, you have to experience it yourself once in a lifetime (or more, why not), highly recommended. We visited Tarangerie, Seregenti, Ngorongoro crater, all different and beautiful places in their own way. We feel we couldn't have had a better driver / chef, extremely happy. Asante sana Meru Slopes Team!

What an unbelievable experience this was! Me and my brother did a 4-day long safari for $750/person, and considering the extremely high quality of both the guide, the chef and the safari itself, we felt we got our money's worth after the first day alone.
The safari truck has Wi-Fi, and the power outlets work just like a normal one with full power, not like the slow ones in regular cars, so charging your phone + camera batteries goes really quick.
Our guide and driver, Jacob, was fantastic. He's very knowledgeable and has a great sense of humor - he's guaranteed to make you laugh!
And our chef, Moshi, what an incredible chef! The food was some of the best we've had in Tanzania during the 1,5 months we've spent here already, you'll never go hungry during this Safari.
Both gentlemen were incredibly kind and funny, and they made our experience so wonderful, it really feels like we made friends rather than them performing a service that we paid for, and it made us feel as if we weren't just tourists - That's a big plus.
We ended the tour with an included night at an Inn which I assume is owned by them as well, and the room was really nice, so we were really happy about that, too.
All in all, this was an amazing experience. We deeply recommend Meru Slopes Tours & Safaris. There's a reason their rating is 5,0 ★
Thank you again Jacob and Moshi!
