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...)
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.
I would like to share my exceptional experience with our tour guide Robert, who led us on an unforgettable safari through some of Tanzania's most breathtaking locations: Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, and Lake Manyara.
From the very first moment we started our journey, Robert proved to be a treasure trove of knowledge and passion for nature and wildlife. His expertise and attention to detail allowed us to observe the most spectacular animals in their natural habitats, from the majestic elephants in Tarangire to the rare black rhinos in the Ngorongoro Crater.
A particular highlight of our trip was undoubtedly when we saw the illustrious Big Five within just three hours, a rare and unforgettable feat that attests to Robert's exceptional skills and knowledge of the area. This experience alone exceeded our expectations and highlighted Robert's expertise and commitment to providing us with the best possible safari experience.
Robert was not only extremely professional and knowledgeable but also incredibly welcoming and attentive to our needs. He ensured that each day ran smoothly, tailored to our preferences and comfort levels, making our experience even more personal and memorable.
His ability to interpret the movements and behavior of animals enriched our safari with fascinating insights and educational moments, making every wildlife encounter a unique experience. Moreover, Robert found the perfect balance between adventurous exploration and safety, making us always feel at ease and protected.
Robert's passion for conservation and the welfare of animals was evident and contagious. He shared stories and knowledge that deepened our appreciation for conservation and the complexity of these ecosystems. His commitment to sustainable tourism and respect for the natural world was both inspiring and admirable.
In conclusion, our safari with Robert was an incomparable experience that we will never forget. His expertise, warmth, and dedication made our trip unforgettable. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for an authentic and enriching safari experience in Tanzania. Without a doubt, Robert exceeded our expectations and provided us with memories that we will cherish forever.
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 ????????
