    The trip was great! We had a very friendly, experienced driver and guide in Paul. Some of the tours were strenuous as you are in a jeep a lot, but it was absolutely worth it! The national parks are each unique and incredibly beautiful.

    I had two tours with Meru Slopes, 4-day lodge safari and kilimanjaro materuni waterfall in Feb 2021. Everything with this agency was excellent. The price was ok, there were a lot of inclusions, Mr Geofrey was extremely responsiveness to our 1000 questions we have had, the hotels in safari were extremely good, all their personnel extremely carrying, open, and pleasant. Special thanks to Asantaeli, Godfrey, Nuru, Prica and Emanuel. Excellent team. The programs are well crafted and the organisation is perfect. I recommend this agency with full confidence. Thank you Meru Slopes.
