    · February 24th, 2021
    GREAT COMPANY WITH EXCELLENT SERVICE(Meru Slope Tours and Safaris) My boyfriend and I recently returned from an amazing safari organized by great company Meru Slope Tours and Safaris. We are so happy to share our fabulous experience to people who looking for great safari experience in Tanzania. We took a 5-day safari covered Tarangire National park and Ngorongoro crater, Serengeti. But we saw plenty of animals including all the big five. Our driver was very professional with eagle eye in spotting a distance animal, very kind and knowledgeable. Many thanks to guide who arranged our tour, he was fast in responding our emails during planning our tour. We will recommend Meru Slope Tours and Safaris to anyone.
