Incredible safari
Hello! We are from Argentina, we traveled in May 2026 and took a 5-day tour through Tarangire, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro! I was always in contact with Gift, who was an incredible person! He responded super quickly and resolved our doubts! We did the safari with Max, our driver, and Bonge, our cook! It was a unique experience. From Argentina, it was difficult for us to find information, especially when it is such a long activity and where one does not know what to expect! Do not hesitate to hire Meru Splopees! It's worth every penny. On the last day, we added an activity where Gift helped us to reorganize it! We went to Materuni Falls and took a coffee tour. Everything with Meru Slopees! They are very trustworthy and followed instructions to the letter! I would hire them again if I return to Tanzania!

Wonderful days on safari
When organizing my safari tour, I had five different companies to choose from. I finally chose Meru Slopes Tours. They made a great offer tailored to our needs and preferences. Ultimately, we were very happy! Manager Kelvin arranged for us to stay at a new lodge with excellent service, as well as at a hotel with a stunning view of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. He was always available and responded quickly to our requests. Special thanks to our experienced ranger, Patrick, for his ability to spot rare animals, even small and inconspicuous ones. On the very first day, we already saw several lions with cubs, a hunting leopard, several cheetahs with cubs, a hippopotamus running along the shore, and much more. He spoke wonderfully about nature, the country's traditions, and the Maasai. He was very positive and cheerful, entertaining us with songs and jokes. Our trip truly was an adventure. Thank you for an unforgettable experience! Also thank you so much for the additional transfer the next day, including visiting the cultural center in Arusha. We will share your contact information with our friends.

Sad that I gotta go back home…
The tour guide, Nuru was absolutely kind, friendly and supportive. We could have great days to explore Serengeti and Ngorongoro where we completed the Big 5 (lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo and rino) but it’s obviously thanks to Nuru. He always tries to catch the real time information that which animals being where to take us to the point. Also, he was so thoughtful that he always cared where to stop the car so we could see + take photos of the animals from nicer angle. I believe the places you visit are the same and what makes difference is a skilled and experienced tour guide. And if he has a nice personality like Nuru, your trip will be promised. I recommend the company and Nuru👍

An Absolutely Unforgettable Safari Experience!
From start to finish, our 3-day luxury safari through the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater was nothing short of spectacular! Our guide, Noru, went above and beyond to ensure we had the best possible experience. His deep knowledge of wildlife, sharp eyes, and passion for what he does made every moment feel special. Thanks to Noru’s incredible guidance, we saw an astonishing number of animals up close — including more lions than we ever imagined! The absolute highlight was when a panther (leopard) gracefully crossed right in front of our jeep — a breathtaking moment we’ll never forget. The accommodations were comfortable and luxurious, the food was excellent, and every detail was perfectly organized. This trip exceeded all our expectations and gave us memories for a lifetime. If you’re considering a safari in Tanzania, look no further — this team and Noru will make your experience truly magical!

Magnific experience - highly recommended
We did a 3 days safari in tent with Meru Slopes, which was recommended by a friend of us. It was the best decision ever. Innocent, our driver, managed to always find the best spot for us to see the animals and gave us a lot of explanations and answers to all our questions. Our chef cooked very good typical food, trying as much as he could to make us comfortable. The staff was very sweet and welcoming. The experience in tent was challenging of course, but was what we were looking for as we could sleep surrounded by nature and wild animals. The restrooms in Serengeti could have been better, but if you're not comfortable with public restrooms, you can always choose a lodge. The organisation was amazing, and they offered us the pick up and drop off from airport for free. Almachius, our contact reference was always available, kind and fast in the answers. Overall, highly recommended!!! :)

3 Days Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater Tanzania Luxury lodge Safari: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Arusha.
How much does 3 Days Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater Tanzania Luxury lodge Safari cost?
+
Prices start at $1,750 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Arusha usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does 3 Days Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater Tanzania Luxury lodge Safari take?
+
Plan for about 72 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Arusha is not rushed.
Is 3 Days Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater Tanzania Luxury lodge Safari worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 58 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 11 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable outdoors in Arusha, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 3 Days Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater Tanzania Luxury lodge Safari?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is 3 Days Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater Tanzania Luxury lodge Safari suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 72-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 3 Days Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater Tanzania Luxury lodge Safari?
+
Around 4 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Arusha can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Arusha and add a light layer if any part of the 72-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 3 Days Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater Tanzania Luxury lodge Safari start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Arusha within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Arusha?
+
On Outty we rank every Arusha experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Arusha Guided City Tour &Hotel Pickup (History, Culture &Market, 5 Days Camping Tarangire, Serengeti & Ngorongoro crater & Visiting Maasai, Materuni Waterfalls, coffee tour & Kikuletwa Hot Springs. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Arusha?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Arusha?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
