    A dream stay

    Thanks to Geofrey for organizing a perfect safari for us, he was able to meet all our criteria as well as the requested lodges, and I would like to leave a little note to our guide Didas who was exceptional, the best guide and who speaks very well French as requested!! Despite a short stay of 4 days, we were able to see the BIG 5 and many other animals. Best GUIDE, who was able to explain everything to us, and told us several anecdotes. An unforgettable experience. I 100% recommend Meru Slopes Tour, we couldn't have dreamed of better ❤️

    Response from the operator: Dear, We thank you for sharing your experience with us. We are delighted to hear that Geoffrey was able to meet all your criteria and organize a perfect safari for you. We will pass on your message to Didas, your exceptional guide, who knew how to make your stay unforgettable. Thank you for recommending Meru Slopes Tour 100% and we hope to welcome you again soon!

    4 Day Camping Safari to Serengeti and Ngorogoro with Maru River Crossing

    We had a lovely 4 day camping Safari trip around the Serengeti and Ngorogoro. Our experienced guide Mudy managed to find us all 5 of the big 5, including the elusive black rhino in Ngorogoro, and we got to witness the incredible Maru river crossing in the Northern Serengeti. Our excellent ‘stomach engineer’ Gadi made sure we were well fed every step of the way with no shortage of good vegetarian grub! The tour operator, Geofry, did an excellent job of making sure that everything happened just as promised including airport transfers, etc, and we felt very well looked after. We booked directly through Meru Slopes website and had no trouble with this. For anyone wondering about the practicalities, we would recommend the camping experience. The public campsites are predictably basic, but cater for all the essentials including toilets, showers, dining, and cooking facilities. Simba campsite even had a little shop, and hot water. The campsites are open, but we never felt in any danger. We had a lovely experience at Simba campsite where we were woken to a herd of zebra chewing on the grass behind our tent and one lady’s water bottle was stolen by a baboon 😂 The wifi dongle in the car was spotty according to 3G signal, but good, and we were able to stay in touch with home. There are charging points in the car also, though having a power bank with us was helpful. There was a pair of binoculars in the car, but we would recommend bringing your own as otherwise you’ll be sharing with five others. Having unlimited access to bottled water was much appreciated. Be prepared for 5am starts in order to enjoy the sunrise and make the most of your tour. The whole experience was really amazing. We saw everything we wanted to see and more. The Serengeti and Ngorogoro national parks were truly beautiful. Thanks again to Mudy and Gadi and the whole Meru Slopes team!

    Response from the operator: Great and perfect, you had a lovely 4-day camping safari with us, seeing the Big Five and witnessing the incredible Maru river crossing. Our guide Mudy and 'stomach engineer' Gadi made it a memorable journey. Geofry ensured everything went smoothly. Camping was a great choice, and the campsites had essentials. The wildlife encounters were unforgettable. Thanks to Mudy, Gadi, and the entire Meru Slopes team!

    Fantastic service with Meru Slopes & Samuel

    My husband and I came for our honeymoon and we are glad to have booked with Meru Slopes. We visited central Serengeti and also travelled up to northern Serengti to see the great migration. Also went through Ngorongoro crater, which was beautiful. Our guide Samuel was extremely professional, friendly and reliable. We saw countless lions, elephants, giraffes, even cheetah and rhinos! Plus stayed at amazing lodges, super comfortable with good food and service. Samuel was so helpful to help us with everything, and we fully recommend him. Thank you Samuel and Meru Slopes!

    Response from the operator: We're delighted you chose Meru Slopes for your honeymoon safari and had a great experience with Samuel. Thanks for the recommendation!"

    Absolutely amazing and so flexible - will be recommending to everyone!

    Meru was the highlight of my trip and I’ll be telling everyone! I did a lot of research before and somehow this company had the cheapest prices and yet so many inclusions. On arrival, they sorted me a SIM card (at no cost), taxis etc. During the actual safari we were given proper drinking water and the car was crazy comfortable even with extra cushions. They even threw in 3 bottles of wine and beers for us. The real icing on the cake though was when I realised I was a bit ‘safaried out’ - I messaged Geoffrey (who is available 24/7) and they immediately organised a cancellation for me, refunded me and got me back to Arusha. They were completely understanding and basically just made sure I had the best holiday possible. I don’t know what else to say except I am delighted! The only thing to be aware of is some of these safaris are grouped together e.g you do something for 2 days and meet another group. For solos travellers, it’s good to know you might not have the same group and might not always have a dull car. We only had 4 as 2 didn’t show up - but this also gave us a lot of room so I cannot complain. Finally to Daniel and Doolah - thank you for being so kind, making sure we saw everything (we saw all Big 5 twice over, I even asked to try and see some kills and Daniel tracked down 3 seperate kills). I’ve never written a review before but just had to for Meru - do it!!!

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for taking the time to write this review We are very happy that you saw all Big 5 and and that's exactly our main goal for all our safaris We really appreciate you choosing Meru slopes tours and safaris. Kind regards Geofrey Nasari Director and Sales

    4 DayTanzania Great Wildebeest Migration Tour inside Serengeti: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Arusha.

    How much does 4 DayTanzania Great Wildebeest Migration Tour inside Serengeti cost?

    +

    Prices start at $950 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 4 DayTanzania Great Wildebeest Migration Tour inside Serengeti take?

    +

    Plan for about 96 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 4 DayTanzania Great Wildebeest Migration Tour inside Serengeti worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 66 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 4 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Arusha, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule 4 DayTanzania Great Wildebeest Migration Tour inside Serengeti?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is 4 DayTanzania Great Wildebeest Migration Tour inside Serengeti suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 96-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book 4 DayTanzania Great Wildebeest Migration Tour inside Serengeti?

    +

    Around 1 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 96-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does 4 DayTanzania Great Wildebeest Migration Tour inside Serengeti 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.
