A wonderful journey

A truly perfect and healing trip. Special thanks to our guide Samwel for his thoughtful, attentive care and his professional, safe driving skills. He sincerely introduced all the animals to us with great knowledge and patience. Extremely professional and detail-oriented. A wonderful journey—highly recommended!

Amazing experience

We have just returned from a wonderful safari with Meru slopes. I cannot recommend this company highly enough. Right from my first contact with Gift who arranged our trip, the communication was fantastic. The tour felt well organised. We opted for the mid range safari and the tented camps were very comfortable and welcoming. The food was amazing and the rooms were spacious with private bathrooms. Our guide was Nuru. He is friendly and very knowledgeable about the animals and the area. He arranged our itinerary and was fantastic at being in the right place to see the most popular animals. He managed our different interests very well, mine is photography and my husband enjoys birdwatching. He has extensive knowledge of birds. His driving skills and professionalism was outstanding. Book a trip with a local company and ask for Nuru!

One of the most incredible experiences of my life.

One of the most incredible experiences of my life. We spent one day in Tarangire, three days between Serengeti and Ndutu to witness the Great Migration, and one day in Ngorongoro, and everything was perfect. Our guide, Salehe, was extremely knowledgeable, answered all our questions, and made us feel in excellent hands—much of this amazing experience is thanks to him. The locations were stunning, and even in the tented lodges within the parks, the services and staff were top-notch. The organization was flawless, and everyone was very accommodating, even to needs that went beyond the safari itself.

Highly recommend Meru Slopes for a brilliant safari experience

This was our first safari experience and first time in Africa. From early planning stages Meru Slopes were very communicative and quick to address any questions or concerns. They made life very easy by arranging airport transfers from Kilimanjaro and accommodation in Arusha before and after safari. Our guide, Jacob, made the safari experience incredible! He was extremely knowledgeable on both wildlife and the national parks themselves. He was very diligent and had a brilliant eye for spotting animals, ensuring that we saw both the Big Five and the Ugly Five as well as a Wildebeest Migration and Cheetahs. Jacob was a great host during our time on safari with a brilliant sense of humour.

5-Days Private Serengeti Wildebeest Migration Lodge Safaris: questions travelers ask

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

How much does 5-Days Private Serengeti Wildebeest Migration Lodge Safaris cost?

+

Prices start at $2,300 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 5-Days Private Serengeti Wildebeest Migration Lodge Safaris take?

+

Plan for about 120 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 5-Days Private Serengeti Wildebeest Migration Lodge Safaris worth it?

+

It holds an Outty Ranking of 69 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 13 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 5-Days Private Serengeti Wildebeest Migration Lodge Safaris?

+

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 5-Days Private Serengeti Wildebeest Migration Lodge Safaris suitable for kids and families?

+

The operator sets a minimum age of 16. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 120-hour running time when deciding.

How far in advance should I book 5-Days Private Serengeti Wildebeest Migration Lodge Safaris?

+

Around 5 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 120-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

Where does 5-Days Private Serengeti Wildebeest Migration Lodge Safaris 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.

What is included in 5-Days Private Serengeti Wildebeest Migration Lodge Safaris?
