An unforgettable safari with Meru Slopes and our amazing guide Ombeni

We had a wonderful safari with Meru Slopes! 🐾 From the itinerary planning to the accommodation arrangements, everything was thoughtfully organised. The team was professional, responsive, and always happy to help. The pricing was reasonable, and the entire trip ran smoothly from start to finish. 🌟 A special thank you to our guide, Ombeni, who truly made this trip unforgettable. With over 10 years of guiding experience, he was incredibly knowledgeable and had an amazing eye for spotting wildlife. He could spot even tiny animals far in the distance that we would never have noticed ourselves! Whenever we casually mentioned an animal we hoped to see, he remembered and kept an eye out for it. 📸 Ombeni also knew exactly where to position the vehicle, giving us fantastic views and wonderful photo opportunities. One of the biggest highlights was witnessing the wildebeest river crossing just five minutes after arriving that morning. We felt incredibly lucky! 🦓 🌿 His knowledge of the animals, their behaviour, and the local plants was impressive. Whatever we asked, he always had an insightful answer. Each day’s route was thoughtfully planned, and his kind, friendly personality made spending time with him a real pleasure. We came home with amazing photos and even better memories. Highly recommend Meru Slopes, and especially Ombeni, to anyone planning a safari! ❤️

Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your lovely review! We’re delighted that everything went smoothly and that Ombeni made your safari so memorable with his knowledge, kindness, and incredible wildlife spotting. Witnessing the wildebeest river crossing must have been truly special! We hope to welcome you back to Tanzania for another unforgettable adventure. Warm regards, Meru Slopes Tours & Safaris

Amazing Tanzania Safari with our fantastic guide Patrick!

Amazing Tanzania Safari with our fantastic guide Patrick! We booked this safari last minute in mid-September for a late-September trip, and we were so impressed with the whole arrangement. Our journey started with Tarangire National Park on day one, then we headed to Serengeti. We spent 4 nights in Serengeti: 3 nights in central Serengeti and 1 night in northern Serengeti. At the end of our trip, we visited Ngorongoro Crater, which was absolutely stunning. We highly recommend spending more time exploring Ngorongoro Crater, it is breathtaking. We were incredibly lucky to witness the great wildebeest migration. We spotted plenty of big cats including lions, leopards and cheetahs. We successfully saw the Big Five, the Ugly Five and Super Seven all on this trip! The tented camps we stayed at were really comfortable. Our guide Patrick is absolutely brilliant with 19 years of safari experience. He is extremely knowledgeable and skilled at locating wildlife, getting us wonderful close-up sightings every day. He made our daily schedule relaxed and pleasant, and treated us like friends, making us feel at home. He is incredibly attentive and careful. He always reminded us of important details, and never missed any belongings we left behind in our rooms. I even lost my glasses during the trip, and Patrick helped me find them! I highly recommend Patrick as your safari guide. This was an unforgettable African adventure.

Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing such wonderful memories! We’re thrilled you enjoyed the migration and incredible wildlife sightings. Patrick will be delighted to hear your kind words, especially that his care and experience made you feel at home. We hope to welcome you back to Tanzania! Warm regards, Meru Slopes Tours & Safaris

Unforgettable 7 day safari

We did the 7 day (5 full day) tour of Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro tour lead by Ombeni. Where to start, for the price ($6900 for 3 of us) it was nothing short of spectacular - at most of the accommodations it felt more like a luxury tour than the mid range one we paid for. Ombeni listened exactly to what we wanted, stopping at the best viewpoints, and managed to ensure we saw the big 5 plus a bonus of cheetahs and even spotted a Serval! Expect a lot of driving on bumpy roads, but it’s all worth it when you see the animals - plus the scenery is nothing short of spectacular, particularly in Ngorongoro and the serengheti. All the national parks have distinct scenery which kept the drives interesting. We also opted to do the Masai village and I for one was expecting it to be loaded with tourists but we were the only tourists there when we arrived and had a welcome dance and shown around the village by the village leader.

Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing your wonderful experience! We’re delighted Ombeni helped make your safari so memorable, from incredible wildlife sightings to your authentic Maasai village visit. We truly appreciate your trust in Meru Slopes and hope to welcome you back to Tanzania! Warm regards, Meru Slopes Tours & Safaris

Fabulous Trip and Exceptional Guide

We had a terrific experience with Meru Slopes and especially Gift Tembo and our guide Julius. Both were incredibly attentive and genuinely invested in our receiving an exceptional experience. We had numerous close encounters with Africa’s big game - it was truly remarkable. Additionally it was our 40th Wedding Anniversary which they ensured was celebrated at every lodge. Once in a lifetime trip! Thank you Gift and Julius!

Response from the operator: Thank you very much for your wonderful review! We’re delighted that Gift and Julius helped make your 40th wedding anniversary truly unforgettable. It was a pleasure celebrating this special milestone with you and creating such memorable safari experiences. We truly appreciate your trust in Meru Slopes. Warm regards, Meru Slopes Tours & Safaris

Exceptional Safari Experience with MeruSlopes

I highly recommend MeruSlope Tours and Safari! I initially found our tour itinerary on Safaribookings.com and was connected with our travel coordinator, Gift Tambo. Gift was incredibly accommodating throughout the planning process. When we requested to add a night in the Northern Serengeti to our original itinerary, he arranged it immediately. He even managed a last-minute request for an Arusha City Tour on very short notice. Our guide, Patrick, was exceptionally professional and brought over 10 years of experience to our trip. His eagle eyes spotted so many animals along the way. We saw a huge variety of wildlife, including the Big Five, many types of birds and even three different species of mongooses! To top it off, we got to witness the Great Migration in the Northern Serengeti, which was an absolute highlight. Huge thanks to Gift and Patrick for an incredible, stress-free adventure. Don't hesitate to book with MeruSlopes!

Response from the operator: Thank you very much for your excellent review and recommendation. We’re delighted that Gift made your planning flexible and stress-free, especially with the added Northern Serengeti night and last-minute Arusha city tour. We’re equally pleased that Patrick’s experience and keen eye helped you discover the Big Five, diverse wildlife, and the Great Migration. We truly appreciate your trust and look forward to welcoming you back to Tanzania. Kind regards, Meru Slopes Tours & Safaris

Who is 7 Days Private Serengeti Wildebeest Migration Tour best for?

+

It suits families and couples best, based on its 168-hour length, all-ages access and free cancellation up to 24 hours before.

How much does 7 Days Private Serengeti Wildebeest Migration Tour cost?

How long does 7 Days Private Serengeti Wildebeest Migration Tour take?

+

Plan for about 168 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 7 Days Private Serengeti Wildebeest Migration Tour worth it?

+

It holds an Outty Ranking of 88 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 79 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.

Is 7 Days Private Serengeti Wildebeest Migration Tour suitable for kids and families?

+

Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 168-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

How far in advance should I book 7 Days Private Serengeti Wildebeest Migration Tour?

+

Around 28 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 168-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

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.
