Unforgettable safari.
It was a fantastic experience thanks to Meru Slopes' excellent organization. Slopes Leonard assisted us during the planning and defined a perfect itinerary for our needs. Everything was extremely precise and comfortable, from the airport pick-up to the final drop-off. Moody was our guide throughout the Safari and knew how to show us all the most beautiful areas of Tarangire, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro. Thanks to him, we saw all the big 5 as well as wildebeests, cheetahs, antelopes, zebras, hyenas, and everything the parks have to offer. The Serena lodges are well-maintained and in magnificent locations Thank you Leonard and Moody, a fantastic experience!!
Response from the operator: Grazie mille per la vostra bellissima recensione! Siamo felici che tutto sia stato ben organizzato e confortevole. Leonard e Moody saranno davvero contenti di sapere di aver reso il vostro safari speciale. Speriamo di rivedervi presto in Tanzania!

The great migration
An Amazing Safari Experience I had an incredible safari experience and would highly recommend this team to anyone traveling to Tanzania! Our guide Joel was absolutely fantastic—knowledgeable, responsible, and genuinely funny. Thanks to him, we were the first to spot a leopard resting in a tree, and he always found us amazing viewing spots. Within the first two days in the Serengeti, we had already seen almost all the animals on our list, and we were incredibly lucky to witness the wildebeest migration! Edson, our driver, was also amazing. He was not only a great driver but also always knew where to find authentic, delicious, and affordable local food, which made the trip feel much more local and memorable. And a big thank you to Ignas, who was incredibly responsive and responsible throughout the trip. Whether I messaged him at 5 AM or midnight, he always replied quickly and helped me find a solution. Everything was well organized from start to finish, and the whole experience exceeded my expectations. I would definitely recommend this team to anyone planning a safari in Tanzania!
Response from the operator: Thank you for your wonderful review we’re delighted your safari exceeded expectations. Joel, Edson, and Ignas will truly appreciate your kind words. We hope to welcome you again. Warm regards, Meru Slopes Tours & Safaris

Perfectly organized and with the best guide you could wish for!
Our 7-day safari in Tanzania was simply an unforgettable experience and definitely one of the most beautiful adventures we have ever had. From the pickup at the airport to the last day, everything was excellently organized. All transfers went smoothly and the selected lodges were beautiful. The staff at every accommodation was exceptionally friendly, warm, and made sure that we felt comfortable at all times. A big thank you goes to Leonard Mkwavi for the great organization of the trip. However, our guide Elbarik deserves the greatest praise. With his warm, humorous, and incredibly friendly manner, he made our safari something very special. His knowledge of Tarangire National Park, the Serengeti, the Ngorongoro Crater, and Lake Manyara National Park was impressive. He always knew exactly where the animals were, and thanks to his experience, we were able to observe an incredible number of animals – including some rare species. At the same time, he explained many exciting things to us about the wildlife, nature, and the national parks, so that every game drive was a real highlight. Throughout the entire trip, you could tell how much Elbarik loves his job and with how much passion he is committed to giving his guests unforgettable moments. Exactly this passion made our safari a unique experience. We can unreservedly recommend this safari and the entire team. Thank you very much for this perfect trip – we will remember this wonderful week for a long time and hope to return to Tanzania one day.

Amazing Big 5 honeymoon safari
My husband and I booked the '7-Day Honeymoon & Serena Experience to Big 5 Safari' with Meru Slopes and had an amazing time. We worked with Almachius for the booking, and the entire process was seamless. The safari itself exceeded our expectations. We visited three national parks—the Serengeti, Ngorongoro, and Tarangire. Our guide, Patrick, was incredibly knowledgeable, sharing fascinating insights about the wildlife and successfully helping us spot the Big 5! We stayed in four different Serena hotels, where the accommodations were wonderful and the staff went above and beyond to make our honeymoon special. . I would definitely recommend Meru Slopes for an unforgettable safari experience.

7 Days Serena Experience to Serengeti Great Migration: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Arusha.
How much does 7 Days Serena Experience to Serengeti Great Migration cost?
+
Prices start at $400 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 7 Days Serena Experience to Serengeti Great Migration 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 Serena Experience to Serengeti Great Migration worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 76 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 14 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 7 Days Serena Experience to Serengeti Great Migration?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 144 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is 7 Days Serena Experience to Serengeti Great Migration 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 Serena Experience to Serengeti Great Migration?
+
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 168-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 7 Days Serena Experience to Serengeti Great Migration 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.
