    Best safari imaginable

    We had the most wonderful safari trip imaginable. The experience was great, we had a very experienced guide, Max, who showed us the best parts of Tanzania wildlife. We saw three river crossings, three times lions attack other animals, and of course the big five. I found Meru slopes because a friend also had booked a trip with them and he was very positive. Can only agree with him, our trip was amazing as well :) only tip I have is that you might want to check the food if you are vegetarian or vegan, most of the time it’s fine but for me lunch went wrong one time (after that Max was paying more attention to it to make sure it was correct the days after).

    A Trip of a Lifetime!

    Thank you Meru Slopes, Jerome and Max for a trip of a lifetime! We had the most incredible, well planned, trouble free Safari that we could have hoped for. It exceeded our expectations, in large part due to our amazing guide Max. He made sure we were comfortable, safe and saw absolutely everything. The Big Five and so much more. The Wildebeest river crossings were a sight to behold! We have already recommended Meru Slopes and Max to many friends and family.

    The perfect dream trip awaits at Meru Slopes Tours & Safaris.

    My husband and I just finished an 8-day, 7-night mid-range private safari. The experience exceeded our expectations. Ignus Titus, who arranged our itinerary, was incredibly dedicated and contactable day and night, resolving any issues immediately – truly thoughtful! 💖 Our guide and driver, Edgar Justinian, was extremely knowledgeable, possessing a wealth of information about animals, all national parks, and Tanzania's history and culture – better than Wikipedia! 👍 He took meticulous care of us, making us feel completely at ease. The hotels were also very comfortable, with a wide variety of delicious food. I highly recommend Meru Slopes Tours & Safaris. A five-star review! 👍💖

    Response from the operator: Thank you for your wonderful review. We’re delighted your safari exceeded expectations and that Ignus and Edgar made your experience so special with their dedication and knowledge. It’s great to hear you enjoyed the lodges and meals as well. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you again in Tanzania. Best regards, Meru Slopes Tours & Safaris Team

    Exceptional Safari Experience with Meru Slopes

    Our group of 11, ranging in age from 13 to 83, recently had an incredible safari experience in Tanzania with Meru Slopes, and we could not be more pleased with our choice. From the moment we arrived in Kilimanjaro until the time we left Tanzania, everything was exceptionally well organized and handled with genuine care. A huge thank you goes to Kelvin, the Meru Slopes manager who put our trip together and made sure everything ran smoothly. With a group this size and with changing dates and preferences along the way, there were plenty of opportunities for things to get complicated — but Kelvin was always responsive, flexible, and quick to accommodate our requests. His communication and attention to detail gave us tremendous confidence throughout the trip. Our two driver-guides, Douglas and Stanley, were absolutely outstanding. Their knowledge of Tanzania, the parks, wildlife, and animal behavior was remarkable. They seemed to know exactly where to go and when to go there, and they consistently got us into fantastic positions for wildlife viewing — often incredibly close to the animals. They were patient, professional, friendly, and clearly passionate about what they do. Having two excellent guides made such a difference to our experience. We spent five nights in safari lodges and three nights in tented camps, and we were very impressed with all of them. Everything was comfortable and had the modern conveniences we wanted while still giving us that wonderful feeling of being immersed in the African wilderness. The two customized Toyota Land Cruisers were another highlight. They were comfortable and well equipped with Wi-Fi, USB chargers, and coolers stocked with water, Coke, and Coke Zero — little touches that made long safari days much more enjoyable. And then there was the food! We were genuinely impressed by the safari lunches. These were not the typical sandwiches or basic boxed lunches you might expect. We enjoyed hot picnic lunches served with tablecloths, real plates and silverware, and even wine, beer, and soft drinks. Having a proper, delicious hot meal in the middle of the African bush was an experience in itself! We specifically chose a midrange safari, expecting good value and comfortable accommodations. What we got felt like something much closer to a five-star experience. The level of organization, service, guiding, accommodations, food, and attention to detail was exceptional — especially considering the very reasonable price. What impressed us most was how seamlessly Meru Slopes handled a group with such a wide range of ages and interests. From our youngest traveler at 13 to our oldest at 83, everyone felt comfortable, well looked after, and able to enjoy the adventure. Tanzania itself is an extraordinary destination, but having the right safari company makes all the difference. Meru Slopes exceeded our expectations in every way. Kelvin, Douglas, Stanley, and the entire team helped create a truly memorable trip for our family and friends. Excellent organization, outstanding guides, wonderful accommodations, fantastic food, comfortable vehicles, exceptional service, and incredible value. We would choose Meru Slopes again in a heartbeat and highly recommend them to anyone planning a Tanzanian safari. Five stars without hesitation!

    Response from the operator: Thank you for such an incredible review! It means so much to know that Kelvin, Douglas, Stanley, and the entire team helped make your family’s safari special for travelers of every age. We’re thrilled you enjoyed the lodges, camps, vehicles, and especially our bush lunches! Thank you for trusting Meru Slopes Tours & Safaris—we’d be delighted to welcome your family and friends back to Tanzania someday. Warm regards, Meru Slopes Tours & Safaris

    Best experience of our lives - Big 5, Great Migration and much more

    We have dreamed about visiting Tanzania for a long time, and we choose Meru Slopes for our Private 8-day tour because of the good reviews that we had read online. We are very happy with our choice, the trip couldn't be better!! We started our safari in Lake Manyara NP, where we were able to spot a lot of wildlife (baboons, giraffes, elephants, lions and much more). Then we continued with Serengeti NP, were we spotted hundreds of animals, inluding a close look to the Big Cats (lions, leopards, cheetas). At Serengeti we were also able to see the Great Migration, a marvel of nature, including witnessing the famous crossing of river Mara. Then we proceeded to Ngorongoro Crater, where we saw all the Big 5 in a span of minutes (including 5 Black Rhinos). The last park that we visited is Tarangire NP, the paradise of elephants and baobab trees. At the end of the trip we came home with hundreds of photos and videos (including stunning scenes like lioness hunting and river crossing), a lot of touching memories and the desire to come back again. The trip was very well organized, rooms were comfortable and food was delicious. All the staff was very friendly and welcoming. A special thanks goes to our driver and safari guide Omari, extremely expert in animals and also a very good company for the trip. The way he was able to spot all animals was magical. Also thanks to Almachius for assisting us with all our questions before the trip, with kindness and professionality. We highly reccomend this trip and tour operator for unforgettable memories, and will sure come back as soon as we can! Julia and Leonardo

    Response from the operator: Dear Julia and Leonardo, We truly appreciate you taking the time to share such a detailed and heartfelt account of your journey. Five rhinos in one crater visit is no small stroke of luck, and hearing that Omari made every sighting feel like magic says everything about why he's so loved by our guests. Safe to say, Tanzania has earned a place in your hearts, and we in turn have earned two future guests. Until next time! Warm regards, Meru Slopes Tours and Safaris

    8 Day Mid Range Serengeti Wildebeests Migration Tour: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does 8 Day Mid Range Serengeti Wildebeests Migration Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $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 8 Day Mid Range Serengeti Wildebeests Migration Tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 192 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 8 Day Mid Range Serengeti Wildebeests Migration Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 71 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 28 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 8 Day Mid Range Serengeti Wildebeests Migration Tour?

    +

    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 8 Day Mid Range Serengeti Wildebeests Migration Tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 192-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book 8 Day Mid Range Serengeti Wildebeests Migration Tour?

    +

    Around 10 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 192-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does 8 Day Mid Range Serengeti Wildebeests Migration Tour 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 8 Day Mid Range Serengeti Wildebeests Migration Tour?

    +

    Included: All accommodation (Unless listed as upgrade); Lunch; Dinner; All transportation; and Breakfast. Not included: Tips. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does 8 Day Mid Range Serengeti Wildebeests Migration Tour include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 2 listed pickup locations in and around Arusha. Be ready about 45 minutes before the start time.

    +

    It is offered in German, English, Italian, French and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for 8 Day Mid Range Serengeti Wildebeests Migration Tour?

    Is 8 Day Mid Range Serengeti Wildebeests Migration Tour wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +
