    Great safari filled with lion sightings

    We did a 6 day private safari with Meru Slopes. Gift Tembo helped us put together the perfect agenda and checked in with us multiple times throughout the trip to ask for feedback and ensure we were having a great time. Our guide, Samweli Bahane, helped us find all of the big 5 and many more lions than we thought we would see in the rainy season. Would absolutely recommend Meru Slopes to anyone traveling through Tanzania for safari.

    6 Days Safari Private - Highly recommended!

    We did the “6-Day Private Big 5 Mid Range Tour Safari” with Douglas As Guide. What an incredible safari — such emotions and breathtaking places. Everything was super well-organized, and Douglas is an amazing person, with outstanding experience and deep knowledge of the area and wildlife. The accommodations they arranged for us were exceptional, making the whole experience even more special. Honestly, I can’t think of a single negative point. Highly recommended!

    Excellent experience! Special thanks to our guide Max, who always got the best photo spots!

    We booked the 6-day private Big 5 Mid Range Tour Safari with Meru Slopes and it exceeded every expectation. From the start the communication with Kelvin, who handled our booking, was excellent. All our questions were answered quickly and also the payment process was easy and seemed safe. Our guide Max picked us up on the first morning and made us feel very comfortable. With 13 years of experience he knew the Tarangire National Park, the Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Crater inside out. He shared his deep knowledge of wildlife and ecosystems and always managed to place us in the absolute best viewing spots. Even when many cars gathered around an animal, Max managed to position us in pole position so that we had clear and close views while others were stuck behind. Thanks to him we saw all (!!) of the Big Five and much more, including a cheetah with four cubs, a leopard eating in a tree and large lion families chilling under the cars. And of course, many many more of all the animals that are living here. The safari jeep was well equipped with plenty of water, soft drinks, wine and beer. The lunch boxes were always very generous and delicious with local food. The accommodations were much better than we had expected. Every lodge and even the tented camp in the Serengeti offered modern, clean and comfortable rooms with excellent dinner and breakfast! The whole experience was worth every cent. The price was lower than other offers we found online and we cannot imagine that anyone else could have provided a better safari. We highly recommend Meru Slopes Tours and especially our guide Max who made this trip truly unforgettable.

    Trip of a lifetime! Best tour ever!

    We went on a 6-day Private Big 5 tour and cannot say enough how great of a trip it was. From start to finish we were 100% satisfied. It was a real pleasure to communicate with Kelvin who had seamlessly coordinated the trip and airport transport. We had a few changes to our flight itinerary to which Kelvin was very responsive. The driver was punctual and drove safely even in dark conditions. The safari itself was guided by Florian who I must say was excellent. He was a seasoned and patient driver who knew the parks inside out. He was often the first one to spot “key” animals such as lions and rhinos. Moreover, he knew the best viewpoint where we could clearly see and take nice photos of them. He gave us sufficient time to observe and was never rushed, yet completed the program easily. Thanks to his keen sight, we managed to see all the animals including the Big 5. He responded well to our questions and provided thorough explanation of not only the fauna, but also the Masai and Tanzanian culture. In a nutshell, he met all of our needs and demands. Highly recommend booking with Meru Slopes for those seeking the best safari tour.

    Private 6-Day Tanzania Big Five Wildebeest Migration Tour in Serengeti: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Private 6-Day Tanzania Big Five Wildebeest Migration Tour in Serengeti cost?

    +

    Prices start at $2,900 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 Private 6-Day Tanzania Big Five Wildebeest Migration Tour in Serengeti take?

    +

    Plan for about 144 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 Private 6-Day Tanzania Big Five Wildebeest Migration Tour in Serengeti worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 70 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 16 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 Private 6-Day Tanzania Big Five Wildebeest Migration Tour in 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 Private 6-Day Tanzania Big Five Wildebeest Migration Tour in Serengeti suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 144-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Private 6-Day Tanzania Big Five Wildebeest Migration Tour in Serengeti?

    +

    Around 6 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 144-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Private 6-Day Tanzania Big Five Wildebeest Migration Tour in 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.
