Serengeti National Park

Day 1

Serengeti National Park

You will take an air transfer to Serengeti National Park, depending on whether you are going to Arusha, Dar es Salaam, or Zanzibar. The air transfer for this particular excursion departs from Arusha. We are able to change the air transfer cost if you are flying from a different location. There is nothing like the Serengeti. It is well-known for its expansive grasslands, which provide great opportunities to see wildlife. For millions of years, its vegetation and climate have not changed. The yearly great migration is the Serengeti's most well-known event, despite its wealth of animals. Every year, a great number of wildebeest travel across the land in search of new grazing, accompanied by a sizable number of zebras and antelopes. Every year, the patterns of rainfall determine the exact time of the migration. You'll stay at Serengeti National Park for two nights.

Day 3

Serengeti National Park to Ngorongoro Crater

Our last wildlife drive in Serengeti National Park will begin after breakfast. Following lunch inside the park, you will make your way directly to the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. You may unwind, have dinner, and get a nice night's sleep in the lodging on the crater rim.

Ngorongoro Crater

Day 4

Ngorongoro Crater

You will descend 600 meters (2000 feet) to the crater floor after breakfast. At first glance, the Ngorongoro Crater appears to be a lost planet. A virgin environment is hidden behind the towering volcanic walls, expansive savannah, acacia woodland enclaves, and shimmering lakes and swamps. The crater was formed two to three million years ago when a massive volcano burst and fell in on itself. It's an experience to drive down the crater, and once you get to the crater floor, you'll soon be surrounded by over 500 different species of birds, zebras, gazelles, and wildebeest. The best chance of sighting the endangered black rhinos, which is occasionally seen on the open grasslands, is in the crater. You will have a lengthy game drive and lunch at the picnic site.

Tarangire National Park

Day 5

Tarangire National Park

You'll leave for Tarangire National Park early in the morning after breakfast. The Tarangire River flows through the park, hence its name. The 'River of Warthogs' is the only source of water for wildlife in the area during the dry season. There are areas with a lot of flora, such as a luxuriant groundwater forest, acacia forests, and elephant grass. Elephant families, which frequently gather along the river, are the park's most famous feature. Additionally, you might spot hartebeest, bushbucks, and giraffes. Lions and leopards are among the many predators that closely follow these animals. Tarangire National Park is home to more bird species than any other place on Earth! Following a long game drive and lunch, you'll make your way to our opulent partner lodge. Mid-range lodge located inside Tarangire NP All meals included All drinks (Except for spirits/liquor)

We did a 4 days tour in Ndutu + Ngorongoro Crater during calving season and it has been amazing! The quality of service is perfect: good car, tasty food, patient and experienced guide (John), accommodation at Misako Migration Camp was wonderful. Full immersion into the nature, we had a beautiful experience there and the agence had been a great support to make it real, thank you Jerome for this service!

A First Trip to Africa That Stole Our Hearts - Thank You, Meru Slopes!

Our 7-day safari with Meru Slopes Tours & Safaris for the wildebeest calving season was truly the trip of a lifetime! From our first interaction, Gift was incredible, meticulously planning every detail of our private itinerary and making us feel completely at ease. I wanted to choose a company based in Tanzania and Gift answered every question I had. The level of personal care was outstanding. Josef, our transfer driver, made our arrival and transitions through Arusha effortless. Gift met us on our arrival night to discuss logistics and answer any questions we had. He encouraged us to learn by asking, about Africa and Tanzania. Our game drive guide and driver, Jacob, was the absolute star of the trip. Whether we were navigating the rugged, baobab-filled landscapes of Tarangire or descending into the Ngorongoro Crater, his expertise ensured we had the best possible views of the Big Five. We felt incredible in his skilled hands throughout the entire journey. The accommodations Gift chose for us were perfect and varied: * Under the Shade Safari Lodge (Arusha): A peaceful base to start and end our trip. The hospitality was warm, and it was the perfect place to relax after our flights. * Farm of Dreams Lodge (Karatu): We loved the quiet, palm-fringed grounds. The rooms were spacious and spotless, and beautifully done. The hospitality warmed us. * Ngorongoro Lion’s Paw Camp: This was a highlight! Staying right on the crater rim with such luxurious safari tents was magical. The views from the terrace were breathtaking, sounds of the jungle surrounded us and the food in the restaurant was exceptional. * Kontiki Ndutu Camp: Nestled right in the heart of Ndutu, this camp put us in the perfect position to experience the calving season. It felt authentic and high-end, and the courtesy of the staff was second to none. Across all locations, the cleanliness, comfort, hospitality, and food including the open-air picnic lunches in the wild were beyond yum. We slept incredibly well each night. Jacob’s patience and enthusiasm were the reasons our trip was so successful. He drove us deep into the heart of Ndutu, ensuring we didn't just see animals, but experienced their world. The wildlife sightings were staggering! We saw: The Big Five in all their glory, tons of elephants in Tarangire. Multiple Lion prides and several Leopards (including cubs!), Multiple Cheetahs, including a thrilling cheetah chase and a cheetah and leopard with their kills. The Wildebeest Migration with so many young ones was incredible to see. Rare sightings like the Honey Badger, golden Jackals, Hippos, Rhinos, Giraffes, and Flamingos, and Nature in action as we watched different kinds of Vultures and Marabou Storks fighting over carrion and Hyenas and multiple species of Eagles watching closely. At Kontiki Camp, we were surrounded by Zebras! What truly touched our hearts were the intimate first anniversary celebrations the teams organized for us at both Farm of Dreams and Kontiki. Those surprises were so thoughtful and will remain unforgettable moments for us. The food was fantastic throughout, the cleanliness was impeccable, and the genuine courtesy of everyone we met made us feel so welcome. We are already planning to come back with our entire family and will definitely be choosing Meru Slopes to plan the trip. Thank you, Gift and Jacob, for making our first anniversary so special! We are already looking forward to our next adventure.

Incredible trip!

Our safari in Tanzania with Meru Slopes Tours and Safaris was an unforgettable experience. This trip was especially meaningful as I travelled with my grandmother, and the team took such great care of us. Our consultant, Leonard Mkwavi was very helpful and attentive, our guide, Max Elisa Ayo was fantastic, knowledgeable, friendly, and made the experience truly special. Everything was perfectly organised, the accommodation and food were excellent, and we were lucky enough to see all the animals we hoped for. I would highly recommend Meru Slopes Tours and Safaris to anyone considering a safari in Tanzania.
