6 Day Migration Safari (Ngorogoro Crater Ndutu Central Serengeti





Description
Every year, the vast herds of wildebeest embark on a long-distance migration that coincide with the annual rain fall patterns and grass growth. Following the short rainy season in November, the herds of wildebeest arrive to the short-grass plains of the Serengeti around November. The short-grass plains are located in the area east and south of the Seronera, around Ndutu and the northern Ngorongoro Conservation area. Herds of wildebeest and zebra can be seen across these plains as they feed on the nutrient rich grasses. The majority of the wildebeest calve around February. They normally stay in the area till April and then start moving west towards to the Western Corridor of the Serengeti National Park.

This was the best trip of my life so far. I flew all the way from Australia, spending nearly two days traveling to reach the Serengeti, and every moment was worth it. Thanks to our amazing guide, Juma, we were lucky enough to see the Big Five! The drives could be long, but the excitement of spotting wildlife made us forget the time. Seeing these magnificent animals in their natural habitat was an unforgettable reminder of the beauty and vitality of life. Thank you, Juma, for making this dream come true!
Its very unforgettable experience
Our safari with Meru Slopes Tours & Safaris exceeded our expectations. Everything was well organized from start to finish, and communication before the trip was smooth and efficient. Our driver and guide, Juma, was outstanding. He was professional, knowledgeable, patient, and always made sure we had the best wildlife viewing opportunities. Thanks to his experience and dedication, we were fortunate enough to see all of the African Big Five, along with many other amazing animals. Throughout the trip, Juma shared interesting information about the wildlife, landscapes, and local culture, making the experience both exciting and educational. We also felt safe and well taken care of at all times. The entire tour offered excellent value for money, and we highly recommend Meru Slopes Tours & Safaris to anyone planning a safari in Tanzania. It was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and we would happily travel with them again.
We had an incredible 6-day Tanzania safari with Meru Slopes Tours & Safaris, and it truly exceeded all our expectations! A special thanks to Jerome, who patiently worked with us throughout the planning process. He listened to our interests, provided excellent suggestions, and helped us create the perfect itinerary covering Tarangire National Park, Serengeti National Park and the Ngorongoro Crater. His guidance ensured we experienced the very best Tanzania has to offer. Our safari guide, Jacob, was outstanding. His knowledge of the wildlife, animal behavior, and the unique characteristics of each species made every game drive both educational and exciting. We were amazed by the incredible variety of wildlife we encountered, and Jacob’s keen eye helped us witness unforgettable moments that left us in awe. He was warm, friendly, professional, and genuinely passionate about sharing the beauty of Tanzania with us. The accommodations were wonderful, beautifully located in the heart of nature, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in the safari experience. Waking up surrounded by the African wilderness was truly magical. The meals were also delicious, with a great variety of fresh and flavorful food that we looked forward to after each day’s adventure. From the breathtaking landscapes to the unforgettable wildlife encounters, every detail of our trip was thoughtfully planned and flawlessly executed. We highly recommend Meru Slopes Tours & Safaris to anyone planning a safari in Tanzania. Their professionalism, excellent communication, knowledgeable guides, comfortable accommodations, and outstanding service made this a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Thank you, Jerome and Jacob, for creating memories we will treasure forever!
We had an amazing 6-day safari with our guide, Ombeni, who is incredibly experienced and knowledgeable about the Serengeti. Thanks to him, we were fortunate enough to see the Big Five across the Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Everything was perfectly organized, from the tour arrangements to the meal planning. The mobile tented camps were excellent, and all the staff were exceptionally warm, welcoming, and attentive. We know the long daily drives were demanding, and we truly appreciate all your hard work, dedication, and effort throughout the past six days. Thank you for making this an unforgettable experience—we couldn't have asked for a better guide!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We spent 6 days and 5 nights exploring Tanzania, from Serengeti and Ngorongoro to Tarangire, and it turned out to be one of the most meaningful and unforgettable trips of our lives. A huge thank you to our guide, Nuru. Thanks to his incredible knowledge and sharp eyes, we saw everything we had hoped for—including the Big Five, the Ugly Five, and many other amazing animals. No matter what we asked, he always had an answer. He taught us not only about the animals and their behaviors, but also about Tanzanian culture, traditions, faith, and everyday life. You could truly feel how much he loves his country and his work, and because of him, we left Tanzania with a much deeper appreciation for this beautiful place and its people.“ if we couldn’t finish it, we share it with others instead”.It was a simple lesson, but one that stayed with us long after the trip ended. He also found the perfect spots for wildlife viewing and breathtaking sunsets, and even helped us take some of our favorite photos from the trip. A special thank you to Leonard, who gave us an excellent price and organized everything seamlessly from the lodges and flights to our helicopter experience. Everything exceeded our expectations. There are many safari companies in Tanzania, but it’s rare to find people who genuinely care about creating a meaningful experience for their guests. This wasn’t just a safari. It was a journey we’ll remember for the rest of our lives.
We enjoyed our first safari experience with Meru Slopes! Kelvin created a perfect itinerary for us to visit all the national parks in Tanzania and included a cultural village tour with a coffee experience on the last day, because we said we were interested in coffee. He was also very responsive on WhatsApp and answered our queries readily. He also constantly checked in and ensured that our tour ran smoothly and safely for the week. Our guide Jackson Leyeyo is wonderful. He has a sharp eye and spotted the animas that we wanted to see at the safari. We were able to catch the big five in this trip thanks to him! He always gave us ample time to take pictures of the animals before filling us up on facts about the animal. Another thing we appreciated during the tour was having hot food during lunch. It was delicious and kept us full for the duration of the game drive. Unfortunately our jeep broke down on the second last day and we were stranded for a bit in Ngorongoro, and Jackson tried his best to fix the car. The car could not be fixed but Jackson arranged for us to join another group for the final game drive in Ngorongoro. He ensured our safety during the situation and handled the car issue while we were still able to complete the last game drive. After the game drive, Meru Slopes also arranged a private transfer to take us back to Arusha from Ngorongoro. We were very pleased with how Meru Slopes handled the situation. Overall, we are pleased with Meru Slopes’ tour and service. It made our safari trip a truly memorable experience.
6 unforgettable days, perfect organization by Tembo gift always present until the last; Patrick was our guide, a really special and competent person who made us feel always safe.
We had an absolutely incredible safari. Our guide, Mudi, was very knowledgeable. We definitely recommend Meru Slopes and if you are fortunate to have Mudi as your guide then you'll have a once-in-a-lifetime experience!
I have traveled many parts of the world, and this experience is near the very top of the list. Meru was fantastic to work with - Almachis the director was extremely fast to respond and answer any questions. Our guide, Robert, couldn’t have been more excellent. From morning until night, everyday, he was working to ensure we had an incredible experience. From ensuring we had incredible views to making sure wildlife didn’t nab our lunch, he was always on job and professional. Additionally, he had an incredible amount of knowledge about the wildlife and their habits. Couldn’t recommend more highly
