We were in Tanzania on a 6 day Safari tour. The whole experience was amazing.
The wildlife we were able to see was above and beyond our expectations! We had an awesome encounter with all big 5. And zebras, wildebeest, baboons!
The variety of birds is incredible.
The amount of effort and resources Tanzania puts into preserving the ecosystem in their national parks is astounding. It was a great trip! We saw and learned so much. Thank you!

From the animal experiences to the scenery and food, we couldn't ask for a better trip. Meru Slopes handled all the logistics to make our trip stress free and memorable.

An Unforgettable First Journey and a Thousand Reasons to Return

5 / 5 5 /5
5 / 5 5 / 5 5 / 5 5 / 5
Returning from an unforgettable tour of the northern parks—a circuit I consider mandatory for a first trip to Tanzania—I wanted to share my impressions. While a scorching summer was raging in Europe at the end of August, to our pleasant surprise, the air in the Serengeti was crisp and fresh, so much so that we slept under a duvet. The accommodations in the tented camps were beyond our expectations. This wasn’t our first safari, so we weren’t actively hunting for the Big Five (though crossing paths with them again happened, and it’s always a pleasure!). Instead, we longed to witness the sheer scale of the wildlife, and we were more than satisfied: we saw entire valleys filled with buffaloes, as well as wildebeests and zebras in full migration. We also deeply appreciated the smaller residents—diurnal, nocturnal, and crepuscular—spotting the serval, the genet, and the civet, alongside countless bird species that filled every ecosystem.Beyond the safaris, however, I was deeply
Read more struck by the creative craftsmanship of the Tanzanian people, put so beautifully to use in art and local crafts. I saw so many hard-working people designing and making objects from wood, metal, fabric, and straw. With such vibrant businesses and trade everywhere, I have no doubt this country has a bright future ahead. In this landscape, women represent a massive driving force behind the country's industrious spirit, actively involved in countless fields, including many non-traditional roles.Tanzania does not rely on a single tourist hub; it offers countless distinct environments to explore. The landscapes are immense, with a continuous shift of ever-changing colors. Moreover, the local communities preserve unique customs and languages, and getting to know them touched and enriched us deeply, inspiring us to learn even more about the country.We will certainly return to explore the wide new array of natural parks and meet the people who inhabit them. I would love to see the blooms in Kitulo, search for the wild African violet and chameleons in the Usambara Mountains, and visit both the mainland coast and the islands. I want to look out over Lake Victoria and reach Rubondo Island to see monkeys and chimpanzees, or board the historic vessel on Lake Tanganyika to reach Gombe. And then there is the immense Nyerere National Park in the south, where I hope to find the Pel’s Fishing Owl among its numerous bird species, as well as I dream of trekking with the Maasai at Lake Natron or take a bike or motorbike tour somewhere, I don’t think one or two trips will ever be enough. Everywhere we went, we felt genuinely welcomed, and we are so glad to have spent a chapter of our lives in Tanzania.

had a five day safari in Tanzania (got reduced to 4 days at last minute due to a Airport strike in Narobi)
Safari was with Suricata Safaris
They rejigged our Safari with 24 hr notice - not a problem
Safari was very well organised and facilities, especially accommodation, was fair better than I was expecting - which was a bonus
Our drive was Ally (or might have been Alley)
He was excellent. Very accommodating, very knowledgeable about all things Safari and Tanzania
Would recommend highly

The journey of a lifetime

Tanzania was an extraordinary destination for our first safari: we had the opportunity to visit several parks, each with unique landscapes and an impressive abundance of wildlife.
We were especially thrilled by Central Serengeti, where we were lucky enough to see all the big cats at very close range, experiencing truly unforgettable emotions. In Northern Serengeti, we witnessed the great migration of the wildebeests; at Lake Manyara, we saw several species of monkeys; and in Tarangire, we encountered zebras, elephants, and giraffes.
Another place with breathtaking scenery was the Ngorongoro Crater, the only park where it’s possible to see the white rhinoceros.
Each park left us with unforgettable memories, unique encounters, and documentary‑worthy photographs.
Tanzania gifted us one of the most beautiful trips we’ve ever taken.

The local people loved teaching us about their country and showing us all Tanzania had to offer. We felt safe and well cared for at every stop. I still can't believe we saw over 30 different kinds of animals, some of them so close we could have reached out and touched them! If you want a country with tons of things to see and do, Tanzania will keep you busy.

The whole country seems to be one big wildlife reserve.

An extraordinary experience although the Serengeti has become far to commercialised.
There are far too many vehicles and when a crossing or kill is broadcast it becomes a race which can be very dangerous.
