Simba Adventures is Fantastic!
Ally, the owner, is the best. One of the easiest to arrange tours and frequent communications were much appreciated. We chose Simba Adventures among so many other tours due to the specific desires of my family and opportunity to do glamping during this 2 day safari. Ally arranged everything and made sure we had a first class experience. From the excellent vehicle, accommodation, ensuring we had the best guide (Sadi) as well as a safe tour over all. Sadi drove very safely on the busy roads and in the parks. He had excellent insight into where to go. He was also able to arrange an unforgettable Masi one hour village visit where we danced, engaged village elders, went in the huts, and bought some souvenirs with a donation to the village to get much needed clean water. We saw the big 5 thanks to Sadi spotting the elusive Leopard which seems to be the last in the big 5 to see each time. You will be very happy if you experience what my family were able to see and do with Simba Adventures!

Some unfortunate mishaps, although the itineray and the guides were excellent.
Two giant issues: 1. I paid for two tickets - one for me and one for my son. The morning of pickup they told us that our booking was "amended" (not by me) and my son was dropped from the trip. There wasn't two seats in the truck we were supposed to be in, so we got moved to another truck for the first day. Also apparently a woman, who booked a one day tour shouldn't have been in the original truck and wouldn't leave (she sat in a seat) and the tour operator wouldn't/couldn't do anything about it, so we got screwed. 2. The trucks don't have working seatbelts in most of the seats (I wouldn't book with them again for that reason and will check ahead of time regarding functioning seatbelts). The roads are very dangerous and I was VERY uncomfortable for most of the trip. "it's Africa" isn't an excuse. I have been on other tours in Africa and the trucks were well-equipped.

Unforgettable adventure
It was the most interesting trip in all my staying in Zanzibar. The picture from BBC animal world has been alive. We were happy to see all “big 5”. And I should thank so much to our guide Saadi for unforgettable adventure. He knows everything about animals, gave us lots of information. His sense of humor, kindness and professionalism made our trip absolutely wonderful. If you are going to safari choose Simba safari and Saadi as a guide.
Response from the operator: Hi Elena, Your dreams has now turned to reality. Thank you for sharing such a great feedback. We are happy to hear that your trip went beyond your expectations! It is our hope that you will recommend our service to your friends. Cheers, Ally

Great experience!!!
Simba Adventures gave us (two young students from Germany) a very good last minute offer for a two days Safari to Ngorongoro and Tarangire. So we accepted and had two amazing days. Our guide Saadi showed us all the big five and gave his best to create us an unforgettable trip. We also had one night in the Panorama View Camp, whose friendly stuff created us a wonderful African dinner. All in all we made a great experience which we will never forget. Simba Adventures seemed us to be a very well organized little company which we can recommend at best for Safari in Tanzania.
Response from the operator: Dear Janosch, Thank you for this wonderful comment, excellency is always our top most. Glad that you choose our company and we hope to see you back some days for the next adventure.

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
2-Days Safari Tarangire Park and Ngorongoro Crater: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Arusha.
How much does 2-Days Safari Tarangire Park and Ngorongoro Crater cost?
+
Prices start at $550 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 2-Days Safari Tarangire Park and Ngorongoro Crater take?
+
Plan for about 48 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 2-Days Safari Tarangire Park and Ngorongoro Crater worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 67 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 7 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 2-Days Safari Tarangire Park and Ngorongoro Crater?
+
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 2-Days Safari Tarangire Park and Ngorongoro Crater suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 48-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 2-Days Safari Tarangire Park and Ngorongoro Crater?
+
Around 2 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 48-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 2-Days Safari Tarangire Park and Ngorongoro Crater 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 2-Days Safari Tarangire Park and Ngorongoro Crater?
+
Included: Private transportation; Airport Transfer; Lunch; All Fees and Taxes; and Dinner. Not included: Beverage drinks; Tips; and Personal items. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does 2-Days Safari Tarangire Park and Ngorongoro Crater include hotel pickup?
+
