Safari Tanzania
This was definitely one of the best experiences of my life! I had a great time and met amazing people! Our tour guide and cook took really good care of all of us and made sure we had a beautiful stay. We saw all of the big 5 and many more thanks to the guide Emmanuel who tried his best to show us everything! I can really recommend this company! Thank you very much!

Stunning game tour!
We had a great time with Face of Africa. They took us for a two day safari, to Tanangire and then on to Ngorogoro Crater. Couldn’t have asked for more. The guide was relaxed and friendly, knew exactly what he was talking about - and could back up his animal identification with a digital picture on his phone so we really could comprehend what we were looking at. That was helpful for birds of prey especially, and we found plenty of big game as well. Plus, very comfy modern vehicles with a fridge and capacity to charge your phone, which was welcome. The accommodation we had was also very nice, helpful staff and good locations. The Crater in particular was stunning, and Face of Africa showed it to us in such a memorable way. Thanks, team!
Response from the operator: Dear Guy Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a wonderful review on google my business.

Face of Africa Adventures the perfect choise for Safari.
Our safari with Face of Africa Adventures was absolutely amazing and exceeded all of our expectations! Everything was perfectly organized from start to finish, making the entire experience stress-free and unforgettable. The food was excellent—fresh, delicious, and beautifully prepared every day. The organization was flawless, and the entire team was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and professional. A very special thank you goes to our safari guide, Lasselo, who was simply the best! His knowledge, experience, and incredible ability to spot wildlife made our safari truly exceptional. Thanks to him, we were lucky enough to see not only the Big Five but also the Ugly Five, which made the experience even more special. Every moment of this safari was worth it, and we couldn’t have asked for a better adventure. We highly recommend Face of Africa Adventures to anyone looking for an unforgettable safari experience. Thank you for creating memories that will stay with us forever!

The best Safari we could imagine
Booking a safari in Tanzania is not an easy decision because there are so many different options. We had one clear plan: we wanted to see the Ngorongoro Crater. However, organizing this from Zanzibar for just a 2-day safari was quite challenging. Many operators only offered 3-day safaris that included Ngorongoro Crater, while others were extremely expensive. Another important factor for us was that we wanted to spend only one night away from Zanzibar, and we also had a relatively small budget. In the end, I found that The Face of Africa could provide exactly what we were looking for. I got in touch with Hamadi and asked about prices and tours. From the very first minute, Hamadi was incredibly supportive. He offered us many different options, explained everything in detail, and answered all of our questions. Since we reached out quite close to our travel dates (just 2–3 weeks before), time was working against us. At first we weren’t 100% happy with the proposal, but Hamadi adjusted it several times until we were fully satisfied. In fact, we made our final decision only about a week before the safari, when we were already in Zanzibar. We did face a small issue with the payment process because our bank wouldn’t allow us to transfer money directly to the company’s account. Hamadi quickly provided us with a payment link so we could pay by credit card. This came with an additional charge, but it was the only feasible solution. Once the payment was completed, our trip was confirmed. On the morning of our flight we were picked up from the hotel. This is maybe the only point of criticism: the pick-up was scheduled quite late, and due to heavy traffic we almost missed our flight from Zanzibar to Arusha. We arrived just 25 minutes before departure, and the airport staff told us we were very late. They rushed us through security and straight onto the bus where all other passengers were already waiting. It was a close call. Not really Hamadi’s fault, but I would suggest scheduling pick-up at least half an hour earlier to avoid this stress. After landing in Arusha, we were greeted by our safari guide. He explained the plan for the day and even gave us a small gift from Hamadi — a cap and a water bottle from The Face of Africa. A very nice gesture. Our first stop was Tarangire National Park. It was a long drive, and we arrived around 10 or 11 a.m. to begin our safari. The experience was amazing — we saw lions, elephants, giraffes, zebras, monkeys, and more. Our guide made sure we got the most out of it, and we really enjoyed every moment. In the evening we drove to our hotel near Ngorongoro Crater. It was a small place still partly under construction, so the atmosphere was a little different than usual, but the staff went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed. The food was good, the rooms were clean, and the overall vibe was pleasant. We had a good night’s sleep before starting early the next morning for our second day at Ngorongoro. The crater safari was again absolutely breathtaking. We saw so many animals, and our guide was always attentive, answering our questions and taking us exactly where we wanted to go. It truly felt like a once-in-a-lifetime experience. On the way back to the airport, we stopped for food and then continued safely to our flight. Since Hamadi couldn’t meet us in person, he called us to check that everything was fine, which we really appreciated. The flight back to Zanzibar was on time, and upon arrival we were picked up at the airport without delay and returned safely to our hotel. All in all, the safari was perfectly organized, and we couldn’t have asked for more. If we had known in advance how incredible it would be, we would definitely have booked 3–4 days instead of just 2. It was one of the best experiences of our lives. We give this safari a clear 10/10. The price was a little high, but since it was a last-minute booking, that was to be expected. Booking earlier would certainly have been cheaper. We would like to thank Hamadi and The Face of Africa for everything they did for us. We will carry this safari in our hearts forever, and whenever someone asks me for a safari recommendation in Africa, I will always recommend The Face of Africa. I also hope to do another safari with them in the future.

I have been to Tanzania for wildlife safari thru face of Africa being our travel agent. As a wildlife photography enthusiastic our needs were bit different from regular tourist. All our expectations were well tajen care my the company. They even customized the safari vehicle to be photo friendly. The stay in each place was well arranged...the driver of our vehicle had giid knowledge about animal behavior and he was able to identify all the bird's. over all we had a awesome trip with great sighting. I would definitely recommend and use their service in my next visit to Tanzania and other place around since they cover Kenya and Uganda.

Why this scores 71
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
2 Days Wildlife game drives Through Tarangire and Ngorongoro Crater: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Arusha.
How much does 2 Days Wildlife game drives Through Tarangire and Ngorongoro Crater cost?
+
Prices start at $650 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 Wildlife game drives Through Tarangire 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 Wildlife game drives Through Tarangire and Ngorongoro Crater worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 71 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 13 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 Wildlife game drives Through Tarangire 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 Wildlife game drives Through Tarangire 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 Wildlife game drives Through Tarangire and Ngorongoro Crater?
+
Around 5 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 Wildlife game drives Through Tarangire 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?
+

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.
