A fantastic experience, in an iconic place on the planet, with a five-star agency.
THE JOURNEY Our journey began in Zanzibar. The company arranged for us to fly directly to the Serengeti. At Seronera Airport, which hosts small domestic flights, we met our guide: Julias, who took us to the most iconic nature park in the world. THE GUIDE Julias told us all about the animals we met, from the warthog to the lion to the rhino, the elephant and I'm not going to number them all. He has an incredible knowledge of the park and animal habits and this allowed us to see all the animals present in the Serengeti and Ngorongoro area. He explained their behaviors: why they migrate, why different species are together and how they help each other and so on. I had already heard something in various documentaries but its preparation is really worth it. He was also attentive to all our needs and also took care to help us make contact with the post safari accommodation. THE MACHINE Ours was a private tour so we enjoyed the comfort of the car all to ourselves but it was really big and comfortable even for six people. THE HOUSING The first Lodge we slept in was in the Serengeti, inside the park. A beautiful tented camp. The tent looked like an extra luxury room with a shower and hot water but we are in the park and it is correct towards those who live there not to overdo the use of water that is always little. But if you want there is also a bathtub:D The second was just outside the Ngorongoro in Karatu town. It's nothing short of gorgeous, with the pool and everything you could wish for. ASSISTANCE Kiliclimb was really so attentive to every detail. Since before booking he answered all our questions with professionalism and kindness. They explained in detail what to bring and how to dress. What the trip would be like and where we would stay. Everything they told us turned out to be correct in every detail so we had no surprises. After the safari we stayed in touch and they were concerned about how our stay in Arusha was going until we returned home to Italy. THE VILLAGE MASAI Between the Serengeti and Ngorongoro there are several Maasai villages. We had the pleasure of visiting one. Obviously they are used to welcoming tourists, with their Welcoming dance (which they made us do too!) and with small artifacts that you can buy to help the village sustain itself. It is evident that this is a Welcoming addressed to tourists but they are very proud of their way of life and have told us how their day and their life in general unfolds. The youngest of them speak English as well as Swhaili and answered all our questions about their lifestyle. Then since I was Italian they asked me about the Pope:D THE SAFARI I had the pleasure of visiting an iconic place. It's a place I've heard about my whole life, from the first nature documentaries I saw as a child. Seeing him live was moving. The spaces are so large that a dot “down there” is a herd of elephants! I was afraid to have the feeling of being a disturbance to the animals but they are absolutely quiet and respected by both the park managers and the drivers themselves. In this regard, I would like to emphasize that in no park you can do the off-piste just so as not to disturb the animals, which however often and willingly cross you spontaneously the road! In short, an experience that those who are passionate about animals must do at least once in their lives. The only real problem is that once done you want to do it again. THE PHOTOS A tip for those who love photography but are not a professional like me. I used for the photos I attach a nikon 70-300 lens. The sky was almost always cloudy so even at dawn and dusk the colors were not so great but we didn't even have too hard shadows during the day. If you are not as experienced as me consider that if even a single person inside the jeep moves, even when the engine is off, photos can be blurred with this distance. Always ask your guide to turn off the engine otherwise you will not be able to catch anything. Also as mentioned before the distances are immense and maybe you have only one chance to see two young cheetahs, especially on such a short safari! If you can do that, invest in a bigger zoom with a great stabilizer. Even with mine you'll still have the opportunity to take home a nice memory but it can be frustrating to have come all that way and miss the opportunity by a whisker. The photos below are exactly as I took them

Wow what an unforgettable experience
From the moment we first enquired with Kiliclimb African Safaris, to the moment we were dropped off at Arusha airport and met in Zanzibar to be taken back to our hotel, the service and experience has been above all of our expectations. Moses and his team did an exceptional job of understanding what we wanted to do, answering questions quickly along the way, no matter how small. The briefing we had two days before our safari was so reassuring to meet the team and also our fab guide Ombeni. And wow what we can say our 3 day trip to the serengeti and ngorongoro crater including the accommodation’s was superb. Ombeni made sure we had the best time out on safari, spotting animals and making sure we got great views of them. He was so knowledgable, fun and engaging and just all round great person. Moses also met us as our trip ended to make sure that our expectations had been met! Could not recommend Kiliclimb Africa Safaris enough - we will be booking with them again.
Response from the operator: DearTina Thank you so much for this incredible review! It was truly a pleasure having you with us, and I’m thrilled to hear that your 3-day fly-in safari to the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater exceeded your expectations. From the initial inquiry to the final transfer in Zanzibar, we aim to make every step smooth, personal, and unforgettable,so hearing this means the world to us. Ombeni will be overjoyed to know you appreciated his guiding skills, knowledge, and energy. He, like the rest of our team, takes great pride in creating meaningful moments for our guests in the wild. Thank you once again for your trust, your kind words, and your recommendation. We can’t wait to welcome you back for another unforgettable adventure with KiliClimb Africa Safaris! Warmest regards, Moses Yohanes KiliClimb Africa Safaris

3-Day Fly-In Safari to the Iconic Serengeti: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Arusha.
How much does 3-Day Fly-In Safari to the Iconic Serengeti cost?
+
Prices start at $2250 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 3-Day Fly-In Safari to the Iconic Serengeti take?
+
Plan for about 72 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 3-Day Fly-In Safari to the Iconic Serengeti worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 53 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 2 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 3-Day Fly-In Safari to the Iconic Serengeti?
+
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 3-Day Fly-In Safari to the Iconic Serengeti suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 5. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 72-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book 3-Day Fly-In Safari to the Iconic Serengeti?
+
Around 1 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 72-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 3-Day Fly-In Safari to the Iconic Serengeti 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 Materuni Waterfalls, coffee tour & Kikuletwa Hot Springs, 4 Days Group Camping Safari, 3 Days Serengeti & Ngorongoro Group Camping Safari. 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.
