    Amazing from start to end

    Budget Safaris Tanzania did an amazing job and our guide Lucas knew the national parks very well taking us to hideouts of the lions, leopards, cheetahs and rhinos. Unforgettable experience in Africa, and I will be back for more and will undoubtedly book with Budget Safaris again. Thanks.

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much Salim for your Review

    Great experience!!

    We had a blast!! Hamis has a lot of experience organizing these safaris. He started telling us everything we needed to know in order to have the best experience possible. Everything was on time. David was our driver and he was funny, patiently answered our questions, and he did an effort for us to see as many animals as possible. He is also an amazing driver and knows how to drive those cars without getting stuck. He is also experienced in recognizing the animal behavior for our safety. Our cook was Godfrey. He did magic every single meal. I was impressed, and I'm still wondering how he managed to cook so different and delicious meals.

    It was what we were looking for for the price we paid

    Visited Natron (highly recommended), Serengeti and Ngorongoro. Very helpful team. They adjusted to our preferences and we paid a fair price for it. It was what we were looking for for the price we paid. Special mention to food: it was awesome what the chef made with the infrastructure that was available.

    3-Day Safari to Ngorongoro, Tarangire & Lake Manyara NP: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Arusha.

    How much does 3-Day Safari to Ngorongoro, Tarangire & Lake Manyara NP cost?

    +

    Prices start at $970 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 Safari to Ngorongoro, Tarangire & Lake Manyara NP 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 Safari to Ngorongoro, Tarangire & Lake Manyara NP worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 58 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 3 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 Safari to Ngorongoro, Tarangire & Lake Manyara NP?

    +

    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 Safari to Ngorongoro, Tarangire & Lake Manyara NP suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 72-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book 3-Day Safari to Ngorongoro, Tarangire & Lake Manyara NP?

    +

    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 Safari to Ngorongoro, Tarangire & Lake Manyara NP 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.
