Unforgettable safari with an outstanding guide!
Our safari to Tarangire and Ngorongoro with Altezza Travel was an incredible experience, largely thanks to our guide, Logolie (aka Logo). He was knowledgeable, patient, and passionate about wildlife, and he always seemed to know exactly where to find the animals. In Tarangire we were amazed by the huge elephant herds and ancient baobab trees, and the Ngorongoro Crater was simply breathtaking. Logolie made every game drive exciting. He shared fascinating stories about the animals, the landscape, and Maasai culture, and he took great care of our safety and comfort throughout the trip. He went above and beyond to make sure we had the best possible experience. Highly recommended. If you book with Altezza, ask for Logo!

3 jours Tarangire et Ngorongoro
After successful Kilimanjaro climb, we decided to make a 3 days safari in Tarangire and Ngorongoro. We started our safari with a visit of Tarangire national Park where we could see a big number of of elephants, giraffes, zebras, monkeys… It was a perfect visit easy to reach from Arusha. We spend the night at the escape lodge with a great view of the lake Maniara. From there we spend half a day in Ngorongoro National Park where we could observe a large number of animals ( lions, zebras, gazelles, hippos, birds, rhinos…) Then we went to the Melia signature lodge located on the rim of the crater. The hotel is an absolute splendeur, overlooking the entire national park. Everything was perfect. The following day, we left very early to explore again the park where we could see a lion eating breakfast as well as an hyenas hunt and obviously all the other animals. We’re lucky to get a guide, a fantastic person under the name of Aloyce from Altezza company. He knew the best routes and didn’t want to follow the crowd. He was smart and gentle . He had a deep knowledge on the entire fauna, understood the animals habits… A perfect trip with a great guide organized by a great company.

Look No Further - Five Stars Isn't Enough!
Our experience with Altezza Travel was exceptional from beginning to end. From the initial planning and communication through to the final day of our trip, everything was organised professionally and seamlessly. Gerard and Thomas were absolutely outstanding guides. They consistently went above and beyond to ensure we felt safe, comfortable, and well looked after at every stage. Their knowledge, friendliness, and incredible ability to spot wildlife made every game drive exciting, and thanks to their expertise, we saw far more animals than we ever imagined possible (The Big 5). The accommodation throughout the trip was exceptional. Every lodge was beautifully appointed, comfortable, and thoughtfully selected, offering the perfect balance of luxury, authenticity, and breathtaking surroundings. It was clear that every detail had been carefully considered. I cannot recommend Altezza and their entire team highly enough. If you're considering a safari, look no further.

3-day Tanzania safari - Tarangire and Ngorongoro Crater: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Moshi.
How much does 3-day Tanzania safari - Tarangire and Ngorongoro Crater cost?
+
Prices start at $2,556 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Moshi 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 Tanzania safari - Tarangire and Ngorongoro Crater take?
+
Plan for about 120 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 Moshi is not rushed.
Is 3-day Tanzania safari - Tarangire 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 (5/5 across 28 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable outdoors in Moshi, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 3-day Tanzania safari - Tarangire and Ngorongoro Crater?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is 3-day Tanzania safari - Tarangire and Ngorongoro Crater suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 120-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 3-day Tanzania safari - Tarangire and Ngorongoro Crater?
+
Around 10 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 Moshi 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 Moshi and add a light layer if any part of the 120-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 3-day Tanzania safari - 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 Moshi 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 Moshi?
+
On Outty we rank every Moshi experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Materuni Waterfall, Coffee Tour and Picnic Hot Lunch, Materuni Waterfall and Coffee Plantation Half Day Tour, Kilimanjaro climb, Machame Route (7-day). 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 Moshi?
+
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 Moshi?
+
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 3-day Tanzania safari - Tarangire and Ngorongoro Crater?

Not included: Air tickets; Visa fee; Travel Insurance; and Tips to your safari guide ($30-50 per day per car). Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does 3-day Tanzania safari - Tarangire and Ngorongoro Crater include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 31 listed pickup locations in and around Moshi. Be ready about 30 minutes before the start time.
What languages is 3-day Tanzania safari - Tarangire and Ngorongoro Crater offered in?
+
