Great company, wonderful experience and customer service that is second to none
I booked a 3 day trip to the Ngorogoro crater, Lake Manyara and Tarangire national parks with Vision Safari and Tours, having read their reviews and noticed they offered a package I could afford, travelling solo. From the initial booking, Gloriana kept close contact through email and whatsapp, advising of the itinerary and everything was taken care of, transport, accommodation, which was comfortable, with good food in very pleasant surroundings. I was also loaned a pair of binoculars which was very much appreciated. Each day was amazing - the scenery breathtaking, the history and geology compelling and the wildlife varied and round every turn was something to observe in these wonderful places. The guides, Simba and Godfrey were experienced and made each day such an interesting and enjoyable time - and their knowledge of the area and the animals was impressive, and a chance to watch a lioness hunt was such a privilege. Not to mention a five star lunch in the most beautiful settings, we were really well looked after and each day was an unforgettable experience. It was quite clear to me that in order for this to happen, there is a whole team of people working extremely hard with mind bogglingly complex logistics and a clear will to provide clients with the best experience possible. The group of clients I was with changed every day - Rama and Ali, the drivers working hard to bring so many people from different places to where they needed to be, and back again, joining and leaving, coming and going, the guides making the magic happen wherever they needed to be on the day and Gloriana's first class, personalised customer service - everyone does a phenomenal job and the result was an experience I will treasure. Particularly the one or two minor adjustments or small problems that arose, which you would expect in such a complex undertaking and delivery of personalised experiences based on a large number of peoples needs and wants, were dealt with easily and communicated well - we all took priority and somehow they make it work beautifully, making these amazing experiences and their wonderful country accessible to all budgets and requirements without once compromising on quality - the wll used phrase "nothing was too much trouble" is very true. Vision are a great team and one I would recommmend every day of the week - I will definitely be back to visit all the other places on my list and they will be the first people I call! Asante sana, guys
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for this incredible review and for sharing your experience in such detail. We are truly grateful for your kind words and recommendation. It means a lot to hear that from the very first contact with Gloriana through to the final day of your safari, everything met your expectations and allowed you to fully enjoy Tanzania’s beauty. We’re delighted that the guides, Simba and Godfrey, along with the drivers and the wider team, helped make each day special and memorable. Your appreciation of the teamwork behind the scenes and the way even small challenges were handled is especially meaningful to us. It was a pleasure having you travel with Vision Safari and Tours. We would be honored to welcome you back for your next adventure there is so much more to explore. Asante sana, and we look forward to seeing you again

An unforgettable experience with outstanding service!
We had an amazing experience with Vision Safari Tours. From the very beginning, their service was absolutely top-notch. The team was always incredibly quick to respond to any questions we had and went above and beyond to make sure our trip was as enjoyable and smooth as possible. They were extremely attentive, helpful, and accommodating whenever we needed assistance or wanted to adjust something. Their professionalism and warm hospitality really stood out. If I ever return to Tanzania or Arusha, I would definitely book my safari or Kilimanjaro trip with Vision Safari Tours again — without hesitation. Highly recommended!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback! We’re delighted to hear that you had such a smooth and enjoyable experience with us. Your kind words about our team’s responsiveness and hospitality truly mean a lot. We’d be honored to welcome you back anytime for another safari or a Kilimanjaro adventure. Thank you for recommending us!

3 Day tour Tarangire, Ngorongoro crater & Lake Manyara: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Arusha.
How much does 3 Day tour Tarangire, Ngorongoro crater & Lake Manyara cost?
+
Prices start at $530 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 tour Tarangire, Ngorongoro crater & Lake Manyara 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 tour Tarangire, Ngorongoro crater & Lake Manyara worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 64 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 10 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable culture & history in Arusha, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 3 Day tour Tarangire, Ngorongoro crater & Lake Manyara?
+
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 tour Tarangire, Ngorongoro crater & Lake Manyara 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 tour Tarangire, Ngorongoro crater & Lake Manyara?
+
Around 4 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 tour Tarangire, Ngorongoro crater & Lake Manyara 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.
