    Great safari

    Super organized safari. Everything worked out well, the tents + equipment were great. We've seen a lot of animals.

    Excellent tour

    This tour guide was excellent. I had an amazing time. The guide was knowledgeable, able to explain animal behaviors and most importantly was able to locate them. Highly recommend

    It was an unforgettable experience.

    We had a wonderful experience. The staff are all friendly, the cooks cook very good food and the guides explain the animals in detail. There are few complaints. I recommend it. (If anything, the sleeping bag for rent was cold because the zipper did not close. Cold people should bring their own sleeping bags...)

    Incredible safari & guide

    We could not have asked for a better experience - it was above our expectations! Our tour was a cooperation with Suricata Safaris, and our guide Mandela was the absolute best! We were put together with 5 others, so we were 7 in total (awesome group of people!) + Mandela our guide and driver. We stayed in two different lodges on our trip (one was a tented camp with all amenities in Serengeti and the other was Rhino Lodge in Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Both amazing! We had a chef that cooked for the group and a few other groups - delicious local food! And again, thanks partly to our luck but also very much due to our guide Mandela who knew exactly where to take us, we saw almost all animals up close (we were mind blown): elephants, zebras, lions (on so many occasions, so close we could have touched them, and we saw them in action attacking a buffalo and also at another occasion eating a kill - it was a very rare sight so we were also lucky here), giraffes, a leopard, a cheetah, pumbas, antilopes, gazelles, monkeys, numerous birds, hippos, flamingos… Thank you Adam for organising and Asante sana Mandela for guiding and driving! We will always remember you :)

    Horrible experience/ greatest cheater#avoid them

    Most horrible experience#cheated our hard earned money#broken jeeps at dense forest at pitch dark night #never use ds guys!Doesn’t take any responsibility to rescue..advance money taken#park fees not paid!! Just horrible and scary people!!Avoid#avoid#avoid! We risked our lives!!

    Response from the operator: Dear current and future Esteemed Guests of Afrozone Kingdom Safaris, We extend our sincerest apologies to our valued clients, for an experience that may not have met your initial expectations. However, we wish to reaffirm our unwavering commitment to providing you with an unforgettable safari adventure when traveling to Tanzania. It is obvious that in the vast and unpredictable landscapes of Africa, unforeseen challenges, such as vehicle breakdowns in the heart of the Serengeti, can occasionally occur, however It takes a truly open mind to embrace these possibilities as part of the adventure while the rescue is on the process. Despite our relentless efforts and the considerable resources invested in rectifying such situations, we understand that some may have felt disheartened, though suppressing, discouraging, disregard and threats from the clients through the processes in order to initiate a huge amount of money as a refund is not always healthy and it always put more severence in the situation more than helping. We embrace diversity, recognizing that our clients come from different cultures and backgrounds. Yet, it is crucial to remember that it is always our intention to satisfy our clients in any situation, with that regard, We instantly initiated a refunds as per our last conversation right after safari with $500 returned, while diligently working on the remaining amidst funding and time constraints. Our dedication to serving our clients with integrity, commitment and to the very best of our abilities remains unchanged. Our track record is a testament to this commitment, as evident in the numerous positive reviews from our satisfied clients. We meticulously scrutinize every aspect of our operations, earning trust, respects and appreciations of countless current and previous travelers who have enjoyed our services. We value each sensible feedback, whether positive or negative, as it provides us with the opportunity to learn, adopt and improve continuously. Our goal is to leave each of our clients with indelible memories of a safari experience like no other, just as we have done in the past and currently doing it tirelessly. Dear our lovely future clients from around the world, as you plan your next adventure in the magnificent land of Tanzania, we eagerly anticipate the opportunity to welcome the travelers to Tanzania and your trust in Afrozone Kingdom Safaris is our greatest honor, and we remain dedicated to making your next safari an extraordinary one. Warm regards Afrozone Kingdom Safaris

    +

    It ranks #7 of the 7 similar experiences we compared in Arusha, with an Outty Ranking of 62. At $820 it costs less than the typical similar option ($1,031), so it is strong value. Best for families and couples.

    Who is 3 Days /2 nights Serengeti and Ngorongoro crater best for?

    +

    It suits families and couples best, based on its 72-hour length, all-ages access and free cancellation up to 24 hours before.

    Is 3 Days /2 nights Serengeti and Ngorongoro crater good value?

    +

    Yes. It starts at $820, below the $1,031 typical for similar experiences in Arusha.

    How much does 3 Days /2 nights Serengeti and Ngorongoro crater cost?

    +

    Prices start at $820 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 Days /2 nights Serengeti and Ngorongoro crater 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 Days /2 nights Serengeti and Ngorongoro crater worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 62 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.3/5 across 6 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 Days /2 nights Serengeti 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 3 Days /2 nights Serengeti and Ngorongoro crater suitable for kids and families?

    +

    How far in advance should I book 3 Days /2 nights Serengeti and Ngorongoro crater?

    +

    Around 2 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.

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.
