    Tarangire, Ngorongoro and Lake Manyara in One Great Trip

    We were really impressed with this 3 day safari! On the first day itself I was impressed to see the huge herd of elephants, baobab trees and different types of wild animals in Tarangire. On the second day going down to the Ngorongoro Crater, seeing the Rhino, Buffalo, Hippo Pool and innumerable animals, it seemed as if I was in a nature documentary. On the third day I got a chance to see the tree-climbing lions of Lake Manyara, which was amazing. Our guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. He explained in detail about the behavior of the animals and always found the best spots. The pop-up roof of the 4x4 Land Cruiser was very convenient. Accommodations and food were good. This package is great for those who want to travel to Tanzania for the first time.

    Three Days Full of Wildlife

    This three-day safari has been better than we expected. I have seen many elephants in Tarangire, lions and rhinos in the Ngorongoro Crater, and water buffaloes and a variety of birds in Lake Manyara. I've seen all the big ones! The guide was very knowledgeable and always took you to the best place. The car is comfortable, the parking fee is all included. The food was good too. Thanks to the African team. I would definitely recommend to those who want a good safari in a short time.

    Three days to be in harmony with nature

    This trip was better than we expected. On the first day, I saw a huge herd of elephants, giraffes and zebras in Tarangire. On the second day, while descending inside the Ngorongoro Crater, the landscape was so beautiful that the eyes could not be turned back. I saw lions, buffaloes and hippos. On the last day the greenery of Lake Maniera and the diversity of birds captivate the heart. The guide patiently answered all of our questions and showed great skill in locating the animals. Accommodation, meals and parking are all included in the price. I came to Tanzania for safari for the first time, but after this tour there was a desire to do a bigger safari. A big thank you to the whole team!

    Amazing Wildlife Adventure with African Overland Ltd

    Our 3-day Tanzania Safari was truly unforgettable. I was fascinated by the huge herd of elephants in Tarangire, the Lion and the Black Rhino in Ngorongoro Crater. Don't miss the sight of a lion perched on a tree in Lake Manyara. The guide at African Overland Ltd was exceptionally knowledgeable and caring. Breakfast was good and the beds were comfy. This 3-day package is perfect for those who want to go on a safari.

    Unforgettable 3-day safari!

    It was my first safari, but it was great! In three days, I saw elephant-lion in Tarangire, rhino-hippo in Ngorongoro Crater, migration in Serengeti. The guide is very knowledgeable and interesting. The car is comfortable, the food is tasty, the lodge is good. Perfect for watching the Big Five even if time is short. I recommend it to everyone!🦁

    3 Days Amazing Tanzania Safari: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does 3 Days Amazing Tanzania Safari cost?

    +

    Prices start at $1,281 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 Amazing Tanzania Safari 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 Amazing Tanzania Safari worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 64 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 7 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 Amazing Tanzania Safari?

    +

    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 Amazing Tanzania Safari 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 Days Amazing Tanzania Safari?

    +

    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.

    Where does 3 Days Amazing Tanzania Safari 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.

    What is included in 3 Days Amazing Tanzania Safari?

    +

    Included: Accommodation while in Safari on full board basis; All government taxes/VAT; Transportation in a customized a 4*4 Land cruiser all with pop-up roof; Lunch; and Services of professional tour driver/guide. Not included: International flights from home and back; Tips and porterage; Visa fees (if applicable); and Travel insurance. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does 3 Days Amazing Tanzania Safari include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 2 listed pickup locations in and around Arusha. Be ready about 120 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    What languages is 3 Days Amazing Tanzania Safari offered in?

    +

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    Is 3 Days Amazing Tanzania Safari wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Not recommended for pregnant travelers. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to 3 Days Amazing Tanzania Safari if the weather is bad?
