Great Company. Great Trip. Amazing Wildlife
This was just an all around excellent experience. We had a well equipped and comfortable vehicle but the quality of the guide/driver, Gabriel and the cook, Apollo, were outstanding. Gabriel has laser eyes and picked out things no-one else has seen and on the first day, the find of the cheetah and her 5 cubs at a kopje was a real joy. No other safari trucks to be seen, so we had that experience to ourselves thanks to Gabriel’s sixth sense that “something” might be there! In addition his knowledge of all the bird life was first class. I’d recommend this company to anyone thinking of going on a safari here and if you get Gabriel and Apollo you can’t go wrong, although no doubt the rest of their staff will be first class as well.
Response from the operator: Thank you very much for your fantastic review! We believe that the driver is essential to any safari. To provide the finest experience for our clients, a professional guide with extensive knowledge and experience of our park and wildlife is required, and Tecomate Tours has them. Our team is overjoyed that we were able to meet your safari needs and that you have created lifelong memories as a result. Thank you so much for your recommendations; we would love to host you again in the future. cheers

great and qualified Safari Trip
Thanks to the very competent team at Tecomate Tours, we were able to absolutely enjoy our private camping safari to the south of the Serengeti and the Nogoronoro. This was mainly due to the very good booking and advice, the personal preliminary discussion the evening before the safari and the qualified guide and cook who accompanied us. We felt very safe the entire time and received a lot of background information (information about the landscape, culture, history and of course the animals and animal behavior), no questions were left unanswered. Last but not least, we were impressed by the always fresh and absolutely delicious food from Hermann our chef. He always made sure we were okay! Gabriel, our guide, demonstrated a perfect eye for sightings, routes and great photo spots throughout. The great team of guides and cooks created a very pleasant atmosphere and accompanied us throughout the entire time in a very friendly, humorous manner and with a very good knowledge of the German language. Together we coordinated the day's planning, taking all of our wishes into account. During the safari we took enough time to observe the animals. It was also important to us that all of the equipment was very well maintained (Toyota Landcruiser with a very good engine and options for charging technical equipment) and clean. We left the safari with a huge backpack of memories and thousands of photos, as well as the desire to come back. Thank you for this special time, we would love to go on safari with you again!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for such a thorough and good review. Your response is a result of "when we promise to provide, that is what we mean." Our hearts express how we can make our clients really happy during their trip with us, and this is our core of operation. We are delighted that we were able to meet your tour expectations and that you hope to return one day; We would be delighted to host you again and show you what our beautiful country has to offer. Please greet your friends and welcome them to Tanzania...

Why this scores 53
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
3 Days Budget Camping Safari to Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Arusha.
How much does 3 Days Budget Camping Safari to Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater cost?
+
Prices start at $1,231 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 Budget Camping Safari to 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 Budget Camping Safari to Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 53 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 2 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable outdoors in Arusha, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 3 Days Budget Camping Safari to Serengeti 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 Days Budget Camping Safari to Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater 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 Budget Camping Safari to Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater?
+
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 Days Budget Camping Safari to Serengeti 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 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 Budget Camping Safari to Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater?
+

Where is the meeting point for 3 Days Budget Camping Safari to Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater?
+
Our driver will meet and pick you up at 800 hours from your own booked hotel in Arusha City. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is 3 Days Budget Camping Safari to Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater offered in?
+
