    Amazing safari tour

    Let me start but saying NKOLLO TOURS IS TRULY AMAZING! I had booked a safari tour with a different company via my travel agent in the UK. When we arrived in Zanzibar, i wanted to check this company were coming for us and to my horror they let us down with a days notice!! We were so disappointed so I searched the internet and found Nkollo, read the reviews and reached out. Straight away, Allan (the owner of Nkollo) messaged me back and was very friendly and reassuring. He listened to what i wanted and advised on a better option than the one pre-booked from the UK. His advice was impeccable and his communication second to none. He managed to arrange it for us in 48 hours with a collection from our hotel in Zanzibar to the airport and then to Arusha - ALL SEAMLESS. We were met my our guide for the 2 days, Ringo. We couldn't have asked for a better guide. Ringo was informative, catered to our needs and was keen to make our experience memorable. We visited Tarangire national park on day 1 and Ngorogoro crater on the 2nd day. By day 2, we still hadn't seen lions so Ringo was determined to find them...we found them straight! All in, we saw lion, lionesses, cubs, hyenas, elephants, zebra, wildebeests, impala, gazelle, hippo, flamingo, buffalo. We had a luxury lodge for the night between. Lunch was picnic style, all locally prepared, proper cutlery.....this trip was so memorable and literally a bucket list experience. Please use Nkollo tours, a local company with amazing guides, local knowledge, best experience ever!!

    Incredible

    I don’t even know where to begin! Allan is the perfect tour operator, quick, effective and informative information always available (I’m a type A planner!). Any and all enquiries I had were responded to promptly. Allan’s recommendations for the tour and accommodations were PERFECT! Allan went the extra mile to meet us prior to our safari, check in with us during and was always available, and also met us after for a debrief to check how our experience was. Lunches were excellent with wine, beer and soft drinks provided, in the most beautiful locations! Our driver Francis was the best, the friendliest, most upbeat guy who instantly makes you feel at ease. He worked tirelessly to ensure we saw the best (we saw everything even the elusive leopard!). Francis is so knowledgeable and respectful about, and for, Serengeti and Ngorongoro, the animals and the people that live there. It was my birthday whilst there and together Francis and Allan liaised with the safari lodge to organise a birthday cake and decorations for me! The whole trip felt so personal and special thanks to the people at Nkollo and I will never forget it. We will be back to Tanzania to see them again. Perfect, perfect, perfect trip.

    Fantastic Safari Experience with Nkollotours - Highly Recommend!

    We had a fantastic experience with Nkollotours! Communication with Allan was quick and easy. He responded to my emails and WhatsApp messages promptly before the safari, arranged our hotel stay the day before, and clearly explained all the details of the safari tour, making us feel well-prepared. Our group of three friends travelled in a spacious safari jeep, which allowed us to stand up for great views and photos. Our tour guide, Ema, was amazing. He was very knowledgeable about the region, the animals, and the local culture. His friendly personality and sense of humour made the long drives enjoyable. Thanks to his expertise, we saw the Big Five up close and had plenty of chances to take great pictures. The food was delicious, with the cook preparing simple but tasty lunches and dinners each day. The accommodations were excellent, featuring a mix of mid-range lodges and comfortable hotels, some of which offered amenities like swimming pools and Wi-Fi. Each place we stayed was well-maintained, providing a relaxing and comfortable environment after our daily adventures. Transfers between locations were smooth, making the entire experience stress-free. Overall, our safari with Nkollotours exceeded our expectations. The service was outstanding, and every detail was handled professionally. We felt well taken care of from start to finish, making the entire trip enjoyable and memorable. If you're looking for a reliable and affordable safari experience in Arusha, we highly recommend choosing Nkollotours. You won’t be disappointed!

    3 day Serengeti and Ngorongoro was amazing!

    I was very surprised by how much we were able to fit in in only three days! We saw 4 of the big 5, and some amazing sights, including a leopard napping in a tree, lions hunting a buffalo, and more! The camp grounds were comfortable and a lot of fun, and the food was great. If you have a tight window and want to do as much Safari as possible you should do this tour!

    Great Safari.

    Excellent safari. Our guide, Joseph, was great. We were surprised to have our own chef along and the food was better than we expected. The camping is fun but primitive. Bring a towel, pillow and toilet paper (we didn't but managed). I would recommend this highly.

    3 Days Group Safari Serengeti & Ngorongoro: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does 3 Days Group Safari Serengeti & Ngorongoro cost?

    +

    Prices start at $720 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 Group Safari Serengeti & Ngorongoro 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 Group Safari Serengeti & Ngorongoro worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 70 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 22 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 Days Group Safari Serengeti & Ngorongoro?

    +

    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 Group Safari Serengeti & Ngorongoro 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 Group Safari Serengeti & Ngorongoro?

    +

    Around 8 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 Group Safari Serengeti & Ngorongoro 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 Group Safari Serengeti & Ngorongoro?

    +

    Included: Private transportation; Lunch; Camping equipments; Dinner; and Breakfast. Not included: Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does 3 Days Group Safari Serengeti & Ngorongoro include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 87 listed pickup locations in and around Arusha. Be ready about 60 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    What languages is 3 Days Group Safari Serengeti & Ngorongoro offered in?

    +

    Is 3 Days Group Safari Serengeti & Ngorongoro wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Infants are required to sit on an adult’s lap. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.
