3 DAYS AUTHENTIC WILDLIFE SAFARI
This was absolutely an authentic adventure tour. We visited Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro and Tarangire. The elephant at Tarangire wowed us and we really enjoyed our adventure for sure. Rhino in the Crater was a bit far from us but we finally saw them at a glance. Honestly speaking Tom is the best safari guide in Tanzania.

Unexplained Great Safari Ever
A group of friends and I decided to do Kilimanjaro in November. We booked the trip with Great Escape Trials who are one of the oldest and well established travel agencies in Tanzania. They not only gave us a wonderful and experienced crew but also top notch equipment for the trek. We also stayed at their hotel in Moshi – Kili Home Hotel which was perfect. We reached the summit on 28th November and then did a 3 day safari to Lake Manyara and Ngorongoro Crater. I highly recommend Great Escape Trial.
Response from the operator: We really appreciate for review on you Kilimanjaro climb with us. Great Escape trails staff are very enthusiastic to give you the best experience on your trip

Is 3 Days Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro Crater & Tarangire good value?
+

How much does 3 Days Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro Crater & Tarangire cost?
+

How long does 3 Days Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro Crater & Tarangire take?
+
Plan for about 102 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 Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro Crater & Tarangire worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 65 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 3 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.

Is 3 Days Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro Crater & Tarangire suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 15. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 102-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book 3 Days Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro Crater & Tarangire?
+
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.

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 102-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

+
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.
